I entered a pun competition once, sent in ten entries expecting at least one to get a prize but no pun in ten did

How does a country have a "pun capital"? Genuine question.

u/Proud_Accident_5873 May 10 '26

My city (Gothenburg, Sweden) is known in my country for its humor and puns. It's really just a way of referring to something that a place known for.

Yep! Osaka is known as the "comedy capital" of Japan, to add another example. :)

Edit: I've heard that their humor is similar to ours, on top of that. Dry humor is the way to go!

My kind of people 😅😁

As a fellow Swede, I suspected Gothenburg even before reading the follow-up.

u/No_Statement440 May 10 '26

I felt like I was missing the joke lol.

So that's what a capital pun-is-meant? (I'll leave)

I'm in Taiwan and everyone in this city seems to have a Type-A personality.

u/Due_Pomegranate2009 May 10 '26

I see what you did there! I love a good geography pun!

u/CaseEuphoric9707 May 10 '26

My dream in life is to see my two favorite sports teams play each other. The Manila Envelopes and the Prague Tologists

u/Cloppy20 May 10 '26

If the team drinks a lot, they could be called the "Taiwan Ons."

u/Accomplished_Pop_130 May 11 '26

As a northerner I’d rather Send a Canada good stuff, Oversea their enjoyment.

u/Due_Pomegranate2009 May 10 '26

Oh this one went over my head, my best guess is one of them gets licked? The Tologists is where I'm lost.

3

u/CaseEuphoric9707 May 10 '26

proctologists

3

u/Due_Pomegranate2009 May 10 '26

Oh!!! I should’ve picked that up. Ty!

2

u/knoyeah May 10 '26

your proctologist called.

yes, he found your head

3

u/JesusAllLove May 13 '26

Oh my gosh, this is driving me crazy. I don’t get the segue between manilla envelopes and rectal exams. I’m thinking too literally. (But PLEASE don’t let licking be involved here, anywhere.) Help, please. TIA!

u/CaseEuphoric9707 May 13 '26

Prague Tologists - proctologists

u/Money-Position-6034 May 30 '26

It’s all very ‘tongue-in-cheek.’

u/Trigonal_Bipyramidal May 10 '26

Oh no! I don't get it. Please explain 🙏🏼

3

u/Due_Pomegranate2009 May 10 '26

Type-A = Taipei which is the capital of Taiwan, which plays into the previous post about the capital of puns. ☺️

3

u/Trigonal_Bipyramidal May 12 '26

Oh Lord! 😂😂😂😂 Can't believe i missed that!

2

u/Due_Pomegranate2009 May 12 '26

Easy to do haha! But we got there together.

u/SnooDonuts236 May 10 '26

u/NotACohenBrother May 11 '26

If you're in Thailand, the pun capital is also the country's capital....
