I saw a meme recently:
“Vorhees a jolly good fellow….”
with him in the pic.
I responded:
“And everyone’s going to die.”

I knew the sixth panel was going to have the pun, so I paused after panel five and spent several minutes playing around with all the pieces, trying to figure out what it was going to be. I couldn’t come up with anything.
Is that the sign of a good pun, or a bad pun? Or is that a meaningless distinction?

I generally prefer spontaneous puns over contrived puns, but I also enjoy shaggy dog stories, which are contrived. Rat is both right and not-right in a Schrodinger kind of way.
Good and bad cannot be separated, both are fundamental qualia of every pun.
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
Dunno, I think I’m with Rat on this one….
Must’ve taken weeks or months to craft this pun. Amazing.
*groan*
