About This Quiz
While most of us are familiar with puns based on the terrible dad jokes we hear, puns actually have a rich history that dates back to Roman philosophers. Since the first words ever written (and spoken) for entertainment, puns have been an incredible asset to dramatists, philosophers, and satirists. In recent years, however, puns have been used more with comedic delivery, as they are often seen as gimmicky in the writing world. Most puns delivered on screen and on stage are done so in a very self-aware way in order to show the audience that the writers are aware of the silliness involved. However, the sheer wit that is involved in being able to write a pun or think one up on the spot is impressive in and of itself. Oftentimes, people find themselves struggling to come up with puns if they are asked to deliver one quickly.Â
