First off, I have nothing against puns. They are great for a quick laugh. The problem with puns is that they are too quick and easy. Right now the front page tends to be dominated by puns, and as such longer and more elaborate jokes have trouble gaining traction.
A number of other subreddits do "no images" days, or "text post only" days. I think this could be a solid addition to this sub, to give more elaborate and complex jokes a better chance to shine.
It's not about discouraging puns, it's about encouraging other forms of humor. It could start off as a single day, just as an experiment, to see how it goes.
Thoughts?
Many of the jokes are contributions from our users. If you find anything offensive and against our policy please report it here with a link to the page. We will do everything to make this an enjoyable platform for everyone.
