Give me your best puns that only work when written

feelin bored, give me your best jokes/puns that don’t work if you speak them out-loud.

to give an example, I quote Sir Terry Pratchett’s Going Postal:
“the gods are more interested in prophets than profits, ha”
“what?”
“forget it, it’ll look better written down.”

basically just jokes that rely on words sounding the same.

My 3 favorite things are the oxford comma, irony, and missed opportunities.

i sin cos im tan

I don’t know if this is only works written or not I just really wanted to share this

“You know I’m a catboy and not a furry because the difference is
Furries have fursonas
And catboys have… purr-sonas
laughter of a man deprived of humor

what accent do you have that f’s and p’s are pronounced the same

it’s likely the “purr” part that is a bit hard to hear, but it’s still not that hard to hear

My sister has multiple 9/11 puns that I can’t repeat on this forum.

She what

well unless it’s extremely hard/impossible to get the jokes when spoken out loud, those aren’t what this thread is for

They’re good puns but I’d get banned for saying them.

dm them to me pls

This isn’t a general pun thread this is specifically puns that can’t work when spoken aloud but do when written

Nvm
