Merriam-Webster defines puns as "the usually humorous use of a word in such a way as to suggest two or more of its meanings or the meaning of another word similar in sound." There's a scientific answer to what makes a pun funny. A study on 'brain imagery' that used fMRI to investigate the relationship between semantic ambiguity and humor predicted that "jokes would activate a network of brain regions involving the IFG and the LITG but only if they involved semantically ambiguous words," per The Journal of Neuroscience. Conor, the creator of PunHub, who does graphic design and animation for an agency, cracked the 'scientific' code and is now diligently serving the audience with this 'pun-nilicious' project. So let's scroll through our list of his 20 most genius pieces of work because 'pundoubtedly' we are obsessed with puns.
