Pun Watch: The News Pun Quiz Game

Do you like puns? Do you particularity enjoy punny headlines in newspapers? Would you like to hear masses of them recited in quick succession? If so, you’ll probably enjoy Pun Watch. Pun Watch is a game show in which 3 or 4 funny people try to guess the correct pun-ish headline attached to various news stories from the week. Some of the puns are brilliant, some of them awful, and some are such tenuous stretches they’d make Lilia Stepanova wince (look her up). Either way, there’s lots of ‘em. Even if you don’t like puns, give Pun Watch a go: You’d be surprised how much better puns about an accidentally eaten French camel get when you hear 40 in a row.

Episode 14 of Punwatch, the only pun-based game show that stops to consider whether or not you can make a good sports movie about tennis.

This episode is titled, “Kirsten Dunst’s Awkward Haircut After Cricket Themed Playboy Issue Incorrectly Administers Viagra.” Also, Cherry has a very mild stroke. Watch out for the surprise bonus rounds!

They changed nothing.

Episode S01E13 of Punwatch, with more controversial referee decisions!*

This episode is titled, “Tom Hanks, Emma Stone, Taylor Swift & FKA Twigs Featured In Several Puff Pieces”. I dunno. It wasn’t a theme week, this just kind of… happened.

 

Punsters: Alex Malone, Lisa Dib, James Ferris

Host: Andrew Cherry

This week’s episode of Punwatch, now with a much shorter running time because Alex wasn’t on!

This episode is titled “50 Shades star turns old tower into Star Wars themed golf resort.” Seriously, we’ve been trying to get the running time down. Turns out the answer was “don’t bring the guy who writes 30+ puns per story”.

 

Punsters: David Shaw, Lisa Dib, James Ferris

It’s Grand Final Weekend, the biggest sporting week of the nation!* So, this week’s Punwatch is an ALL SPORT STORY PUN edition!

To make it even more sporting, Melbourne comedian and noted AFL personality Cam Tyeson came along to contribute a pile of AFL puns and plenty of AFL chat. Something about Cam, he just makes you chatty.


*Excludes Queensland and New South Wales. We know, just humour us.
