Name puns are a timeless form of wordplay where a person's name sounds like a common phrase or situation when spoken aloud. This meme format usually pairs a relatable setup or a specific question with a punchline that reveals the character's punny name. From classic dad jokes like 'Anita Bath' to modern social media trends, these memes rely on phonetic similarity to create humor. They are widely used across platforms like Twitter and Reddit to celebrate linguistic wit or simply to induce a groan-worthy laugh through clever, often forced, naming conventions that have become a staple of internet culture.
