A Black Mark For Retarded Posting

God I love tortured puns. Andy having a pun-causing brain tumor definitely sounds like the kind of email they might read, good luck.
Yeah, depending on how it's worded I can totally see that getting onto the show.

Zsinjeh what a discovery! I'd hate for Andy to stop the puns because they're so amazing but we have to protect his brain! I hope they read your email and Andy makes a pun run out of it!

Well I signed it with my name, which is a double-name and ends in a german sounding surname and I'm Swedish, so he might have some ammo there.
I'd gladly give up my pride if it gives Andy the help he needs. :ohdear:

Whoa. That is like a red flag! Two weeks ago they read my email but they only pronounced my name slightly wrong. I hope yours gets better comedic treatment.

The only person I know of who can match Zaltzman in puns is the completely unrelated Ken Rudin of NPR. Actually, not only do both men have a genuine gift for punning, but they both have an encyclopedic knowledge of sports facts.

I'd love an It's All Politics/The Bugle crossover podcast :3:

One of my favorite parts of the whole thing is episode 5 when Jon is talking about Pakistan and Zaltzman gives him a Pakistan quiz that is only about cricket.

Al Murray on the 7 Day Sunday podcast (which would also interest British listeners of the Bugle) described Andy's puns as so powerful that they can retroactively take down governments.

He ended Stalin-ism this week.

Thanks for the info on this podcast. One thing I've noticed is that Andy is unbelievably funny on it and only seems average on the Bugle, because he's on it with John who is loving incredible.

Berlusconi is the goose that lays the golden eggs, except that in this version of the story the eggs contain 17 year old Italian prostitutes who he then attempts to gently caress.

I don't think Andy would enjoy the pun runs half so much if it weren't for how much John and Chris clearly hate them. For their part, John and Chris amplify this hatred to give Andy the reaction he's going for. It's actually quite a nice moment between friends.

I feel exactly the same way :3: A pun-run allows all three of them to just revel in how ridiculous they are.

John's anguished lamentations are the fuel that The Bugle runs on.

The legendary dog-based pun-run was amazing, but it would have been nothing without John's audible pain.

John did crack up at "cold and wet weaver" and acknowledge its brilliance, while Chris took the opportunity to resign (again).

Then again, maybe the 31st pun just broke him.

Andy Zaltzman is a living embodiment of the idea that a successful joke can divide a crowd but a genuinely bad pun will unite them like nothing else.

That's it exactly! When you hear the pun you HAVE to cringe and moan because that makes it funnier.

Normally for the London Marathon my friends and I drink and cheer on the runners, and have an arbitrary sign of support on the side of the building. This is us;



Just imagine instead of the helpful and motivating "COME ON JIM" a cheerfully badly spray painted "F**K YOU CHRIS", I think the perfect thing to be seen by thousands of passing runners.
