Pro Tip: How to Deliver These Puns
A good pun is a terrible thing to waste. To ensure maximum impact (or maximum groans), follow these guidelines:
The Deadpan Delivery: Say the pun and look straight into the eyes of your listener without smiling. This builds tension and makes the punchline hit harder.
The Explanation: If no one gets the pun (like “Obi-Wan Cannot Be”), explain it slowly. This usually makes it funnier (or more painful).
The Follow-Through: After you tell a Star Wars joke, don’t apologise. Say, “I find your lack of laughter disturbing,” to assert dominance.
If you’re looking to sharpen your comedic timing and delivery even further, this guide on stand-up comedy techniques offers excellent tips that work perfectly for delivering puns in any setting.
