The Pinkie

[edit]

Is there any reason, why is the painting displayed in the article? It is not explained in the text, neither contains any pun. --Šedý (talk) 13:44, 14 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. I think 'All is Vanity' would be a more appropriate image, being well known as it is, and a good and clear example of a visual pun. 90.201.91.77 (talk) 18:55, 15 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

this is pretty obvious but

[edit]

Shouldn't someone add some images? Some more examples should also be added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.229.112.135 (talk) 21:42, 3 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Water pun

[edit]

I would like one of those H2O water puns. Maybe someone could recreate this. I believe they're great examples of visual puns. I also like the cell wall pun and of course, this one is hilarious. Wumbolo (talk) 08:28, 18 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

dont get it

[edit]

Does something more need to be explained, perhaps about what Mr. Thorn's role was and/or what was said, for the reader to understand the supposed visual pun in "In the 1976 version of The Omen, after speaking with Mr. Thorn (Gregory Peck), a nun steps into a paternoster lift - the name meaning 'Our Father'"? I don't get it, anyhow. And I wonder if few viewers of the film would get it, if they are supposed to know what is the name for a "paternoster lift" when they see it, assuming it is not somehow labelled in the movie. --doncram 20:50, 23 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Is the Lamppost example truly a visual pun?

[edit]

In the gallery, does File:Toronto Towers (1).jpg truly depict a visual pun as defined in the article? I feel like that example should be removed, or the definition of visual pun should be expanded to include something like "highlighting visual similarities between otherwise unrelated objects". Thoughts?  Preceding unsigned comment added by Unitof (talkcontribs) 15:57, 9 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
