Pun
aka: Incredibly Lame Pun

[CIA Agent Stan Smith is being briefed in Japan; he and Avery Bullock his CIA Boss are dressed up like Geisha.]
Smith: Why are we dressed up like this?
Bullock: Because I thought we could be "Secret Asians".
Stan: A 16-hour flight for a bad pun? [grins] Yes. Yes.

A pun is a form of word play in which a word is replaced with another word that sounds similar. This may or may not entail a double meaning. Usually done for humorous effect.

For trope names that are puns go to Just for Pun. For tropes that are pun names of other tropes, you want Snowclones. These are very PUNNY.
