The page image is not a pun, plain and simple. Its an amusing example of Fun with Acronyms, but it is not a pun.

I'm not seeing a pun either, unless it's something relating to Doofensmurf's characterization that people who watch the show would know about.

I did see a bit of that show a long time ago and I can't tell.

Well, according to the first example in Western Animation:

  • In Phineas and Ferb, when Dr. D helped found an organization of evil scientists, until it was pointed out to him, he had no idea the acronym was L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N.

I'll agree it should be pulled, though.

Yeah, not a pun, needs to go, both the pic and the example.

Clock is set. As suggestions, how about the first and third panels of this or the third panel of this, appropriately cropped?

I don't see the pun in 8.1. The person on the bench just misunderstood them.

8.1 is also a case of Fun with Homophones and would make for a better trope image there compared to current.

Got to agree. It's a better fit on that page.

Alright, the clock is up on this one. I'll start a thread for Fun with Homophones; locking this one for lack of consensus in the meantime.
