This might as well be a running gag by now: can someone explain the joke on the quotes page? Was the third Robin a fake...?

The third Robin was Tim Drake.

It rhymes with "It's a fake."

The joke with Michael Jackson is not actually an example, whether or not it is funny. Spoiler: It's not funny.

I assume this Pearls Before Swine strip is an example, but I'm not seeing it. Anyone know?

EDIT: Nevermind, I remembered the mentioned example wrong. Disregard this remark.

How is the first Discworld example (the "Hangman" drink) a Stealth Pun? It's explained in the story.

Yeah, pulled it. Also the "unarmed combat" gag from Jingo, another Non-Stealthy Pun.

Is this more than a Justfying Edit for the MLP:FIM entry?
  • Prime example of the fandom forcing references where there are none. Amnion only means bowl in one single instance, "lamb's blood bowl". "Amnos" is Greek for lamb, not for bowl. So, there goes one third of the "pun". The second third, "morphic" means "shape-related", not "shaping". So, that's zero out of two. Finally, it's "bearded", not "hairy", so that's zero out of three.
