It's a given: we have a lot of Pun tropes, to the point that I often don't know where to put something in some situations: for example...

I was listening to Back To The Future's soundtrack, Back In Time in particular, and I realized the lyrics were kind of a joke: the song is from Marty's point of view, and he wants to be "back in time" so he won't be late, and of course it's also a joke on the whole time travel thing.

  • Take me away, I don't mind
  • But you better promise I'll be Back In Time.

So... where would that go? Stealth Pun? That didn't seem quite right...

I guess Pun?

It could also fall under a non-sexual example of a Double Entendre, if that's allowed.
