Peter Bonerz Puns

Over the course of 2020, my podcast co-hosts and I watched and reviewed all 168 domestic wide releases from 1980 on their 40th anniversaries. If anything appears to be missing, (Superman 2, Watcher in the Woods) it probably didn’t release wide in the U.S. until 1981. What follows is my personal ranking for the year and a bite-size summary of each film. Links to longer reviews are available in the comments.

#168 - Falling In Love Again

You wouldn't think that a script about a mid-life crisis written by an 18-year-old would be any good, and you'd be right.

#167 - Home Movies

Brian De Palma taught a film class and invited his students to write and produce a feature film. De Palma directed and called in favors from Kirk Douglas, Keith Gordon, and his then-wife Nancy Allen to star.

#166 - Loose Shoes

A collection of very low-budget comedy sketches from SNL alumni and adjacents. Mostly famous for an early appearance from Bill Murray.

#165 - Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown

Charlie Brown and friends head overseas, unsupervised, as foreign exchange students and uncover long lost details of Charlie's family history. Poorly animated, even for a Peanuts movie, and the last nail in the coffin for traditionally animated Peanuts films.

#164 - Running Scared

Two servicemen (Ken Wahl and Judge Reinhold) wrap up a tour of duty in Panama and stumble across plans for the Bay of Pigs invasion and are mistaken for foreign spies.

#163 - Middle Age Crazy

Wrongheaded mid-life crisis "comedy" starring Bruce Dern. A man worried about his age buys a luxury car and cheats on his wife to feel young again and we are expected to sympathize with him.

#162 - Nothing Personal

Romantic comedy that inexplicably features actual footage of baby seals being clubbed. It’s embarrassing box office performance prevented Suzanne Somers from doing a second movie for 14 years.

#161 - First Family

Buck Henry is usually a terrific comedy writer, and the cast of this film are inarguably the funniest working actors and actresses of the time, but this misfires hard.

#160 - Up the Academy

An 80s teen comedy so bad that Mad Magazine took their name off it. Rick Baker provides a stunningly accurate and equally disturbing Alfred E Newman makeup job that bookends the film.

#159 - Loving Couples

Insanely the first of two wife-swapping comedies on the year to star Shirley MacLaine. This one's worse. Stars James Coburn, Susan Sarandon, and Stephen Collins.

#158 - The Hearse

Second haunted house

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

I guess the concept didn't work

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

Do your worst!

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Mathematical puns makes me number

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

He lost May

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

And now I’m cannelloni

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

But that’s comparing apples to oranges

And boy are my arms legs.

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

BamBOO!

They’re on standbi

A play on words.

Calcium, nickel, neon

My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
