As someone who loves puns and other dad joke type humor, puns feel very much situational and a part of improv. They're great in the moment when you quickly think of something that gets the crowd groaning, but I can't just dig them up with no buildup and get that same feeling.

For example, I could tell you ten random puns without context to try and make you laugh, but more than likely, "no pun in ten did."
