The Pinkie
[edit]Is there any reason, why is the painting displayed in the article? It is not explained in the text, neither contains any pun. --Šedý (talk) 13:44, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
Agreed. I think 'All is Vanity' would be a more appropriate image, being well known as it is, and a good and clear example of a visual pun. 90.201.91.77 (talk) 18:55, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
this is pretty obvious but
[edit]Shouldn't someone add some images? Some more examples should also be added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.229.112.135 (talk) 21:42, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
Water pun
[edit]I would like one of those H2O water puns. Maybe someone could recreate this. I believe they're great examples of visual puns. I also like the cell wall pun and of course, this one is hilarious. Wumbolo (talk) 08:28, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
dont get it
[edit]Does something more need to be explained, perhaps about what Mr. Thorn's role was and/or what was said, for the reader to understand the supposed visual pun in "In the 1976 version of The Omen, after speaking with Mr. Thorn (Gregory Peck), a nun steps into a paternoster lift - the name meaning 'Our Father'"? I don't get it, anyhow. And I wonder if few viewers of the film would get it, if they are supposed to know what is the name for a "paternoster lift" when they see it, assuming it is not somehow labelled in the movie. --doncram 20:50, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Is the Lamppost example truly a visual pun?
[edit]In the gallery, does File:Toronto Towers (1).jpg truly depict a visual pun as defined in the article? I feel like that example should be removed, or the definition of visual pun should be expanded to include something like "highlighting visual similarities between otherwise unrelated objects". Thoughts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Unitof (talk • contribs) 15:57, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
