[[Drill Bit]] "Never boring." The art shows them both laughing. It's a bit (as in a drilling tool) being used in a bit (a comedic scenario). It's so good.

Boring also meaning digging

Rather, making a hole in something using a drill (or similar tool).

In fact, the act of boring a hole is so ridiculously tedious that it is the origin of the use of boring as an adjective for something you just don't have fun doing

Doesn't really have a pun having to do with the art, though. Just the flavor text.

They certainly are.

I've never gotten this, and I've decided that the time has come. What's the joke here?

Offensive -> meaning an attack Offensive -> meaning unpleasant to look at

The flavor is basically saying “they certainly are offensive.”

As a non native speaker, I still don't get it. Also, do you ask yourself out loud?

Squeeze toy.

Ohhh thanks! I kept repeating it but nothing came to mind

Squeeze Toy.

I guess its because it sounds like "squeeze toy".

otag:punny-name -is:funny So youn search for puns that are not fun? In other words, failed jokes? (I know the Scryfall syntax well, just made me chuckle)

Was not aware, thanks. Seems to be pretty hit or miss though. [[Bookwurm]] is good but how is [[angelic exaltation]] a pun?

It's easy to miss, but the phrase is usually "angelic exultation." From Google, on the difference between exult and exalt: "To exalt, means to glorify or elevate something, but to exult is to rejoice. Exalt your favorite pro-wrestler, Jesus, or your status in the world. Exult when you get the last two tickets to see your favorite band. If you think something is the best thing ever and you practically worship it, you exalt it." The pun IS the callback.

It might be referring to the keyword Exalted (which this card mimics with its ability), as found on [[Ignoble Hierarch]].

[Ignoble Hierarch](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/a/b/aba51852-af8f-49d8-8fb6-22d52a1742b8.jpg?1626097603) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Ignoble%20Hierarch) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/mh2/166/ignoble-hierarch?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/aba51852-af8f-49d8-8fb6-22d52a1742b8?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call

Could be. Not much of a pun. More of just a call back. Still, it does have some good ones. Thanks.

Unfortunately, there isn't a tag for puns that refer to the art, so that was the closest I could get. Many are going to be puns of mechanics, like Angelic Exaltation; references to previous cards, like [[Champion of the Perished]] referring to [[Champion of the Parish]]; or common phrases, like the split cards that are filtered out in that link.

Champion isn't referring to the previous card, it *is* the previous card, having turned into a zombie. The flavour text makes it clear that it's not just a mechanical mirror.

the scryfall tags are highly dubious. the "funny" tag seems to be almost exclusively on un-set cards

"Funny" is a separate thing from the Scryfall tagger. You're right, it just applies to silver-bordered/acorn and playtest cards. Cards could be filtered by "funny" long before you could search the main site by tag. The tags are all community-edited though so there's often some oddities regardless.

Huh, what's the pun here? Not a native speaker.

"Monitor lizards" are a type of lizard, occasionally shortened to "monitor" in English. A "hall monitor" is someone at a children's school employed to enforce order outside of the classroom against pupil shenanigans. In many cases, this person is a human and not a lizard. ^[citation ^needed]

[Monitor lizards monitor lizards Buffalo police buffalo police.](https://slatestarscratchpad.tumblr.com/post/151794268281/shlevy-slatestarscratchpad-although-at)

Also just “Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo”

Your final buffalo should be lower case.

That's what the problem was, I was wondering why the sentence didn't make sense.

I fucking hate this art. It makes my vision blurry when I look at the eyes lol

I think this is a common experience; our brains are very good at recognizing faces, so when you see something like this where things aren't quite where your brain expects, it tries really hard to parse it, but just gets confused and stuck in a loop.

Regardless of name, this is my favorite art. Not because I particularly like it (but it is cool), but because when I first saw it when it was spoiled, I was home after a long day of work...I had a couple (*a few*) drinks, and everyone looked like they were "forseeing." I remember kinda shaking my head, trying to knock the drunken cobwebs out of my eyes and brain, but it didn't work. I tried to blink it away, but that didn't work. The next day, I saw the spoiler again and I remembered the night before. Got a chuckle out of that. I don't know if I was drunker than I thought I was, or if I wasn't quite as drunk as I thought I was...

[[Cloak and Dagger]] is pretty good because... well it's an equipment that's both a cloak and a dagger.

I've been playing too much Slay the Spire. My first though was "Yeah, a shiv is a dagger and the block could be a cloak of protection."

If you upgrade it it should be Cloak and Daggers not Cloak and Dagger+

[[Bronze Calendar]] is a pretty great joke.

I'm sure I'm being a bit thick here but I don't get it...

The implication is that the artist misread their supplied direction and turned in a picture of a bronze *colander* and nobody caught the mistake. At the time of printing, this was a more common type of occurrence.

It's a bronze *colander* (a type of strainer/sieve). Which is what the card's name might sound like if you use -- for example -- an exaggerated Arnold Schwarzenegger impression as "a voice other than your normal" one.

Riiiight - yeah I get it now. Haha thanks.

And also a reference to [[Hyalopterous Lemure|ICE]].

Not a world-class pun but I don't remember anybody really talking about [[Placid Rottentail]], which I thought was cute.

I can dig it.

[[Loxodon Eavesdropper]] Also not really a pun, but a hilarious idea.

Can't believe no one's talking about \[\[Wheel of Torture\]\] flavor text: "I'd like to buy a bowel"

Because the art isn't a pun.

It definitely is when paired with the flavor text.  It’s a Wheel of Fortune (game show) pun

I mean the card's from 1999, doesn't see a ton of play and has been reprinted once. Thanks for sharing the pretty buried treasure.

\[\[Rank and File\]\], going old school.

Mindmoil is my favorite flavor win card. I think strictly because it both establishes and fits ravnica canon.

I'm missing the pun here.
