Substitution pun - This is when they rely on substituting a similar sounding word with a different meaning. Example: Puns are a low form of humor but I think poetry is verse. (verse is chosen because it sounds like worse) Homonym puns – these puns are homographs (pale, pail, tail, tale) Example: You can tune a guitar, but you can't tuna fish.
