WHY IN THE WORLD DO SO MANY CARTOONS HAVE PUNS FOR THE EPISODE TITLES

[drizzleRomanceGirl]

the Loud House has them, my life as a teenage robot has them, pepper ann has them, and probably most cartoons have them.

to make you chuckle and question how it's relevant to make you want to watch it.

i like puns, but honestly i feel like the whole point of some episodes are just based on puns

Ooh boy you must dislike Donkey Kong Country world maps

i like puns but i like it better when the creators of video games actually think of an original level or world name instead of basing it off a pun; it makes the game seem more real

(that sounded a lot more harsh than i meant it to be; i like puns a lot but original names makes the game more special to me)

probably because puns are more effective and easier to think of than original titles, and easier to say

it's probably a trope by now.

altho one of my favorite cartoons ever is ed edd and eddy and all of their episode titles include "ed" somehow.

Yeah. If the title was dead serious it would be better.
Animation WD-11; in which a mouse pilots a nautical machine.
Animation HB-55; in which the day to day life of a neolithic stonemason is documented.
Animation AT-23b; part two of a comic chronicling the lives of alien martial artists.
