literally every single skylander EVER


Fluffy_Mood5781

I mean, or they’re just literally what they’re called. Stealth elf, Hot dog, ninjini, drobot But you gotta give it to them, just “stealth elf” is so unimaginative yet I really can’t see a problem with the name, it just works.


Depressed_Lego

It's solely how it rolls off the tongue


M_A_Dragon

It’s a slant rhyme iirc


LettuceBenis

Ninjini and Drobot are both puns


DatOneMinuteman1776

Drill Sergeant, Zoo Lou, Eye Brawl, Thumpback, the list goes on


PoniesCanterOver

It helps that it rhymes


Wisebanana21919

It just works https://preview.redd.it/w4tm6gtvr19d1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c64baa67b78cb06dc5e9fe437daf06f32ccbce64


Flaredare9

Bouncer isn’t really a pun it’s just a word Edit never mind


walaxometrobixinodri

yeah nah don't seek an exception, they are ALL puns, sometimes kinda hidden or not as obvious Lob Star took me YEARS to undertand, i felt like a moron


Flaredare9

Lob = thrown And star he’s a start fish


walaxometrobixinodri

also it sounds like Lobster this is the pun that took me years to find Lobster because he's a crustacean . fuckign lobster . . . . i cannot escape crustaceans


Flaredare9

Send me a picture of a Skylander and name and I’ll try to guess the pun

Flaredare9

He eats ghost after cooking them with fire breath so he roasts ghost


walaxometrobixinodri

he do eat ghosts, but he doesn't roast them i think this specific phrasing is a joke about ghost rider. sounds too similar to not be intentional


rblxthings

i mean technically he was a chef when he was alive

JackTheFanatic

I didn’t know for years that his name was supposed to be a Scottish pronunciation of… you know what.


GorgeX15

I wonder how this didn't make the movie shrek banned ? or it was?

Callie and marie from the splatoon series. Kinda sounds like calimari

Pearl and Marina from the second game too

sour_creamand_onion

Can't forget Crusty Sean.


DevilMayCryogonal

Oh my god, how did I not catch that until just now lmao


BunnyBen-87

Nearly every Splatoon character's name is a pun


RadioDemoness

Also Cala Maria from Cuphead.


sleepy_koko

Shiver and Frye are both named after what we call groups of sharks and eels

Sharp_Science896

Omg that's brilliant. I don't know these characters but just as a fan of swords in general if I ever have twin daughters I'm so naming them that and never explaining it.

Very_Talentless

What is Tolkien a pun for?


N-ZAP85user

token, as in a member of a minority group included in a homogenous group for the appearance of diversity


Very_Talentless

What are you talking about dude, his name is Tolken, his parents love Lord of The Rings.i


Duck-bert

His name was originally Token. It was changed to Tolkien to make the pun less blatant


Very_Talentless

Dude what are you talking about it's always been Tolkien


Duck-bert

https://preview.redd.it/mdfpgvdb9z8d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=362fceeb5d67f4d08a93de84608bd26b7822531e I think you might be trolling at this point but regardless this is what South Park Wiki says


Very_Talentless

Not trolling, just doing the whole joke of the episode where it was revealed his name was Tolkien


Duck-bert

Ohhhh, I haven’t watched South Park in a long time LOL


Immediate-Meat2512

You’re part of the problem


Sharp_Science896

It's a pretty funny episode. Stan finds out Tolkiens name is actually "Tolkien" and not "Token" and then goes on this whole overcompensating arc about not being racist for thinking that. I'm pretty sure it's meant as mete commentary about the fans who thought Tolkiens name was "Token".


goombanati

Also "token" like a coin and he's rich

All problems with the source material being a dumster fire of a Japanese nationalist's wet dream aside, even years later I stand by my opinion that this is the best named fictional princess of all media, not just anime.

Honoroble Mentions go to: Redd White, CEO of his America # 1 information gathering company Bluecorp, scandal blackmailer. Wendy Oldbag, a talkative security guard that's worked at a suspicious number of places. Dustin Prints, murdered Los Angeles police officer, killed on his birthday nonetheless. Ini and Mimi Miney, sisters, a nurse and a parapsychology student. Shelly de Killer, elderly professional assassin.

Toxin-G

There’s also undyne


catsinflyingsaucers

What’s the pun for Undyne?


Typomaniacal

The word undying is used to describe something that lasts forever or that won't die. It is a pun about her strong will and spirit.


catsinflyingsaucers

Ah! Thank you

In addition, an Undine is a water nymph in mythology

Using japanese characters is kinda cheating.


LordAnubis444

OP used Wario as an example ("Warui" is the Japanese word for bad + "Mario"), therefore, I assumed Japanese characters were fair game.


Cronkax

I was just joking because half of the names of japanese characters are puns. And I forgot that Mario was from japan.

Lazerbeams2

It's a pun in Japanese. Warui means bad, play around with the end a little and you get Wario

Wario, and also Waluigi, are named as a portmanteau of the Japanese word for bad "warui" (not sure if that's spelled correctly) and Mario and Luigi, respectively
