side question: are there actually any good ones?

question was prompted by seeing a "trumplestiltskin" variant that actually crammed a second pun in there and caused psychic damage. my brain has oublietted the specific phrase but maybe you've seen it too

Calling him 45 backfired at first because Trump fans reclaimed it, then again when he became 47.

Rostov or whatever "Russian agent" name they found didn't stick and was cringe for the few weeks it was around.

Agree on anything pun related, 90% of puns are utter trash.

Sgt. Bonespurs is almost funny as a name but it's immediately ruined by the context of "everyone should have draft dodged in Vietnam."

47

amerikkka "Great work 47, now head towards the exit point"

Agent Krasnov

The worst is definitely "Putin’s cock holster" for obvious reasons.

[–] hollowmines@hexbear.net 26 points 3 weeks ago

oooof that's comprehensively bad

Surprised no one has mentioned 'Drumpf' yet, that one isn't anywhere near as devastating as libs think it is.

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 30 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Drumpf sucks so bad that I think John Oliver asked people to stop saying it.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I looked it up, and this is true! Via Wikipedia

Oliver later said that the joke "got out of hand" and never used it on the show again.[33] In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, he said, "That joke became old for us very quickly. There's a reason we didn't use it again. It really is the song I skip past. It's 'Creep.' It's a good song, Thom Yorke! It was a good song when he wrote it."[34]

It'll never be worse than He Who Must Not Be Named or whatever the fuck potter dweebs call Voldemort

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 26 points 3 weeks ago

TFG

It means "the former guy" and not "that fucking guy" which is right there. Of course - the poor libs can't use it anymore because he's TCG.

[–] axont@hexbear.net 26 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The one Jon Stewart used to say, Fuckface von Clownstick.

[–] 30_to_50_Feral_PAWGs@hexbear.net 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What? That's a perfectly cromulent fuckcrustable of a Trump nickname!

[–] axont@hexbear.net 18 points 3 weeks ago

yeah that's why I don't like it. It's like calling Trump an epic fail baconwaffle or something

Cheeto Benito

cheeto-man

Putting forward for your consideration: Cheeto Benito and Mango Mussolini

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I've never seen that so I ask you, kindly, to delete this before it spreads

[–] OldSoulHippie@hexbear.net 10 points 3 weeks ago

You must have the self restraint of a monk. Every so often I wander into lib spaces for some psychic damage.

Actually I think I heard that one on Trillbillies podcast.

[–] Xenomorph@hexbear.net 19 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Years ago I saw "Tweeto" a pun on tweet and cheeto and it hurt me.

[–] AstroStelar@hexbear.net 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Former Slovenian PM Janez Janša.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I highly doubt he was based enough for the Tito comparison.

[–] AstroStelar@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

He once retweeted Alex Jones yea

[–] OldSoulHippie@hexbear.net 2 points 3 weeks ago

Twittler was going around for a bit

[–] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

"Drumpf" is literally just "Look at this prick, he's foreign" which is exteremly yankkkkee pilled

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 15 points 3 weeks ago

I despise the lib mentality of "it is ok to be racist/sexist/homophobic if they are a bad person" So disgusting.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 18 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I think there's a phenomenon where all cultural phenomena are dampened by language barriers. In Spanish I've heard him called Donald Trompa which just means Donald Trunk. It isn't even insulting, it just sounds like Trump. It's only 1% as cringe as the English one.

[–] Moss@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Donald Trunk is funny to me because I think it's hilarious when names are slightly wrong.

I don't remember what the context of Presinald Trunt was but that makes me laugh still

[–] Skye@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago
[–] OldSoulHippie@hexbear.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

"presinold trunt" is probably the best example of what OP was asking for when it comes to "good" ones

[–] hollowmines@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago

"donald trompa" is sort of cute unfortunately

[–] GoebbelsDeezNuts@hexbear.net 17 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

kind of related but when i was working with a bunch of right wingers who all assumed i was a big lib nicknamed me "two scoops" which later just became "scoops"

ive never been so owned

for reference

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't understand this. So they were mocking you because Trump had icecream? And they thought you'd be upset by this? Or they thought you'd be upset that he got "two scoops" instead of one? Do libs get upset by that? Two scoops are way better, you can have two different flavours instead of just one.

[–] GoebbelsDeezNuts@hexbear.net 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

it was a thing in the news cycle for a day or two where a bunch of media libs were upset trump served people at the white house one scoop of ice cream while he himself had two.

yes it was as stupid as you think it was, yes my coworkers thought I was upset by this

[–] Lucien@mander.xyz 4 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks for the link, because I assumed it was raisin bran related

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 16 points 3 weeks ago

President Tweety is especially cringe because it was thought up by Biden or at least someone on his campaign staff.

[–] Wisp@hexbear.net 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Not trump but I heard someone call Elon “elongated muskrat” in person and physically cringed

[–] OldSoulHippie@hexbear.net 4 points 3 weeks ago

9gag ruined an entire generations ability to come up with their own jokes.

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Ugh hate when they call him all these name

Like when they call him donal titty because I actually love titty

[–] Eco@hexbear.net 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

my mum called him mr t earlier and that one was just confusing

[–] hollowmines@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago

yeah I feel like he'd love that if anything

[–] neroiscariot@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago

DRUMPH because it's just a sad, nerdy, "UM ACKSHUALLY" own

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

My mom and her friends call him "orange lips." I didn't understand what the fuck she was talking about when she first used it in front of me.

[–] hollowmines@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

that doesn't even make sense? the lips are probably one of his less orange attributes? very weird

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

IKR? If anything, his lips are pink.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago

tRump sucks

[–] OldSoulHippie@hexbear.net 4 points 3 weeks ago

I especially hate the lazy ones like "the orange Cheeto"

Cheetos are already orange. The least you could do is be a little clever and get some alliteration in there

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 3 points 3 weeks ago
