Inspired by having a terrible pun review just published, I have decided to try to brighten up the drab, miserable lives of my fellow fwfrs with this competition.
Show us a really awful pun - either your own work or anyone else's - the sort which causes autonomic reactions such as loud groaning, hands covering the temples and muttering "Oh... no...". The linguistic equivalent of eating chilli peppers. 
To start us off here is my inspiration, although mercifully only fwfrs who watch snooker will understand it. The rest of you are spared.

There's one called something like "The Champ: Life and Times of Mike Tyson," for which I entered From Ear to Paternity. |

Antony & Cleopatra: Cleo in asp-pic.
Rosemary's Baby: Rosemary's scary minor development.
Nanook of the North: Cunayou just love him?! [Cunayou is one of Nanook's wives]
And one of my favs:
Stagecoach: Ford mesas with Maupassant. [film is based on a Maupassant short story called Boule de Suif; John Ford transplanted it to mesa territory - i.e. he "messed" with it]

OK, here's two I'm pretty ashamed of:
Triffids attack! Fuchsia'll survive! (Day of the Triffids)
Neill e-jackal-ates in Harrow. (Omen 3)
Very bad, I know.
But these I liked...
Buoy doesn't save girl. (Jaws)
Lugosi has coffin fit. (Ed Wood)
Keifers calling the shots. (Phone Booth)

I have to admit that I have two more I like:
"Boleyn for concubine." for Anne of a Thousand Days
and my highest vote getter:
"Jew-rues-Salaam Jokes!" for Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World
(I wonder if that last one might not get higher votes if people would read it faster - so that "Jew-rues-Salaam" begins to sound more like "Jerusalem" - which was my intention!)

I'm rather fond of my Lion King review: Today's Gnus: Mufasa trampled. |

You know what I think one of the most awful puns in existence is? It's a great movie, but the title of "Lucky Number Slevin" just made me want to change my language.
Ugh! Ouch! Blam! |

Most of my reviews are puns of some sort. Here are a few of my better ones:
"Grand Theft Otto" for A Fish Called Wanda,
"No Rest for Wicket" for Ewoks: The Battle for Endor,
"The Tin Blue Line" for Robocop,
and for its sequel, Robocop 2, one of my underachievers with only two votes (probably because no one else saw that movie): "Kane Enabled."  |

Is this a Catholic guilt-thing, Puzgal? 
Relax, you're among fellow sufferers here.

My worst pun (one of the few I have) is definitely "Lord Of the Springs" for A Case of Spring Fever. It was obvious and stupid and I'm ashamed of it. |
