Planet of the Grapes

We all know that eventually super-smart apes will take over the planet. And when they do, this is where they’ll come to buy a nice bottle of Pinot Noir. Spotted on New Oxford Street, London.

Phat Phuc

I wonder how they answer the phone? This Vietnamese restaurant in Chelsea, London is going straight into the Pun Shop Name Hall of Fame – not just because it’s funny, but because of how many hilariously awkward situations it must have caused the owners. Imagine asking the bank manager for a loan, organising a phone line, or simply ordering business cards.

Frock Me

I was walking along Regent Street in London when frock me, I came across this frocking great Pun Shop Name for a frock shop.

Hair Razors and Hairazor

Here’s a first: a ‘double Pun Shop Name sighting’. Simon Briscoe came across these very similar names in London – ‘Hair Razors’ in Primrose Hill and ‘Hairazor’ on High Holborn. Click on the Hairdressers Category to the right for more shear madness.

The Muttropolitan

If you can’t get your dog into The Bark Hyat, maybe there’s a room available at The Muttropolitan. Spotted by first time pun-ter Matthew Knapp on Oxford St, Sydney. For more mutt-related Pun Shop Names click here.

Just Screw It

Apparently your building project will be ‘done right’ and ‘on time’. Found in Rozelle NSW, ‘Just Screw It’ seems to be a strange Pun Shop Name choice for a building company, doesn’t it?

The Upper Crust

I went to this bakery in Collaroy, NSW to buy a sausage roll, but there were so many limousines and horse-drawn carriages parked out the front I couldn’t get in. Weird.. they must have really good sausage rolls.

UPDATE: I’m currently in London and came across another Upper Crust Bakery – part of a chain. This one is on Lower Road. No sign of the Queen.

Wool and the Gang

“Celebrate good puns, come on!” When Cool and the Gang released ‘Celebration’ in 1980, could they have imagined that Kylie Minogue would become famous for it 12 years later? Or that they would be the inspiration for this knitting-related Pun Shop Name in New York City? Thanks for the shot KC (and the Sunshine Band?)
