One time I decided to name an enemy faction based on a bad pun. I told the players the name was chosen intentionally, and one of them especially was doing some moderate research to try to figure it out. When I finally played the pun a year later, everyone groaned. It wasn't even a good pun.

I was waiting ages for someone to post this!

Still, better now than not at all, I suppose.

The game's premise was "what if the head vampire in the city was basically Trump, and you're all freedom fighters?" The bloodline was called the Publii. It was a setup so I could say something like

"We publii can control the city! It will be terrible!"

That is, "Republican control the city! It will be terrible!"

It's really bad. The grammar isn't even quite right.

"Yeah, the Publii clan is annoying. Especially their leader. I'd go over it, but I already sent you an email about it. It should have the subject line 'RE: Publii Khan' or something"

"Oh, I've heard of the Publii clan before! I met one of their men, a Mr Danger. I think his name was Ken or something? He tried to warn me about something, but the guy just spoke in riddles, so it was hard to understand. I wonder what Publii Ken Danger meant..."

"Aren't they those authors? They had a magazine about spending holiday time with your family instead of going abroad. Have you ever read the Publii-cation publication?"
