No problems, musick - this thread hasn't been full of puns! As Faldage so sagely says, these are not, strictly speaking, puns. A true pun relies utterly on homophonious ambiguity. Where you have to mis-spell or mispronounce words, it ain't a pun, not really. (Dunno what it should be called - any ideas?)
There are some mispronunciations that really do have a humorous effect, but mostly, they just give puns a bad name.

Ah, memories! Here in Detroit in the late 50s, all us kids had lunch in front of the TV with Soupy and his cast of characters, White Fang, Black Tooth and Pookie.... Soupy wore a black pullover and a polka-dot bow tie. Here's a bio: http://amdest.com/stars/ssales.html It seems to give his stint in Detroit short shrift, but I will always think of him as a local personality. Those were the simpler times!

What a coincidence! Paul Reubens (as Pee Wee Herman) had a summer home just up the road from us, near Pencil Neck Creek, WI.
