Why not give Sir New Prime Minister a break? | David Mitchell
Briefly

The headline 'Sir Queue Jumper' suggests a joke acknowledging the Prime Minister's queuing behavior, but stretches the pun's integrity by linking it to his title.
Despite the cleverness intended in the pun 'Sir Queue Jumper', the connection between 'Queue' and 'Keir' highlights the risk of diminishing language quality in humor.
The absurdity of using names like 'Queue' within puns poses a question of humor's standards, leaving us to wonder how far we're willing to stretch it.
Puns that misuse names, like 'Kemi Badenoch as leader of the bunch of twats,' challenge our conception of political parody and what constitutes acceptable humor.
