Word avalanches
Incredibly contrived setups for homophonic punchlines
A word avalanche is a highly-contrived sentence, where many syllable sounds are repeated via the use of wordplay and/or puns. They can be pretty straightforward, like this:
-
Julie Andrews' delightful visits
Mary Poppins' merry pop-ins.
-
Visualize a pop rock band in women's clothing
Imagine drag on Imagine Dragons.
Each word avalanche has a rhyming pattern. Try sounding out the next avalanche:
-
Watching a crab fishing boat in the cold north be like
Ice sea captain I see capped in icy cab tin.
-
Visualize a pop rock band in women's clothing
Imagine drag on Imagine Dragons.
