Wayne Barber has been running the punny business social media accounts on and off for quite some time. Wayne has been gathering the punniest business names and sharing them on his Twitter account Punny Business.

“Initially, it was great fun to try and find as many punny businesses as I could, and once I’d built up my followers, they started finding them for me.”

Wayne admitted that over the years, he started noticing the same names used repeatedly, and this “can get a little boring.” Nevertheless, he’s still excited when he sees a completely new pun, especially if it’s hilarious.

Wayne mentioned his favorite punny business names: "Much Ado About Muffin (a cake shop in Stockton upon Tees, UK), The Merchant of Tennis (sports shop in Toronto, Canada), Tan'in'Ere (Stayley Bridge, UK), and Ghost Bus Tours (Ghoulish Based Bud Tours across several UK cities)."

His absolute favorite is a play on words with a famed '90s song by a band called Cornershop. "It's a small food van that serves hot breakfast sandwiches of sausage, bacon, and egg, etc. that is located in a lay-by on the main road near my home town of Kingston upon Hull called Brimful of Rasher (a pun on the '90s song Brimful and Asher by Cornershop). It never fails to put a smile on my face."

Wayne believes that puns and humor can give passersby a good laugh, and it's not just in Britain. "I truly believe that it can help make a business instantly more memorable and it is more likely to tempt people in, especially if it's a funny one."

Especially if it invokes a bizarre image "such as Brian Pickles Lawn Movers or the RSPCA Animal Rescue Charity shop in Bury, UK having the slogan Helping Bury Animals." Wayne also said that "it all leads to these businesses being talked about and gets some form of free advertising."
