Unicyclists’ Film Club (PUNS)

Off-topic
1

I clearly have too much time on my hands to have come up with these film title puns.

Some may know the UK radio comedy show: I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue.

It has one “game” where the comedians/contestants have to come up with films/books that would appeal to a specific audience.

Plumbers’ Book Club
Firefighters’ Film Club

The films of course are then a play on words, on the titles of known, actual films.

So without further ado - here’s what I came up with (and please don’t judge - some puns are pretty awful, but I hope so awful they’re funny too) :sweat_smile:

The Lord of The Rims
The Hubbit
Good Wheel Hunting
Forest Bump
A FlickFlock Orange
Wheels of Desire
The Shortcrank Redemption
Edward Spokewrench Hands
MUni in Black
2001: A Spoke Odyssey
Jurassic Pump
Rim Man
Pump Fiction
MUni on The Bounty
Fight Hub
Eternal Sunshine of the Tubeless Mind

Less considered (good) puns… but who cares right?!?

The Maltese Unicon
The Hunt for Red Menace
Unicycle Thieves
No Country For Old MUnis
The Good, The Bad and the UPD
Dial M for MUni
Rosemary’s Baby-unicycle
The Hub Locker
The Big Short-crank
The Dark NightRider
Charlie and The Tyre Factory
The 39 Spokes
Schlumpfin’ in the Rain
Blazing Handle Saddles

How about:

  • The National Lampoon’s Unicon Vacation

… rich pickings if James Bond rode a unicycle (which given his talents he almost certainly can, probably with some special attachments…) – to start:

  • From UDC with Love
  • The Man with the Golden Schlumpf. (imagine how expensive one of those would be – wait, maybe they are already :wink: )
  • You only Fall Off Twice
  • No Time to UPD
  • On Her Majesty’s Secret Ultimate Wheel
  • The Crank-Flip is not Enough
  • Muni Another Day

I’ll leave it at that…

My favourites - so …unicycle-y.

Superman (if you want you can think of the supernatural powers it takes to ride a uni - I think of a bad form of UPD)
The Muni
Furiosa: A Mad4One Saga
Dial M for Muni
Pretty V-Frame (with Julia Roberts and Richard Geared. Ok, that’s just me and my silly love for a certain kind of uni frames)
The Unipacker’s Guide to the Galaxy
My Big Fatty Greek Wedding
All Quiet on the Seat in Front
Top Guni
Skinny and the Bandit

There are also interesting uni-related series:

Wheel Walk, Texas Ranger
NightRider (you know, with K.O.X.X., the talking car)
Muni, She Wrote (with Angela Flansberrium)
Prince of Nimbus Air

They should. If not, we would miss series like:
Braking Pad
How to get away with Muni
Saddles of Anarchy
The Big Bang UPD
Level 11 and the City
Flatland
The Schlumpfsons

Anyway, here are a couple for you film purists:
Crankodile Dundee
The GUnis

Thank you. Here are some more recommendations for us uni addicts:

Try Hard
Monty Python and the Holy Gazzaloddi (from a unicyclist‘s point of view, the performance of Eric Idle is to be highlighted, while Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones unfortunately were unable to hold a handle candle to Terry UniGeezer Peterson)
V for V-Frame (again!)
Eternal Sunshine of the Clipless Mind (you can of course replace Mind with Muni, if you are so inclined)
Gone with the Uni

19

Uni Trek - The next generation Guni
Uni Busters
Municycle vs Predator
Down by UPD (Down by law)
House of a thousand unicyclists
The Flat Tires (The Flatliners)
Uniphobia
Resident E-wheel
