Having an abundance of platonic relationships reminiscent of my man, Mike Plato.

Hmmm, that sounds brutal and horrible... but at the same time, so comical, it's hard not to smile.

Kind of like that Korean guy in a wheel chair ramming an elevator he just missed only to fall through and die >.<.

I just hate shitty puns. A well executed pun should be considered a work of art.

This was a good pun, slight enough to be missed but just prominent to be spotted by most. The sentence also makes sense even if you don't see the pun; The article is tragic, but comedic in a macabre sort of a way.
