   OMG.  I just started watching a compilation of Rocky Bullwinkle     
   that was offered on YT.  I remember many of the animations and     
   intros of the various shows: Mr Peabody, Aesop and Son, etc..     
   But I have to say that I do NOT remember any of the puns. At my     
   age back then I don't even think I knew what a pun was.   
      
   The episodes are loaded with puns!  I'm laughing pretty hard -     
   mostly because their actually pretty good, and partly because I     
   missed those back then!   
      
   I'm watching one collection that involves a giant trunk, the     
   treasure of Monte Zooma. In it is some great treasure. Turns out     
   to be a car, but Boris thinks it's solid gold because the     
   license plate says "14-K".   Anyway.. the plot ensues, and the     
   next episode introduces Boris as The Laughing Latvian.  (That's     
   pretty cool, 'cuz I'm Latvian!)   
      
   In another episode Rocky and Bullwinkle end up in a silly play     
   of words, and the narrator says "stop your persistant     
   persiflage".  I'm thinking there is NO WAY that a kid would get     
   that word.   
      
   Anyway.. this shit is pretty good with the puns!  :D
