ROFL.

I don't get these.

The first one: I totally can undertand about the Lost and Space thing. So where did the "in" come from, to form Lost in Space? Unless you're gna tell me I'm "lost" in the SPLOASTCE word.

The second one: How come the two NA's aren't beside the salad? It might have made more sense that way and can be read as Two Na Salad (aka Tuna Salad). And a line between the two NAs and Salad totally implies the two NA's divided by Salad. |: .

The third one: Perfectly fine. :x.

Am I taking the puns waaaay too srsly? :|

The word "lost" is IN the word "space". Hence, "Lost in Space".
The second one: How come the two NA's aren't beside the salad?
Because then there wouldn't be a puzzle.

I'll say. These things are definitely not meant to be taken seriously. They're just some fun little brain twisters! :D

Oh I've seen some of those before. It's related to enhancing our 'thinking out of the box' skill or whatever. Even though they're sometimes lame I must say they're mostly well designed.

They're called Rebus Puzzles.

They're so fun! My math teacher gave us worksheets during free time.
:P

Wow thanks for the link! Now I recall some people actually incorporate Pokemon into it.
Eg. I like her (picture of Charmander) smile or I took a (image of Pikachu)
Spoiler:
*off-topic, but*
There was one with a picture of Agumon. And it says "This is Blue Eyes White Dragon, He's My Favourite Pokemon."
LOL! Image

No, they're not even puns at all.

Puns are a play on words.

These are puzzles. :P
