      Stör (fish) = sturgeon

      stören (verb) = to disturb.

      Combine Stör with many stupid things and you get some german jokes which are so bad that they are funny again.

      The fish sturgeon is called “Stör” in German. The verb “to annoy” means “stören”.

      Most of these memes that were posted recently are puns where random German words that contain “stör” or a simmilar sounding syllable is replaced by the fish.

        Thank you for this. I’m discovering puns to be really hard to pick up on with only a rudimentary understanding of a language.
