Write a story for a select audience, then throw in puns.
Instead the authors seemed to have some puns aimed at varying audiences and tried to write a story using as many as possible.
There was a fairly decent plot, but too much time was spent being punny and not enough developing interesting characters. It's simply too busy and uneveny paced.
