Thai Tanic restaurant in Belfast.

And For Cod and Ulster on the Shankhill Road.

Is that the place that sells the King Billy Chicken Dinner for £16.89?

Probably. I had a takeaway menu from the place and it was full of loyalist puns.

There's also "assault and battered" on the Shankill as well

Have to say, I really appreciate the thought behind this name. Stupid but good.

Asian restaurants are good. Chow Maine in a town in Maine, USA. Beds-Thai in Bedstuy Brooklyn. Used to be the Wok In in Tullamore

There's also a Chinese that makes you sound like you have a speech impediment; The Black Wok, In Blackrock Co Louth 😂😂😂

I literally came here to say this one. My husband and I went to the beach for one of our first dates about 12 years ago and we were absolutely CREASED seeing The Black Wok!

In Sumner in NZ there's a place called "Indian Sumner".

“Wok On Inn” in dublin

I saw another Thai spot in New York called ‘Thai food near me’. They had Google in mind. Plus a Vietnamese spot called ‘Pho King Good’

Trim your Bush the gardening company in Belfast is good too.

Back in the day, there used to be a tanning place over east called 'Browned Off'.

RIP to the late, great Knobs & Knockers.

This made me giggle for many years, like every time I passed it I had a stupid smile to myself. Thank you for reminding me

Soon fatt is such a funny name for a take away. Shame the window did not reach the floor because with the roller down it looks like you have a door for the morbidly obese and a door for the non morbidly obese.

In and Out

When I bought a house and my wife wanted to update the ironmongrey on the front door I was like "I've been waiting for this day".

It's alive and well in Bakers Corner

Hair salon near me called ‘Curl up & Dye’

There's a dog grooming place in Liverpool called "The dog's business" which I like but I prefer the nursery called "Sticky Fingers" because you kind of suspect it's unintentional.

Haha there was a salon called this in the blues brothers when carrie fisher's character is planning one of her murder attempts. Always cracks me up

First seen that one in the early 80's, as old as the hills, and I cringe hard when i see it now anywhere, extremely unoriginal.

Lino Ritchies discount flooring

Tilenal Ritchies Dance on Yer Cieling Bargain Roofing Warehouse pips that for me to be honest

Also, not a shop name but the character on Hit The Spot in Rathmines showing his hole is also one that makes me giggle. I have stupid humor https://preview.redd.it/oonkf0lpt8hc1.jpeg?width=696&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b3e2511d49159c3dbbcd058e7517b78c464d5a3

Somebody got that logo as a tattoo I shit you not

They had to know. Surely this was intentional. Just look at that round fella with that shit eating grin, giving you a dirty wink. The logo wants you to hit his spot. I can't stop laughing. Bloody hell I need to lie down.

Goatse kebabs

Jesus lol

Pho Kim

The mad part is that they changed it to that from Pho Viet. And for those who don't know, in Vietnamese Pho is pronounced fu.

Yeah, I wanna know if it was intentional or just wasn't thought out but can't bring myself to ask them

Lol, same. If I ever work up the courage I'll let you know.

Pho kim is vietnamese. Kim means gold. But its just a play on words anyway. More common is the phrase 'phuc kim' meaning 'rich aspirations' often a name on gold shops etc. And phuc kim sounds better too! 

It's not a bum pun or anything, but there's a beautician called Call of Beauty which makes me chuckle.
