As a master of punnery and bad jokes myself, I have to say that some of them are funny (black holes and Denis Coderre) and some are beyond groaner territory (Stéphane Dion being "tragically un-hip").

Still, it's pretty entertaining as far as party activities online go. The Liberals and Greens don't have podcasts that I can find. The Tories' podcast is nothing but stump speeches by Stephen Harper, and the NDP podcast hasn't been updated since 2005.
