Friday: Puns, Puns, Everywhere! - 1 November 2024 New York Times Crossword

[@abeysai-yt]

I loved the "Golden retriever.." clue as well. I did today's in 19:30 so quite proud of it.

[@TomCee53]

I was largely confused by this one, but I did start around midnight, so I thought I’d wait for Chris.

[@comfyqt]

me and my frends always do these the night they come out and when we cant finish them we always say "gotta wait for chris" loll

[@MK-ce7ry]

7 day streak for me! And a pretty reasonable time - loved 25 across

[@SethWilson]

I struggled with the NW corner too, but once I got going it flowed similarly smoothly for me. Fun one!

Hearing 'Phaedrus' come out of Chris Remo's mouth in 2024 activated a sleeper cell inside my brain

[@tomaterr20]

phaedrus what are you doing in thr NYT crossword puzzle

[@domojestic4155]

Could you explain what's interesting about the reference? All I found on a quick online search was something regarding Plato, but nothing specific.

[@tomaterr20]

@@domojestic4155 Phaedrus was a long running bit on the Idle Thumbs video game podcast series, first appearing on the GDC 2010 episode titled 'GDC 2010: Phaedrus 2010' due to Will Wright's talk that year which listed the speaker as Phaedrus originally. Phaedrus later returned with the 'thisisphaedrus' youtube channel, which put out two videos. It's not really that funny, and you can probably tell now why it wasn't explained, but now you know. Phaedrus out

[@untexan]

Absolutely crushed this one. It took me less than half as long as the Thursday. I don’t know, this one hit me right. The golden retriever clue was a stroke of genius.

[@JeremyTMoody]

That clue gave me mixed emotions. I figured it out immediately without crosses, but I couldn't remember his last name

[@TheJameslehr]

And I happen to know the name of Caligula's horse that he attempted to make a senator or consul. It would be Incitatus.

[@avanjou]

This one killed me, even worse than yesterday. It's fun to see how fast it can be solved by a better puzzler.

[@CpnRad]

i really struggled with this one but it has been a long day

[@timegentleman]

"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is the book and the Johnny Depp film, "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" is the Gene Wilder film.

[@ChrisRemo]

Whoops! That was my first thought, then I erroneously struck that and reversed it.

[@mcdonawa]

Yesterday we got "shoppe" and today we get "olde" ...if we don't get "Ye" tomorrow I"ll be slightly disappointed.

[@SethWilson]

I’ve never seen “Life of Pi” either but I’ve read the book and it’s wonderful.

[@__dane__]

Was at a complete loss with this one

[@BernardtheGhost]

V quick Friday.

[@glennc100]

Pretty sure Chris Remo is a AI construct...prove to me this guy is flesh and blood!

[@stevenprice8253]

Watch him react to unexplained computer balloons and you'll know he's human

[@mjs8780]

Obliterated my Friday PB. This was a sub-11 minute puzzle.

[@shamabole7803]

What are oval tracks?

[@untexan]

Athletics tracks aren’t perfect ovals, but some car racing tracks are ovals or “tri-ovals”
