There’s just something about nerdy puns that makes them so much better than your typical garden variety puns out there – which in my opinion are already pretty darn awesome in terms of humour potential.
It’s probably partly down to the fact that not everybody will understand the puns. Always more fun when jokes feel like they’re inside jokes.
There’s also the fact that taking a serious topic like the periodic table of elements (or anything else you’d study in science class), and using your knowledge of it to crack some pretty corny jokes makes it even more hilarious than using an already fun topic to make light of.
