It is the quality of containing a play on words or pun. Often when faced with someone saying something like "I would like to report on the party where everyone was taking extasy but I wouldn't want to give a rave review." another person will say "Very punny".

So, a condemned man gets a reprieve from hanging, and he says "No noose is good news." Ho ho. It's good because it makes new sense using the wrong word.
