Several puns involve the homophones “cereal” and “serial.” A joke was posted on the website Pun of the Day on November 16, 2017:
“Eating breakfast in front of the TV at the same time every day turns the meal into a serial.”

cereal, serial
The words cereal, serial sound the same but have different meanings and spellings. Why do cereal, serial sound the same even though they are completely different words?
The answer is simple: cereal, serial are homophones of the English language.
