@PizzaHut's use of Homophones: Hilarious? or Corny? | @GrammarNet

on
Pizza Hut uses a homophone to attract workers (who incidentally probably don't even TOUCH the word's FIRST meaning as they seek to bring in PLENTY of the second meaning).

I'll show you the 'punning' beneath the subscribe-bar. But I feel it's more important to understand that word (below linked to Pizza Hut's job-opportunities) better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...
The word “Dough” is built on ancient words that mean "to Form, |Build" (the meaning "Money" ... they say it's related to the word 'Bread,' but it might be another pun related to another ancient base's meaning, "something Kneaded" ('Needed,' hee-hee-hee)---my source's 'Bread'-entry mentions the meaning "one's |Livelihood," used in the word |Breadwinner (possibly from the famous prayer-phrase "Give us this day our daily Bread")).
