How could i translate this idiom in French, in the following context :
"Enter Hogs Of War, in a barrage of risible and unforgivable puns chiefly revolving around the words 'bacon' and 'ham'."

Thanks in advance

Explanation:
Le sous-titre de ce jeu étant "Les Cochons de Guerre", on pourrait se permettre d'insérer un jeu de mots à l'intérieur de cette phrase.

Je remanierai la phrase en parlant d'un humour fermier, où les jeux de mots délirants entre "lard" et "cochon" fusent.

Ca me paraît bien, surtout que le texte est bourré de jeux de mots dans ce style.
