Never forget that Tuvok’s reaction to being trapped in a years-long starless void was to make terrible puns.
Who says Vulcans don’t have a sense of humor?
Tuvok’s bone dry sass gives me life. Like, sure Spock’s sass was more overt, and T’Pol could out-sass everyone with just a look, but with Tuvok, you get the feeling his bad puns and veiled sarcasm are the Vulcan equivalent of dad-jokes. At home, his kids would be completely unimpressed at his humor, but on Voyager, he can be HILARIOUS all he wants, and most everyone misses the joke, and I think he likes it like that.
