Is "really real" a pun?

No, it's not a pun! But I can see why you think it could be. "Really" is just used for emphasis here. But the repetition of "R" at the beginning of the words can be described as the literary device "alliteration," where the same letter is at the beginning of multiple words. And it ends up sounding quite fun and poetic. Ex: Bob's banging burgers. Best bite I've ever had. => banging = amazing Ex: All of Alice's apples are added to the basket. Ex: They're really strange.
