Not a real pun: 'Venn shall we three meet again' doesn't make sense on its own. The essence of a pun is something that works on two (or more) levels, and this only works on one. Try again.
It doesn't have two levels, because 'Venn will we three meet again' isn't a line from Shakespeare.
'Super Cally Go Ballistic, Celtic are Atrocious' has two levels because it makes sense as a headline as well as sounding like something else. 'Venn will we three meet again' doesn't make sense; it's not even grammatical.

It's a pun, so mixing up Venn and when is completely alowed, and is the point of it :)
