Destiny Chukunyere Puns

I’m so pleased for Malta!

Destiny won X Factor Malta which means she is the artist selected! She formerly represented Malta in the Junior Eurovision. She appeared in the 2016 Eurovision as a guest. She also appeared in Britain’s Got Talent in 2017 but was eliminated during the Semi Final. If you don’t remember her, I’ve inserted her song that she won with back in 2015 down below

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Do your worst!

Thank you for your participation, the voting is now closed. To not made any redundant posts, I've included the qualifiers' list here and the next post will be the Grand Final voting:

^(Because we now have all the SF1 rehearsal snippets, I decided to resurrect the subreddit's Eurovision simulation, this time with the 2021 edition. I did it in 2019 and it was pretty successful, so I figured people would also want to take part this year)

^(First up Semi-Final 1.) ^(Please vote for 10 countries by listing your top 10 or assigning points the 12, 10, 8-1 style.

The 10 countries with most points will proceed to the Grand Final, just like they would in the real contest)

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

They’re on standbi

Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

I won't be doing that today!

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

You take away their little brooms

There hasn't been a post all year!

Where ever you left it 🤷‍♀️🤭

It was about a weak back.

Why

It’s pronounced “Noel.”

After all his first name is No-vac

What, then, is Chinese rap?

Edit:

Notable mentions from the comments:

• Spanish/Swedish/Swiss/Serbian hits

• French/Finnish art

• Country/Canadian rap

• Chinese/Country/Canadian rock

• Turkish/Tunisian/Taiwanese rap

Tagged as heavy for discussions of abuse allegations and racism.

So, in my previous post I commented a lot of the drama we had in March, but there was not enough space (or time) to get it all together in a single post, so here's the second part.

Here goes the usual glossary for people who are not up to speed on what Eurovision is:

• Eurovision: The Gay Olympics An international music contest in which most countries in Europe and some not in Europe take part.
• EBU: European Broadcasting Union, an international body made by many national broadcasters that organizes Eurovision and sets its rules.
• Juries: Panels of alleged music experts who vote, both in Eurovision and in national finals.
• Televote: Vote by the public, usually done by phone/SMS and in some cases by internet, both in Eurovision and in national finals.
• National final: A televised show in which a national broadcaster selects their representative, usually with vote by the public.
• Internal selection: When a national broadcaster doesn't hold a national final, an instead appoints an artist to represent them.

With a few exceptions here, the theme for this post will be BACKLASH AND PUSHBACK and overall kneejerk reactions against something. So let's just get started.

First of all, Uku Suviste represents Estonia with The Lucky One. There is no drama here, I just forgot about him in the other post.

Ukraine would need five years of backstory to properly understand why they chose the band Go_A last year so we're NOT doing that (that's gonna get its own post in the future), for now let's just know they chose them, and when the contest got cancelled they were chosen again and presented their song Shum. It's rather divisive (a lot of people, me included, find the white voice singing style too abrasive), but in general the reception was not bad. The video, showing pictures reminiscent of the Chernobyl disaster area and with people dancing in hazmat suits, was particularly praised.

A couple weeks after the song was released it surfaced a video from five years ago of a group of Ukrainian farmers dancing to that exact song. And not only the melody is the same, but (for what I can understand phonetically)

Nothing, it just waved

Him: I can explain everything!

(It's his best joke yet I think)

Just to clarify, 12345678

As the Eurovision week is rushing, I couldn't wait too long, so that's why the voting for the Grand Final is starting today. I hope we wil be able to pass the 100-voters mark, as we just missed the mark by 3 voters.

I basically made up a running order based on what we have and randomizing halves for the rest of the countries. The last three spots are basically and purely for chaos

Please vote for 10 countries by listing your top 10 or assigning points the 12, 10, 8-1 style. Votes with less than 10 countries or errors will not be counted (although I'll try my best to get them corrected).

There hasn't been a single post this year!

(Happy 2022 from New Zealand)
