BAND-MAID NIPPON
(Jingle: Honkai)
00:16 Kobato: Welcome back home, masters and princesses. I’m Miku Kobato, the guitarist-vocalist of Band-Maid, po.
00:22 Saiki: I’m Saiki, the vocalist.
00:23 Kobato: You are now listening to BAND-MAID NIPPON by the hard rock band Band-Maid, po!
00:30 Saiki: Yes.
00:30 Kobato: Well, the year 2021 is finally about to end, po.
00:34 Saiki: It’s about to end. It’s already the end of the year.
00:36 Kobato: It’s the end of the year. Sai-chan, do you like this feel of the end of the year, po?
00:43 Saiki: What? Um, no, um, not in particular…
00:45 Kobato: You know, this atmosphere of the end of the year.
00:48 Saiki: (laughs) What should I say? Oh, there are a lot of music shows at the end of the year…
00:54 Kobato: Yeah, there are a lot of them, po.
00:55 Saiki: … so I’m happy…
00:57 Kobato: Certainly.
00:58 Saiki: … and comedy shows.
00:59 Kobato: That’s right, po. I, Kobato, record all the comedy shows.
01:04 Saiki: (laughs) I feel you.
01:05 Kobato: It feels like they often overlap…
01:08 Saiki: They do, they do.
01:08 Kobato: Like, “Oh, I want to watch this, but it’s the same time as this”…
01:11 Saiki: Yeah, exactly (laughs).
01:12 Kobato: … so all of them…
01:13 Saiki: Like, recording both of them.
01:14 Kobato: That’s right, po. You know, to the evening… from the morning to the evening, it looks like they will broadcast dramas at once such as Nigehaji [note: the most popular drama in 2016], but I, Kobato, don’t usually watch dramas…
01:29 Saiki: Right.
01:30 Kobato: Sai-
... keep reading on reddit ➡It’s so easy to shit on this man because of his obvious shortcomings, just like how it is ridiculously easy to shit on Carrie.
But looking back on their relationship, it’s truly the most realistic relationship portrayed on the show. And there is a lot of entertainment value and satisfaction watching them.
- they both have serious baggage from their exes and have trouble letting go
- they have stupid fights (like the damn scrunchie) but they made up in a funny and cute way
- they’re both so similar with their personalities and what they do for a living
- insecurity can get in the way of a relationship, which is what ultimately happened with Berger
- i’m sure every single one of us has felt red hot rage after being dumped and would love to have the opportunity Carrie did telling our exes friends how much of a piece of shit they really are.
I can definitely relate to their relationship on a lot more levels than any other relationship the girls have had
Just dashed off quick notes, and I don't feel like making them pretty, so you have been warned. Long, possibly snarky. My comments mostly in ()

Lame opening monologue where Ellen comes clean about lies she's told on her show - she doesn't have a daughter. She's not married to a man.
Fast forward more solo babbling with DJ - boring segment - more fast forwarding
"It's an entire hour with Meghan, Duchess of Susses" Who? No it's not, you're already 10 minutes in and to the first commercial break.
Our first guest is a mother of two who played Hot Girl #1 in some movie, she loves redheads... my friend.. oh, there she is.
Hug hug wave , audience cheering (why?? Are they liquored up? Out of Central Casting?)
Speaking of liquor, damn, I forgot to pour something out. Oh well, going out later, I'll have a marg or two to blot the memory out...
Allegedly the audience had no idea who the guest was. Barf.
Audition story that was in the promo.Her car story.
Wow, is Ellen's show always this lame? I've never watched it before.
Giggle giggle, I'd crawl over the seats. (Why are they clapping?? ) giggle giggle I'd pretend I was looking for something way back there giggle giggle
Meet-cute of E & M at a pet shop over a decade ago; E tells her which one to take home. E had no idea who she was (the same as now, Ellen : nobody.)
E: we're neighbors now - what does H love about California?
M: in lockdown being able to create our home, the lifestyle, the weather, blah blah blah - we're happy!
While dating, H, M, Eugenie & Jack snuck out in Toronto in Halloween costumes to a post-apocalytic themed party, and no one knew who they were - before they were announced as dating, so Oct 2016
This year for Halloween, saw E, kids were not into it (maybe because they are babies, duh) Archie was a 5 minute dinosaur, Lili was a skunk (like Flower from Bambi)
Lili now teething, so not sleeping well right now - yes, Ellen, dip a washcloth in tequila :D Oh, for the baby?
Archie loves Lili, blah blah blah
Up Next : Meghan tells about her scrunchie business - can't wait. Where is my tequila? Oh wait, no mixers. I can wait.
Later : M & E surprise a woman for reasons
We're back : Duchess of Sussex is hard to say (then don't!) giggle!
More background; scrunchies; Time magazine cover (ugh)
Important issue - paid family leave (thanks, millionaires!)
(Oh, shoot me now. :( Blah blah blah.... applause.
Another commercial? Already? Yay! :
... keep reading on reddit ➡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!
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
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!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
But that’s comparing apples to oranges
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
And boy are my arms legs.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
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.
Hello everyone. Here's the prelude chapter of the Oregairu Ketsu book. This is my first time attempting to translate a Japanese novel. I couldn't translate some of the stuff so there will be lots of things lost in translation but I tried my best to fit things together as my proficiency of the Japanese language is still not that well. A lot of the stuff is courtesy of Google Translate and various Japanese-English dictionaries.
There are definitely some lines I've butchered here so if you feel like it doesn't make sense at some point then I'm really really sorry for that. For the most part, I think it's quite fine but there seems to be some lines (especially Yui's monologues) which can sound quite confusing. Please enjoy.

Prelude
Even though the December wind is cold, I did not mind it as we were walking side by side.
The three of us were walking slowly, looking sideways at the glittering illuminations in front of the station.
I wished that today hadn’t ended.
But because Christmas is set to end on December 25th, no matter how fun it is, it is going to end anyway.
The party has ended, and it is now time to go home.
As nightfall came, the number of people decreased. The city that was so full of Christmas colors will soon change its appearance like a quick change of clothes.
At the nearby shopping malls, people in work clothes rushed around and started cleaning up displays, signs, and banners.
The Christmas sale will be a year-end sale, the green trees will be replaced by green Kadomatsus, the white snowman will be replaced by a white New Year rice cakes, and the Santas will be replaced by grandpas who don’t even know the name of the Seven Gods of Fortune.
When you start comparing them to one another, it's kind of weird to think that these things are quite similar, yet they are completely different.
The large park we were passing on our way was unobstructed, so the cold wind blew through.
The benches here and there were full of couples who were putting their faces so close to each other and whispering in small voices as if they were talking about secrets.
I’m sure those people couldn’t see their surroundings at all and other people around them probably didn’t mind them either, but the streetlights next to the benches illuminate them like a spotlight, so I can see them clearly.
I thought it was strangely awkward, so I intentionally stretched out a little, forcibly turned away, and muttered to the sky as if I were talking to

When I was 13 I started dating a guy who was a year older then me. He was a big guy and was very intimidating, he looked like a grown man (which comes into play later.) When we first started dating everything was perfect. He was super sweet and caring. But he started to manipulate me and introduced me to more sexual things. At first I was ok with it and started flirting back, but it eventually got to a point where I was extremely uncomfortable.
He would force me to do things like masturbate in front of him and FaceTime him and do “shows” for him so he could get off. I was basically becoming his personal porn star at the age of 13. The relationship was more sexual than it was romantic.
He would also force me to give him head and I became so accustomed to it that I basically just stopped fighting back, and when I did decide to willingly give him head it was because I felt obligated to and because HE wanted me to. I said no when I was feeling bold but he would do it anyways and when I didn’t say no he would beg me over and over until I said yes. When I first gave him head he said he was “so proud of me” even though I was on the verge of tears and had insisted over and over again that I didn’t want it.
One vivid memory I have was when he stripped me completely naked on his bed and forced me to look at him even though I was shaking and curled up in a ball. He proceeded to tell me how beautiful I was and even though I told him I didn’t want to be fully naked and that I wasn’t ready for that he proceeded to strip me anyways.
It got so bad that I would have panic attacks when I would be over at his house. And I let him comfort me. Stupid. I know. Even when his mom said we weren’t allowed in his room anymore he would still grope me on the couch and forcibly pull my pants down to touch me.
Why did I put up with this for so long? Well I was young and he was extremely manipulative. And also he would hit me sometimes.
Like once I tied his hair in a ponytail with my scrunchie and took a picture of him. After I refused to delete it because it was a funny joke and nothing serious, he proceeded to kneel on top of me and smacked the shit out of me, because he was so worried about his masculinity.
This is all I can really remember about it but there’s so much more that I just shoved down thinking that what he did to me was love. But I have a

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.

When I got home, they were still there.
