Examples:
Bray calls himself the "eater of worlds" which is what the main antagonist, Pennywise the Clown, refers to himself as in King's 1986 novel, IT.
Bray refers to his finisher as Sister Abigail and uses a rocking chair in his promos and entrance. There was a character named Mother Abigail in King's epic, The Stand, that was known to sit on her porch in her rocking chair.
Any other Stephen King/Wrestling fans notice stuff that I am missing?
After finishing The Martian I tried Fear The Sky also narrated by R.C Bray. Excellent story and reading, great sci fi. I hear the second book will be released in July. Anyone else hyped or enjoy this series?
Reading/listening to audiobooks has been a great way to pass time and an even better way to fall asleep.
But not all narrators make the books as good as they deserve. Almost like a director not making a movie good enough.
When I started to listen to audiobooks I didn’t know this and it was not until I stumbled upon Ray Porter I realised the importants of a good narrator.
After listening to Ray Porter I actually ended up searching for books he had narrated instead of good book suggestions. Luckily too as I found one of the best series I know, The Bobiverse.
Another good narrator I just discovered is T. Ryder Smith, but I’m also interested to see what other narrators people have grown fond of. Especially if you also have listened to some works of Ray Porter.
Who is your favourite narrator?
As some of you may have noticed I created a poll to gauge what audio book player people prefer.
So far there have been over 250 votes and an active discussion. I'll post the summary results soon, once a few more have had a chance to vote.
If you wish to the link for that poll is
Which Audiobook Player(s) Do you use?
Meanwhile, I thought it would be interesting to run some polls on Audiobook Narrators
Obviously there are so many potential names so I'm thinking to divide
Fiction
Non-Fiction
Narrating own books
If we can come up with a short list of say 20 favoured narrators, I'll set up a poll and we can see who people really like.
To get a candidate on the short list I'll ask for people to be nominated and then see if anyone will second that choice.
Re Fiction
To start things off I'll nominate a couple of narrators who commonly crop up
Stephen Fry
R.C. Bray
Over to you guys for additional nominations / secondings.
Every avid audiobook listener has a favorite narrator. Mine is R.C. Bray, who is yours?
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.
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!

... keep reading on reddit ➡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
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
A play on words.
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
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.
Personally, my favourite is Nick Podehl
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
When I got home, they were still there.
I won't be doing that today!
Hindus, on the other hand, never had any beef.
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.
Where ever you left it 🤷♀️🤭
There hasn't been a post all year!
