Suitress Puns

I've been obsessed with anti-aging so long, that if my current career ambitions don't pan out (wind energy), I may resume college to study fields pertaining to anti-aging and its products.

If I could afford it, I'd have anti-aging products in my restroom. I wonder how a sweetheart / suitress would feel upon seeing that?

^(Mom told me that I've "always been behind" about how old I wanted to be. She claimed that when I was 13, I wanted to be 10.)

So a couple of months ago I was having a debate with u/WeDriftEternal on here who was pretty convinced a Shonda Rhimes series (or type of series) just wouldn't translate well to the streaming platform since her previous works relied so heavily on the weekly format. Well here we are now after the release of Shondaland's first Netflix original and I think the television producer and screenwriter's niche has transitioned quite well into streaming (though let's make it clear she's only a producer on this series).

Set in the competitive world of Regency era London, Bridgerton brings forth the soapy elements and emotional depth that Shonda Rhimes' productions are known for. It is not the most original of shows though, as it takes quite a bit from other works, not just period-dramas, and can be quite cliché or feel a bit familiar sometimes. In fact, its concept is basically a Regency era spin on Gossip Girl... but might I dare say, it works even better here in a society that's old-fashioned and fueled by rumors, gossip and keeping up appearances. Bridgerton portrays the naivety, stigmas and complications of such a society quite well, but its best moments comes in the form of romance. Simon and Daphne's pairing has everything a relationship drama should have. They have chemistry, there are stakes, there's passion, they have absolutely wonderful dialogue between them, and the whole thing is presented in a will-they-won't-they which the premise completely justifies. They are the heart of this series.

Shondaland uses the freedom of its network to its advantage delivering a level of explicitness the plot definitely needed, that you could not get on ABC. Its production is quite lavish too, love the color schemes of sets and costumes, and the light but brightly lit visuals and color-grading really compliments them well. Don't be mistaken into thinking Bridgerton is an all formal, no nonsense affair though. It is a romance period-drama, but it occasionally sways on the satire side the way it pokes fun at its setting. Orchestral renditions of Ariana Grande's 'Thank You Next', Billie Eilish's 'Bad Guy' and other modern pop songs were proof of that and came as fun surprises as well.

And before anyone says it.... because I know some users will feel the urge to come in the comments talkin' bout "bLaCks wErEn'T dUkEs iN tHe 1800s", let me clarify the series is completely fictional and doesn't care one bit for historical accuraci

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!

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!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

They’re on standbi

BamBOO!

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

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.

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!

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 🤷‍♀️🤭
