Here's a 3-minute stand-up comedy routine that isn't based on puns:

You know what really grinds my gears? Adulthood. I mean, when we were kids, we couldn't wait to grow up. We thought it would be all about staying up late, eating ice cream for breakfast, and doing whatever we wanted. Boy, were we wrong!

First of all, staying up late? Sure, you can do that, but you'll pay for it the next day. You'll be dragging yourself around like a zombie, trying to function on three hours of sleep because you just had to binge-watch that new series on Netflix. And let's not even talk about the dark circles under your eyes that make you look like you've gone a few rounds with Mike Tyson.

And eating ice cream for breakfast? Yeah, you can do that too, but your waistline and your doctor will have something to say about it. Suddenly, you're counting calories and worrying about your cholesterol levels. You find yourself saying things like, "I really shouldn't" and "Maybe just a small scoop." What happened to the carefree days of stuffing your face with sugary goodness?

But the worst part about adulthood? Responsibility. Remember when you couldn't wait to make your own decisions? Well, now you have to deal with the consequences of those decisions. You have to pay bills, go to work, and deal with the never-ending pile of laundry that seems to multiply overnight. And don't even get me started on taxes. Every year, it's like a test to see how much of your hard-earned money you can give to the government.

But despite all the drawbacks, there is one good thing about being an adult: you can buy your own toys. Sure, they might be expensive gadgets or fancy cars instead of action figures and dolls, but still, it's nice to have the freedom to treat yourself. Just don't forget to budget for those bills and taxes, or you'll be eating ice cream for breakfast and dinner.

So, the next time you find yourself longing for the carefree days of childhood, just remember: being an adult may not be all it's cracked up to be, but at least you can buy your own toys and stay up as late as you want. Just don't forget to set your alarm for work the next morning.

Alright, good evening everybody! How are we all doing tonight? Yeah? Yeah? nobody's gonna say 'bad'? Ok, fair enough.

You know, I was walking down the street the other day, and I saw this sign outside a shop that said, "Wet Paint." I thought, "Well, that's weird. Isn't paint supposed to be wet? When's the last time you saw a bucket of dry paint? That's like saying 'Wet Water' or 'Hot Coffee' – oh, wait, they do say that last one. Never mind.

And what's the deal with self-checkout machines? They always tell you, "Unexpected item in bagging area." Really? It's a bag of chips, not a flamingo doing the tango! And why is it always an "unexpected" item? You know what would be an unexpected item? If I scanned a live bear through there. "Oh, hey, just picking up a loaf of bread, some milk, and THIS GUY!"

You ever notice how people get real testy about their favorite coffee places? "Oh, you go to Starbucks? You monster! You know they burn their beans, right?" Yeah, well, you drink tea, so you're basically a serial killer. And why is decaf even a thing? People who drink decaf are like vegetarians at a steakhouse – sure, you can have a seat, but why are you even here?

And speaking of coffee shops, what's with the sizes? Small, medium, large – that's simple, right? But no, we've got "tall," "grande," "venti"... I stand in line, and I'm like, "Uh, yeah, can I get a... medium-ish? Just whatever comes between 'not enough' and 'that's too much, are you crazy?'"

You know who I feel bad for? Meteorologists. They're the only people who can be wrong 90% of the time and still keep their jobs. "There's a 50% chance of rain tomorrow." Yeah, and there's a 50% chance I'm gonna wear pants tomorrow, but you don't see me on the news talking about it!

Alright, that's my time. You've been a great audience! Remember to tip your waitresses, try the veal, and... nah, I can't even say that with a straight face. Goodnight, everybody!
