3-Minute Stand-Up Comedy Routine (No Puns!)

Eric's Stage Entrance:
(Wearing a jersey-sweatshirt combo while clutching a cup of instant coffee)

Opening:
Alright, admit it—ever tried talking to tech support in Hindi? I did, once. The woman on the line asked, "What's the issue, sir?" I said, "The line is delayed, like a stalker of my call waiting." She said, "Mr. Burrows, hold while I transfer you…" and then conjugated every form of the verb "wait" in Hindi. I was still waiting when I sold my router on eBay.

Dating Apps:
Speaking of waiting, dates now start on apps where, "We found you!" like we're shoppers at a lost dog shelter. And honestly, relax. No entitlement to happiness through an algorithm. But then DMs hit… "Greetings, my name is Ronaldo. Passport, job, Tinder premium." Not even a "Hi, how're you?"—starts with his résumé. Talk about overqualified.

Parenting Moment:
Kids are philosophers now. My niece asked me once, "Why do grown-ups say 'Put that down,' but then say 'Look at this magazine?'" And I was like, "Ah, adult hypocrisy is complicated." She responded, "Oh, so it's okay if I copy Dad's TikTok swiping?" Uh-oh, frickin' Nietzsche in a dinosaur onesie.

Post-Workout Hustle:
Ever seen the new "plank squad" at your gym? These are people who do planks so hard they forget to lift their faces… and accidentally their dry-erase boards read, "Meet the Joneses—Zoom backdrop only." Meanwhile, some plank in sweatsuits go drive-thru, order coffee, and bark, "I'll take a 32 oz Almighty Latte… and a quarter of a kale salad as a 'therapeutic exchange,' thanks!"

Grocery Horror:
Self-checkouts are the new therapists. You do this inventory: "Was this taxed? Does the receipt deserve a trophy? Do I feel accomplished?" And then some Karen's like, "Oh no, it won't scan! Maybe… pray to the iPhone gods?" Suddenly, you're narrating the bagging process like a 90s MTV vlogger: "Okay, let's nestle the constrictions—uh, cucumbers—gently in the basket. Let me just add drama to my leftovers."

Dining Delight:
Restaurants now train waiters to yell, "Who's with this lookin'-like-a-corpse patient?! Suppaaa, losers! Time to share tables!" So you're sipping your $12 kale smoothie next to someone whose meatloaf got a restraining order. I bet 90% of conversations start, "Welp, our life choices led us here." Dinner now feels like a support group for people who hate napkins.

Closing with a Callback:
And the kicker? Just came back from my parent's Thanksgiving—Mom's like, "Why're you here, Eric? The mailman had issues with my candles." Dad? Mute in a headset, screaming at a chat monitor screen. I popped in, said, "Relax, you've survived Christmas on diet meds before." Dad: "Wait, we did the drugs?" Mom: "You're grounded, Eric." (Pause) Okay, thanks, everybody. If you liked it… keep it open. If not… plank it.

(Emergency water chug and exit while holding a crumpled receipt like a trophy.)

This routine cycles through relatable scenarios, uses character-driven humor, and leans on absurd situations to land laughs withoutwordplay. Timing and facial expressions during the parentheticals would add extra punch!

(Stands at the mic, looks around nervously)

Alright, how's everyone doing? Good, good.

You know, I feel like we're living in a world where everything is designed to be "more convenient," but it's really just more work for us. We're being tricked into doing all the jobs.

My main enemy right now is the self-checkout machine at the grocery store. You k now the one. It's not a mach ine, it's a passive-aggressive robot judge. It has one job: to weigh things. And it is TERRIBLE at it.
The other day, I'm buying a single bag of salad. That's it. I'm trying to be hea lthy, which is already a str essful situation. I scan the bag. The machine says, (in a chipper, robotic voic e) "Please place the item in the bagging area."

Okay, easy enough. I place the bag of lettuce, which weighs less than my conscie nce, into the plastic bag.

And the machine just loses its mind. The light starts flashing, a siren I've nev er heard before goes off. ( In a panicked robot voice) "UNEXPECTED ITEM IN THE BAGGING AREA. PLEASE REMOVE THIS ITEM."
What unexpected item?! The bag? The bag I'm putting the item into? In the bag ging area? What did you thi nk was going to happen here, you glorified scale? Did you expect me to just levi tate my groceries home?
So I take the salad out. The machine goes quiet. I put it back in. The siren goe s off again. We do this danc e three times. Me, the salad, and this deeply confused robot. People are startin g to stare. I look like I'm trying to shoplift the saddest thing in the entire s tore.
Finally, the dreaded message comes up: "Please wait for assistance." And the lig ht on top starts flashing. I t's the retail walk of shame.

And this teenager, who has the energy of someone who's been awake for 72 hours, just saunters over. He 't even look at me. He just sighs, types in a secret code like he's defusing a b omb, hits the screen three times, and walks away.

He fixed it. And I'm left standing there, thinking… what was the code? What's th e secret? Was it 1-2-3-4? Wa s it "lettuce"? I need to know! Because this is my life now. I'm a part-time, un paid, deeply incompetent grocery clerk.

And my phone is no better. It's definitely listening to me. But it's a terrible listener. It's like it only picks up every third word. I was talking to my friend about needing a new lamp f or my desk. A lamp. For the next three weeks, all my Instagram ads were for… bab y lambs. Live ones.
Where am I gonna put a lamb? I don't have a yard! I guess I could try to put it in the bagging area at the s upermarket, but I think we all know how that would end.

Thank you, goodnight
