Ai Ep. 32: I Want to Pursue It!
Ai was trying to break some new ground with her puns to please her Ai Pals, but it seems something has dawned on her.
Ai
Hey, hey. Listen.
Player
What's up?
Ai
Talking to you helped me sort things out for myself.
Ai
I'm all about the pursuit of making people laugh!
Ai
The other day I said I was going to break into new pun territory, but I figured if something makes you laugh then maybe it doesn't have to be a pun.
Player
If it doesn't have to be a pun… Do you mean it could be something like a comedy duo, a skit, or stand-up comedy?
Ai
Yep, that's right. I thought to myself, as long as it makes people laugh, maybe I can try all kinds of things!
Player
You really do think about your fans a lot, huh?
Ai
Well the Ai Pals always think of me too!
Ai
I just want to return the sentiment!
Ai
So, join me for my comedy research!
| Option 1: “Of course.” |
|---|
| Player Of course! What do you want to start with? Ai I rented this DVD, so let's start the research by watching it! |
| Option 2: “Can I really be of any help?” |
| Player Can I really be of any help? Ai I trust in your sense of humor! Come on! I rented a DVD, so let's watch it! |

Ai
Bahahahaha! Ahhh, that was hilarious.
Player
I laughed so hard my stomach hurts.
Ai
There's so much freedom in stand-up comedy. I wonder what I should do.
Mia
Come ooon. I can hear you guys laughing all the way down the hallway. What are you doing?
Rina
Something fun?
Player
Oh! Hey, Mia and Rina. Welcome back.
Ai
Sorry, my bad! We were doing some research on comedy. You guys should check it out too!
[Fade in/out.]
Rina
This is funny stuff. Rina-chan Board says, “Haha.”
Mia
I've never seen anything like this before. So this is what Japanese stand-up comedy is like. It's a lot different from what we have in the States.
Player
Do they have stand-up comedy in America too?
Mia
Yes. It mostly deals with irony and sarcasm.
Ai
How interesting! Tell me more, Mia-chi.
Ai
Or, how about this? Why don't we try it ourselves?! Rinari, try it with us!
Ai
Let's do a three-person stand-up show!
