When they speak on the phone, the friend jokes about controlling crowds of protesters ("Anywhere out of sight, we beat them up"), and the tone is neither horrified nor menacing but simply high-spirited, as if two old pals were recalling student japes.

He has hoisted a gutted cod in a fish market in the port town of Grimsby, weighed boxes of tea bags at a Tetley Tea factory in Eaglescliffe, in the northeast, and mopped a floor in the flood-damaged Derbyshire town of Matlock — drawing japes for his janitorial skills but grudging affection for the effort.

Simon Gray employs the colloquial slang term in your face to describe contemporary theatre dialogue in his play Japes, which premiered in London, in early February 2001.See Lizzie Loveridge, Review of Japes, CurtainUp, 8 February 2001. In the play, Michael Cartts, a middle-aged author, rages against a new kind of writing that he describes as "in your face". After watching a new play by a young playwright, Cartts describes the stage characters as follows: Appropriating the slang British spelling used by the band In Yer Face, extending the theatrical contexts exposed in Gray's play Japes, and, as the OED observes, employing the more-frequently-hyphenated adjectival form, Sierz used in yer face in his category "in-yer-face theatre" as defined in his book of that title.

He appeared once more in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, this time being joined by his sidekick Diddy Kong and three stages – "Jungle Japes" from Melee, "Rumble Falls" from Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, and "75m" from the original Donkey Kong game from 1981. Both Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong returned to the series in Super Smash Bros.

Both Ubu Cocu and Ubu Roi have a convoluted history, going through decades of rewriting and, in the case of the former, never arriving, despite Jarry's exertions, at a definitive version.The third play was the only one wholly written by the adult Jarry. By the time Jarry wanted Ubu Roi published and staged, the Morins had lost their interest in schoolboy japes, and Henri gave Jarry permission to do whatever he wanted with them. Charles, however, later tried to claim credit, but it had never been a secret that he had had some involvement with the earliest version.

Cuttlefish.) Several series have had a recurring task spanning every episode, often involving the use of a joker card to respond to a question whose answer fit a specified theme. Examples include "The Elephant in the Room" (series E, elephants), "Nobody Knows" (Series I, for questions without a known answer) and "Spend a Penny" (Series L, lavatories). In addition to assigning tasks, Fry performed scientific experiments or demonstrations during certain episodes. He often did so once an episode in the J, K and L series, where they were called "Jolly Japes", "Knick-Knakes" and "Lab Larks", respectively, and usually occurred towards the end of the episode.

One of the primary entertainments of adult men is a kind of whip- dance in which a man with a whip puts a troupe of half-naked boys through a series of japes and stunts, typically striking paper targets affixed to the boys' buttocks. In Darsh taverns a form of juke box projecting holographs of these entertainments is available for customers. A popular sport is hadaul, a kind of mass wrestling match with few rules, in which the objective is to be the last contestant in a playing field of three concentric rings. A competitor who has been removed from one of the inner rings may not re-enter it; one who has been forced out the outermost is eliminated from play.

In addition, Tolstoy permitted himself some japes when addressing members of the crew that he did not like: for example, once he intoxicated the priest accompanying the Neva, and when the latter lay dead drunk on the floor, Tolstoy stuck his beard to the deck boards with sealing wax. When the priest came to, he was obliged to cut off his beard to free himself. On another occasion, when Krusenstern was gone from his cabin, Tolstoy sneaked into his cabin with a ship's pet, an orangutan that Tolstoy had bought while the ship was moored on an island in the Pacific Ocean. He took Krusenstern's logbook, put a blank sheet of paper on top and began to show the ape how to cover the paper with ink.

This isn't necessarily a dealbreaker." Benjamin Boles of Now stated that "the novelty disco elements are balanced by enough rock-solid grooves that the cheesier moments don't stink up the whole thing." The Guardians Lanre Bakare observed that "there are more sophisticated elements at play" on the album, but felt that "[t]he comedy lyrics and tongue-in-cheek delivery mask the fact that behind the japes there are some brilliant songwriting chops." In a negative review, Leonie Cooper of NME found the album to be "so dripping with awkward, wink-wink irony that it's utterly impossible to appreciate the Hall & Oates style synth pop that underpins the yacht rocking groove of 'Old 45s'", and concluded, "Even a run of solid guest stars [...] can't pump any passion into this flaccid cringe-fest.

In the order of The Canterbury Tales, the Pardoner's Prologue and Tale are preceded by The Physician's Tale. The Physician's Tale is a harrowing tale about a judge who plots with a "churl [low fellow]" to abduct a beautiful young woman; rather than allow her to be raped, her father beheads her. The invitation for the Pardoner to tell a tale comes after the Host declares his dissatisfaction with the depressing tale, and declares: :… but [unless] I have triacle [medicine], :Or elles a draughte of moyste [fresh] and corny [strong] ale, :Or but I heere anon a myrie tale, :Myn herte is lost for pitee of this mayde. (lines 314–17) The Host then asks the Pardoner to "telle us som myrthe or japes [joke, jest] right anon".

In this interpretation, the poet could have travelled with Wingfield and Chief Justice Shareshull to Chester for a judicial enquiry, or eyre, recorded in 1353; the poem would have been a suitable entertainment for the banquet held by the Prince at Chester Castle for local administrators.Turville-Petre, T. 'Wynner and Wastoure: When and Where?' in Houwen & McDonald (eds), Loyal Letters: Studies on Mediaeval Alliterative Poetry & Prose, John Benjamins, 1994, pp. 164-6 The author laments at the start of Wynnere and Wastoure that poetic standards and appreciation have degenerated alongside society; where once lords gave a place to skilled "makers of myrthes" (21), the serious poets have been supplanted by beardless youths who "japes telle" (26), having "neuer wroghte thurgh witt three wordes togidere" (25). This complaint could indicate a certain conservatism on the poet's part, though it could also be merely conventional, as similar passages are quite common.

The Five inspired the Comic Strip parody Five Go Mad in Dorset and its sequel Five Go Mad on Mescalin, in which the characters express sympathies with Nazi Germany and opposition to the Welfare State, homosexuals, immigrants and Jews, in an extremely broad parody not so much of Blyton but of wider perceived 1950s prejudices.Milmo, Cahill "Back for more jolly japes: the return of the Famous Five" The Independent, 5 December 2006 The parodies were deliberately set towards the end of the original Famous Five "era" (1942–63) so as to make the point that the books were already becoming outmoded while they were still being written. Both parodies made use of Famous Five set pieces, such as the surrender of the criminals at the end when Julian states "We're the Famous Five!", the arrival of the police just in the nick of time, and the appeal for "some of your home-made ices" at a village shop.

" In reflecting further on the chemistry of the band, Fred Schruers from Billboard Magazine wrote in another review: "When the band took off on disciplined-if-deeply committed jams, Adams was just as likely to start trading phrases with keyboardist Daniel Clarke as with guitarist Viola, and the rhythm section of bassist Charlie Stavish and drummer Freddy Bokkenheuser (the latter with a woodchopper's hammering energy) seemed to enjoy the musical interplay, and their bandleader's japes, as much as anyone on the entire hillside." In addition to extensive touring to support Adams' self-titled album, Adams and Stavish also continued to collaborate on recording projects, including 7" releases for Adams and solo EP's for Shining band members Viola and Clarke. And, by fall of 2016, the band began to work on and debut live new material for Adams' next record. The group ultimately headed into Adams' PAX AM recording studio to attempt recording as a band.
