In Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn't Exist season 1 episode 2 titled The Mysteries of Pregnancy, we see our protagonist, Tanukichi Okuma, tasked with finding the secret cache of hidden pornographic material that his classmate Ayame Hemuri and her terrorist organization SOX had left behind in the school's underground. Meanwhile, his mother, who is also a police officer, pays a visit to his school to investigate rumors of a mysterious pregnancy club.
As Tanukichi searches for the porn stash with his robotic dog, he stumbles across what he thinks is a hidden passageway but is instead a closet containing a girl named Anna Nishikinomiya, who is the student council president and has a crush on him. Anna explains that she was just looking for a quiet place to nap and is unaware of any porn stash. Tanukichi agrees to keep her secret and cover for her while she takes a nap.
Later on, Tanukichi and Ayame sneak into the school's broadcasting room to make an announcement about their upcoming obscene rally in protest of the government's strict censorship laws and lack of freedom of speech. However, they are interrupted by Anna, who has woken up from her nap and overhears their plans. She threatens to report them to the school's authorities, but Ayame manages to convince her to join their cause by exploiting her crush on Tanukichi.
As the episode progresses, Tanukichi's mother comes across the mysterious pregnancy club, and it is revealed that the members are using special technology to simulate the experience of pregnancy. The technology is designed to quell their desires for obscene materials and satisfy their urges to reproduce, which have been deemed inappropriate by society. Tanukichi's mother attempts to shut down the club, but they manage to escape with their equipment, setting the stage for future conflicts.
The episode ends with Tanukichi and Ayame successfully holding their rally, but they are ambushed by the school's disciplinary committee, who were tipped off by Anna. The committee attempts to apprehend them, but they managed to escaped thanks to Tanukichi's quick thinking. As they flee, Tanukichi and Ayame find themselves getting closer, suggesting that a romantic relationship may be in the near future.
Overall, Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn't Exist season 1 episode 2 delivers more of the same crude humor and social commentary that characterized the first episode. The episode delves deeper into the society's censorship laws and its effects on the population's desires and urges. It also sets up future conflicts between Tanukichi and his mother and Ayame and the school's disciplinary committee.
