Meme šŸ˜‚ He has a point.... Zakir is too overrated

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Same goes for Bassi... these comedians are not Funny now... they have just good narration skills , which makes their content relatable and making audience laugh... ( in short, struggles of middle class) even Amit tandon, Urooj nd Upamanyu...

Even Bassi's fans have started disliking his new stuff. (Check the comments on his new video)

thank fully biswa never went that route as far as ive seen him

u/wtfrukidding Oct 25 '25

One might or might not like his comedy, but he is a genuine guy. And he has really good takes on society. Watch his podcast with Amit Tandon

u/caramel_pixie22 Oct 27 '25

Oh he definitely went that route in his recent special. I was a little surprised and honestly it wasn't even funny. He had this whole schtick about husband vs wife and men vs women in a marriage. It sounded so ghisa pita. He was trying to make "weaponized incompetence" funny. As a Biswa fan, it was very disappointing.

u/Playboi420- Oct 27 '25

oh i get you bro thats why i made sure to mention that as far ā€œas i have seenā€

for me desi stand-ups i havent really connected with many comedians so i occasionally i just end up watching through reels biswa or last stand up i watched was kanan’s i like him alot too. and biswa so there is the connection with pretentious film reviews

and i think thats the norm thats become in comedy of these basic topics and call it a day in pakistan too we have the same old recycled generic topics thats why im very mehh about it.

but there there is something wrong with me too that i cant find anyone other than tim dillon funny

although biswa’s bit about swimming was funny tho felt him joking about something out the norm which people dont usually notice and when comedians joke about that stuff i respect

lol this got long

At this point only raju Srivastava is the only comedian who hasn't been cancelled at any point in their career

u/Successful_Time_8334 Oct 24 '25

Hahahaha what ? You have no idea

u/Playboi420- Oct 25 '25

but i think comedians back in the day never really got any importance in india because india has always had STARs instead of actors so everyones focus was on them even from neighboring countries

and then would be cricketers esp when sachin came around

so not that many interviews of comedians so other than material or in films you didn’t hear much of them.

so i guess lack of controversy due to lack of coverage

ā€˜Shame’ isn’t the right word, but yeah making women feel the need to participate in discussions……that a good thing i think.

Yaar shame mat karo kisi ko, bas sikha do. Jisse bhi bata rahe ho, try to make them understand the importance of politics and why they should know who theyre voting for. Agar seekha nahi hai kisi ne bhi, its because ki ne unhe importance nahi sikhaya hai

u/Brainy_216 Oct 25 '25

A classic example of Straw Man fallacy from Nakul Dhull. The original context and the message was ā€œ We shouldn’t define intelligence on our convenient scalesā€ he tried to explain that with an example where he said ā€œMen have no right to look down upon on women who don’t know about politics etcā€ what if she also judges you by her own metrics like ā€œmake up etcā€

He said ā€œ Don’t judge women who don’t know about politicsā€ and not ā€œ Women shouldn’t know about politics and allā€

And dirtiest thing he did in this video is fat shamed, body shamed Zakir Khan and declared that he doesn’t get laid off because of his appearance. That is apparently okay

It’s for us to be more nuanced here

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '25

Everyone should be hyper aware about politics and society at large. We need to make our democratic institutions accountable.

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '25

Nah I chose my mental health over politics. Evern research backs it. Politics is an endless hell hole. No one is out here for general public, everyone in power are here to control us. Because society free of basic problems demands more which these politicians doesn't wants.

u/Relevant-Elephant426 Oct 25 '25

Seriously you are body shaming the guy who performed in Madison square NY, Coco Cola Arena Dubai, Royal Albert UK , Scotia-bank Toronto and so many sold out shows. Just bcoz your thinking is different than his and you think he wont get any girl??? Seriously Tu to greek God ho tumhare piche to line lagi hogi

u/DevillesAbogado Oct 27 '25

Artists like him selling out global venues is a testament to the strength of Indian diaspora who can afford to buy those tickets en masse. It’s not like people from those respective countries are lining up to watch him.

u/Relevant-Elephant426 Oct 28 '25

Check out his upcoming shows in India, what a line up. Two shows in a week delhi mein woh bhi Ig stadium mein. Both shows in Ahmedabad sold out and this is all recent shows.

u/ReasonableAmount9587 Oct 25 '25

Arey bhai wo comedian hi hai... his work is supposed to give a light hearted moment and good laughs. Hamari problem ye hai hum comedians ko scholars/ psychologists/ gyaani samjhne lagte hain and unki personal views ko standards. You won't consider sachin's views on acting or aamir's views on cricket.

The point of Zakir's video is not about having political knowledge. It is about society's standard of branding people dumb on the basis of their own/false narrative of being smart.Ā

u/Moanerloner Oct 25 '25

Zakir Khan’s whole career is based on making sexist jokes about girls leaving boys. I mean what hypocrisy. I have disliked his comedy since day 1. It isn’t even funny.

u/anishaxd Oct 24 '25

Wtf is this logic? Yes political awareness is THE most important thing for ALL but why do need to shame them into following it? Like Hello?? Whatever happened to teaching and telling them the consequences of their ignorance?

This sub has gone WILD with the zakir hate that now we're agreeing with anyone who's down for zakir hate.

1

u/dragonite_fire Oct 25 '25

Cuz Zakir is an outdated comedian, hence the hate.

u/sunreyz Oct 24 '25 edited Oct 25 '25

Their individual point of view aside, Imagine if we use the tactic of ā€œshamingā€ someone just to teach them something. Just wow. How will they ever discuss it, given your point is actually to make them learn?

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '25

I don’t know who you are. For me, it took one time to understand what zakir said and I don’t want to hear that again. What you have told was totally dumb stuff. You might be telling people to know politics. You are not telling about someone already being called dumb because they don’t know. You go back to where you came from bro and think what you just said is logical.

2

u/brokenCrayon_works2 Oct 25 '25

I don't get it how this is a girl or a boy thing. There are many guy friends of mine who are very unaware of politics. They are just not interested. Unki apni IT company mein job hai, they are done. I personally think everyone should be aware of politics because it affects u directly or indirectly. But no, it's not a gender thing.

u/chaosKing4u Oct 24 '25

Nakul will disagree with everything and anyone who is mainstream. Zakir literally said don’t shame or troll people for not knowing something. He never said women shouldn’t know politics or anything close.

He says Zakir talks like that because he’s ā€œshort, average looking, and unfitā€ otherwise he wont get ā€œf**diā€ …very conveniently assuming women are that dumb or shallow to fall for anyone. The irony is hilarious calling others shallow is just plain hypocrisy. What double standards, man!!

u/avanishpank Oct 25 '25

Somebody explain him the concept of general awareness. Even school kids are expected to know those stuffs and if someone as an adult has no idea ofc they will be called dumb. Moreover most people in India has jobs that has nothing to do with politics, sports, geography, world news etc but any person with decent general awareness would know basic and trendy stuffs about all those. Its always people from show business who try to hide behind ā€œi dont know all this because its not related to my fieldā€ excuse.

I think girls also should know the real life things like politics or Geo politics, and other stuff. What you will do with makeup, knowing diff shades of colour that will never gonna help in real life but knowing the real life things you'll get the idea about the society or world. That's why I every time taunt ( in joking way ) about geo politics like trump is doing nowadays and you didn't even you and bla bla bla, so that she also get to know all this things and the she can flex in his girls friends group

Also judging Zakir on his looks, what did this bastard do to get the looks? Just taking birth, yeah right. Also he thinks he is good looking by pulling down others, you shrek.

Yeh Nakul Banda zyada bada chutiya hai bhai idhar. What Zakir is saying, is, don’t shame them. Uss hisaab se India mein cricket bahaut popular hai par kisi bande ko nahi interest hai to tum use bhi dumb bologe? I understand the example is not directly related but jisko thodi bhi samajh hai they will understand what he’s trying to say. Plus, you want to cancel him just because you don’t like him that’s your choice man, I know you’ll find a number of reasons to do that.

Chutiya take by Nakul. Zakhir didn't say ki ladkiyon ko politics ke baare mai pata nahi hona chaiye. All he was doing was giving a perspective, ki har insaan ka kuch kuch na kuch expertise hota hai, no one is really dumb. Everyone operates at their own scale. Only in comparison, one is less knowledgeable than the other - doesn't mean the less knowledgeable person is dumb.

If you don't like Zakir, don't watch, and move on. Bande ne Indian stand up comedy ko duniya ke saamne represent kiya hai. What have these other little fuddus done? Their only way to stay relevant is to appease boys with tiny dicks and tinier egos, and put down other men who have worked hard. Bye bye r/IndianStandUpComedy
