INDIA'S GOT LATENT IS CHEAP LAUGHS AND NOT COMEDY
I am a fan of dark humor. But what we are witnessing on shows like India’s Got Talent is not comedy—it’s laziness.
Comedy is an art. A craft. but lately, what passes for humor is just an endless cycle of jokes about sex, masturbation, and, for some reason, dick sizes. And not just once or twice—but over and over again.
Now don’t get me wrong—I appreciate dark humor. I love edgy jokes. But there’s a difference between being edgy and being cheap. Between being funny and being repetitive. And between pushing boundaries and simply crawling under them.
The real problem? These jokes aren’t just overused—they’re uninspired. When every punchline is about the same thing, it stops being funny and starts being predictable. And predictability is the death of comedy.
True comedians challenge us. They make us think. They take everyday situations and find humor in places we never expected. But if your entire set revolves around the same crude punchlines, then let’s be honest—you’re not a comedian. You’re just a guy with a mic saying the first NSFW thought that pops into your head.
It’s time we demand better. Not just from the contestants, but from the judges, the producers, and ourselves as an audience. Because comedy isn’t about how far below the belt you can go—it’s about how high you can raise the bar.
The problem isn’t that the comedy is not my type. My whole point is that the jokes keep revolving around the same topics—sex, dicks, and masturbation. And the impact of that is real.
Look at your own friend group. What do we find funny these days? It’s like our idea of humor has been compressed into this tiny limited space and we don’t even realize it.Comedy used to be about everything—life, struggles and even in random daily observations. Now, it feels like we’ve lost that range. The more we consume this kind of humor, the more we believe that only these 2-3 topics can make a person laugh.
EDIT :- I wrote this before the Ranveer allahbadiya's episode.Some fools are accusing me of causing the police case against Samay really?? I am the one who said they should improve their joke spectrum and not to shut down the show. People lost their reading abilities I guess.
