Love who he comes from pragmatic lines of thought and delivers them unfiltered

The key is unfiltered.  Because of British sensibilities.   
  
 Likewise, Jimmy Carr.  Hilarious in Britain, scandalises the Americans.

Product Owner

I don't know man, whenever I sits with 4 of my male friends, it's better than 90% comedians.  
 I enjoy only crowd work.

Software Developer

Bill Burr and Ricky Jervais are always at the top of my list. Rahul Subhramanian and Niv Prakash are also extremly good although I think Niv's content is quite limited at the moment. 
  
 Bonus mention, while not exactly a standup artist, Nathan Fielder has done some stuff that is truly underrated.

 Few more storytellers like zakir bassi etc but they ain't standup comedian anymore

Yeah, Zakir is not a comedian any more. Bassi is massively overrated and more of a bakchod now and not a comedian at all

I'll share a rather weird one, but this female really caught my eye. 
 She is just so nonchalant, using social media as mirror.  
  
 Also, in her own words, she is a bad stand-up comedian, but the fact she can own it 🔥

Kanan Gill is your favourite comedian’s favourite comedian

Of all the live shows I have watched of Indian comedians, Kannan has the most structured and layered shows. Everyone else makes jokes in parts (good for reels) not like a storyline.

try it, you might find most videos way below average

If you ever want to judge whether a stand up comedy video is actually funny or not, don't watch it, just listen to it.

My YouTube feed is not interesting anymore. What are you all watching?

Andrew Huberman - Health 
 Cal Newport - Productivity 
 Mark Rober - Fun scientific experiments 
 Numberphile - Fun maths! 
 Arpit Bhayani - Quality tech content  
 Pro Home Cooks - Cooking/Gardening 
 Various Standup Comics for Entertainment

Standups are  🫶

Half of the show is just maa-bhen ki gaali (vulgar and abusive words), every video hitting millions of views on YT and is trending too.

I would never like my kids to find such videos from the trending YT page or even I wouldn't like my gen-Z son/daughter exposed to such videos. There is just too much vulgar and offensive content passed off as comedy and entertainment all over the place these days.

What are your thoughts on Samay Raina's show on YT - India's got latent?

I will start. 
I am jealous of Pilots as they get to travel a lot while being paid. ( Having Airhostess/es in their close circles is also one of the reasons )

Professions you are jealous of :)

Am jealous of politicians...kind of power they have simply intriguing

Just trying to understand which influencer do you love and why? Could be an artist/entertainer/knowledge influencer on any social media platform.

Which Indian influencer do you like the most?

Hey fellow grapevine friends, let me share a hilarious tale of my recent job interview rollercoaster ride! So, picture this: I chanced upon interviewing for one those new age alternative fintech firms, feeling like a boss, acing every interview level with flying colors. The interviewers were practically showering me with positive vibes about the role and the company. I was on cloud nine!

But hold on to your seats, folks, because things took an unexpected turn. After the initial warm reception, it suddenly went colder than an iceberg. I waited eagerly for responses from the TA team, but all I got was radio silence. Not even a peep. It was like they vanished into thin air!

Now, I wasn't keen on pestering the hiring manager, but desperation got the best of me. I decided to shoot them a message, hoping for some answers. And guess what? They hit me with the most mind-boggling news ever – a hiring freeze! Can you believe it? Talk about bad timing, right? I must have brought some serious jinx along with me.

As if that wasn't enough, I then discovered something straight out of a conspiracy movie. I noticed that the TA team's LinkedIn profiles had that same little green circle, indicating they were open to work.. But wait, there's more! A bunch of ex-employees and other members of the team also had that eerie green circle. What on earth was happening here? Are they secretly communicating in some LinkedIn language that mere mortals like us don't understand?

Oh well, my friends, the job hunt can be a wild and wacky adventure, full of unexpected twists and turns. But fear not, for I am armed with resilience and a great sense of humor! So, with popcorn in one hand and my resume in the other, I shall continue my quest to conquer the job market. While also finding the anomalies of the start up world. Here's to embracing the unpredictability and staying positive on this crazy journey! Cheers to the next chapter of my job hunt! 🍿🚀

[Thread] It’s Friday! Time for some Dark Humour

Let’s start standup (starts with you first)

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am in 2nd year in college pursuing computer science..so far most of the time i do competitive programming and sometimes web development..i am working hard but because of the never ending depressing posts on LinkedIn and blind about layoffs and recession plus no hiring in big tech..i feel that all my hard work will be not worth it in future..also the people have made this wonderful field a joke by this standup comedians who joke about engineers every time.........i really want to contribute to this society and earn great amount of money as well but the hope is decreasing day by day..

What should I do😔😢?

Depressed

Did anyone else watch this new format show from samay Raina?

Can happen only on latent- Chess Grandmaster Vidit and Poonam Pandey on same stage

Associate Product Manager

There is a reason Indian audience is not ready for roasts - the comedian cannot stop themselves from making vulgar cheap jokes and cal it "roasts"
Tech Roast in west are so healthy (atleast portrayed so)
