He has recently come up with two new videos, which are quite a joyride!

Indian Food & Talented People

This is Ketan’s first video, and is all about people who are as talented and down to earth as it can get! But he tells us, those are the kind who trigger depression in you. As you while away the time on Instagram waiting for magic to happen, these gifted people are using their gifts to their full potential.

Ketan also talks about the time he decided to visit France…well, the French part of India and tasting French cuisines to his delight. This adventure ended when he figured that the only spices they were aware of were salt and sugar.

He ended the video with a concrete opinion about Raisins–“Raisins shouldn’t be called dry fruits, since they aren’t completely dry”–and the people who eat it.

Ketan also shared a secret in this video about why wine complements French food.

Birbal & Comfort Zone

Ketan’s second, Birbal and Comfort Zone leaves you pondering about a lot of things. One being, those people in our lives who are constantly talking yet not arriving at the crux of it all. He also enlightens us on ‘How did Birbal actually die.’ And no, it is not how you think.

Ketan also talks about the comfort zone and the struggles of life.

However, one event was so special that he decided to comprehensively narrate it.

It was a regular day. Two boys from Meerut, Anubhav and Sam, were leading a normal life as friends and roommates. A life filled with fun, booze and cigs.

Until one day.

A regular college day turned into a memory for life, when his roommate’s father lands up unannounced and sees & hears what he shouldn’t have.

‘Roommate’ revives storytelling magic that Bassi holds. The attempt to bring his ‘buddy’ out from the bathroom, the eagerness to see him getting beaten up and the realisation of how mistake is a concept that’s different to each.

And finally having his anxiousness calmed.

Suhel starts off by announcing his career finding criteria:

First, don’t die.
Second, don’t get arrested.

Fair Enough!

He further talks about becoming a superhero, and how a career in the army closely resonates with superheroes. But…Criterion 1 comes into play.

Next comes up Engineering, and Criterion 1 comes into the picture even before concluding it.

He finally zeros down on becoming a doctor. Here’s why:

However, quickly changes his stance. Watch the video to know why!

He then chooses a career in stand-up comedy. Easy peasy.

Just stand on the stage and narrate jokes. At least he won’t get killed, or arrested…or so he thought. But, alas, again, galat career chun liya! Wanna know why? He shares the secret in the video.

The only option that he’s now left with is to be a Housewife. Know why he decided to opt out of this career option as well.

Bonne Bouches from the video:

Introverts have been following social distancing since forever.

We support Fries over Guys kinda feminism only.

Has happened to the best of us.

In her video – Feminism, Sati Aur Nange Log, Neetu Bhardwaj also explains the difference between ‘Sati’ and ‘Jauhar’ girls, moving on to telling us why she prefers being classist but not casteist.

Though Neetu Bhardwaj presents herself on stage with a poker-faced expression, but her content graced the faces of audience with a bout of hyperventilated laughter. We’d love to see her interacting with audience, for we feel that is going be a laugh riot!

The season of gifts and monetary reaps for the sister, and burnt pockets for the brother – all of them seemingly happy with this arrangement.

Even if the sister is double the size of her brother, in both height and girth, quite unlikely to ever need his raksha, she still circles three times her thali and joyfully tuck into all the gifts she gets in return.

But do you know when did this all begin?

We realise Humour Sapiens’ posts are supposed to be humorous, a little peek into the history is just fine – trust us!

So, since we are talking about Rakhi festival, there is an old, famous legend circling the Mughal emperor, Humayun. Legend has it that the widowed Rani Karnavati sent a rakhi to Humayun seeking his protection against Sultan Bahadur Shah. But by the time the emperor made a grand entry at Chittor, his rakhi sister had already set herself on fire. *Oops!*

According to another legend, the ritual of Raksha Bandhan was followed by Yama – the Lord of Death and Yamuna – the river that flows in India. Yamuna tied a rakhi to Yama, and the lord of death granted her immortality declaring that any brother who has tied a Rakhi and promised to protect his sister would also become immortal. *What about the sister’s immortality?*

We think, to compensate for immortality, the sisters are given gifts. Fair! Who needs immortality anyway?

Since we are a modern generation that believes in equality, the gifting norm on Raksha Bandhan has become a two way street.

Thinking of what could be a best gift for your brother or sister – every year – can be exhausting. After all, there is only so much that your sibling could need. And the situation gets unwieldy if your sibling is a comic. Right?

Fret not! Here we share the list to make your gift gifting easier this Raksha Bandhan.

Rakhi gifts for your stand-up comic sibling:

1. Box of Insults:

Given the fact that your comedian sibling is already used to heckling and people taking offence at their jokes, a small reminder of their stage time, BC – before coronavirus era, would be nice, and wicked. Buy on Oye Happy here.

2. Tumse Na Ho Payega Mug:

A little reminder never hurts might hurt them a little, and they might hurt you a little. But it’s like butterscotch cool, sweet and clever. Buy on Amazon here. 

3. Owl Kettle:

For the times, your sibling stays up scripting, working hard on their craft. Caffeine shall keep them up and running. Buy on Amazon here.

He starts with getting himself teleported to 1972, when he was just a foetus and describes how his parents must have felt had he suddenly landed as a full-grown man in that year. Anshu talks about passion – which is something you do when you find the grass greener on the other side. He mentions how the achievements these days are mostly about coming up with new Instagram filters.

Anshu ends with a very strong message of respecting your parents. Respecting, not by creating a facebook account for them; by not getting them on facebook. Respect them, but offline!

Highlights of the video:

• When mom has an Ekta Kapoor show moment for a second.

• We came out with 2 new dog filters.

• Mom vs Me/We

There are more funny instances from his life, such as his father treating facebook like a family whatsapp group, and his mother finding a bizarre way to include herself in his facebook conversations.

Check out the complete 1972 video and see the magic Anshu Mor once again weaves magic!

Hop on & Seat belt on, because…Nishant Tanwar is back with his new special ‘Gaadi Tera Bhai Chalayega’. This Hinglish special from Nishant is a face to face with reality. He talks about weddings; his China visit as a third wheel and his corporate stint. He establishes a pattern with the first shot of the special when he comes up on stage and totally owns it.

Outlandish Addiction

Nishant spends a considerable time telling how he is addicted to attending weddings and so begins the tale. He gets to attend a cousin’s wedding, deals with a couple of relatives who still are not able to wrap their head around the fact that stand-up comedy is a serious business. The horrid turn of events doesn’t end there. He narrates how he made his cousin wear a ‘lungi’ with a tux, and how he had to do third wheeling on his cousin’s honeymoon. He details his China and Dubai visit, the food, the orgasmic feel you have when you meet a fellow Indian or mere Hindi-speaking person abroad, the dessert safari and the real-belly-dancing experience he had.

The Times of Corporate

A lot of his material revolves around his experiences from his corporate stint, and how his boss considered him for not thinking out of the boss. He subtly explains the thin line between buttering and ass-licking, and how these traits can help you get good increments. His tale of adversity is a confessional style of storytelling, wherein he gets laughs almost matter-of-factly. This bit was where Tanwar was the brightest. He effortlessly motivates while describing how doing comedy costed him his job. He, at the same time, doesn’t make us feel bad for laughing at these incidents.

In his last bit, he describes meeting his former boss who laid him off a few years ago, and then comes the high point of the special, when he gives it back to his ex-boss that Tanwar’s time is more valuable now!

Though, Gaadi Tera Bhai Chalayega has a few moments where it falters and the whole thing takes a while to get going, but you sure can overlook those. His tone and energy help support the material, till he drops the mic with a motivating message about steering your life your way!

He is seen driving off a BMW in the end, which sure gives us goose bumps. We are proud, Nishant!

In his recent video, Parent’s Expectations, Adesh talks about how parents do something because they have to and then expect us to be obligated for it. He mentions how giving him food, clothes and education is really appreciable, but wasn’t required.

Now his concern is that his parents expect that he reciprocates by getting them good clothes and taking them to nice places. But what they should understand is, it should then be applicable to all the things they did for him as a child – including waking him up at 6 am.

Adesh further adds that once he was punished for stealing 2 rupees by having to stay locked up in his room, without internet. Now he gets punished when parents don’t lock him up, they ask him to sit in front of him. Now that’s the real Punishment! Watch this video to know the kind of tactics he uses to keep his father from checking his phone.

He also reminds how the stories when we were kids were so cute, Dogs and Goats were friends in those.

Kutta aur Bakri baat kar rahe hain…

Bakri: Ek number ka kutta hai tu, apni shaadi mein bhi nahi bulaya.

Kutta: Yaar mai toh bulane wala tha, but meri wife kitni badi Bitch hai.

The funniest bit was when he aptly mentioned how parents these days are so arrogant that they join their names to name their kid. As in, what have you achieved in life after all, that you decided to screw that poor kid’s name and life together. God save him from getting bullied all his life.

There is more to it than just this. Check out the complete video here:
