Leaving a comment, cause you asked for it nicely. Funny stuff, loved!

[@HarshPandey-qv1ly]

Sure Bro subscribed you ❤

[@thebanat]

Some of the OGs may have noticed, there's a couple of older bits in this video. I look at those as a comedic version of a 'remaster' - because I loved those jokes, but hated my stage presence when I had originally released them :)

[@prabhatsourya3883]

I was searching for someone who caught this "remaster".

[@Swapna9]

Doesn't matter. Biker wormhole would never be not funny

[@thearcanearcade4923]

Or you could call it cutting corners directly. But jokes aside, thanks for the content you put up for free. Skipping parts is the least a viewer could do, and you too would benefit from a longer KZbin video quota 😅

[@sock1050]

no problem. Reduce reuse recycle

[@amikhmukho]

Missed the Salman Rushdie bit.

[@shounakjindam1624]

That 3rd person was way beyond someone could expect. hahaha. what a writing man . cheers

[@sangamramachandran3156]

If jokes were babies, Azeem would be an eminent gynaecologist!

[@blackswan6963]

GOOD ONE !!

[@viseshism]

Bhai, try achcha tha. Lekin tu ne paad diya. Delivery specialists Obstetricians ho te hain. (They usually also study Gyn but still. Do your goddam research.)

[@sangamramachandran3156]

@@viseshismSoonghne ke liye thanks! Pata chala naa mooli ke parathe the. Toh hasle aur chalta ban.

[@thekangbang]

Not usually. Always. You can't study just obstetrics without gynecology. That's a recipe for disaster. They all study as ObGyns. Warna wo midwife hai 😂 ​@@viseshism

[@thekangbang]

But yes obstetrician works better in this context for sure even though they're all also gynaecs ​@@viseshism

If you no longer go for a gap that exist, you are not an Indian driver - Arun Sen

[@jameswilson639]

Man what an amazing set. I’m so glad you did this set again, with more jokes. Third person, absolutely hilarious and genius. Signature Azeem (yes my grammar got progressively worse, I’m trying to establish my hierarchy in the food chain)

[@techmay1201]

This guy is such a terrific comedian. The jokes, timing and level of delivery is just perfect!

[@Idontshowanything]

i read that as traffic comedian😂

[@userunknowno21]

Routine comment for every one

[@punyashalilasahu3937]

Azeem, i wouldn't say I'm a long time fan of yours, but yes you earned a loyal fan just through a shorts you had uploaded, the one in which you talked about the inherent western racism in naming wars across the world. You are simply terrific. Not everyone gets political satire, not their forte. I personally love that. And in the kingdom of political comedy, you are undoubtedly the king. Kudos and much love. ❤

[@Pramiti_Choudhury]

When education meets talent..ohh my god he has so much knowledge in alot of topics with a great skill of comedy...wow❤ love you..i just click on ur vdos without even thinking if it's you

[@rushabhchheda2582]

he may not be swiggy delivery boy but he always delivers. The time and delivery(the performance not the food) deserve a 5 star rating.

[@The-Celestial]

Ye bhi alag komedy kardiye aap 🤣🤣

[@hemantgairola]

"All Indians are my brothers and sisters." 😁 Kendriya Vidyalaya waalon ke liye nostalgia wala moment tha yeh.

[@straightforward5916]

Let me say this : Azeem's stand-up videos has more witty humour in subtitles than Azeem's vocal humour ! N.B : His vocal humour is also classy !

[@gloomymelancholypumpkinspice]

His sets are always sooo witty and genius, plus the delivery✨✨❤️

[@madhurima2454]

his intelligence shone through every punchline, and the way he seamlessly weaved in twists was truly captivating.

[@amitrana9090]

I recently started watching his stand ups and he is pure gold..😁

[@TheBoomsonic]

Damn, I didn’t know we had this kind of talent in our country. As Satish Kaushik would say - Master aadmi hai.

[@yashsipani849]

As a Yash i can confirm that its true

[@sauravus]

Dude I have absolutely no words. The most intellectual standup comedian of India hands down

[@vidurmakkar34]

azeem bro, never disappoints!

[@deepikachahal1102]

He has some brilliant writing talent. This is awesome and the funny notes in subtitles.. just amazing

[@akashsil9994]

Fun video. Was great to see this set again after seeing it live and can't wait for the special.💜🖤

[@dawdapratik]

Simple love his set. Such smart jokes. It's a shame he's not as popular as he should be. Hoping to watch you live soon. Lots of love, man! Wish you only the best!

[@ishitashah5085]

Your take on any subject is never disappointing! Hope to attend a show in person some time 🎉

[@pratulpan3737]

That third person joke was phenomenal, took me a few seconds to get it.😂😂😂

[@niki7961]

killed it as usual....you are one of the finest comedians we have in this country ❤️

[@hassanabdulaziz7275]

8:53 Only now on my rewatch i paid attention to "Urdu Because" I see what u did there

[@bellycurl89]

Azeem is one of the very few who delivers intelligent jokes

[@jayeshravindranath8500]

Azeem, is so spot on, with his insights of Indian life. Layer that with his ability to convey that with telling humour. Superb.

[@soubhikkhuntia7011]

3rd person perspective best part 🤣🤣

[@miteshdd]

Excellent script, subject, real laughs even while watching on youtube. Keep them coming, my friend likes them a lot 😁😁

[@ruthwik-m]

I came to your Minor Celebrity show in Feb in Hyd - so recognised most of these jokes (subtle "remasters") but still laughed uncontrollably! You are a genius!

[@shanaya13]

I was searching for an Indian English Stand up comedy video to spend my Sunday afternoon when it has been raining for the past three hours and I searched for it and got stuck and started watching . I really liked it. But one thing I am definitely going to mention about your Comedy and that is- the local flavour presented in local language so that they are not lost in translation. That is great. Indians speaking in English definitely will grow the taste for Indian English Stand Up ( and Sit down also to take breather😂 sometimes) . Good job. Keep up your good work and keep on entertaining us.

[@aaminahnoorani]

Watched a part of this set live but oh man, this was tight. Absolutely enjoy the intelligent bits you have in your sets!

[@ShravaniDeshpande-xw5bu]

Bring videos about unemployment, Indian parents, Indians and their out of the world ways

[@salilshukla6272]

Azeem Bhai never disappoints :)

[@jayasinghrathod8683]

One of the most underrated comedian in the Indian circuit. Love his clean and subtle humor.

[@navsenjoy]

One of very few who maintain the quality.... May not be best but consistent😊😊

[@callmeaj3077]

although i couldnt get all jokes cus lack of knowledge but i am preparing for it someday i will crack JEE thru ur videos

[@anandgupta3196]

Good flow, great timing and perfect delivery. Keep it going, uncle 😂

[@not_now1820]

7:04 Man this is some next level nerd comedy. No doubt you're an engineer. I'm too🙌🙌

[@sumanyadav-gf5it]

In the sub it was "Urdu because" 😂 because it is Urdu

[@thebanat]

Well spotted :)

[@Bhavincis]

Observation 👌🏻✨

[@ganeshnarayanan590]

Love this ❤❤❤ super funny man 😂😂😂. Miss you from EIC

[@AmanTiwari10101]

The way you subtly insert those political satires 👏💯

[@Little_penguin02]

Esa lag raha h comedy ke sath sath education bhi mil rahi hai 💕loved it 👏

[@iftekharmujawar6543]

Never disappoints..great set Azeem

[@citybird29]

Azeem is like Zayn Malik. Started of in a group, the group got popular but after the group members went their way, Azeem turned out the best because he was the one who grew and improved his art. Great set. But i am disappointed that the true lord of indian city roads, autowala didnt get more time. 😂

[@drunknown422]

Uff, the level of comedy !!✨

[@raghavendrarangrej2574]

Hilarious as always. I've been following this guy since he was associated with EIC. He's probably one of a very few guys who are not just funny but also very smart ..

[@TeeHeeVines]

Who were looking only on subscrits not on him.❤️😂😂

[@chikkatheboss]

bless you Mr. Azeem. i enjoyed your show. I should thank your digital marketing team to scroll this video in my list. This is my first video of yours i had watched. laughed , laughed and laughed.. bless you again. - .

[@nevilmakwana4467]

This guy makes more sense than current politicians

[@kavishgajwani3570]

Bro you are a genius, when it comes to delivery and writing. In awe .

[@anuragkulkarni2929]

Calling someone a dictator and then openly joking about it says that leftist and logic doesn’t go together.

[@theredbaron28]

Well said 😅, but gotta give this one to Azeem fun content

[@amitkale667]

Bhakts, logic and sense of humour don't go together as well.

[@tagkati7080]

Pappu standing up for another pappu😂​@amitkale667

[@sidvohra1457]

The logical engineer shines as a standup ... never disappoints. Azeem your creativity is another level

[@sinhari]

Thanks

[@gaze9885]

As a keralite I can't agree with the ambulance fact, you should see our roads i mean kerala roads , if a ambulance is going then all the vehicle gives side even it's a big traffic also , nobody make any hurrines in front of ambulance,they used to go in such a fast speed also. Recently also a video gone viral , people were fighting and ambulance came and they move away from the road and gave way to the ambulance and after ambulance gone they started fighting again 😅 that's our culture towards ambulance 😊

[@ArushiPatkeyy]

Such terrific comedy !!! Loved it sadly missed your show last time hoping to catch it up soon

[@mku1374]

Thanks

[@JD-ql4zh]

bro, nailed it. only a few comedians have this flavour of comedy, where you have to keep churning your brain to get the puns and the satire. lovely bro. waiting for more such standup videos.

[@KapilKandhare]

Finally! Thanks Azeem for creating separate channel for your gaming stuff. Resubscribing to this channel now. I simply love your comedy. Been to your show once. waiting for the next one after the Minor celebrity... You are my fav stand up comedian!

[@bajajsrishti]

Such a fun set!! Enjoyed every second of it!! I love the amazing mix of political satire, scientific analogies, and subtle-not-subtle jokes!!!

[@chesterunfolds2015]

Honestly, not every stand comedy video makes me laugh.....but your work is great....political satires, analogy drawn are all too good.....keep up the good work

[@sahajmakesmusic2034]

lovely. becoming my favourite comic!

[@nasirehsan2397]

Loved it. Small suggestion, If You'll do this set in Delhi, please mention yesteryears Blue Line Buses and DTC Daredevils.

[@S_dr611]

Literally always amazed by the topics u choose n the way u turn the tables that's gr8.... Really enjoyed❤

[@jijikal]

Im tamil guy, bin binge watching u for at least an hour for now...ur hilariously talented 🎉great work @10:25 im lost in translation :(

[@Sup-m2j]

Comedy Gold!! Took me back to my driving and riding days in Bangalore.

[@letsbeappy]

I love this type of comedy. You laugh at first and then the honest sarcasm hid behind the punch line hits you and you appreciate the witty sense of humour of the comedian. Great job! You earned a new subscriber :)

[@MudithaMaths]

The stand up is fresh and brilliant as usual. The subtitles and the witty text makes it a masterpiece. "Third person perspective" was awesome!! Do you plan these jokes? Or do you just come up with it during the edits?

[@pcshuman]

❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂 the best part about this guy is no not needed gaalis like othwrs. The MCs and BCs for no reason that come up in so many others, feels ireitating. This guy us plain intelligent laughter...😂😅

[@seimonlal]

The best 3rd person Comedy

[@rudrachauhan1605]

I am currently riding in Mumbai locals, and I have paused this video in between coz I heard some commotion on the train. And I think Azeem would completely understand and empathize with this disrespect coz Mumbai Local Food Chain peh sabse pehle aayega Jhagda, in other familiar words, Rada! And you cannot miss it, coz there are good chances that you might get to hear and/or see something epic!

[@beingchikloo2282]

Man is still ahead of his time! Amazing.

[@vijayachamundeswari9054]

👏👏👏👏laughed so much. Am recouping from surgery and this sure is medicine👍thank you

[@kalki_nov_2023]

My mom used to be a dramatic college specialist Her piece of advice was "Speaking in third person is one of the most difficult tasks on the stage" Kudos to this guy Yeahi bande hai jiske liye hafte Mein Ek baar KZbin dekh lene se.... You feel full and satisfied....

[@hirenwaghela1368]

Lost and found 😂 You were lost for long.. watched couple of your old videos few months back! Good to see you back🎉

[@SahilBihari]

Great set! Super relatable. Couldn't stop laughing 😂

[@lalitasinha9586]

Greetings from Penang, Malaysia. Loved it, well done🎉❤😂ALL INDIANS ARE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰

[@2588sandy]

The third party perspective, got me more love bhai, u rock asusual, Plz come to Bangalore soon ❤❤

[@MrTemptationruins]

This man is a sheer talent, wish him the best in the world! His humour is so inclusive & lovely indeed!

[@swatigupta-fh8zo]

Absolutely awesome - standing ovation to the punch - in cng hatch back what u gain in money, u loose in respect 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@aryanmohan6201]

Damn he upgraded his old jokes and made them even better.

[@bimalsharma1345]

I'm impressed my friend.... And I wish you all the best... I also wish you a long and successful standup career... Which looks highly unlikely 😂😂 But wtf... Somebody's got to do the dirty work... So all the best my friend 👍

[@snehanjaliselvan8347]

One of my most favourite comedians of this time.

[@javedvariya8738]

I have been living in Muslim area and being a muslim I can totally related to that skull cap observation and that reverse tunnel Urdu was a cherry on top....😂😂😂 They do ride like this specially on Friday nights.....

[@payal_mutha]

❤love it..! Intellectual comedy! So rare!

[@bedabyasa_biswal_]

3rd Person Perspective😂🔥

[@smitajoshi4459]

Alway surprising, cerebral relatable and extremely funny. Keep it up. We need more humor. As Salman Rushdie asked at a recent interview-“have you ever met a funny fanatic?” Let’s make them all laugh in spite of themselves.

[@not_now1820]

I learnt more concepts of Science today than my entire academic years combined😂

[@abhijeetpandey558]

I just preferred watching you over bassi,both of them being simultaneously aired on my screen.

[@4nupam]

absolutely absolutely effing brilliant! 👏👏👏🙌🙇 as always the humor, the observation, the vocabulary, the delivery, everything superb. hope to see you live soon 🤞

[@Ibrahimkiddo]

Azeem Banatwala is truly a gem among a sea of comedians. His wit, unique perspective, and sharp humor set him apart, making every performance a must-watch. His ability to balance insightful commentary with effortless humor is unparalleled. Keep shining, Azeem! - ChatGPT :)

[@AniketMukherjee86]

Cool stuff... Totally relatable... And Ashok Leyland... The legend. I think the name was deliberate.

[@unnikri67]

Hilarious!! The subtitles too are awesome!! ❤️❤️😂😂

[@paragz]

One of the best stand up I’ve seen a while. You are amazing! Although you could also cover auto rickshaws in the hierarchy next time.

[@deovratwade594]

Amazing video as always man, and i really do love the fact that you found a way to sneak in a salman khan joke as always, terrific work on this one, hope you keep posting more content like this :))))))

[@progyandas9650]

What are the dates for Kolkata ?

[@R3d0xxxx]

Such a brilliant set, very well written ❤️

[@internet_wanderer8316]

This video once motivated me to attend your show but I forgot or got lazy. Now I would be coming in your next show after I re-watched it just now. I enjoyed it thoroughly 😂

[@kinghimanshufrometihadstad3579]

Was live in the audience!!! Epic as always!!
