"You think we'll make children represent the Children's Welfare Trust?" It's been yrs since I saw this series but that scene is one of the times where I've laughed the hardest ever. I still tear up with laughter when I watch that scene 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@delhikitchengardening]

I've watched this series so many times.... And it makes me happy. What brilliant actor KV, sumukhi, naveen kanan are. Love love.

[@andrewclarance]

ah finally some Office-level writing! Also don't overdo the direct-to-camera glances. Make it subtle. By far the best series on YT.

[@atreyibhattacharjee9181]

Why are you guys so boss? India needs more writers like you. Super smart stuff.

[@atreyibhattacharjee9181]

Also, accidental sibilance there x

[@themboxershorts]

+Atreyi Bhattacharjee Tell that to our report cards!

[@atreyibhattacharjee9181]

Holy crap. *Didn't think anyone would respond, tried to tap into witticisms because suddenly in presence legitimately funny comics, failed, went with holy crap.* Have a nice day and happy creating!

[@SucharitaTyagi]

Love the nod to "Office space". Or at least I'm assuming thats what "red stapler" was ;-)

[@KrutarthBhatt1]

I think it is time for series companion where 'not a reviews ' are uploaded.

[@janicemoriarty2578]

Succchuuuuuuu♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@ps-uj5dm]

I can relate a lot to Neil. about the signature problem and other awkward moments he face. anyone else feel the same just wanted to know

[@cothikaju]

I have an even worse signature problem. I invented mine when I was 13 and it wasnt even my whole name. Just the first letter and a bunch of squiggles. I thought it looked fancy and grown-up then. my name is 9 letters long and the signature barely looks like 4 letters. Signing forms, bank documents and official papers is a nightmare since i have to replicate the signature exactly and somehow try to make it look like my name.

[@ps-uj5dm]

people should invent something else. There is a lot of problems with consitancy wen it comes to signature

[@jananiragu4312]

Totally get the pressure!

[@BK-uc2vq]

This should be on TV!!! Navin reminds me of Phil from Modern Family, Jerry was amazing and so were the others. Kudos to the writers. The relationship with the courier guy, that cracked me up.

[@adviksagarsetty4701]

yeah dude he is goofy and funny just like Phil

[@itsitsitsVirani]

"Braillewala story books" holy shit man. Made my day.

[@HarshitShetty5]

I'm done😭😭😭

[@arulsrinivas5258]

I died at Braille Storybooks! xD Hilarious and very professionally done. Love the scenes after the peon picked up the pen-camera. He even captured Armaan inside the office. They actually were "family friends". Brilliant!

[@pratishthaagarwal358]

This is the best show in India by a HUGE margin. Addicted. I need my fix.Next episode please!!!

[@AksharaKrishnan]

Was it just me or did anyone else hear Robo Rakesh when Naveen was doing the sock puppet thing! Also, How awesome is Utsav.. I love the series.. You guys are awesome!!

[@RoadRunneR69]

Haha!! Me too!!

[@kommu17]

comment did not age well

[@hashilmuhammed7680]

@@kommu17 I didnt get it

[@lakshmisruthi5142]

Just can't stop admiring how fantastic the writing is. And so well executed. Hats off to Them boxer shorts. The Indian tv industry should learn a thing or two from u guys.

[@SuperLonday]

Easily one of the best web series on Internet.

[@dutt_arka]

Well,well you're here too! ;)

[@vishrutapatil5726]

The simplicity of it makes it really appealing. It reminds me so much of parks and recreation, and the office as well! Giving that look to the camera!

[@andreadmello]

"Best way to connect with children is to talk to them like they're adults" 😂😂 really love this web series! Keep going guys, you're doing a great job ! ❤️

[@vibhab191]

Neil is my spirit animal. :P Waiting for this series to become popular! Love you guys!

[@SahilShahcomedy]

Zomg this is so well done.

[@VikramSingh-cq9ys]

This could have never made to our TV.

[@princevegeta11]

Sahil Shah you don't have a tick beside your name here. look Sahil Tanmay and Kenny both have them.

[@AbhinavPaulPOLY2563]

Opening scene was too good ... Boy was he color blind and naveen just sympathized .... Great writing and awesome talent .... Waiting for the next episode ... Hope it arrives quickly

[@ishatandon4537]

Can we just talk about how epic this is? DAMN THIS SHOW IS EPIC. Can we please have more episodes, more frequently? ALSO loophole - or not really, if you think about it - colour blind equals you can't differentiate between red and green, reason why they're not given licenses. AH IF YOU GUYS DID THAT ON PURPOSE YOU'RE EPIC. This entire show is epic. I need more. S'il vous plait. and I'm hoping that earned me brownie points coz it was in french.

[@themboxershorts]

+Isha Tandon more coming your way real soon. In large quantities as well. Hang in there. Omelette Du Formage?

[@gamegnome]

whadup Dexter's Laboratory reference!

[@rohildeshpande2634]

epic comment

[@varsha368]

I'm dead because this is so awesome! I love the plot and all of the actors, Sumukhi Suresh you are my favourite. Great editing too! Can't wait for the next one :')

[@themboxershorts]

Please don't die. We would appreciate if you stick around and watch our videos.

[@varsha368]

+Them Boxer Shorts Thanks for replying! I think I burst a coronary, but will hang on to watch ALL your videos!

[@purpleahaze]

I am so angry at you guys that i can't even breath... Why does this have to once a week? Put all the episodes so that i can binge watch them. This is the best sitcom i have seen from India.

[@themboxershorts]

Ask and you shall receive.

[@purpleahaze]

I shall hold you guys to that promise. ;)

[@saanchisaxena9766]

We really need more TV shows like this. This is smart, funny, witty and so well-written. The acting is on point. Seriously, we need stuff like this on TV.

[@JustMe-]

OMG. This was great!!! Cannot wait for the next episode! This needs more views already!! Thank you to you all for creating this. So needed. So badly. Kanan - followed your success since the movie reviews and you really have grown so much!

[@Adityasingh-gw8sb]

The level of this show is International.... outstanding

[@mitalibiswas5797]

Kanan's smile and laughter ❤

[@slorrin]

This generation of Indian comedians really makes me laugh.

[@shriya15slimshady]

I love the camera stares and in between interviews! So funny 😂😂

[@ashwath123456]

I really love how Neil takes a small pause, and looks at the camera when he does something stupid. Really adorable characters. Top episode.

[@mathewtony3170]

NEIL- MICHEAL SCOTT ARMAAN-JIM JERRY - DWIGHT

[@podangadubukus]

Lol even mannerisms .. copied

[@KB-xu8mn]

Yaaaaar I miss this! I’d do anything to watch part 2 again

[@_v_a_n_s_]

you want google drive link? xD

[@InfernoKnightN]

Anirban's line about not everyone being perfect is just so wholesome. Even though Neil's inability to sign is a pretty annoying problem, Anirban is so accepting.

[@RajeshRavi777]

3 minutes in and I'm already laughing like crazy! Superb job you guys :)

[@appushekar73]

I love this Malyali guy! Spot on he is, what timing man. Epic stuff. Keep up the good work team. All the best

[@PawanSeshadri]

Jeery's Auto Rickshaw Dialogue is like kenny's

[@1peeptom]

I sooo agree with Tanmay! Where Bollywood has failed, film, after film, after film, writing for web series has nailed it- SCRIPT! A kickass script is EVERYTHING. Add to that, a firecracker ensemble! Wowzaa!

[@vasumamayo]

hahaha signing documents !!!can totally relate to it !

[@shruthishenoy7420]

This episode was SOOO good! Also ROBO Rakesh 😂

[@prawn_tikka]

You guys are doing such an amazing job. I have become a huge fan of your channel. Will look forward to all our videos with so much eagerness. :')

[@parithosh93]
