Jerry : What? What happened? Sumukhi : What happened is that 27 years ago, your parents made a mistake! Jerry : You knew them back then? 😂😂😂

[@OnkarGhag]

Finally a show with subtle, not in you face style of comedy. Would love to see more.

this series deserves more views... we need to spread the word

[@abhay4147]

6 years and still the best Indian Mockumentary series I saw. The writing gives giants like Office and Parks and rec a run for their money

[@budgetmediawaley3454]

No words. no words to explain how good this series is. it is just so amazing! greatest web series India has ever seen, and will ever see.

Dyude does anirban guy seriously have lisp or is it just for this character? He's so hilarious! And I adore the way he calls Neil as Neil dada!!

"I kNow I know. Arre beta I saw I saw"😂😂😂😂

[@aathaath]

Hello to Sumukhi! Loved your character and the angst of it! The look given to the camera making the content of the cartoon ambiguous was on point!

[@SumukhiSuresh]

:D :D thank you!!

[@snehasamp]

oh my god ya! her expressions are spot on and love it that talented women like her are getting meaty roles

Watching this for the 3rd time in one year. Feel like a teen girl obsessing over a boyband.

[@swativats1981]

Nailed the mockumentary format! Also loved the fact that there was no romantic angle. Really looking forward to the 2nd season. Love you guys!

[@papawengz]

I will be yelling "SILEN!" at everyone I disagree with. Thanks

[@Progcon86]

this series looks a lot like The Office.

[@aathaath]

I'm sure it's based on 'The Office' which was based on the British 'The Office' but still the characters are relatable in our Indian context which makes it endearing.

[@bugsmexicy1668]

aathaath not british its american

[@rockettej]

exactly!!!!!

[@Saranga1998]

Dykez Sharma It's originally British. The American version of The Office came afterwards.

[@allwynrobert1270]

Neil Menon= Michael Scott...!

I am watching this at exactly 12. Love this show.

[@themboxershorts]

Merry new year buddy!

[@abrar1khan1]

Guys!!! Please Please please don't stop this... Is there someplace I can pay to watch this so that you can make some money out of it?

[@aathaath]

My thoughts exactly! It's such nuanced comedy, that it would be a shame if Them Boxer Shorts discontinue because of funding (just like the Better Life Foundation)

[@abrar1khan1]

Yes and that is why I went out and bought a kitkat and fanta even though I don't eat sweet.

[@saurabhs4863]

Yeah same here. PLEASE DON'T EVER STOP THE SHOW DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS. THIS NEEDS TO GO ON.

[@4evertrotter]

Dude! You are already killing them by buying things from the rivals of the sponsors of the company. You should have bought Mirinda, not Fanta! :P
