Incredible what control he has over the audience. A lot of times when comedians get serious you can hear people still laugh a little because they aren’t sure whether or not it’s supposed to be funny. Never the case in this clip, even though he bounces back and forth between serious and comedic a lot. Amazing.

[@AkuraTheAwesome]

He is able to control moods around him like a friendly dog at a party.

[@christinalynn8143]

Good on him, to share so openly with the public his experience with infertility. It really is an unsettling discovery for individuals impacted. Using his platform to inform and reassure other individuals who are infertile that they are not by themselves.

[@cloudwatcher608]

11:13 “I was lying” It’s actually amazing that he admits this. When we get married and choose a spouse of course we are in love and think we would sacrifice for them and all that, but when we procreate the amount of sacrifice we feel we would be willing to commit to multiplies by a factor of 10 at least. My kids drive me bananas on a daily basis and recently were a deciding factor in me not going on a trip to Japan but I have never for a single moment regretted having them.

You never know what family is until you have one. This is the clear statement of Hasan Bhai. Loved your passion.

[@hellogoditsmesara3569]

I remember the booger joke and Hasan said “I wouldn’t do that for Beena, Beena wouldn’t do that for me” and all I could think of was “Hasan, Beena would have tissues on her she wouldn’t ever need to do that for you” Edit: I would like to add this is a joke in response to a joke and neither joke should be taken seriously, thank you :)

[@Ramberta]

exactly. m y dad was always prepared w/ tissues lol no need for the grossness! it's funny though bc I have used one of those little rubber squeeze things to suck out a baby's snot before, but it's stored in the device til you clean it out :P

[@Asummersdaydreamer14]

So true lol. I do not have a PhD like Beena, but it is ok to ask for an assist from another parent with tissues or a kids caretaker at a kids photography session, Hasan. There was another considerably LESS nasty solution.

[@Azural]

i'm sure he had tissue but i think ppl are missing the point, it's just another way of saying he is serious when he said he would do anything for her... i guess some ppl stops at nasty for their proclaimed loved ones
