Hari Kondabolu on Russell Howard's Good News

[@abnegatingconformity]

This guy is excellent. I love his monotonous delivery, cynical attitude, pedantry and informed commentaries. Plus the act is really slick and well edited. To American audiences he is more friendly and laid back which is cool too, but his act seems more interesting and refined here.

[@marybarker7604]

"From the people that bought you White Jesus" 😆😆😆

[@LoxiDays33]

"You can believe what ever you want to believe. I don't believe in gravity, but you don't see me FLYING." My god I love this guy XD

[@logophile92]

"I don't believe in gravity, but you don't see me flying."

[@peterhaha8183]

At the same time, nobody walked up to this guy and said I don't agree with you about that joke, I Think Jesus was white.

[@RooReviews]

"white chocolate from the people that brought you white Jesus" love it

[@willowandglass7599]

Finally, a comedian who can talk about religion without forcing atheism down people's throats!

[@Aeshir2]

i love u

[@willowandglass7599]

He's a Hindu, watch the video! :)

[@willowandglass7599]

You can't be born as a Hindu, Hinduism's a religion not a race or ethnicity. You may have been brought up as a Hindu but that doesn't mean you were born that way. Moreover, why assume something like that when he's specifically said otherwise? That's more than offensive, it's just stupidity. There's nothing at all to suggest that he means what you assume he does.

[@willowandglass7599]

It is offensive to call someone an atheist if they're not an atheist. It's like calling someone a man if they're a woman or, indeed, Muslim when they're Hindu. However, the offensiveness of it is overwhelmed by the sheer stupidity of it and seeing as you thought it was possible to be born a certain religion, clearly that isn't exactly idiosyncratic for you. Moreover, my original comment said was how refreshing it was to see a comedian talking about religion without forcing atheism down people's throats and your attempts to do just that, whilst cute, are not going to be successful. I suggest you stop going out of your way to offend people and keep your bigotry to yourself.

[@evanderholiday3427]

[@kaizokuAUTO]

He should have said 'If you do not understand a basic grammar joke, we have nothing in comma' xD

@David Sanchez oh, to have a sense of humor

[@WrongButtonGames]

One of his best bits from what I've watched, I really like this guy.

[@SundaraRamanR]

I'm glad a lot of people are enjoying this, but as a big fan I think this is one of his weaker performances. I guess he had to cut a lot of his usual polished US-centric material since he's performing for British audiences, so his usual top notch delivery and timing were a bit missing (in my opinion anyway).

[@asmrgary5007]

This guy is hilarious I think the bbc should bring comics like Hari back and use him in more comedy shows

[@bemfawkes3214]

The big thing atm is women comics.... Comics like harri will come back around

[@ReallyTwistedHumor]

Some brilliant material, hope he goes far

[@evanderholiday2535]

Funny guy, but actually a fucking bellend

[@SpicyTexan64]

He's actually a douchbag calling all Americans racist. No one in New York asks someone where they're from because they aren't white. That's all they'd be doing.

[@manashdb]

@@evanderholiday2535 lol why is he a bellend?

[@evanderholiday2535]

@@manashdb the essence of him is funny, his timing and delivery is good, but he attaches a crowd-pleasing, woke, leftist approach to almost anything he does. He can't even handle a light-hearted, classic, funny stereotype of an Indian cartoon shopkeeper without being offended. (A comedian getting offended, now that's irony). He's an advocate of cancel culture, just because it's something he doesn't find funny. That's why he's a bellend

[@bravetherainbow]

6:20 That is one of the most hilariously twisted jokes I've ever heard. Amazing.

One of my favorite conversations I've had on several occasions: Me: Tell me, what did Jesus call God? Them: I don't know. Me: Then tell me this: What was Jesus's native language? Them: Aramaic. Me: So what's the word for God in Aramaic? Them: I don't know. Me: It's "Allah".
