Monopoly was intentionally created as a critique of unregulated capitalism

[@Oclypse]

beat me to it

[@kabochaVA]

Comedy is easy. All you need to do is resist the urge of being factual and doing even the most basic of research.

[@jamilbarbee6169]

As a kid, you like monopoly because you can have everything

[@anjobanjo1221]

Yes, and then it was purchased by a corporation and monetized.

[@rosen9425]

The only problem with Monopoly is the lack of customer perspective. You are now forced to pay me 16 million because I've built houses. What!? I'll forfeit a round and pick somebody else's cheaper tile instead, thank you.

[@333Vampirewillrule33]

He holds the mic so low you can't imagine how loud he is in person

[@CaptainAMAZINGGG]

He's not that loud tbh. Until he ERUPTS with laughter seemingly unexpected even to him. Is notably louder than his talking or slightly shouty voice. ;)

He's not funny, if you see him on panel shows with real comedians he's completely out of his depth, he'll disappear with the BBC.

[@sadmanpranto9026]

Maybe I have low standards but I actually enjoyed this piece while everyone in the comment section yanking him. I'm still a bit confused, I don't see this much negative comments even in Amy Schumer videos she's practically the most unfun person ever... She'd be less boring if she just silently stood there saying nothing...

Yup 😈

[@aubreyfeatherston]

But like, I’m sure they could’ve looked it up. Why assume at all? And if they couldn’t find the answer, ask a different question!

[@Josh-rn1em]

I really doubt that was the question. I think he made it up because it fits his joke. Even if true, it was a question that would have been picked from many. Why would they have picked that one? Why would you ask a question like that? To a comic? Nah, it's definitely bs he made up

[@xyzct]

His mom calling him a comedian was an example of right-wing humor.

[@DapzLive]

who needs golf claps when you have cricket boos :P

[@xxxxx103]

For me, the problem with his comedy is, he doesn't do the regular kind of comedy. Whenever I've watched, him I feel he explains a situation in great length too much, not enough straight forward funny stuff. And for me he talks too frequently about certain subjects, of which politics is one. A comedian should get loads of laughs constantly, he gets just a few. I wonder if the whole booing thing at that charity do he attended will affect his career....?

[@hetrodoxlysonov-wh9oo]

He has one joke, white bad black good, that's why the BBC love him and ratings don't matter.

i think nish kumar finds it hard to write non-political material

[@CaptainAMAZINGGG]

I think nish finds it hard to not think in this manner, in the first place. It basically oozes out of him even when not necessary. Like, he always ends up going there, even when not prompted.

[@zurzulzurzul3119]

Politically correct comedy is something of an oxymoron. I came here via Andrew Schulz talking about "comedians looking for claps, not laughs". Nothing could better demonstrate that than Nish Kumar.

[@jacksbob8746]

Left wing comedian. So much talk than jokes.

[@andrewjohnson6716]

Jokes aside, and his jokes are hilarious, that was the POINT of Monopoly. The game was created by a left-wing thinker to educate people about how Capitalism, left unchecked, will always result in monopolies. That’s why we need anti-monopolies laws in the first place.

[@rynehall9990]

No, he just didn't get to use his favorite token one time and never got over it

He is reasonably eloquent but his rant just isn’t funny . It’s a shame that genuinely funny brown comedians such as Russell peters , Danny bhoy and paul choudry are largely ignored by the mainstream

Now I understand why he bombed so hard at that charity event.....the audience was right to boo him if this is his material.

[@yorgunsamuray]

Left wing action movies exist, just in the ex-Eastern Bloc. Maybe they're still making them in North Korea. The depictions of Muhammad were banned in Islam to prevent idolatry, from the fear that depictions would lead to worshiping them.

Politics is only funny if you’re Ricky Gervais (and he’s not)

[@CaptainAMAZINGGG]

It's not funny then either tbh. Tho I quite like Ricky, in general. I like nish way more, as a person. For some reason, I like his other things he does more than his standup. He's funny in general, more so when things just happen from out of him. Spontaneity seems to be his friend.

[@blackbaby6977]

i kinda liked it. i wish it wasn't so political tho.

[@CaptainAMAZINGGG]

I like when he's on task master or big fat quiz, cats does countdown, hypothetical etc. And he was in a show (I think) called Joel and nish vs the world, and he quickly became like, my favourite person from my seeing him in that (and from his love island bit on hypothetical lol). I dont so much like his stand-up, as I dont like political things lol. But I also found that I apparently really like him as a person (eventho he tends to be politically-minded). He's also extremely silly amd ridiculous, and thus, hilarious, and has made me cry laugh tbh. He also seems quite lovely and caring and like a really amazing person. It's too bad ppl feel to judge so harshly, based on his being of differing opinion etc and so deciding he must be hated. When he's such a nice and actually awesome dude. Who is indeed actually naturally funny on its own.
