The Story of LORD GANESHA - Standup Comedy by Alex

A light-hearted narration of Lord Ganesha's story!
00:36 Story About a Big, Interesting Guy
01:22 Give it up for Lord Ganesha
01:35 IT Vinayagar
02:20 Story of Lord Ganesha
04:10 Lord Ganesha Guards the House
BTW, discussing God in a light-hearted manner is quite part of our literature and culture. Tamil grammer has a form called வஞ்சப்புகழ்ச்சி அணி (Praising by sarcasm). Our Bhakthi literature is full of 'Ninda - Stuti' - which is expressing devotion through humorous disrespect. Read more here :) -- nikhiletc.word... (Good blog @nikhiletc !)
In any case, check me out live in the upcoming 'Alex in Wonderland' world tour of India. Details at www.AlexInWonderland.in :)

[@waqarshaikh789]

I think everyone have their opinion and my opinion is it's bad to make fun of Lord . . Yaa I know I am Muslim but it doesn't matter it's just my opinion

[@srmashwani]

Why the hell it has to be about ANY religion? There are other topics as well. Why make fun of people's faith. And most of the time, Hindu religion is at the receiving end. People make fun of Hindu religion to get likes and popularity. Not cool

[@pravinprabhukeluskar3619]

Cool dude Now may God forgive you for this mischief. I can't change your thoughts but sure say that you will get many topic to do fun around but never do fun of emotions. Hindu replying to this as casual post must not have any objections if we does comedy skit on your family members.

[@bharatha7400]

@ALEX u r making trouble with this standup lets us c and wait till u troll jesus is this the way u make fun fr peoples

[@surya716]

Alex.. you rock man. Both the TamChris & Ganesh comedies. You are becoming an expert in picking up close to heart topics and managing to provide only comedy and not hurt the sentiments. Hats off! :) Becoming a theevira fan of yours!

[@vasut9029]

Do you have the guts to do stand up comedy on Allah or jesus

[@myraghavendran1]

hey Alex I found great talent and making others laugh it's fine. but put your mind on not to use about religious topics if you're really talented.

[@technowizards2105]

Amazing Alex. Becoming ur fan now. Don't worry for those hurting u with their comments. U continue. Great going man.

[@mA-fd3vu]

Sanghis on prowl

[@mohancharlu9153]

Omg ,Alex sir liked my comment . 😍 I love you sooooo much sir , I'm a kannadiga from Bangalore . Tamil is my second language . And you are sooo funny and such an inspiration . I learn Carnatic too . You're just the best comedian ever .. I've rewatched your Carnatic mamas joke hundreds of times and it still makes me crackup . Also , I know. I'm fangirling a lot and coming off as a 13 year old girl right now , but yea I'm 22 years old and I'm legit ,your biggest fan . Eagerly awaiting your next video 😍😍😍😍

[@Beerbicep-j7r]

I wanted to write something really bad about jesus but we Hindus are not like you . If you don't agree with our believes please don't disrespect them . Jai Shree Ram

[@ashrithharith3474]

Today anyone and everyone can make fun of Vedic scriptures and Indian beliefs. Say the same light comedy about Islam or Christ (which Alex has done, but not to this magnitude) and there is an uproar of intolerance. Why this hypocrisy ? !

[@arunkarthik1995]

Ashrith Harith the same guys said , you nailed it bro when he trolled Christians. now blaming him when he trolled urs

[@ashrithharith3474]

arun karthik he trolled Christians practices, but he didn't say a single word against Jesus Christ ? Why : because it's someone's faith. When it's about Indian beliefs and deities ; it's all to be taken easy !

[@arunkarthik1995]

ok take it easy ,he didnt added nothing out of the story, all he told is true right.

[@ashrithharith3474]

arun karthik oh yea, the story he told is right, very right : Parvathi in the shower; shiva calls her babe, and more. Did he call Christ dude then ? Will he dare to call mohammed bob? I'm very liberal at outlook, but this is outright double standard

[@motorcyclemonk5554]

lets wait till Christmas for the birth of Jesus .

[@tarunkaushik1550]

7:07 the most serious moment... 😁 And then a person cracks up unable to hold thyself back

[@krishnasekharsarma5254]

Bro.. Cool it is.. I really liked it. Just don't care what haters gonna say ... Although I am a Hindu and religious, I would request you to try making about the blind traditional Hindu rituals, as you made about your own religion.. There are many bro... Cheers bro. Keep going

[@dinesh-he2mz]

alex no one describe this story like you man....semaaaaa........

[@karthickdorai5768]

Loved the climax.. what men do when they were in the shower😂😂😂

[@إبنحوبج]

amazing comedy "it engineer" 😁

[@إبنحوبج]

Parth Gandhi This is not irrespective to any religion if you find any I apologize even Muslim comedians make jokes on our beloved prophet and we enjoy. since there is no any bad intention. it's about the view you see on either you are religiosity person or optimistic person

[@arvindansabapathy7287]

Hi Alex, can you please narrate a similar story in a humorous way from other religions like Muslim Christian Sikh Jainism Buddhism etc.. then it will be awesomely funny...

[@marabunta1980]

What offends me more is the idiots in the comments section. Especially the non Hindus who seem to use this video to promote their religion by down grading Hindus. Hinduism is the only religion that was adopted as a practice by the people. It was not forcefully propagated like some of the others. It flourished as a way of life for the civilized man. People were not converted or forced to follow Hinduism by *Bribe* or *Sword*

[@smithyanthaya]

Waiting for the day you make fun of Jesus and Allah :)

[@naveenvv6988]

Alex , Would also love to see a stuff about Jesus and his medical miracles😜

[@srikanths2741]

As you already touched Hindu and Christian stories, waiting for your stand up comedy on Muslim and Allah..Hoping that one also be a rocking as these..

[@sugarwick]

I am a Christian and certainly object to this comedy. Hindus are tolerant and many crack jokes which can be seen in movies. However you need to be more sensible when you do this as many who love Christians Will have a change. I know Muslims who respect our Hindu temples. Please stop copying the West. You have done well to keep the Indian accent. Be a complete Indian for Christ's sake. Stand up comedy in the West is very obscene. Be careful of the temptation to reach that level. This is the beginning of the end.

[@Dinesh-no1xw]

hindus may be tolerant, but that no where meant that you can just play with their believes nd community just like that. Though it is done for entertaining purpose, it would be better if no religion and gods get involved. Else it triggers up chaos.

[@vishwanathstorm]

@Alex: Enjoyed the video. Waiting for Jesus and Allah standup video. #GoAlexander

[@sanjehraman7843]

Are you out of creative ideas? This is not cool man. Very shallow and undignified.

[@pankaj52325]

I don't like this at all. It's not funny 👎👎👎

[@rohanlav]

Am waiting for Christmas video

[@vk9299]

Hi Alex, I absolutely enjoyed ur video on Lord Ganesha! I'm a proud Hindu and it does not bother me because I understand the true meaning behind Lord Ganesha's elephant head. However, I'm going to challenge you and maybe test to see if ur freedom of speech is indeed universal. No, ur answer as in blog Ninda-stuti is not enough. No, I won't accept the comic show you've on TamChris where you make fun of Christians (read: humans) going to Church. I don't think it's a fair equivalent to the Lord Ganesha video where you dragged in the core symbols of Hinduism. Here's my challenge: In the weeks leading upto Christmas, I'd like you to do a comic show involving the story of Lord Jesus and Christmas. I'd specifically appreciate your comic twist on the following beliefs: Jesus' virgin birth, substitutional atonement, eternal hellfire for non-believers, Jesus' magic healing, and Jesus coming back from the dead! Are you upto the challenge? Let us test your freedom of speech! Thank you and keep up the good work!

[@anupamaramesh7070]

Mr. Alex kindly use your talents to promote healthy comedy and sense of humour. Dont make a joke of others' beliefs and lives! Sad that educated and talented young people are turning to this! Young man u r not even worthy of talking about scriptures, this is what happens when u obtain knowledge from wiki and google

[@prasadkarkare]

How was jesus was born, by the way ??

[@04040707rr]

Nowadays people find fun in insulting someone.

[@sarathcr9915]

Hi Alex, Nice one... Try the same with other religions too... Just like you did this one... That will make this even ...

[@sivaramaJP]

He always mocked Hindu gods , as we are spineless and we think critising Hindu is fashion. Does he got guts to critise or make stand up comedy Muslims and christain?

[@srishankar]

Don't hurt others .. talk about your own ......

[@gayathri7470]

Without dealing with the meaning in the Vedic scriptures or the true facts its not funny to comment or on Gods . Sentiments would be hurt! Be aware ! It's not the time for everyone to laugh indeed

[@freeidiot]

@Alex: Nice try! You carefully changed the "Jesus, Harris and Tam Chris" video to something about Harris Jayaraj rather than mock Christian Gods. I would love you to see giving the same treatment that you gave to Lord Pillaiyar's story to Lord Jesus's story also. Care to give it a try? Or would that offend the sensibilities of many people? This is a serious question.

[@tigerthinesh2666]

Ellam k . Bro bt neraya mistake. Nenga shiva alithal tholil saigirara tamil la thappa purinjitu pesurenga, alithal na ilathavaraku padi alathal avargal valkaiku, shiva is nt a killing god he is giving god for each nd every human beings. Oru nalla petchalar nengal eni ithu pontra varalaru pesum pothu nalla theirnjitu pesunga ilati makkalta thappa convey agum

[@manojsethu2163]

This is real stupid! Distorting the real story and making a joke on Hindu God is not in good humour. Have you tried this with Jesus? Or Allah?

[@uksharma3]

Unless you have wanted to hurt some people's faith, it is not necessary to take Hindu Gods as a subject for your comedies. In this video you have said many false things. There is vast difference between destroyer and killer (refer the dictionary, if you do not know the correct meaning of these words.) You can go away with such jokes but if you are a person who respects peoples' sentiments, please remove this video.

[@darshanmarathe]

How you can comment and make jokes about gods mate. Shame shame shame I think this is a stupid act and you have heard religious sentiments of us Atleast God Ganesh did not went for some holy land he was doing what her mother asked him to do Because may be going crusend for Holy land is not a joke for you right killing lacks of people and eaying kids alive you will not make jokes on that right And we have good tollermce for you

[@akhildaskailas]

Not cool.. what comedy means?

[@04040707rr]

Please don't make fun of God and Goddess. You don't know anything abt these deities.

[@75snambi]

You have no business talking about Hinduism when you follow a foriegn religion. You are free to make fun of your own religion not others.

[@veekayvk]

WTF is wrong with the people in the comments? He didn’t speak ill of any of the gods. It’s the exact story we’ve been told.

[@shiva3553]

Ganesha birth story is quite similar to "virgin mary "giving birth to hippie without you know hhhmmm hhmm

[@skthirukkovalluru7471]

Excited to see ur "ninda stuti" for Xmas 😍😍

[@nithilapaavai3046]

what the hell are u talking about...please just know ur limits and think twice before u choose ur topic..we hindus are not shameless or spineless..

[@incubusk8r]

Hey Alex, when is the joke on Mohammad, Jesus or "virgin" Mary coming? probably never.

[@poonamabbi7448]

I would be RELLY APPRECIATIVE of his SENSE OF HUMOR if he spoke on the stage in the same n a light-hearted manner is quite part of our literature and culture, about THE OTHER 2 MAJOR RELIGIONS OF INDIA... CHRISTIANITY & ISLAM... Till then, HE & everyone else gets a THUMBS DOWN for EVERY SUCH COMEDY...

[@Arularul-ht5fu]

can you make a video about jesus and how your family converted to christian

[@SambathKumaar]

Nice act... But just to clarify, Shiva doesn't go out to kill folks... He apparently goes on meditation trips and not to kill essentially... Wrong point of view... Changes a lot when you look at it that way...

[@rguha5225]

if a comedian makes a jesus jokes , He will be forced to apologize. If a comedian makes a Mohammad jokes , Muslims will go on a murderous rampage. If a comedian makes a Ganesh joke , Hindus will applaud him !!

[@vickydev608]

Ravan Guha exactly bro

[@marabunta1980]

Ravan Guha sad but true bro...

[@rguha5225]

also about other religions , how they don't respect your religion & want to convert you. this results in Hindus giving one sided respect to other religion which don't respect Hinduism . We need to move towards mutual respect. we should respect other religions only if they respect your religion

[@venkatkrishnan3892]

Enjoyed every bit of it... Alex. We Hindus are a motley bunch who can joke about our Gods and pray to them at the same time. Probably the reason why we survived religious conversions across millennia. You may get a brickbats from a few prudes from the community who can't enjoy a joke. We are Hindus...we celebrate our Gods .. we don't fear them. Enjoy.

[@paapuwadde380]

Respect all religions.... If u expect others to respect ur religion then first give respect to all religions

[@advpankajmhatre]

What if we do some comedy on Jesus or mother Mary. will you tolerate that ?My friend making fun of Hindu gods / Religion become fashion

[@satyamtiwari9239]

I am proud of u Mr secular I am waiting for that video in which u will make fun of any other religion In this country. Plz don't make money by insulting Hindus and our culture. Now I came to know why u have such a lowest subscriber # you deserve

[@abhishekkonda5954]

I love to watch Jokes on Jesus Christ

[@subramaniamramasubramanian877]

I am Hindu and i don't find this offensive! I think he treads the line of being respectful and funny very well. Having watched his other videos as well, I really think the people that say he should stick to his own should stop seeing people through the lens of their religion exclusively. I doubt many Hindus would know and appreciate devotional and carnatic music as much as him.

[@pianoforme122]

wonder if this guy would see this comment. I enjoyed this but i want to see a video of him making jokes of the pope or christian saints. can you do that? btw ofcourse we all know he is a convert

[@MrJekyllDrHyde1]

Nice joke. Don't be bothered by easily offended people.

[@gangirameshnaidu5021]

respect religion bro

[@HameedAzar]

I agree with the hindus,using their God's to make jokes hurts sentiments. There is a limit to jokes on using other's sacred beliefs. I understand its joke but a poor one at that

[@vaishakshanmugham967]

Mr. Alex... Can you make fun of Jesus and Allah....

[@koolpron]

A small message for you 1 Corinthians 6:9 - 10 9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.?

[@MukeshWara-252]

[@arvinddhanapal2387]

So next time you'll come up with some Islam concept. huh??...lol ;). Keep rocking Alex..the expressive guy!

[@arcpd123]

this is the sad state of affairs of HIndus... in the name of being liberals and secular we have lost the mind to know where are the limits. Hindus feel laughing at our own culture and criticizing it makes us very modern and cool...

[@saividyasagarballi2916]

Hey I had respect for u and I really enjoy ur previous shows but please never take ur story on God's i personally felt like discriminating the culture dude. Don't cross that threshold

[@ketanastik7197]

Alex, mate I have liked your acts.. but this one is not.. you can't keep on making fun of my religion.. we tolerant doesn't me that you do it.. would like to see making fun of Muslims or Christians

[@karunanithishanmugam9963]

Alex, always had a huge respect for you and liked your humor sense. But this video hurts many people including me. I hope you see this resistance and take this video off. We don't like people disgracing our beliefs and the Gods... Our Gods are part of our lives, and when you tease/comment about them, it is getting personal...!

[@ragethewolf]

All religion are great and every religion has story which no one currently understands In Hindu culture all these stories signified respect a sons devotion to protect his mother, a father's hasty decision which leads to sin at his hands. There are many such stories created in order for us to learn from them on how a person should live. In Christianity also there are many such stories which we question now like Virgin Mary tell me in which way is that even possible and if so why they had to hide to give birth to Jesus. Yes now there are multiple stories to hide the reality but we choose to ignore the fact and move towards that man who tried to bring order to chaos and got crucified for the same. In Islam also prophet had to go through a lot to establish peace in a place that was at war and it was not easy cause that place was like that but no one questions what he did to achieve that peace. In short respect all religions at heart yes he is making joke about god's from the fact that he believes to be true and that is what he believes if you don't share the same belief than don't be offended and by being offended you are just humiliating your faith in the God by proving his point.

[@HarshPatel-qb9ph]

[@musicmanjunath]

Nice act ! Specially saying Ganesh is a IT guy :-) FYI - this story is about small mind ( kid head ) being destroyed by knowledge ( shiva ) and installing a huge mind ( elephant ). These stories always had hidden meaning

sorry to comment you such a way but I need to please read all the real story that is you needed not reading sample story and making fun of it in the hindu sastra there are many of sciences even scientist can't even understand there of several sciences included in our sastras and stories every line of stories you need to know a inner meaning that is the job given to him by parvathi he had done his job until his last breath once he promise to do something he will do in a simple to understand if u made a promise to make a show with some person is you try maximum to keep the promise to be get fulfilled in any situation that was hidden message in it so I dislike this video i am not doing this since u are a christian even an hindu talks like this i will also reply the but no hindu talk like this they know the reasoning behind this and somany follow also

[@ragapaddy]

Alex is definitely not religiously biased, I have heard some lovely renditions of tyagaraja and Dikshathar krithis by him. He has the thirukural in his house. If anything, in his yoga, music and to his friends, he pours his love too much.

[@anoj06]

I don't understand why Hindus are offended. He's not even making fun of the religion but just telling the exact story in a light hearted way. Sheesh. No wonder why we all fight for petty and stupid issues.

[@bilalrasheed8272]

When he cut the head of lord ganesh the parvati questions to lord shiva and then he ordered his followers to bring a head of any boy who is away from his mother. Then the followers started to search that kind of boy but guess what they found the small elephant who is away from his mother so they did it and bring the elephant head to lord shiva

[@hbkhari]

I'm a shiva follower but didn't find anything disgraceful.. Totally hilarious bro .. Good show 😂😂😂😂
