BROTHER vs OTHER | Vir Das | Stand-Up Comedy |

[@thevirdas]

So apparently i'm crap at titling videos. We changed it to Brother vs Other unless you people who know amazing things about the algorithm have a better suggestion? I would appreciate your spreading the world for this digitally irrelevant fellow :-) and yeah...comment for the algo and stuff.

Vir Das. I CONSUMED you for hours and hours last evening and today (I've always been a fan), and I'm just so overwhelmed (in the best possible way) by your intelligence, by how well informed you are, the way you rep the country globally like no other celebrity with your knowledge of everything from statistics to history, literally EDUCATING ppl while you make them laugh and HOW - punch after punch after fucking punch! And the balls of steel that you have baba. Comfortable with uncomfortable topics, sensitive with, well, sensitive topics, and funny as hell through it all! Okay I truly believe that noone reps India the way you do (and this seems like a good time to acknowledge the fact that YOU were in an American TV show first, yes?). Oh and I also truly believe that if everyone in the country heard you talk about everything you do talk about - from feminism, inclusivity, politics and all the way to history, statistics and the whole world, not only would people learn shit, but would also be better people! Shit, I've never commented on anything before.. Not with so much passion at least! But you deserve love, adulation, respect and SO MUCH MORE! You, I think, are the most intelligent man not just in comedy, but like in general, in the country and the world and shit! Lots of love and respect.

The 4th pillar 'media' is the first bullet fired in a war. if my guess is correct. I will leave the rest of the meaning up to you mate. Thinking hard about these things is important for us all.

Saying this again man, I hope you read this. I miss old Vir Das. My mom listens to everything you say but through an old guy wearing robes and sitting on a gigantic throne, talking in a native toung to the crowd who is there just to cheer everything he says. Please don't be that guy; atleast some times. This is not me being a comedy expert, but just your, once loyal, customer trying to give you an honest feedback. Maybe I am no longer your target audience, but I still hope to see the Vir again who would make me laugh more than cheer. Will keep coming back to find that Vir though. Love!

[@hhawkins8391]

This guy will be huge this year. I have never seen someone so compelling, funny and great at communicating while keeping the mood light despite the heavy topics. Truly incredible. Made of the stuff of the greatest. I'm so glad I found him. Greetings from Italy.

[@TitoSumit]

“For a global conflict to occur or for the war to occur, you need two things: 1:25 You need old men with power and young men with hatred. Very tough to pull off, right? Because the only thing that the young men want is the power of old men. And only thing that powers old men is the hatred of the young.” Damn Vir, how do you pull off such finesse in your writing every single time? :)) You're always raising the bar. ❤
