Understanding the Indian male Homo sapien: Amit Tandon at TEDxTughlaqRd

Sung and unsung heroes, local and national, share their diverse gifts with an inspired audience at TEDxTughlaqRd. TEDxTughlaqRd follows the celebrated TED format of brilliant curation, multidisciplinary talks and performances and power packed sessions of 'ideas worth spreading.'An awaited TEDx event on the Delhi calendar- TEDxTughlaqRd brings to you an evening of pure inspiration.
An Engineer, an MBA from IIT-Delhi, Amit Tandon took the path less taken of a stand-up comedian as he was driven by the thrill to make people laugh. Comedy gives him the opportunity to share his pains with the world and earn some money in the process. He is also the Host for Grandmasters of Comedy, one of the longest running Stand Up Comedy shows in India. He is Managing Director, Empyrean Partners (HR Consulting Firm) and also a Partner @ Mind Cafe, First Board Games cafe of India.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that brings people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

This is was posted in 2014 he is not repeating, it was his first time speaking that content for the first time to different audiences. He is a respected comedian with his non vulgar comedy and i think we should appreciate it.

[@rajorshitapas1623]

Yes I also completely agree on that

[@rajatmishra3503]

Amit Tandon.....u r really a great stand-up comedian......your episode of Indian school and kids was just awesome.......

I listened to your talk on Peer Pressure. As always I enjoyed. My experience is I could never fathom for all my below their expectation performance in studies the refrain was पढ़ ले नहीं तो नौकरी नहीं मिलेगी!!! I could never understand why they always said Naukri and not success in any business. Than I realised one day it was bcs we were ruled for for 1000 yrs so it is in our blood to be somebody's nauker only not master. By the way I m too a punjabi.

[@Wolf-ph9xt]

Practical, funny and just brilliant.. type of talks that keep the viewer and audience glued..

[@AmrikSingh-st4vo]

You are one of the best standup Comedian I have ever come across. You are a SUPERB

[@rekhachordia]

Leaving all the stress and laugh for a while..a good medicine indeed😀

[@shakuntalasharma9060]

in simple words "AWSOME"

[@madhubalajoshi2466]

Thank Amit Tandon! You have the knack for pointing out the hilarity of our seemingly sedate lives.

[@KrishnaGupta-kp6zu]

Amit, really liked the video. I follow you and have heard some of the jokes but always laugh when I hear them. Thanks for elevating my mood when needed.

[@aghosal119]

Hats off to you man .... for winning a TEDx crowd with your comedy ... :-)

What audience is this? Why aren't they laughing? You are fantastic even though i have heard your these jokes so many times we still keep watching them again and again. You are fantastic👍👌

[@ankurchopra3009]

It's because it's a TedX talk and not his usual stand up crowd

[@Priya-ks8ut]

After he said about Mumtaz got one monument, he expected everyone to laugh but surprisingly no one did. He became little nervous after that and repeated his old joke😆

[@satyavachan7099]

Exactly!! Have never seen him getting nervous before.

[@dibyaru124]

That's because the community and liberals can't accept jokes of Islam but happily laugh at other jokes on other community. 😊😊

[@meenupawar6311]

Too good

[@91rummy]

I wanted to go on a trip alone, before a couple of months I got married.. I told my parents and my mom said.. I will come with you.. and dad said let mom come with you.. but I stressed I wanted to go alone and think for myself all alone.. mom was like I will not disturb you.. I finally gave up the idea..

[@hemanshuchudasama3535]

It's not safe alone

[@rtanwar6976]

great amit ji....

[@madhusush80]

Audience is so so dead.. I know there are a lot of repetitive jokes but still I enjoyed it... I think audience is making you nervous

[@drsanjaygulati]

good stuff.

[@swift150_67]

Amith Ji, loved the video❤👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼 awesome it is... Audience were little dumbo I think, some places they didnt react as usual... But it's awesome 👌🏼thank you, God bless you❤🙏

[@rtanwar6976]

agreed with aarti ji

[@nehamny]

Hey Amit, You r really good and stand apart from all others, many of those r using only foul lingo to create humor at lack of content.. Keep that up and bring in more... All the very best!!

[@imtesaalahmed2159]

Foul lingo and humour don't even sound correct in one sentence, how can it be a 'comedy trick'?

[@madhumatipatil6275]

I really like ur shows. May u achieve great success. I know its not easy to make people laugh. Keep up the good work

[@AM-tz3ew]

[@pras1966]

Good comedy..wondering for the first few minutes when he was talking about Akbar, there was more silence.. people did not laugh out loud..is it because they didn't enjoy or they were afraid of even laughing as it would be perceived derogatory ?

[@anupande3427]

he performed good with hindi..

[@human6729]

About colors it's true. In WOmen they have more color filters. Really. It's scientific as its assumed that they used to gather fruits or veggies etc.. So knowing exactly colour was very important at those times that's still programmed in our brain

[@CP-qn3tu]

First 3 mins fell flat

[@nidhisingla7628]

Amit request you to not to repeat the stuff..... Have been following ur videos, so finding repetitive stuff, is little annoying...

[@mcsrao3950]

True, all repeat stuff + "You Know", "You Know", "You Know"...

[@pps2919]

Teach them Hindi cos not all jokes will have the same humour when u translate, most of them would fall flat.

[@brightbugs]

Can u make jokes? Respect people who can make people laugh!

[@Shadowgamersince1985]

Clearly.. Amit is nervous and blabbering. Happens

[@chittraposwalia3987]

Amit sir aapko video daily dekhti hu bt english jyada hoti h, please speak inhindi,

[@akg.69]

Why he seems nervous in this video?

[@greenpath26]

Abhishek Gupta it’sa 2014 video.. after doing it over and over for so many years one develops the confidence that he now has. Really like his clean comedy

[@subhashshedge4368]

Set was too good but crowd was so boring as if they don't understand what's going on lol

[@ASYadav49]

👍🏻

[@kagazaurkalam-sirajali2338]

amit sir your jokes is repeated ...something new

[@robertcraig2662]

Sir u should have appeared on the laughter challenge not ted talks

[@kartikrai9623]

Rudra Bali he is a stand-up comedian.

[@shamanfox5314]

Rudra Bali he does appear.. But talk on peer pressure was much needed.. And no one else other than him could have delivered the talk better on this issue.. Not all intelligent talks have to sound serious.

[@Rajeshkumar-gm5we]

Kartik Sharma fffhvj

[@amitkmaurya]

what are you trying to prove man... This video doesn't look like a Ted talk...

[@na-hg3ch]

okay but generalising ALL INDIAN MALES is funny , india is huge , lets respect that

[@anagvenker]

Repeat telecast

[@human6729]

This is because of what society thinks of being successful. If in a society money only or economic profit becomes the sole objective then obviously the person who is more equipped to do is male as he does need to be present and make children learn etc.. So if u see in ancient india the goal of society was not economic profit so people never thought anything about as such. But now women can at least go on job as technology has made man's brawn useless so now women can work and earn a living. For more wisdom u need sadhguru videos. Don't judge me or him by one video.. OK. And then comment.

[@sandhyarao5751]

See

[@aperson2020]

This is heavily stereotyped. He has become a lot better since his beginning as comedian

[@nishthavashisht3791]

ye to whi bat hogyi 😂 ldke ki sbse bdi achievement h ki peda hogya

[@mcsrao3950]

"You Know", "You Know", "You Know", "You Know"... It's very annoying YOU KNOW to hear "You Know" for half of the duration of the video.

[@chandrashekharkumar4820]

English me wo feeling nahin aati

[@meghanawagh7991]

Poor thing! Akbar didn't know one simple biological fact that its the father who is responsible for the gender of the child, not the mother. No point in having 300 women in haram.

[@proudhindugirl4740]

Repetitive content from past videos

[@deveshtripathi7668]

Highly disappointed by seeing this video on Tedx. This is more of a standup comedy than an idea one would expect in Ted. I guess this guy would get other better platform to showcase his comical talent than Ted.

[@tejthebeast]

+Devesh Tripathi Stand-up comedy isn't just about acts with jokes and mimicry. Satire is one of its aspects as well as shown in this video.

[@jitendrachaudhary3532]

Devesh Tripathi then probably you didn't understand what he's trying to say.. Sarcasm is also effective form of communication through which we can deliver the message to the people easily & in humorous way

[@ritupriyasingh9758]

He is delivering a social message...pay attention and stop criticizing

[@shubhamraut1039]

This was supposed to be a TED Talk. Not a stand up comedy show!

[@tejthebeast]

Read the title once again. It is not a TED talk but a TEDx talk. Control your pseudo-intellectual self and have a laugh.

[@AnkurPal1]
