In my class there was a girl by the name of "Swastika" and in Indian culture it has a very deep and ancient meaning. But every time teacher called her name in class, I was like "oh man, she better not travel to Europe"
@@3wydreamer147 Actually Hitler had no need to go till India to find such a symbol. There are tons of ancient Swastika symbols in Albania (mosaic). Also hexagrams, symbol that look like ying yang symbol, a moon & star (like found in many flags of muslim states, a symbol that had nothing to do witj Islam but turned out as a symbol of islam during Ottoman empire), and many other symbols that you'll find around the globe in other cultures.
I’m white, but named my daughter Anjali, because I heard it in a Bollywood movie and loved the name. it confuses the hell out of Indian people. I’m Italian and her father is Mexican, so they ask about 30 questions trying to figure out where the hell I got the name from, and don’t believe us that we don’t have any Indian relatives 😂
You know, another funny thing yet historical fact is that, my people, the English, didn't consider Italians as White in the more ancient part of History😅

Then a seasoned nurse replied, "I'm sure someone does, but they're not likely to admit it."

I swear to god in the year 2010 I was enrolled at Middlesex University in London. There was a guy who was Afghani or Turkish or something whose name was genuinely "Ufuk" pronounced as "Oohfukh". In one of our classes we were to do a group assignment and the teacher who was an old Chinese man divided us into groups of 4. He was reading out the names and when he got to Ufuk he loudly started calling out "YOU FUCK, YOU FUCK WHERE IS YOU FUCK". Funniest shit ever, he did this in front of about 200 students in a lecture hall.
There was an Indian girl who worked at a servo near me called Amandeep. Every time I saw her name badge I would mentally finish that with "inside me" XD

I was watching the cricket world cup a while back, and I'm NOT even kidding here, I saw the name hardik on the screen. I remembered that Russell Peters roasted his name, and legit spit out my soda XDDDD
This was such a low-key great Russell Peters moments!!! I remember hearing it so long ago when I was young but didn't appreciate it then like I just did now ... when watching it now as an adult I really think this is one of my favorite Russell Peters moments! When I was younger and I first heard this I focus on this sukhdeep part of it... but now I appreciate the part about his name and how it is very unindian. My name is Devin Thomas and both of my parents are from India and I am first generation American. But my name doesn't sound Indian just like Russell Peters.... And then when he said his name means to make a noise I really understood now how smart and funny that joke was omg!!!! I'm dying hahaha
I don't know, all of his race jokes start getting a bit old if you keep watching him, its the only sort of jokes he can manage, hes more into shock value then actual comedy.
Russell Peters was the first comedian I ever saw, back in 2005 in the land of the pirated DVDs one of his specials was circulating the country, didn't see much of him after cause no Google at the time. Eventually in the time of the TH-cam I started watching other comedians from Carlin to Rogan to Jefferies to Segura but Russell's brand of comedy was always unique and never not funny to me.
There was Google at the time, his famous special was uploaded to Google videos which was more popular then TH-cam for most of 2005 until Google bought TH-cam. Thats what made him so famous, it was the somebody gonna get a hurty real bad special.
@@Mike--Oxmall I live in Fiji mate. Google was something we got to use when we went to the two urban cities on the island and paid to use the Internet at a net cafe once or twice a year. I saw Russell Peters on DVD.
0:14 - Russell, it seems to me that the Audience members were *PLANTED* for that joke, because I cannot see how 3 Indians in 2 Separate rows would have known to Wag their Finger so animately on Cue.
As a half Ukrainian half arab my name is Arabic "Qusai" which comes from Word aqsa but in Russian it means "bite" and you're commanding someone to do it XD
3:17 i just realized if Russell would've asked Preb's brother's (instead of sister's) name and said herbal, the joke that followed would have made a lot of sense (a guy can be named Harbal/Herbal).
In the army we had a lieutenant named Stålem, which basically means boner. "Stå" means to stand, while "lem" means limb or member. It's more common to say "ståpikk", (pikk is basically the Norwegian equivalent to "dick", so "ståpikk" becomes "standing dick") but "stålem" works as well.
He picked two random guys from the audience and still they have names like Aneet and Prabhjyot. I mean, those names are unique even here too. I was hoping them to be more like Rakesh or Sanjay or Sandeep.😁😁
Made my day today (2/11/2020). After watching the video, and get here to read all the comments which even make me to laugh out loud. Lol. Best comments here ever!

“The Italian part of India” do you mean New Jersey?

Marissa Maygoo, Sorry

I went to school with a Dikshit Patel, no joke! He's on point! 😂😂

Russell: Who the hell names their kid Hardik?
Parents who named their kids Hardik: Are we a joke to you?
Hardik means hearteous, dimvit! Its just like how silly your name means in Hindi.
@@mavenqualityassurancecouns6128 not Hindi its Sanskrit.
@@prajwalkannadiga8737 It means the same in Hindi, Marathi ,pali , Sanskrit,kannada and many others . We Marathi people use it in daily conversation. That guy is probably s Hindi speaker, so he used his own language as reference
HERBAL ESSENCE😁
I had a friend named Michael Hunt and he always insisted we never introduce him as 'Mike...'
I legit have a friend named Sukhdeep and a friend named Hardik. Lol.
Simran Kaur hope you shared the laughter.
Offcourse u r a Sikh girl
You are SIM RUN
And neither of those are pronounced the way you think 🙄 Get over yourself
@@shubbadubba obviously I know that you idiot. This comment is two years old. How far down in the comment section did your bored self have to scroll down to see a two year old comment? 😂😂😂😂😂
roasted my name too :-)
it means "From the heart"
Is it a male name because if it is I can tell you I would love to date somebody with your name lol and then introduce that person to my friends and family that would be hilarious🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well it is blood circulation related 🤣❤️😂
Indians are effortlessly funny lmao 😂😂😂
@@IrenaDeacon Right after you will tell his indian name to your parents, he will tell-"My name is Larry. Nice to meet you!"
@@stas33309 lol
I swear to god in the year 2010 I was enrolled at Middlesex University in London. There was a guy who was Afghani or Turkish or something whose name was genuinely "Ufuk" pronounced as "Oohfukh". In one of our classes we were to do a group assignment and the teacher who was an old Chinese man divided us into groups of 4. He was reading out the names and when he got to Ufuk he loudly started calling out "YOU FUCK, YOU FUCK WHERE IS YOU FUCK". Funniest shit ever, he did this in front of about 200 students in a lecture hall.
Korean family name Lee is actually pronouced 'i' and Park is pronounced 'bak' in Korea.
There was an Indian girl who worked at a servo near me called Amandeep.
Every time I saw her name badge I would mentally finish that with "inside me" XD
Lol!!!
LOL
It's sad that most Indians have forgotten about the Anglo-Indians. Many of them migrated to Australia and Canada after the British left bit their are still many around in Bombay, Calcutta and South India.
We know about them.
We had constitutional provisions for them. 2 seats were reserved for them. Now the provision has ended.
what's there to remember, they are just normal people like any other Indian. Or just some Indian practicing Christianity.
ruined the life of hardik pandya the cricketer
surbhit mathur and mycarrs alrusty
surbhit mathur your name sounds like SUBJECT MATTER
surbhit mathur 😂😂😂
surbhit mathur a
how about Baldik?
I was watching the cricket world cup a while back, and I'm NOT even kidding here, I saw the name hardik on the screen. I remembered that Russell Peters roasted his name, and legit spit out my soda XDDDD
Hardik Pandya rings a bell?
*"Hey yo, man.......you Sukhdeep?"*
"Sometimes....."
LOL!!!!
Guys Hardik has a great meaning, he just says that way only for laugh.
Hardik means Cordial, heartfelt,unpretentious
No one cares. 😅😅
@ rite
This was such a low-key great Russell Peters moments!!! I remember hearing it so long ago when I was young but didn't appreciate it then like I just did now ... when watching it now as an adult I really think this is one of my favorite Russell Peters moments! When I was younger and I first heard this I focus on this sukhdeep part of it... but now I appreciate the part about his name and how it is very unindian. My name is Devin Thomas and both of my parents are from India and I am first generation American. But my name doesn't sound Indian just like Russell Peters.... And then when he said his name means to make a noise I really understood now how smart and funny that joke was omg!!!! I'm dying hahaha
I can watch any of his stand up and laugh. He's hilariously
He's the KING of stand up comedy mahn..! 😍😘😁😎😂😂
I don't know, all of his race jokes start getting a bit old if you keep watching him, its the only sort of jokes he can manage, hes more into shock value then actual comedy.
This is one of the funniest stand up comidy shows I have ever seen
I had a chinese colleague who was called Fuk Mi. Each time I needed to call her, I couldn't keep it straight :)
Russell Peters was the first comedian I ever saw, back in 2005 in the land of the pirated DVDs one of his specials was circulating the country, didn't see much of him after cause no Google at the time.
Eventually in the time of the TH-cam I started watching other comedians from Carlin to Rogan to Jefferies to Segura but Russell's brand of comedy was always unique and never not funny to me.
There was Google at the time, his famous special was uploaded to Google videos which was more popular then TH-cam for most of 2005 until Google bought TH-cam. Thats what made him so famous, it was the somebody gonna get a hurty real bad special.
@@Mike--Oxmall I live in Fiji mate. Google was something we got to use when we went to the two urban cities on the island and paid to use the Internet at a net cafe once or twice a year. I saw Russell Peters on DVD.
How sukhdeep (Sookh-dheep) becomes Suckdeep in English cracks me up, poor guy must have to explain it every time. 😅
How come Indians don’t support your comedy? Over 1 billion of them and just 1 million subscribers? You deserve and should have way more. Wake up India
Meaning of the name Anit is 'Joyful unending'
0:14 - Russell, it seems to me that the Audience members were *PLANTED* for that joke, because I cannot see how 3 Indians in 2 Separate rows would have known to Wag their Finger so animately on Cue.
oh the theory guy
Its not uncommon to happen. Many shows do it.
This Russell Peter guy is really Funny, i hope he’ll be a Great Comedian One Day
Now I know how those Russian plumbers felt when they were making fun of his name 😂😂😂
I've finished watching the video an hour back but still laughing by looking at the comments 😂
LOL we have a Washington sundar. 😂😂
The very next line of that act (which they cut out ) was “What if Hardik and Sukhdeep became friends, could you imagine that ?” Lol🤣😂
As a half Ukrainian half arab my name is Arabic "Qusai" which comes from Word aqsa but in Russian it means "bite" and you're commanding someone to do it XD
Hey yo, you sukhdeep? that part got me 🤣🤣🤣
My people my culture ... Love it !! 😍
You bloody Indian culture fuckers
3:17 i just realized if Russell would've asked Preb's brother's (instead of sister's) name and said herbal, the joke that followed would have made a lot of sense (a guy can be named Harbal/Herbal).
Indians with non-Indian names have British heritage.
Russell has an English ancestor, probably someone who was in the British Navy stationed in India.
In the army we had a lieutenant named Stålem, which basically means boner. "Stå" means to stand, while "lem" means limb or member. It's more common to say "ståpikk", (pikk is basically the Norwegian equivalent to "dick", so "ståpikk" becomes "standing dick") but "stålem" works as well.
He picked two random guys from the audience and still they have names like Aneet and Prabhjyot. I mean, those names are unique even here too. I was hoping them to be more like Rakesh or Sanjay or Sandeep.😁😁
I love the audience participation!
I absolutely LOVE an Indian accent. It is the sexiest accent in the world. 🙏💗🥰😘
Amazing how easily he mutilates pronunciation into slapstick, and makes millions 😄
I am also from Kolkata Russell...Good to see you..😊😊😊
Great on the spot comedy now thats class!
Seen this video before! Russell Peters is fucking awesome!! One of my favorite comics!!
"Anit? See, that's a neat name" golden
I love the way he can 'work the crowd'!
That taunting laugh from a black guy at 1:59 always gets me .🤣
Made my day today (2/11/2020). After watching the video, and get here to read all the comments which even make me to laugh out loud. Lol. Best comments here ever!
I met an Indian guy called Ashit,lovely chap.
If you met him back would you greet with, "Ashit, here we go again"?
Lol
After watching this video I kinda think my name is not gonna leave a good impression in English countries 😂
😂😂
