Vipul Bhaiyya OP
Mazze mat lo, inspire hoke naya video nikalo aap bhi
Fight club ka Crux presented as a stand up bit 🤥
Vipul bhaiyaa masti main
A comic who is philosophical and practical at the same time..
A visionary comedian who is way ahead of our times..
He knows how to sarcastically point out the hollowness of the society..
He is more of a Munshi Premchand of the comedy world...
Kudos to you Punit Pania 🙏👏
“Sir hum logon ko allowed hain kya?”.. what a slap to the privileged class!! Amazing set!!
Recently I was waiting to check in for my flight at the airport. 2 guys came to me and asked me the procedure for all the entire trip they would take now. Clearly, they were travelling first time. I was very happy for them. Suddenly while talking for a moment one of them said, “dada yahan to koi dhang se baat nai karta”. Then, looked around a bit, and I realised quickly, lock down has added a lot of first time travellers to the airports particularly from lower income group. The airport staffs were little different while talking to them. Then I thought, why these guys approached me?
I think it’s bcoz of my looks. Then I felt happy. At least I look like the majority of India and I have not changed in all these years. With that connecting flight I was leaving India in some hours.
Wow ! Bikash Mahraj, I really love it when you said you are happy to look like a common citizen of our beautiful nation.
I almost wept out of joy.
All my life (I am an old man) I watched such graceful common people toiling hard as construction workers or jobs (without which our nation will simply stop) ... one needs to just watch them and behind the apparent dust or grime is a totally unconscious BEAUTIFUL HUMAN.
Very hard hitting..instead We get so happy when people tell us, you don't look like an Indian.. Very sad

The punchline of the whole video for me was "imagine it's not just the price which is a barrier to feel like a human being in this country".. Simply brilliant.. A true comedian knows how to convey irony thru satire, and u were bang on target punit 👍🙏
Only comedian who is roasting his viewers on their behaviour not on looks
Fact baaten karte hain isliye to bahut logon ko bura lag jata h munawar ho ya Kunal kamra ho
And not on relationship status

Thoda sikiye inse..app b upload kare videos hum middle class apka show nai afford kar payenge.
Shame that the grow up go be a Consumer line didn't land. God bless that lady who laughed usually im also dying at that line!
So true😂😂that line was epic,but only 1 lady got it in the entire audience
Enough of the awkwardness was served before that, so they were in a constant dilemma to laugh or wait for the mass validation. They were supposed to tho.
That lady is laughing from the first second of the video ... Made me sick and irritated 🤣
Huge fan of your.
A guy asked a girl in a library: Do you mind if I sit beside you? The girl replied with a loud voice: I DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE NIGHT WITH YOU! All the students in the library started staring at the guy, he was embarrassed. After a couple of minutes, the girl walked quietly to the guy's table and said: I study psychology and I know what a man is thinking, I guess you felt embarrassed right? The guy responded with a loud voice: $500 FOR ONE NIGHT? THAT'S TOO MUCH! All the people in the library looked at the girl in shock. The guy whispered in her ears: I study Law and I know how to make someone feel guilty.

I am crying instead of laughing. Thankyou for making me feel normal about my existence and the stupidity that is lurking everywhere in my country
Nietzsche fan? Of course you liked this video. 😂😂
Your profile picture tells that
You have always been crying Nietzschu babu 😂😂
I cried too! this man is outstanding!
It's not comedy. It's that he is bringing each and every serious concerns in front of everyone. There is a real pain in his voice.
Yeah, if you are all ears to him you can see it in his eyes.
Beautiful ❤️
Wtf... Where is the tick bro😶
Thanks Bhai :)
@@PunitPania I love your content so much that I have booked ticket for your show even though I wasn't in Bangalore to attend still booked because good content needs love and support and yes apart from above said time never missed your Bangalore show.
Where is the tick
I am Pakistani but I can relate to everything you just said,,sadly this is the reality in both countries,,and we are fighting and making bombs to destroy each other rather than feeding the needy
Pakistan is controlled by military, people should protect to get full control of country to government not army.then their will be peace.
@@__________________________1030 and india is being controlled in the name of cows and mandir wahi banega....
We are not interested in building best university or creating jobs for unemployed..
@@__________________________1030 Idiotic much. Ye farm laws mein robotics aur ai kaha se aa gaya. Even in western countries where we have free markets here there is no AI. All there is, is a sophisticated food value and delivery chain which is predicted. It can nevertheless be done in India and does not need any farm laws.
As for robotics, which I assume you are mentioning about upgraded machinery is a result of streamlining processes which can be done even now in big farms unless you want small farmers to loose their land and the power be consolidated in the hand of large farmers and Industrialists.
Don't throw around words you don't understand and stop speaking out of your ass. You are better suited to learning only RSS prachars so concentrate on that.
@@__________________________1030
Farm laws should focus on benefiting the farmers (that's what the govt also claims). But in reality, it is designed to benefit corporates. And now you are sayings farm laws will create jobs in robotics and AI ? You're funny 😂😂😂
And what is stopping the corporate from bringing latest technology in agriculture now? They don't need farm laws for that!

Hahaha yes!

Geez.. I just commented and scrolled down to find your comment. 😄 couldn’t agree more man!

The paap and plastic reminded me of George Carlin... Couldn't agree more..

Friend Aditya Mohanty by sitting and pausing you surely must have made Gautam Buddh happy ... a pause and self-reflection will always do us good.
Thank you ... you did universe a favour. We all need to learn from you to introspect.
I am ok whether people choose to learn from their deities of choice or a living human ... just as long people learn and grow ... we all perish eventually, all we can attain is grow while alive.
I can't figure out whether to laugh at the satire or cry at the reality or be amazed at how beautifully Punit carried it or just feel sad that the audience wasn't so active (except that lady who laughed in between all along!)
Bhai I couldn't laugh
I wish we get more of this
George Carlin: “it’s the duty of the comedian is to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately.”
This set reminded me of Carlin as well.
And look where it got Munnavar Faruqui.
amazing
he even looks little like him
@@bhuwannainiwal7209 Carlin off the coke...😂 I don't know if pania likes acid...
It's one of those sets which a comic doesn't do for audience but for himself and the people (other comics) who can actually respect it !!! Killed it bro !!!
There would come a time when history will refer to your style of comedy and say that " Look this guy told you" , all you did was laugh.
Deep and contemplative jokes.
Thank you. You are an inspiration
If Punit wore a rudraksh and a robe, started a foundation and delivered the same lines with longer pauses, he would be the ultimate nemesis to all the Gurus out there in the market. He is intelligent beyond words, sarcastic to the T,immensely likeable and wickedly witty. I adore this guy! ❤️❤️
Agar gyan nahi hai toh gyani ka apmaan toh mat kariye. Guru koi bhi aise hi nahi ban sakte.
This is what guilty laughter means. You are laughing at the jokes, but he joke is on you. If only we thought about the hidden message the 95% may gain something from it :)
" Humko wahan pe allowed hai kya ? " hits hard .
Yeah bro it hit me so hard. I am feeling damn sad right now 😢

It started with flight and then the video has took off
It's not standup, it's a wakeup call.
My longest video yet, this one has been more than 2 years in the making. Share with people you agree with and disagree with.

"Agla pm tik tok se aayega, and then you will miss this guy" superb part
Mind blowing. Amazed by the punches one after other. Wanted to keep on listening to the witty thoughts. Thanks for this Punit. Please keep sharing more of it!
Facts becoming funny ... Punit pania superb job
Delhi show ka link nahi hai🙄🙄🙄
Sold out ho gya yaa ab tak add nahi hua???
Ps i know us hii link pr sab ka hai
I couldn't find delhi in the list there.....
Bhai when for HYD
Am I the only one who rewinds on every punch line thoroughly in punit's videos??? I just can't finish it straight... Love your content, you speak our hearts out!!!
He covered everything population, economy, education, society, upbringing, behavioral aspects. Beautiful written and presented
I felt so sad when he talked about his domestic help who asked "hum log allowed hai kya?"... And people get furious when the flight is delayed for 30 mins, or even minor inconvenience like the boarding gate being changed.. The inequality is so damn enormous.. 😢😢😢😢😢
Hum sab maid hain bhai....
The line which hit me was.." Don't become a consumer" and I realised that we have become that only. We should be ashamed of neglecting and ignoring more important and urgent matters. Ah here's to you Punit for calling a spade a spade.
The reward for being rich is more than just food on table...
Wah
Loads of love from Balochistan
Being a teenager.. and rewatching this video.. the standard of the jokes in this video are just so high.. and the observation skills he has of daily life people around.. amazingg
Superb writing! ❤😊👌
He is the most intelligent comedian India has ever produced. He knits his jokes meticulously and he controls emotions with his finger tips.
Sahi bola bhai..
Punit must be protected at all costs !
"Bollywood, cricket aur religion hata do, to andar vacuum bach jata hai."
THE TRUTH HAS BEEN SPOKEN.
The amount of silence in audience when Punit told his house servant travel predicament and asked for the people to "stop pretending to be middle class"..
The silence was so full of meaning as this is a stand-up not a "Samagam"...
Tremendous respect Bro.
This is quality stuff. Kindly write a set for a global audience and visit comedy clubs and festivals around the world. You deserve that, the rest of the world deserves to listen.
A strange genre of comedy where you feel like laughing and crying at the same time.
Fucking true
Lol true I was conflicting myself whether if I am shameless enough to laugh at the uniorony
Its called dark Humour.
@@tanishqsuryawanshi1276 same here. I cried and laughed and was ashamed. Cried when he spoke about the guy who asked if they are allowed to fly. But I am honest. I never called myself middle class. I know what privilege is.
This will go down in history as one of the best written pieces. University mein padhaenge ye agle kuch salon mein.
Boss, I come back to this post of yours to listen it again and again. Every line of this stand up is simply profound....
Man, you are just amazing. I hope and wish that you scale more taller, steeper and higher peaks..... And more people, not just in India, but the whole world sits back, listens to you and may be, just may be, some of us could take in some of the points that you have tried to drive home.
This is one of the most well-thought, hard-hitting, stand-up routines I have seen. Every laugh pushes the audience one step further into introspection. Convenience (sahoolat) drives consumerism. Everywhere we go, we see ads - on the back of an auto, on huge buildings, in malls, in our houses on the radio, the TV - every damn place. We are bombarded with information about products. No one stops and looks at things the way they are. "Just buy whatever you can and make your life more convenient". That's what's going on. If things don't improve, there's a good chance that the vacuum Punit talked about will be much more widespread than it is right now, and it will turn humans into zombie-equivalents. There's this she'r from a ghazal by Jaun Elia
sahoolat se guzar jaao meri jaan
kahin jeene ki khaatir mar na rahiyo
give up (or move away) from convenience, my love
don't get lost in these things so much that you forget to live your life
I would pay for a Netflix subscription if they if they make a special with this guy. I would. Thank you for sharing.💯🙌🏼
Absolutely humbling stand up. I grew up in a middle class family. Dad went up the ranks of the corporate ladder and I was able to enjoy everything I ever wanted. This hits home hard. There is still a middle-class boy in me, but I would be wrong to say I still am that.
I don't usually comment on YT but this was such a thought provoking video. Made me laugh and uncomfortable at the same time. Keep up the good work sir.
"The Great Indian middle Class" and "Motivational Market" Clearly defines the current prevailing condition in our country.
Kudos brother !!
I wanted to watch a stand up comedy Punit, why am I sobbing so hard at “humko waha pe allowed hain kya?” Great work. All the best !
Seriously!! 😥😥😥😥
Coz it's satire the king of comedy🙏
X gang 😂
Man!that hit me so hard
The way he said it. Even I got tears in my eyes.
I've watched your shows in person, online and read your blogs too. This is pure gold. A tight slap on the faces of the masses that are so consumed with the ideas and the beliefs that they've been sold by those who are in power or command a following. Really commendable, an eye opener act for sure.
This is too deep & lethal , I have to pause to inculcate what was just fired . It's like sniper precision , effective and deadly . Respect sir.
Feeling more humble. Thank you 🙏
This will be the BAR.
Sad to see that this one hasn't even reached a million views. It has irony and laughter in every line. Very rare bit where you get this combination.
Its not for common (foolish )man
Iss mehengai ke zamane mein 20 minutes of free quality stand up content is like bitcoins. Thank you 🙏
I keep recommending punit to people, he is the most intelligent comic I know. Love your content punit.
I would love to see you on TH-cam trending .
laughing with tears all over my face😁😭😁😭..such a helpless creature being an Indian citizen in present times ...hum ladenge sathi udaas mausam ke khillaf.❤️🙏
Man this video hits hard, couldn't understand should i laugh at the situations or still be concerned,and here you are, making sure to give a message with each line. Great job as always.
Your writing always amazes me... ...your jokes so apt in forcing everyone to self introspect.... Hats off Punit Sahab
This writing is a living proof that, 'Conscience however scarce still exists, and that there might atleast be a sliver of hope left, from humanity'.
Punit you are a living legend !!
#massiverespect
This is way more than a standup. So much underrated. This just made my day. Each line has its own explanation. Hilarious !
I've watched this bit over 10 times now, on each one of those occasions I've made someone sit through with me and watch it, a beautifully written bit and the Indian hypocrisy is so well pointed out. The sadness of the impact of the punches is just extremely hitting and ofcourse it's unfortunate that this video hasn't found the number of viewership that it deserves, maybe because it's not an outright laughter filled set but just a very passionately written set about the extreme ignorance of people living in our age of extreme consumption.
It's a very very beautiful set and the word chosen to describe the set comes from a very thinking space of mind.
incredible set!!!!!!
Its funny that more than half of India won't even get your jokes.
*95%
They are busy... Trying to earn their 30 rupees
It's even funnier that you actually enjoyed his jokes.
🤣🤣
they would.. they would😔
Watching this video after so long. It's a whole new level of realisation for me. The beautiful correlation between consumerism and fall of humanity is heart wrenching 😪
Those people in the audience laughing so hysterically while I was feeling being mocked and just plain sad.
This was gold!
"Agla PM tik tok se aaega"- Was this the reason the app got banned?
Nice one!
I was waiting for the ending to be like- that's why they call it the American dream; because you have to be asleep to believe it.

Possibly the best stand up comedy satire full of subtle punches and apathy shining through naturally. So so classy.
Brilliant man ! I have watched this so many times :) Shared with all my friends too. Keep up the good work !
Peoples are laughing as if you are talking about someone else.
Hard to laugh when I know what is told is the truth.
+1
true true true
I hardly laughed and was puzzled why people were laughing so much on reality and bitter truth
They were laughing because they have paid for the show to laugh, like extracting the last paisa of the money paid - "middle-class" mentality .

My middle class sentiment is hurt😔😄
His jokes make you laugh and slap you at the same time... And you have no choice but to ask to repeat..!
He is so damn intelligent but unfortunately not everyone understand the level of sarcasm he uses.
A brilliant set, one for the ages. Us 5% of the audience he was talking about will have to rally for this to reach the masses. I wish you the best Punit, had seen you live back in 2018 and have a been a fan ever since, by any chance are you doing zoom shows? Thank you.
Yes, this Friday: in.bookmyshow.com/events/notes-from-the-bunker-with-punit-pania/ET00300444
i had conversation with my friend about our lower middle class families and he said we love to bargain.he said his dad was bargaining even in car showroom. so i asked which car was your dad looking for and he replied Mercedes which ranges ranges between 50- 85 lakhs......This range is soo expensive for middle class people to even dream about.
.Am i the only one who think that someone should define clearly the range for middle class people
No one definitely accept that they are rich.
Tax ka nam sune hoo 😁
Since It comes with a "help d needy" tag
Just loved every word you spoke. Incredible. Words fall short of expressing how you made me think, laugh and cry all at the same time. Kudos
This guy is getting better and better day by day...one of the best stand up i've seen til now🔥🔥💯💯
This guys has love for the country but so much hate for the people and their mentality. He speaks truth though...
This is such a great piece of work! The amount of pain that I felt watching you joke about harsh realities, I didn't know if I should laugh or cry with every punchline..
Seriously buddy, one of the best stand up I hv ever seen...pretty enlightening...keep it up n u will be super famous soon...u r working for human upliftment through stand up...damn creative n brave...
Wow! Excellent!
The amount of study and observations are clearly visible. A truly Indian thought provoking extraordinary satire.
You pulled it off Punit. You owned it 👍
"India me se Religion Cricket aur Bollywood hata do to sir vacuum bachta hai"
Daari aur Gym membership ki yaad dila diya.
3:00 koi bola hai kya kuch .NahiNahi AC ka awaz hoga was most underrated punch line of the show and ironically even this line is suppressed by laugh
The recent Zomato delivery executive incident is so much relatable. Hats off to his content.
Social messages, subtle satires, a very fine way of doing stand up
I really wish that people do understand what u r trying to convey Punit. Hats off to dis way of comedy.
Another master piece by Punit Pania..one can't just end the video without commenting as to how less of it was a joke and more of a reality check..keep going sir..best of luck for ur future videos..
This is hands down the best set of satire ever written! Period. Take a bow Man! Take a bow.. ♥️
If this was a book, it would have been an all time best seller !!! Punit is much much more than a comedian. Great Works !! Cheers !!
Amazing bro, you explained the irony of Indian financial classes in the most humorous way possible.
It's just harsh reality of society, delivered with humor.
This is the second time I'm viewing this in a week. And ten to twenty times of your other videos. Never gets bored.
Of course you have a great sense of humor and an intellect. But I also think it's your delivery that makes it more attractive.
Love from northeast India.

Love the satire and sarcasm in your art. Some facts are so well attacked with thought and wit. You're amazing!!!
Amazing, What I loved is how he talks about very serious issues in such a simple manner
Have seen this bit performed multiple times live, but it still makes me think as it did when I saw it for the first time. Great work Punit :)
"imagine how cheap is the labour in this country and how black is money!" 🖤
The best sarcastic, actual facts smacking stand up.. Now I await to see you live.
One of the best, razor sharp deep cutting high level intelligent stand up I have ever seen coming from India. Great respect sir. Keep up the good work!!
Man.... You are picking so deep rooted and less contrasted anomalies of our society.
it must have taken so much to write this. rn i recall class 6/7 ncert hindi textbook, the chapter उपभोक्तावाद की संस्कृति, damn this 20 min video will take 20 months to sink in, thank you sir :)
on a contrary, I would like the ban on tiktok be removed (if there are no national security threats greater than arnab 🤡) because despite of how worst it was, it actually did something, it put the so many people with their personal lives, houses, conditions and problems and sorrows and aspirations and creativity in broad daylight, accessible and through 'their' words. And yes it's better than drugs 😂😀
This shouldn't be listed under stand up comedy. This is harsh reality. He made me realise I'm rich and privileged and still helpless
You have a 120+ IQ and you'll need an audience in that range to properly process what you are saying. Loved it 👍
