It was a little too much and also mostly unfunny. They were trying so hard. TVF anyday over AIB.
Agree . Normally they are quite good but this roast thing :headshake:

Roast is insult comedy so its meant to be that way. Also, this is the first time this has been done in India on such a scale so I would say it was not bad. p.s. Do check out some of the roasts done by Comedy Central - they are on YouTube.

Subtle is not something they get. Gay jokes are cruder if they are said so directly (RS on Shuddhi audition. KJ on position). I don't like jokes on skin color. But, a lot of Indians like jokes on that subject. Talking abt friends and relatives.

Um' date=' the idea is to be crude and politically incorrect and crack jokes on everything that is taboo.[/quote'] the whole roast concept is from the west....when you have a bunch of "indian" comedians trying to comeup with smart but at the same time crude oneliners in english they come across as total posers. I prefer a hasya kavi sammelan over this and I am dead serious.this is nothing but a bunch of wannabes trying to come across as something else and looking like total dicks.

I have seen roasts of some celebrities here...from the top of my head I can remember David Hasselhoff and James Franco. Usually the roasters are either close friends of the roastee or generally unfunny comedians who cannot come up with original material in their stand up careers.

Franco's was lame. Charlie Sheen's is the bomb!

See, a joke is a joke. You may like it or you may not. For every person who didn't like the performance, there was another who liked it, tweeted about it, shared it on social media and all this has made it the talk of the town. And so what if it is a western concept? Thousands of things we do, enjoy and share are western concepts only. The west is also welcome to try out 'Hasya Kavi Sammelans' if they find them interesting. The only issue I have with the 'culture of insult' is where you draw the line.

By too much I meant the abuses coming from the actors. There are kids looking upto them. Their girlfriends and mothers were in the front row and they were singing songs like "ab to mera l*** khade khade sota hai".

All India Bakchod ‏@AllIndiaBakchod 1m1 minute ago Have taken down AIB Knockout for now. We will speak soon. Sad.
Is that because of a legal repercussion or is a stunt to capitalise on the hulla?

Yeah the Indian comedy of men dressing up as women is so incredibly sophisticated. Kapil Sharma has made a name mostly on this style of amazing comedy I for one am glad they are trying something different. I am sick of seeing cross dressing on TV. They might be posers now, but they will learn and evolve

Not sure though I think it would be because of legal repercussions. They were already getting a lot of publicity without doing much so pulling it doesn't make that much sense.
