Comedy? More Like Toxicity With A Side Of Misogyny: How Content Creators Are Turning ‘Humor’ Into A Slap In The Face Of Society

Ah, the world of comedy on the internet today. If you were to ask me, I’d say it’s become the same as taking a bath in a septic tank and calling it a luxurious spa treatment. It’s filled with so much filth, perversion, and lack of taste that it’s almost impressive. But, hey, who needs decency when you can get millions of views, right? And here comes the real kicker — this toxic, dark comedy isn’t just for adults anymore. No, no. The younger generation, the very ones who are still figuring out their place in the world, are the ones soaking it all in like a sponge, eagerly awaiting their chance to mirror these ‘heroes’ of modern entertainment.

Take, for example, Samay Raina’s comedy show India Got Latent. The title alone should be an indicator of the garbage that’s about to be served, but let’s dive deeper. Recently, Ranveer Allahbadia, better known for his obnoxiously fake ‘guru-like’ persona as BeerBiceps, appeared on the show. And what did he do? Oh, just casually ask a female contestant a question so vile, so disgusting, that it made me wonder if I was watching a comedy show or a depraved confession booth.

Ready for it? He asked, and I quote, “Would you rather watch your parents having sex for the rest of your life or join them and stop it forever?” Ah, yes, comedy, right? Nothing like a little incest-themed ‘humor’ to really get the laughs rolling. Of course, this isn’t labeled as “adult content,” because, hey, why not let a 14-year-old get a peek at this garbage while scrolling through their feeds? No harm done, right? Oh, wait… there is harm being done, and it’s not just in poor taste—it’s downright dangerous.

The Misguided Youth: A Generation Raised on Garbage

What’s worse is that these creators have developed a cult following, particularly among teenagers and young adults who consume everything these so-called ‘influencers’ dish out. And why not? The algorithm recommends it, right? It’s practically mandatory to feed this kind of content to your developing brain, isn’t it? It’s all fun and games until we realize that these influencers, these ‘comedians,’ are literally guiding the next generation down a path of ignorance, misogyny, and entitlement.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the sheer brilliance of these content creators, who, in their infinite wisdom, believe that jokes about incest and degrading women are actually funny. Just imagine being a teenager and having your only role models be people who use their platforms to normalize rape culture under the guise of ‘dark comedy’. And what does that do? It teaches these impressionable kids that it’s perfectly okay to make people the butt of your joke at the expense of their dignity, their humanity, and their safety. But, hey, it’s funny, right?

The worst part is, these kids grow up thinking this is normal. And why wouldn’t they? When the algorithms serve up more of the same trash every day, it becomes the new standard. These aren’t just jokes; they’re indoctrination. It’s as if these content creators have a secret agenda to destroy any semblance of respect or decency in society, all while cashing in on their followers’ ignorance.

Remember the Good Old Days of Comedy?

Remember when comedy was actually funny? Yeah, I know, it’s a long shot, but back in the day, families could sit down together, turn on a comedy show, and share a laugh without worrying that they were about to be subjected to a crude, misogynistic ‘joke’ about incest or rape. Comedy used to be a unifying experience, where everyone from little kids to their grandparents could find something to laugh about without feeling uncomfortable or disgusted.

Good Comedy

Let’s take a quick stroll down memory lane, shall we? Back in the day, comedians like Johnny Walker, Mehmood, and the iconic stand-up maestros made us laugh without ever crossing the line of decency. Humor was subtle, it was intelligent, and—wait for it—it didn’t rely on making fun of people, abusing them, or tearing them down for cheap laughs. Imagine that!

Oh, how times have changed. Now, it’s all about tearing down someone’s dignity, making people squirm with discomfort, and saying anything that pushes the boundaries of decency. The more shocking, the better! But, here’s the catch: it’s not comedy; it’s just lowbrow shock value masked in a thin veil of ‘dark humor.’ It’s lazy, it’s tasteless, and worst of all, it’s incredibly harmful to those who think this is the gold standard of humor.

Javed Akhtar: The Voice of Reason in a Sea of Garbage

Now, in the midst of all this chaos, we have Javed Akhtar—bless him—who has beautifully described what’s happening in today’s comedy scene. In a recent interview, Akhtar saab called out the shallowness of modern-day humor. He pointed out how comedy has become more about shock value than about bringing joy or enlightenment. He said it best: Gaali is the chili of language.” In other words, it’s used in excess, it burns, and it makes you wonder why anyone would willingly choose to consume it. It’s unnecessary, tasteless, and makes the entire experience unbearable.

When Akhtar saab speaks about the shallow nature of comedy today, he’s referring to exactly what Ranveer Allahbadia and his ilk are doing on platforms like Samay Raina’s show. This isn’t comedy; it’s verbal abuse dressed up as entertainment. There’s no nuance, no wit, no cleverness. Just pure vulgarity that serves no purpose other than to shock and degrade. It’s a sad commentary on where comedy has ended up—tasteless, irrelevant, and mindlessly regurgitated.

A Cultural Crisis in the Name of Humor

But, hey, let’s give credit where credit is due: it’s not just about comedy, is it? Oh no, these creators have mastered the art of moral corruption. You see, in addition to promoting rape culture and misogyny under the guise of jokes, Ranveer Allahbadia, and others like him, also like to throw in a little nationalism and spirituality into the mix. I mean, why not? You can’t be a toxic, perverted content creator without sprinkling a little bit of yoga and nationalist propaganda here and there. It’s like a one-stop shop for all the harmful ideologies society needs to avoid.

And let’s be real for a second—this is just as dangerous as any spiritual guru who hides behind a façade of wisdom to manipulate the vulnerable. These so-called comedians are no different from the Babas like Asaram, Ram Rahim, and Chinmayanand. They’re predators in their own right—peddling toxic ideologies, manipulating their followers, and cashing in on their gullibility. The only difference is that these creators don’t wear saffron robes, but rather T-shirts and hoodies.

Accountability? Nah, Who Needs It?

But what really gets me is how nobody seems to be holding these creators accountable. They can spew filth, mock decency, and perpetuate harmful ideologies without any repercussions. Meanwhile, the young minds consuming this content are left to figure out how to digest it and apply it to their own lives. Is this the kind of world we want to create for the next generation? A world where respect is nothing but a punchline and human decency is just a distant memory?

Instead of encouraging kids to take up productive hobbies like reading, exercising, or spending time with their families, we’ve got them glued to their screens, laughing at the breakdown of everything that used to be sacred in society. They’re learning that disrespect, humiliation, and ignorance are the price of popularity. And for what? A few likes and views?

The Reality Check

So, here’s a thought: instead of watching this filth, maybe spend your time doing something that’ll actually improve your life. Call your parents. Go for a run. Read some self-help books. Watch MSD batting highlights (because, let’s be real, watching greatness never gets old). Do literally anything else but waste your time on this intellectual trash heap that is being presented as ‘comedy.’

And for the love of all that is holy, let’s stop glorifying these content creators who are feeding us poison disguised as entertainment. If we don’t speak up now, we’ll be left with a generation that finds nothing wrong with demeaning others, spreading hate, and passing off rape culture as humor. It’s time to take a stand. Or, if you’d prefer, just keep watching. But don’t come crying when the inevitable consequences hit.

Let’s be clear: the world doesn’t need more Ranveer Allahbadias or Samay Rainas. It needs more Javed Akhtars.
