Jokes For The Dead |  

This one's gonna be weird. It's dark, its uncomfortable, it's not gonna get as many views, the laughter is all 'zoomish', but it felt important, i hope you enjoy it, and share it.

We're living in an era where Memes are being made in Political rallies and Opinions are being made in comedy shows 👏👏👏

"At least they weren't alone on their way to heaven." Never thought catastrophe could have a positive spin to it. Thank you for this.

Vir Das accomplished the toughest thing possible for a comedian- Making people laugh, by discussing death, with absolute class.🙏

5 years later people will realise this was the best show in the entire quarantine year. Great set.

Girl at 14:53 , crying and trying to laugh , this is courage . Can feel you .

How did he manage to be funny, relevant, so brutally honest, and still manage to hug and console us through all the above. This requires heart, brain, talent and balls. Thank you for making this ❤️

"The ones you lost, saw you try" Man that hits the soul.

Each time we're on the brink of tears and then Vir ends up saying something funny. Absolute gem!

"A nurse has seen a leader naked, their naked ass, hunted for balls but found none" - VirDas 2021

" They saw you try " was just so emotional maaaaan

Never have I ever thought I will cry hearing jokes. I laughed , I cried, I hoped for better days ahead. Thank you, Vir!

Our principal passed away a few hours ago. Sounds insensitive, but I would dedicate this to him. Hope he has a good laugh

I've been running Covid designated hospital since last month and I've never felt so helpless.. I've seen so many deaths in these days... people,desperate to find a bed, oxygen for their loved once...said "NO" to so many people each day coz I didn't have enough oxygen, medicines, ventilator...it hit us so hard😔..my family members got it too while I was trying to help others.. Funny thing: at the end of the day people blame doctors: treatment sahi nahi kiya,case bigad diya, relatives ko sahi tara se nahi samjhaya, doctors khub paise kamaya...I didn't ask for that..I didn't ask for this bloody money...God help those who lost their grandparents, parents, children, love once🙏 Vir, thanx for this beautiful tribute!

"Colonialism is the real anti-ageing cream." - Best quote of 2021

Very dark. 'And, you meet your mother who died at 65 and she is 25 now'. Literally cried.

"My job as a comedian is to address the elephant in the room, and I am not gonna not do my job cause the elephant is a dead body"...

This is the power of art. I cried at one second and laughed at another...I was a complete mess for the whole 20 min. Thanks for making this. Sending everyone lots of positive vibes and strength.

I love how Vir's audience is so mature. They dont talk over. They dont answer to questions that arent looking for answers. They understand the feel of the room, when it's getting sombre, when the pause doesnt need to be filled with claps. Your audience deserves a round of applause too🙏

A Beautifully written , emotionally nuanced act and a poignant tribute to the lost souls both dead and alive. If there were ever a case to be made that comedy can be a powerful tool to drive home the message, this is a great example. Expected nothing less Mr.Das!

"... trying to find the balls, and found none..." Exact status of our POLITICAL leaders now!

The "Aarogya mrtyu" joke was so smooth lol.

"Desperation is nothing but unconditional love in it's purest form." This line sticks out to me so much❤️.

Give this man a Nobel. He can literally articulate peace out of chaos.

As a student preparing for boards the days have been hard losing people, mental distress , constantly stressing over studies... it's just too much but THANK YOU VIR for being a ray of sunshine and giving us all this hearty laugh we genuinely needed . Again thank you so much♥️

I just want to say it still blows my mind that a video as rich as this one is available to me, completely free. I almost cried so many times because every joke hit close and I really love those twenty minutes where every one of us grieved and laughed together. Thank you so much for this, Vir. ❤️

Doctors and nurses disserves a huge round of applause and huge respect.

"Dont be silly, I saw you try. Now, rest. I saw you try" -Vir Das. For the 1st time in my life, comic piece choked me up. Thank you, Virginia. You deserve all the love and adoration you get, and some more. Thank you.

That "roadie" joke is DEEP!! Not sure how many people understood it! If you DID, Like and Comment back "Roadie". If you DIDN'T, say 5 times - "Roadie Roadie Roadie Roadie Roadie" and imagine what it sounds like!! What creative writing Vir Das - Take a bow!

You cry, you grief, you introspect, you learn, you care, and still manage to laugh all in 20 mins and that's the beauty of this video.❤️💯

Strange how one can cry and laugh in a comic show at the same time. Damn, that was good.

"Desperation is nothing but unconditional love in it's purest form" COVID has given us a chance to heal our broken society.

I laughed with tears in my eyes but the tears weren't that of joy, only laughter was. #neverdonebefore What a confusing roller coaster of emotions?!

Those 30 seconds of silence must have confused the algorithm so much. Silence. Nothing going on.. But no-one skipped..

I love the ending how beautifully vir turned from his jokes and let everyone realise who lost someone that they did their effort and thats what matters. No one should blame themselves for the loss of their beloved family member🙏

I unfortunately lost my Dad in Feb & I donno somehow this video of Vir has given me some strength & better feeling about myself that I tried my best & yes totally agree "Desperation is definitely a form of unconditional love" Thanks a zillion for uploading this video on RU-vid.. God Bless U Vir & a virtual hug ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I am sure this content is gng to help a lot of people heal..

Thank you for making this. Thank you for being so vocal about everything when people whom we had otherwise idolized, have now fallen silent. Thank you for acknowledging grief and desperation and helplessness, and also humanity and togetherness. Thank you Sir!

19:20 to 19:35 Left me In Tears.. And the Friend you mentioned went to 3 cremation in 3 days I Hope God Blesses him with Much Strength and Much Love...

The level of writing and the way he tunes his body language according to what he is speaking, Man! So many emotions in just 20 mins.

This was amazing. I was laughing while shedding tears at the same time. Thank you for this. I think we all needed this.

I can only say this is the Vir Das way of extending his condolence ❤️

The number of times I had tears in my eyes is still higher than the government even trying to do shit about saving its people.

"Desperation is nothing but unconditional love in it's purest form". Felt it.

I lost my mama a few days ago, and I said, I don't know if death humor is an inoculation against grief, but Vir Das gives it a try, and I love him for it.

" Desperation is nothing but unconditional love in it's purest form " Damn.

“Desperation is nothing but unconditional love in its purest form”🥺

The wittiest one for me hands down was: say Roadie five times..Rodie Rodie Rodi Rodi Rodi ... C how your mouth is always open when you say that...that's how you got COVID in the political rally. Respect!! A very hearty one..cried and laughed..

The only comedian who can make you laugh and cry in unison

We have so many talented stand up comedians, but no one can match upto him.

*Vir Das* - *_the master of t-shirt quotes_* _Technically that's the closest thing from the heart._

No other person can joke around such an emotional topic in the way he did..truly a masterpiece

Everyone watching this had a tear in their eyes. Some out of laughter, some out of pain, some just driven by the memories of those final moments with their loved ones. And yet everyone at the end had a sigh, of grief, of loss. And what u did was turned it into hope, smile and reminded everyone that even in the gravest of disasters, it's the human power to stay together for each other, that matters. Thank you Vir Das ❤

its almost impossible to make jokes of died persons within the limit so that no one will be offended and also crack jokes in between.. seriously it took so much courage to do it... hat's off to u sir

This piece sounds like an eulogy. A much needed one as funerals are not in fashion right now.👍

It took me whole year to be able to watch this video, I was scared I'd get triggered or I'd be broken down and get offended at the same time. You did break me down, but I'm glad I finally watched it. Thank you for showing me that I could smile and miss the person I lost at the same time.

A year and a half later, I'm hearing this for the first time. Vir Das has a remarkable talent for using comedy to highlight serious issues, but he also knows when to turn off the laughs and embrace the moment. Excellent video!

I want to see his show first after the end of covid in India

I cried hours after the video was over. Prayers for every individual who are suffering. Thank you God for Vir Das!

The fact that you're making people laugh when they're crying is just ❤ This is like a therapy session we didn't know we needed 😌❤

Thank you Vir. That's all I have, a laugh, a tear, and chokeful of emotions. Thank you man.

How brave is Vir Das? This series is a piece of art. Every artist has his masterpiece. I believe this one is his. Thank you Vir.

Thank you for acknowledging us doctors ❤️🔥 We're doing our best to maintain our sanity

You made me cry and laugh at same time. Unique combo and the silence

I literally cried one moment and laughed out loud the very next moment, Thanks Vir!

I lost my mom, I was laughing and crying at the same time. Love you,Vir

My mom in Law passed away yesterday evening, I loved her and she was my sons best friend... Just FYI, I started to cry and laugh from the very get go... I am all kinds of fucked up.. Thank you Vir Das for this...

The most powerful message in the whole message for people who are grieving was "You tried.....and they know it". Thank you Vir. That lifted a lot of the burden off my mind.

This is so sweet. I can feel how hard you wanted to help them, even for a moment, with their grief and to make them laugh.

Nothing happened as beautiful as this to me. Had a smile on my face, tears in my eyes and Vir says something that cracks me up. My God! We love you, man! Thanks for making us feel so strong and beautiful at the same time. We love you, man! Thanks for addressing all the animals in the world so far!

"Colonialism is the real anti ageing cream."-Weirdass, 2021 edit: OMG first time I crossed 100 likes! Thanks😭

Never watches your videos before your “2 different India’s” video. Dude you’re just simply brilliant, I can’t believe somebody can be this underrated.

I absolutely loved this one. Had tears of grief in my eyes and had laughter. Thanks for putting this one. You’re absolutely amazing & supremely talented.

Bless you Vir Das "Don't be silly I saw you Try!" is going to bring peace and solace to so many people, thank you for this

People don't usually read descriptions, so just to let you know TW: DEATH Do Not Watch This If You Have Lost Someone To The Pandemic

Thanks very much for much appreciated and needed subtitles!

This was one of those videos where you are just about to cry and then suddenly all of it changes and the outpour of tears keep postponing, and guess what.. that's how we have been living our lives everyday nowadays. We just keep carrying the crumbles of hopes because there are still people we've got to take care of and one of them is we ourselves. Great work Vir!

I can't thank you enough for making this. My best friend lost her mother 2 days ago and it has affected me deeply. Watching this, i cried happy tears and laughed at sadness. The way you approached this subject with sensitivity, with understanding and with hope, is really what the world needs right now. Thank you for having the "balls" to do this :)

I lost my uncle to covid this year. My mom being a doctor was incharge of him.My family doesn't understand all that she has done. I hope this will make her smile a little more

I've never been on a roller coaster. But I'm sure this is what it feels like. From one Das to another. THANK YOU!

Thank you. We all needed this. ❤️ I just wish this video never ended ❤️. Thank you.

"don't be silly, I saw you try" hard pill to swallow ❤️

The 91 ppl who probably didn't see it n just disliked it, missed/misunderstood such a beautiful piece.

A 20min emotional roller-coaster. I cried, I smiled, and I laughed. And Thank you for making me feel that, in these difficult times.

That was absolutely beautiful, thank you for doing it. Love from Brazil.

I was flabbergasted by the Mumbai Terror Attack and how you consciously Pivoted the terror into Humour, my Respect for you as a Human piled up. And this one, I'm betting my love will only pile up. Thanks for existing and not Giving up on who you are today. Thank you, Weird Ass.

I can't believe no one laughed at the "bury after cremating them" joke at 3:51

I don’t understand why this guy makes me emotional. I’m sitting here 10 in the morning, bawling my eyes out. Thank you Vir ! I hope I’ll get to see you live one day.

I was unable to shed tears, but you made me realise and cry and grieve properly, thankyou! May God bless you and everyone who's in need with strength to endure ❤️ I smile and feel at peace a little more now. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

This was heartbreaking and truthful.. idc what anyone says, THIS definitely deserves a place amongst us all.

15:38 - Desperation is nothing but unconditional love in its purest form, this hit me so hard. The line of the century.

you're literally the only comedian who can make people genuinely laugh about the things that they wanna bawl their eyes out for. And then you actually make them bawl their eyes out and then they laugh again. I lost my grandmother to the pandemic and everything you said made me feel so much better about her afterlife. Your words are simply beautiful. Thank you so much!!

I enjoyed this, I needed this. I m on 11 th day of my covid journey,this is hard.just less than 5 months I have lost my father, I m 30, Two days ago I lost a cousin sister who had left her 6 year old,she died with covid . multiple organ failure...this is so hard, this disease is very hard in itself, and the news around us so grim... heartbreaking.

"Happiness can be found even in the darkest of time; just to remember to turn on the lights" "Dumbledore would be happier than anyone else in the world to know that there was a little more love in the world"

How the fuck most people missed the Mask and Droplets punchline 😭 it was so good

I can't just stop watching this marvelous peice ... Its way more wholesome than fun...

I'm watching this a bit late, but this is so raw. I've never cried watching comedy set. Thank you Vir Das. :)

Couldn't wish for a better B'day gift! Bring it on Vir!

I guess... In times like these, we need a man like this. We really do. All I can do is close my eyes and admit to the fact that this is life, and frankly speaking, this moment is of life's brughter ones than the ones we all had to face

Pure love for this video, you grieve through comedy, and what a beautiful way to grieve.

It was good seeing so many people laugh together. Thank you for this man!
