Vir Das on how Gen-Z destroyed stardom 

That's true optimism he has for his fellow comedians.

I have nothing against genZ, i do think you are the most fortunate and at the same time unfortunate generation. But this guy is definitely overrated.

Gen z is the look at me generation with the IQ of a gold fish. This generation hasn't had to do shit on its own and gen z sucks big time. All their toughness is on social media and pubg chat rooms. Only in those chat rooms and in imagination can they punch someone so hard that blood starts coming out. In real life gen z can't even do a proper pull up. During our times we used actually beat the shit out of each other physically. Gen z likes to over hype any and every thing. Lol and is has made a joke out of depression. Basically they are cowards who make excuses. Losers. Gen z is like this because their parents weren't loved by the grand parents of gen z and hence parents of gen z decided to spoil their retarded gen z kids by giving them everything that they didn't get from their own parents. Now all these gen z kids have easy access to everything without having had to work for it. During my times we had to earn every thing. Gen z is soft, weak, pansy and can carry mountains only in their imagination. There. Perfectly balanced like all things should be.

@@DivG23 more like the exact opposite buddy.

@@GurkiratXSingh what is ?

He got Emmy because he criticises current govt at yhe cost of our nation n west loves it because they are unable to digest the fact that India is no more gives d*** about West

and the moas disgraceful to thus country

and the most intellectual person as well. He's really an asset, if one may say

No he isn't.

Is that so ?Let him say one word or one joke about profit momo of Islam 😂😂😂

Second it. The culture of celebrity worshipping and parasocial relationships is present now more than ever, he couldn't be more wrong.

Parasocial relationships go brrr

* cough * Taylor Swift * cough *

@@delightful999 I mean she was also the only celebrity to be famous as a snake, liar, etc where as other celebrities took advantage of her fall and rose to their fame like useless kardashians or kanye west. No one else had to go through it on the level she received it so she deserves her fame now imo. Atleast she provides good music for the soul and fights for artists rights and helps people than making unnecessary drama or sex tapes.

do you mean we have now more celebs than engineers?

its not real dude. Most people just call themselves celebrities for some millions of followers. How to say, one way to distinguish now is, if you have gone on TV, then you are really famous than anyone who just has social media presence. Others don't fall in the category of celebrities like the ones on YT or instagram or tiktok, they mostly fall under social media stars. Very few from these platforms have a celebrity status for most of them, it is just a source of income. I mean most of them could go away and nobody wld care that much. Celebrities include cristiano ronaldo or natalie portman or something like people ask there autographs and are die hard fans man. Stardom is not the same. Internet just makes it look the same.

😂, I don't know if you are joking or being serious.

@@varunshivan9569 I'm serious why?

he just got an Emmy, definitely not underrated. @@Maratha382

@@varunshivan9569 well he is the first indian to win emmy so idk you're joking or not?

The word underrated has become so overrated.. People don't even care to know what it means.

Bro thinks he did something great💀

People' like you never realise what harm vir das did to India's image in foreign media after that incident... Wait until you travel to another country and somebody call you heyy you from India where girls getting raped 😂😂😂.... Dumbass . Virdas ignite racism for Indias in foreign

​@@a.a.j5758yeah he did some really great

I mean .....why shouldn't they.....a person who speaks is defined by his words

😂😂

🤣 he always sounds like a philosopher

yes.....srk told once......"i am the last of the stars" once internet came......stars sublimed

Did it really though? I would even say the internet made it worse. Before, the celebrities led their own lives and people led their own. If you wanted to know something about your favorite stars you would have go out and hunt that information. With internet this information is basically spoon fed to you. It wouldn't even be a stretch to say that its like you're essentially sharing a room with your favourite celebrities. This has given more people a fake sense of being connected to the fake lives of celebrities. They look up to them more, they argue about them, they wage wars on social media about them. All while they forget that a celebrity's life is built on top of a mountain of lies. So yes, the internet had made the stardom 10 times worse.

Yes u can. U can do anything..

I can i will .......definately😂😂

I do.

Very well put, 👍👍

Nothing. But when the audience acts like sensitive teenage kids, then it's a huge problem for everyone.

Nothing

Nobody said it's a problem, it's a fact and now one needs to work around it.

@@Rudi_Mentary723so calling out hate speech is wrong now. hate speech is free speech until only Hindus are targeted. We are so out of jokes these days

What's the loss of that other guy then? He'll just be better some day, kisi ka plus h to minus thodi hua dusre ka

Agreed. Even comedy can be consumed a finite times a day. Laughter is after all only one emotion and we need to experience all of them to remain healthy.

Wrong. It is only because you think success is either for you or the other person. however there are multiple choices. It can be for both, it can be for none. Also, being successful at someone else's expense means that you didn't do the work for urself, someone else did it for you like jada smith is famous only because of will smith. But she doesn't have as much fame as will smith because she didn't work that much in movies. So it is her contribution that is checked and not someone else's. But actors like cate blanchett or natalie portman are famous at their own expense only not at someone else's.

@@advitiayanand5974 I disagree. Negative things stay with people so most people can't watch crime atleast everyday but maybe every week or month. Humans are driven by pain and pleasure. Comedy relieves tension for most people so I agree it is a really good time to be a comedian given you have a good character and can make jokes in a good way to laugh and not hurt someone because there are a lot of hurtful things already all over news and people understand how the algorithm works. If they watch crime, it would get recommended so why not watch good things you might enjoy because that might get recommended more and one might have a good time.

You missed the point. He never implied he’s a star. He was talking about that culture just in general and how it doesn’t suit this generation. While also talking about how this affects comedians since he’s one.

No, my point is about him mentioning that audience killed stardom. They did not. Its truly well and alive if you really are a star. More so in bollywood. Comedians don't compare to film stars and I am not sure why is he even discussing that segment to make a point Apple vs oranges. .

You're missing Only Fans Content Creators. Don't speak on things ypu have no knowledge about. You think Indians don't pay for Only Fans and only pay for theatre or OTT to watch "content" then you're foolish as a human can get.

@@ankitpersie1 stardom is barely to be seen nowadays. The people who were a star before social media became such a big thing are the only ones left like SRK, Virat Kohli, Salman khan. Most of the Bollywood actors don’t experience the same stardom. So Vir isn’t wrong

@@aishanipriya1510 I think this is what i mentioned in the comment.You are mentioning huugeeee superstars in movies.The concept of which is fading away. But,just because of more visibility does not mean the standup comics are stars on par with current movie stars. He himself mentioned ranbir kapoor.If he really thinks he is on par in terms of stardom with ranbir kapoor or will be ,he needs to get a reality check by someone. Not to mention ranvir singh, varun, aliya bhatt, kiara etc. They might not be my favourite but nowhere they are lesser stars.

Uska answer mein galti nahi tha koi. Chutiya tu hain

Vir Das has an international presence. Also his style of delivery is much less brutal than Kamra's. Kamra was unapologetically punching upwards until he got punched down. Also, Vir Das does English while Kamra does Hinglish. Lots of factors to account for.

​@@advitiayanand5974and he also insulted india on bigger stage .🙁

​@@advitiayanand5974 International presence means what? Only watched by south Asians. Cuz I live in usa and no foriegner watch any Bollywood movies. Except south Asians. Who is watching Bollywood movies except south Asians? Srk, rajnikant, Salman, amithabh were famous. Bt they are old. Who is watching current Bollywood movies and web series except south Asians?😂 This is called as NRI presence. Not international presence

@@abhirajteotia5794 it's not his responsibility to sugarcoat his words in order to paint India as the land of dreams. If you don't agree then I'm not gonna convince you. 👍

Exactly! I was confused what the heck was he talking about when he said "this generation has killed stardom" If anything this generation has made the stardom worse. With the propagation of internet celebrities have become the equivalent of gods in India.

@@wlockuz4467 Agree

George Carlin ko jante. Waisa sense of humour hai iska. Satirical truths and blanket statements

Best description of Vir Das. Well done.

🤡 did you watch landing? Or are you here for some attention? Emmy free me nhi bata jata filmfare ki tarah

What is his leftist point of view? Can you tell me...

​@@rajivhumainthat India is being mauled by the current govt and that the root cause of all problems in India is right wing ideology and that caste system is a curse of India! And that he's coming from 2 India's... But selectively hell only target the majority and won't ever say anything about pisslamic oppression

Definitely not. Don't forget he is bashing the same bollywood where he came from. When you give a bollywood actor even an ounce of spotlight they think of themselves as renowned philosophers who understand everything and anything.

Why anti Indian?

Yes true

Well comedy is relative and he also performs mostly in English so it would have made the jury of Emmy to understand him more clearly and his acts are also related to social matters aur baki bassi bhai ki Tarah baki jo comedians hai their comedy is different.

Money may be

Because it’s subjective and maybe you are not smart enough to grasp his deep insightful and politically sensitive black humours 😊

maybe because Grammy panel might not have had andBhakts 😂

Gotta appease the Indian audience.

"desh ki sachai rakh di" vir got some real guts to spit facts straight on someone's face

Kya ukhad lia bhai tune? Tum log bhi na murge ki ek tang. It happened. And many people agreed with that speech also. It is the truth there are two kinds of people living today in India. There are two beliefs hence two India. And as an Indian he owns up to both of them he represents both of them.
