Teen Tuesday – Funny English Puns Big Sis Told Me

So I watched a stand up by Atul Khatri the other day (I am a big fan of stand up comedy as you know!). He was toasting the Justin Bieber concert in Mumbai and the crazy fans. Having a tween girl who is crazy about music, singers and bands, I could totally relate. And like every other ‘original’ funny parents out there, I borrowed a few puns to impress my children with.

Me: Are you a ‘Belieber’? 

(A belieber is a JB fan for the uninitiated. Who’s JB, you ask? Why Justin Beiber, of course! Come on moms!!)

Big Sis and Bro, together: Of course I am.

Me: Well, I am a Bahubelieber!

Lil Big Bro – What is that?

Me: A Bahubali fan!

Lil Big Bro: Ohhhhhhh! How clever!

Me: Smiling like the cat who got to eat the mouse. Beaming proudly at my ‘original’ joke and not even acknowledging Atul Khatri in my mind. 

Big Sis: Okay, let me tell you some more….

And after that, I could only shake my head and be amazed at what came forward. My attempt at a career in comedy was squashed right before my eyes as I saw the GenNext taking it from there! But they were great fun nonetheless. Sharing them with you. Don’t laugh alone. Share them with others who love the language and would enjoy them.

And you must already know the one-liner she cracked when I was leaving for the Vir Das show. You don’t? Then you don’t follow me on Instagram. You can do it right now. And here’s the post containing her one liner:

Loved every bit of #BoardingDAS!

Can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard for so long! I just watched the most amazing live stand up by my all time favourite stand up comedian @virdas. . The way he improvises live will keep you amazed! Doesn’t even need a script. Vir Das showed why he is India’s No.1 Stand up comic. He quickly warmed up to the local vibe and had the audience in splits right from the word go. Not many can make fun of religion and make people laugh at their own faults and still manage to put across a meaningful message about peaceful coexistence. Hats off! .

It was an honour to talk to the man himself and tell him how big a fan I am of his work! .

Earlier this evening, when I was getting ready, Big Sis asked me where we were going. I told her we were going to a stand up comedy show by Vir Das. To which she replied – But he is an actor! She knows him from Go Goa Gone. .

I told her he was also a comedian. In fact, he is originally a stand up comedian. .

To this Big Sis says, a boy in my class is also a very good stand up comedian. .

I was amazed – Really? He is very good at comedy? .

No, she said. He is a stand up comedian. Whenever he tells a joke, people stand up and leave 🤣 .

My, my! When did my little girl grow up so much! She is cracking one liners! . Back to the show, don’t miss a chance to watch him mommies. Give yourself the much needed break and relaxation by having a good laugh with some intelligent comedy 😘😘😘
