Vir Das: Landing

If you have enough unproductive time to waste, better watch your room's ceiling than this .

Imagine : You come from office, tired, you open Netflix to watch something good and Vir Das is on suggestion, you click on it, but after 15 mins you start missing your office and start questioning your Netflix choices. It literally takes the soul out of you.

Vir Das he insaano ko dass riya hai, Bagal mey baitha saanp hass riya hai

If he is trying to save his career atleast he should have created a controversy. There is far better content on YouTube. People who find him funny "I'm Sorry for your Lonely Life"

Thank Me Later.

I had the misfortune of seeing this title land on my netflix homepage.

Thought of giving it a try and it was easily the worst comedy show I have ever seen, no exceptions. Not only were the jokes unfunny and stale, but he/she/her/they seemed completely disinterested in performing comedy and barely even tried. Most of the jokes are cheap tik-tok copies.

Agreed that it is not a live show but to engage more in rhetorical politics than to be genuinely funny is even worse for a scripted comedy.

The only highlight of the evening was when I decided to quit nearly three quarters in and spared myself any more of this politician's painfully unentertaining set.

Save your time and avoid this terrible politician at all costs.

Vir Das' latest special revolves around his observations about certain things in American cultures, his experiences over what started out as a tumultuous 2022, and his general opinion on patriotism vs nationalism.

While he does try to be a bit flippant about the things he underwent over 2022, you can see that he is upset about a lot of things. And, this hurt at times hinders what is actually a very good stand up special from becoming great.

However, this is only seen about three quarters into the special. For the most part, Vir is his usual funny, irreverent, and, at times, philosophical self.

Despite a slight slowing down in middle, I'd still recommend this special.

Great writing and story telling. Comedy was a stretch in between filled with irrelevant stories. What I liked was the intent, delivery and logic behind. Really well done but Vir has done better stage performances than this one. Not sure if Netflix rushed him into writing something up quickly to cash up on his recent controversy. If given enough time, this could have been a masterpiece. There was a bit less content and more fillers than what Vir usually has on his writing. Overall a great story telling and energy. I really want to see Vir live some day. Big fan of his work and I am a patriotic, Indian NRI :)

Vir Das is the most impactful comedian of our generation. The way he uses comedy to make us laugh and instigate the thought around how we can be a better human being is just wonderful. I have watched all his specials and this one feels personal. It's well thought through with stories that will for sure steer up some of your personal experiences that you might have had in your life as an Indian middle class kid. There were times when I was laughing with tears in my eyes feeling happy and sad at the same time. In short I hope he continues to do such specials and helps us become better human being.
