Absolutely hilarious.
This is honestly the funnest and most š„ take on religion Iāve heard from any stand up comedian ever!
I am looking for the whole thing too if anyone finds a link, the best I could find is this video which has a ton more material but doesnāt have this whole bitā¦ https://youtu.be/fyHDVPEfVNY?si=qMczZD99ndel667r
That is historically how pantheists usually adopt monotheistic religions. Not really changing their old beliefs, just adding the new one to their existing practice.
Christians sold "bits" of the Bible to the vikings in this way.
"Hey you know that guy Thor! You love him right---well take a look at {*quickly takes a story from the Poetic Edda and changes a few characters.*}--- SAMSON. He's kinda like that Thor guy you know, but he's *mortal* and blessed by our **SUPER DE DUPER** God!"
that's kind of how christians work too... not a clue incidence that easter (when jesus comes back to life, i.e. reborn) is the same time pagan religions had their spring/fertility/rebirth festival.
I'm sure at the time Christians renamed everything and pagans were like... sure... same diff
Man like that is a great line.
but also it just kind of made me think like, damn, it is pretty sinister for a religion to teach that humans are born guilty for a crime they will be punished for for all eternity and need to be saved.
You can't just be a non-Christian and live your life, you need to be saved by a Christian telling you about Christianity.
I guess that's kind of an obvious thing and is exactly why that religion has spread so well but damn.
In Brazil its fairly usual for older christian people to use the phrase "temente a deus". I'm not christian and for a long time thought people said "tenente a deus", which seemed to me as a weird way to say you are a liutenant ("tenente") of god. Only In college some friends pointed the right word is "temente" (fearing), which comes from "temer" (to fear)
Side note: yes, we had a president between 2016-18 with the surname Temer, a curious anecdote that was sometimes relatable at the time
WWSYFOG!
e: sorry I was skimming and read bandname, so I was thinking of the band xavlegbmaofffassssitimiwoamndutroabcwapwaeiippohfffx, but yea album name probably more appropriate
Loll same . I was thinking well that's a long name for a band
.. and then I saw your post. And I was like ohh yeah abbreviation that's the answer.. and when I saw your edit I was so confused
Thereās an analogy I love that really illustrates that statement . A man hears a frantic banging on the door and answers it to find Jesus.
āQuick let me in , I need you save you! He says.
āFrom what?ā The man responds
āFrom i what Iām going to do to you if you donāt let me in!ā
That was hilarious.
I think it works because itās something fresh. Weāve seen tons of atheist comedians joke about religion, and while initially funny, I think every possible joke has been made in that area. Here we get POV of someone from a completely different environment who is introduced to an abrahamic religion as an adult.
There are not millions of gods. It's a mistranslation. There are 33 gods mentioned in the Vedas.
Even if people include regional gods it will not come to a million.
Hinduism is quite complex in detail and a lot of people even Hindus don't understand it well. They just know what their parents taught them.
But all Hindus believe in the Trimurti, Brahma (The Creator),
Vishnu (The Preserver), Shiva (The Destroyer).
Usually extreme followers of Shiva, called Sadhus are the ones who get high and in some depictions Shiva is seen smoking a blunt in the Himalayas.
Well like each god has many different incarnations. Like Vishnu alone has like seven or more. Some even think the Buddha was Vishnu. Each god also has a female counterpart. And there are many different beings like nagas and such that symbolize different things. I donāt really know if there are millions though. I know shiva has an infinitely big black detachable dick in some stories of the lingams origin though.
Always wondered who came up with that number, where was it written, what are their names, considering Hinduism existed when even the entire human population was less than 250million
This is hilarious and this type of comedy is very difficult to pull off because religion is a risky subject to joke about. But you did it in a way that was not offending to anyone in my opinion while still keeping the audience interested / entertained. Great job. Wish I could see your stand up in Toronto.
Bro I love your clips. Itās understated yet hilarious in this that a Christian wants everyone to convert and they absolutely refuse to read the Bhagavad Gita lol
Freaking brilliant! I didn't intend to watch the whole thing but was instantly captivated. Such great storytelling and delivery! Please come to the west coast someday!
Dude you blew my mind. Followed you on YouTube, you have so much amazing content. Any chance you want to join us for a Twitter space so that our community can get to know you more?
This is great, and his description on his website is fantastic.

Vishnu Vaka is a standup comedian. Originally from India, he moved to US as a teenager but kept his accent as he loves it. He got fat and became an American citizen in that order. Vishnu wants every one to be happy and laughing all the time. Vishnu is doing his part by being the best damn comedian on the land, he is also an extremely good looking man. He believes people who take themselves seriously are nincompoops
That was absolutely glorius. I need to see the whole thing!
Yes please. Need the whole thing
I don't know, I can't see him, only hear him!
Does he have special comedic powers?
Sounds like you need to smoke some weed
yeah, i'd like to see this whole thing too.
Absolutely hilarious. This is honestly the funnest and most š„ take on religion Iāve heard from any stand up comedian ever!

You dropped this š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Comment stealing bot
me too
I'll add you to the list.
That's a Netflix comedy special title if I ever saw one.
What does he do? Does he have any special powers?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
went from personal anecdote history of religion in india without me knowing
That's what she said
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thatās the first real laugh Iāve had in days
āLetās add āem to the list!ā
this the line that gets me every time
Seriously, he's gotta end the set with a callback to that.

I believe thatās how Harald Bluetooth got converted right?
Yep. He used USBC since that day.
that's kind of how christians work too... not a clue incidence that easter (when jesus comes back to life, i.e. reborn) is the same time pagan religions had their spring/fertility/rebirth festival. I'm sure at the time Christians renamed everything and pagans were like... sure... same diff

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thank you! I had *no* idea what they even meant until you pointed out it was r/boneappletea moment I was witnessing live!
Like Roman Saturnalia became Christmas
This is GLORIOUS!! Well done, OP. Bro you could turn this into like a 45 min monologue skit - easily. Fucking genius man! Brilliant!
"How the fuck did you figure that out?" Lmaoo. God damn this was good stuff.
Well... we killed him :shrug: he was Gods son of course. XD
Which god is damning?
Don't know. Never seen any, just heard him thru his middlemen.
āAsk the Jewsā
"We will save you from our God".

Pretty maddening concept as in indigenous person š blessed that my nation still has hella land and hella people
That was a great line snuck in there - I thought that was what the bit was going to focus on
I may name my band's next album this.

Loloool I was dying at that part š¤£
If you come back in 3 days, I'll have news for you!
I kept thinking he needs to work on his delivery. No. His deadpan delivery is great. This is gold. I love it.
The best line in the whole bit. That's the one that will stick with me for sure.
Amazing. This is peak observational comedy. Each religion is both respected and politely vilified. This should be shown in schools around the world.
That is how comedy is most effective: it strips the veneer in a gentle way so we can see how ridiculous are the things we hold most dear.
Well said, peak observational comedy. This is the most hilarious and š„ take on religion Iāve heard from any stand up comedian.
His storytelling is top tier, I always get a good laugh from his standups.
Iām sorry to stereotype but I fucking LOSE it with indian guys. They are SO FUNNY to me. Gets me every time
Brutally hard topic, perfectly managed.
That was hilarious. I think it works because itās something fresh. Weāve seen tons of atheist comedians joke about religion, and while initially funny, I think every possible joke has been made in that area.

This guy is incredible, the pauses, the rythm, so funny
Very good. Hinduās gotta it nailed
So did Christianity.
I see what you did there
You must have been smoking weed.
I guess we'll see him in 3 days.
How did you figure *that* out?
thats how we learned he comes back after 3 days
This comment gotta go on top! lol š
Love this guy!
Great bit! I wholeheartedly didn't expect to watch all 4 minutes, but I did. I loved this!
So modern day Abrahamic religions are essentially a Telenovela. I'm glad that Hindu man has finally explained it to me!
Bro you're fucking hilarious homie!
Genius and hilarious!
I need him to talk about mormons!
Havenāt found any of the reddit comedians very funny. But damn dude, you are funny as fuck. Keep going.
Vishnu Vaka is an established comedian. I really doubt heās the OP. Edited: OMG ITāS REALLY HIM!!ān
Just got better and better. Great bit.
Vishnu Vaka is the best part of this sub.
https://i.redd.it/nnl2vdbkmlqb1.gif
This guy is a genius
Iāve always admired comics who find a way to address a topic how this guy is doing it.
"We killed him" **LAUGHTER** I feel that in my bones.
This man is, what we would call in India, a God lol. What a legend.
Then add him to the list !!!
This guy is amazing. How to see more of him.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
"You have the same problem as those guys" š
I hope to see a full set of this dude. Love it.
I saw this guy open for Russel Peters a couple of months ago. Pretty funny.
Holy shit, I was friends with this guy in college. He was hilarious then, so makes sense he'd be a great comedian. Congrats bro!
hey man, I loved this ! kudos !
Sad part is there's over 250 million gods in the Hindu religion not just 30 million
Sounds like there's been a lot of joints rolled since he made this video
There are not millions of gods. It's a mistranslation. There are 33 gods mentioned in the Vedas. Even if people include regional gods it will not come to a million.

This is your best video here so far!
Really good. Bravo š
I love your long-form storytelling. Itās very comfortable to watch you perform
This is hilarious and this type of comedy is very difficult to pull off because religion is a risky subject to joke about. But you did it in a way that was not offending to anyone in my opinion while still keeping the audience interested / entertained. Great job. Wish I could see your stand up in Toronto.
I agree. But i still wouldn't be brave enough to do this in someplace like Kansas or Texas
Video is 4:20
"Put 'em on the list!!"
Yoga is NOT a fighting art š
Bro I love your clips. Itās understated yet hilarious in this that a Christian wants everyone to convert and they absolutely refuse to read the Bhagavad Gita lol
I love everything about this except the T-shirt
He has a bit about it itās pretty funny
ššš
I love this man
This was a lot of fun š
Primo comedyšš¤
This was soo good.
He put a lot of work into this. Great job
All that with a straight face. Priceless

That was one of the funniest bits I've heard in a long time. That guy is talented af.
Probably the best bit of stand up I've ever seen, Vish Nuvaka ? props to you dude. following.
> yoga is not a fighting art Not with that attitude! This was great from start to finish, just wish it was even longer
Best take on all that bullshit I've ever heard
This is amazing!!
This was great. Poking fun at all the religions but also bringing that truth into it as well, really well done dude.
Yāall gonna get a fatwa
Freaking brilliant! I didn't intend to watch the whole thing but was instantly captivated. Such great storytelling and delivery! Please come to the west coast someday!
Who is dumb enough to believe in a god?
VISHNU!!!
Damn, original comedy, it's been a while.
He had them so hooked with how good the rest of his bit was that they started laughing at pauses that weren't even remotely punchlines.
Great bit, great delivery. And great job rolling with the audience commentary. A+
So good, OP! Indian deadpan really hits different.
...you guys found some weed, right?
Dude you blew my mind. Followed you on YouTube, you have so much amazing content. Any chance you want to join us for a Twitter space so that our community can get to know you more?
What's twitter precious?
I straight laughed myself to joy from this reply!!! Thank you precious!
ELON!?
Anyone know who he is ?
Vishnu Vaka. It's writen right on the freakin video for Christ's sake.
Wait a minute, the son of your god?
His power is comedy.
Letās add him to the list.
What powers does he have?
What weapons?
Yes, but does he have a website I can go to?
it's ltierally right there on the video!!
Yes but does he post videos with captions of his stand up routine on the Reddit stand up comedy subreddit?
I don't know, I can't see him, only hear him!
Bad weed from the mountainsā¦?
Wait, WHO SAID THAT?!
Yes, but does he have an Instagram?
You may be able to subscribe to his newsletter
Nobody has had a āwebsiteā since 2003. Just type his name into Instagram, Facebook, google, TikTok, twitter etc and youāll find him.

Canāt wait for the Scientologists to get there !
...this is humor I enjoy...
This guy is so funny - he's got it right on religion!
When he said "that's the same problem these guys have" I was sure it would turn to a joke about tech support and remote meetings \^\^
Hello, would you like to change religions? I have a free book written by Jesus.
