Re: Looking for comedy in GS world
Please note :
Corny One liners, smart insults, funny reply does not constitute comedy.
Still not sure about comedy ?? then please refer to its defination :-
**com·e·dy** ( P ) Pronunciation Key (km-d)
n. pl. com·e·dies
1. A dramatic work that is light and often humorous or satirical in tone and that usually contains a happy resolution of the thematic conflict.
The genre made up of such works.
2. A literary or cinematic work of a comic nature or that uses the themes or methods of comedy.
3. Popular entertainment composed of jokes, satire, or humorous performance.
4. The art of composing or performing comedy.
5. A humorous element of life or literature: the human comedy of political campaigns.
6. A humorous occurrence.
Now if you understand this ^, then you must realize that you may find a person extremely funny ( Lussi, for instance ) because of his smart replies and funny insults, but his work does not fall under the category of 'Comedy'.
I hope it is clear now :) .........
At # 5 on my list of Comedians in GS world is Phatma1.
(please remeber, the list is not based on my personal like or dislike. It is purely on the quality of their work )
Phatma has the ability to make a situation funny and she does it a lot. Her stories are humourous and full of life. She is confident enough to say " Look I made this joke myself " and " My ammi is funniest mother in the world ". She makes people laugh with herself.
Dear Code Red!
Please, accept my sincere condolonces for even after your full fledged explanation of the topic at hand, everyone continued their crying and nominations.
My dear friend! Even though, such an act by these members in itself is a comedy in bits and pieces; it does not come close to the definition provided nonetheless.
Having said the introduction above, may I get your attention to one incident in the histroy of gupshup that can be regarded as "Danish Revolution of Gupshup." It can very well be considered one and only comedy serial ever presented in the medium of Bulletin Boards [Read: Desi Bulletin Board.]
Without wasting further time, what I want to tell you was about the time when our beloved Thap and Co. that is all the finest mods were sacked and at one time our dearest ehsan bhai was also almost forced to leave this place. That can very well be regarded as the dark ages of gupshup BUT when looked more closely, it was really a comedy of acts performed at that stage. Later on, everyone got unbanned; and we started living happily ever after. Life is made of comedy but comes some comedian in it that can make a situation crying-fully hillarious and painful that you really want to bash their heads.
Thanks in Anticipation.
