Re: Pakistani Sense of Humour
Jolie, I’m digging all this love for Punjabi humour. Great sense of humour although not for everyone. Many would find it downright obnoxious and offensive.
In general, Pakistani sense of humour is merciless, talk about a real roast, especially amongst punjabis. And you have to just take it. Or risk becoming a butt of jokes for life. And almost nothing is off limits: age, check. Gender, check. Obesity, check. Your pind, check. Which side of the river you’re from, check. If you ever embarrassed yourself as a toddler, check. If you ever were caught doing anything at all outside of the norm anytime in your life, check. God bless the elephant memories.
I do agree that sometimes punjabi humor becomes offensive.
perhaps you have not watched tv shows like, ‘hum sab umeed se hain’, ‘bnn’ etc. these are urdu production and are sugar coated insult.
