Re: Pakistani Sense of Humour
quality is a vague term and varies from time to time and place to place. sometimes, we are unable to appreciate humor that is not linked with the environment we lived in. That doesn’t make it cheap or choice of people sub-standard who like that humor, provided that is not vulgar.
There was a time, when ‘Ghalib ke Khutoot’ were a source of refined humor, now majority doesn’t get that. Same is the situation with Mushtaque Yusufi, our next generations won’t enjoy him as much we or our previous generation did. Read comment about people not getting content of Fifty-Fifty now. World is changing rapidly and so does people’s sense of humor. I don’t get many of the jokes / lines written here in different forums by people living outside Pakistan, but definitely there are people who understand and enjoy those lines.
