No, this is some kinda joke, right? Sure. That I'm unable to get? Evidently. What should, in the very least, be funny about this show still — given that it features a bunch of Hindi stand-up comedy sets/acts, over about 300 minutes, of a ten-episode run?

They had one job. Not even one joke — intended or otherwise — could manage to draw out from my permanently morose face even a modicum of a smile, forget a vague grin. The only thing seemingly faker than this floundering series is the canned laughter for audiences watching the stand-ups within it.
