India’s favourite stand-up comedy collective, All India Bakchod, had to pull down their hilarious #AIBKnockout video because of the whole controversy surrounding it. Clearly, we don’t deserve good things. The Internet (primarily Twitter) reacted in support of this hilarious video and we’ve listed down the most sensible Tweets regarding this topic. Of course, Karan Johar totally won the Internet with his sassy response, but there are a lot more people who were vocal in their support.
1) Aditya Mehta tried to remind the politicians and the police that they have bigger issues to deal with
2) Alia Bhatt showed her support, as she always does…
… be it with her Genius Of The Year video with AIB or her sporting laugh on all the jokes they cracked on her during the knockout.
3) Anuya spoke about how embarrassing politicians are
4) Barkha Dutt questioned the country’s (primarily the government’s) stance regarding democracy
Acche din? I think not.
5) Bollywood Gandu said the absolute truth
6) HoeZaay mentioned how this ‘ban’ has actually got AIB more followers and supporters
7) Milind Deora too condemned this unnecessary meddling by the government that had previously promised something completely different
8) The editor of Mid-Day was offended by the government
9) Satan Bhagat spoke about the core difference between cracking a joke on someone WITH their CONSENT and just randomly passing creepy comments on a celebrity online
10) And Sonakshi Sinha called out the hypocrites for being the parasites of our society
Like it or not, a celebrity roast is the last thing that should cause such a furor that the police and the government needs to get involved. Please spend your time on something that genuinely needs attention. Thanks.
