As desis, we just need a reason to laugh. Jokes, no matter how lame, deserve a round of laughter - especially in a total desi setting - the uncles and aunties need something to do. 😆

I love the cheesy desi jokes - I think they're funny.

Examples:

Wife: Tum mujhse kitna pyaar karte ho?
Husband: Shahjahaan jitna
Wife: Acha toh phir mere marne ke baad Taj Mahal banaoge?
Husband: Darling, maine toh plot le bhi liya hai ... delay toh tum kar rahi ho 😆😆

Ladka: Tumhari aankhen kitni haseen hain
Ladki: Chodo na
Ladka: Tumhare baal kitne khoobsoorat hain
Ladki: Chodo na
Ladka: Itni dair se toh chodh hi raha tha 😆

Boy to his friend: Yaar mai apni girlfriend ko uski birthday pe kya doon
Friend: Dikhti kaisi hai?
Boy: Bohat khoobsoorat
Friend: Aisa karo usko mera mobile number dedo 😆


😆😆 Yeah yeah, aise chutanki jokes mujhe bhi khoob pasand hain. These jokes set the mood , just like you said, in a desi setting.

oh and most of the non Indian born desi comedians are no better.. same old same old jokes about them growing up with stereotypical parents and their weird desi nature... *Yawn*

Are you talking about Russell Peters?😉 For some reason, I like his jokes even though sometimes they're really offensive. Like 1 time, I found this video of Russell Peters really offensive on Youtube and bashed all over the comments, in Hindi, so that Russell Peters won't understand(if he visits the page, that is, very unlikely)😆

to the person who made the post..''santa banta jokes are okay''

sorry, but i completely disagree!! why are they ok?
in my opinon most of them go too far, and are not only extremely corny and far-fetched but also insulting and rude. And very offensive.
and people use them all the time, and think their soo funny, they dont even try and see how they are over-generalising and making fun of cultures and in the santa banta singh ones a religion.
this is my opinon, and im not saying its a fact.
and i know their sposed to be jokes, but i dont find any of them funny because theirs a line that splits between making a joke and making fun of someone/or something and the sanat banta jokes are the latter according to me.

I agree, but I was talking about the jokes in general, not the characters and how they happen to be Sikh. Also, I have heard many jokes that involves other Indian people, like South Indians and all that. I am a Bengali, and I have heard offensive Bengali jokes, I felt slightly angry but at the end of the day, I realized that it's just a joke and really does no harm, instead it releases endrophins.👍🏼

I am so with you here. I think it's the cultural undercurrents and certain social norms that make the girl/boy jokes funny along with the play of words. For example, the one below is really old and totally tapori but it always cracks me up:

Roadside romeo: aaye hai chhammak challo, mere dil mein aa jaa😛
Girl - sandal utaarun kya😡
Romeo - arrey paglee, koi mandir thodey na hai....aisey hee aa jaa😉


If one doesn't know the desi culture of taking your shoes off before entering a temple and the prevalent roadside romeos back home who say the darnest things possible, chances are the humor will be lost on them.

now that was certainly funny!!!🤣. Now what do you want me to do, apologize for making this thread?

Re topic-
Because we do laugh at them. 😛

Indian jokes are corny because we do laugh at them???? That's just insulting Indian people unless you mean to be ironic, but I clearly don't see any irony, so if you could plzzzz better explain what you're trying to say.

i get what you mean, and i think not just santa banta jokes, but al indian jokes on cultures
whichever: gujju, bengali, south indian, etc most of the time they go very far.
but yeah i do agree that they are jokes, and just for a laugh..as long as they dont cross the line,
im fine with them =)
