Working the fields is a perfectly good, fine, and praiseworthy thing to do, especially when you are actually living as a young cowherd in a farming family, which is what Balram is doing. And Shri Balram is considered to be a God of Agriculture for this very reason, with his totally awesome plough weapon! π
There is nothing actually funny about it, or really to be made fun of here.
It is just that the RK writers are at their stupid worst (stupid best?) and are again trying to unnecessarily milk things for supposed "comedy" at Balram's expense. π‘ I guess they decided to have a random plough and farming reference this time just so they could be like "Hey, look, we do remember that the plough is Balram's signature weapon and that Balram and Krishna are part of a farming family", just like they have Balram take his Sheshnaag form every so often just so they can say "Hey, we know he is God, too" despite treating the character very disrespectfully in general.
And this whole continued Krishna-making-fun-of-Balram-for-no-reason thing is very tired and quite frankly irritating now. ππΌ Brotherly banter between the two of them is one thing, but just the constant unnecessary making fun of Balram in situations like this one that don't even serve to move the story ahead is so damn stupid, and a waste of time and effort!!! π‘
I really dislike that Balram doesn't get a good amount of screen-time with actual good stuff to do in the show most of the time, and I hate that Basant gets stuck having to film a lot of stupid scenes like this one for RK, when his time could be used so much more efficiently!!! He is a fabulous actor and is very funny and good at comedy himself, so if they wanted to have Balram as a comedic character then it would be so much better if it was Balram who is actually BEING FUNNY himself rather than being MADE FUN OF for no apparent reason, which is NOT FUNNY AT ALL!!! π‘
This seemingly inefficient use of Basant's time and talent at RK is another reason why it sucks that he had to leave VG. Yes, he ended up having to leave VG for all practical purposes - fine, and I'm not actually complaining about that (even though it probably seems like I am). But seeing as RK have Basant contracted for the bulk of his time - whether he is/was also working for VG or not - it would be so much better if his time and talent and the Balram character were used more efficiently, respectfully, and properly in the show; this, I am complaining about! π‘
