Mocking the working class? The joke is on us
Mint Mumbai
|April 26, 2025
Iam constantly filled with admiration for people's inventiveness online—the complex dance routines, the sketches where you play four different people, the straight-faced delivery of the world's worst (by which I mean the best) jokes.
I have a big deadline next month and I have done that thing that never helps anyone's productiveness—I have deleted the apps that suck me in. And in there lie the clever people. Sadly, the last two "bits" I saw were the opposite of inventive. To be honest, they were kind of the worst (by which I mean the worst).
In video No.1, we first see a young woman in a sari, making a tired gesture as she leaves an apartment, apparently after cleaning up. What we see next is a montage of apparent martyrdom—the woman's employer putting things away (rugs, mats and so on) and adjusting other things to an exact angle (bins, buckets and so on). I have to admit I didn't watch the whole thing because my eyes had rolled out of my head and fallen on the floor. Perhaps the video was rage-bait, content created deliberately to make viewers bang out "are you a crazy person?" over and over again in the comment section. I certainly wanted to type, "you have so much free time! You have so much free time to make this evil video because that woman cleaned your house, including under the bins and buckets." I didn't because only typing when I have a hope of getting paid is the new secret to my productiveness. Sort of.
In video No.2, we are shown various people looking important in an office/house under construction and then we see a painter sitting on the floor with a brush in one hand asking someone on the phone: Do you love me or don't you? The comment section was almost entirely "hahaha so funny they are like that only."
