Doing comedy on a politician is easy, but politics and leadership are not as easy as comedy either.

In today’s era, political comedy means poking fun at big political faces of our nations —

  • Those faces who represent our Nations at the International platform.
  • Those faces, that are expected to be your only and last hope, when you get into trouble in a foreign land.
  • Those faces, who we chose to run our Nations. These politicians are our choice if we make fun of them then it means that we make fun of our choice.

Peoples want to lap up inconsequential humour alone. The moment you joke about people in power, it becomes a case of national pride. How on Earth can people laugh at powerful people when they are only meant to be revered?

What if someone says some illogical or irrelevant words mistakenly in between addressing a crowd of thousands of peoples?

  • Does this deserve any kind of trolling or marking fun off it?
  • This to compare a politician with a stand-up comedian?

No, it doesn’t but if you do so then you are nothing more than a bully, after all they are also the human and they are residing their thought in between the crowd of thousands of people so it’s not a big deal to say something wrong in such an environment where thousands of people were listening to you it is very natural to be nervous, forgetting the fact or slipping off your tongue .

This shouldn’t be the part of any kind of joke, this does not deserve any kind of trolling and this doesn’t give you any right to bully then.

Every time when a comedian says —

Donald Trump an orange he became a Resist, Rahul Gandhi Pappu he became a Bully, Narendra Modi a Hindu Terrorist he became casteist.

Did you know the difference between Comedians and Politicians?

  • The comedian can enjoy their freedom of right to speech they can say whatever they want, they can make fun of anyone, they can use numbers of offensive comments without giving a shit about what happened after this because they know that no one going to takes them serious, but a politician can’t even enjoy their birthright of right to speech, before reciting each and single words he needs to think hundreds of time like does it can Heart the sentiment of anyone or how opposition can use it against me and much more.
  • The politicians are exposed to tuns of issues like People critics, tons of work and responsibilities, money, but the most difficult issue to handle the Power because it gives you the sensation of being better than you were before and better than everybody else. But a comedian he does not need to face even a single such issue in his life.
  • Citizens always see politicians as greedy egomaniacs, but for the most part, the politician is the ones who listen to a common citizen’s everyday problems. And in dealing with them, everybody expects us to find a sound solution that will be beneficial for everyone who is involved and in reality, it is just not hard to please everybody, it is impossible.
  • The politician spent their whole life in fear of feeling of failure and rejection from the people you serve after you’ve done everything you can is the hardest part of being a politician. But for a comedian case is totally different.
  • To be a politician requires to be neutral in an emotional way and if you act in that way you seem for an audience like a cruel person, even though you do not look like that there will be always opposed bodies who drag you down for your decisions. But for a comedian, if you are good in your work then you always get loved by everyone.
