Trevor Noah Responds To The Criticism He Received For His Poor Joke On India-Pak Tension

Popular comedian Trevor Noah found himself in trouble as he made a comedy sketch on India-Pakistan war situation. The video of him taking a dig on Indian soldiers and saying that they will be just dancing and firing bullets went viral and hurt his Indian fans.

Noah said that India and Pak can’t go to war and if they go it will be the longest and most entertaining war of all time because it will have back to back dance numbers.

Apart from common people, some celebs also thrashed Noah for his poor joke. Watch his comedy sketch of Noah below:

While seeing the things getting out of his hand, Noah took to Twitter and clarified his stand. He said that he finds it amazing to see people getting offended by his jokes more than the issue. He tweeted-

Actually if you watch my stand up you’ll see that I did make jokes after my mother was shot in the head. As a comedian I use comedy to process pain and discomfort in my world but I am sorry that this hurt you and others, that’s not what I was trying to do.

It’s amazing to me that my joke about the conflict in India and Pakistan trended more than the story of the actual conflict itself. Sometimes it seems like people are more offended by the jokes comedians make about an issue than the issue itself.

What are your thoughts on it?
