Russel Peters – The best comedy act out there

I’m a huge Russel Peters fan from the moment I saw his Comedy Now special that went viral on YouTube. He is probably the only Indian comic who’s not corny and who has mass appeal (growing everyday) and who has a unique (entertaining) POV on things. His claim to fame is his impression of the Indian accent as well as other accents he exaggerates to entertain his audience with – Chinese, Jamaican, Latino, British, Irish, etc. This page is intended to be a homage to this great artist by curating his best work (according to me) and placing them all in one place – here – thus saving you the pain/hassle of finding all this stuff by doing independent google searches for the content. I would also like to encourage those that like this content to purchase Russel Peters genuine DVDs.

so here goes…

My favorite Indian TV commercials

Tv commercials aren’t always about ‘Buy me NOW’, ‘FREE’, ‘MORE’ or other subverse sales ploys – atleast they weren’t meant to be. TV commercials sometimes actually have larger than life messages which positively impact mankind in some small yet profound way.

I’m not suggesting that all the ads here are ‘profound’ – most are just plain entertaining, though some, like the Cadbury’s Cricket, Times of India and India patriotism ads are so profound they leave lumps in the throat, tears in the eyes and a sense of awe in the hearts of the viewers.

Pls check them all out and pls do comment on your thoughts.
