You know the future is dark when a channel like Ted, Clickbait's you
Yes, that was truly cheap. :-(
@wheels turn wtf bro!!
the sin of Sunni's never allows for good healthy laughs
I know right hahahaha
@wheels turn ted is basically a media organization posting "ideas worth spreading" videos.
Half of indians landed here watching 'Indian' in the title..
this is an extreme level of curiosity
@@ritikraj9471 and better /GB data rates too
yeah true☺
Not everyone
why wouldn't they ? probably saudis and iranis landed here too.
Only a true artist can make a mixed group laugh like this and let outsiders like me laugh probably even harder.
That's really good. 👍
After he took the red pill CYPHER lost a successful stage career.
So true
ÅåÅÅA5ÅÅA00A00
So true, he is really good at it
The power of laughter and the ability not to take things too seriously. Humor brings us together. Love the Middle East.
Between all his comedy he said some thing very important. ""Travel and understand people. ""
By doing this we can avoid many misunderstandings and perceptions. 100% agree
agreed
He forgot to say that if you TRAVEL to muslim countries, you could end up beheaded.
+theserialskeptic no you couldn't, unless you behead someone else who deserves living. don't judge people just by listening to what others say. God gave you a mind please use it.
+Hiindxx you can get shot in USA too just walking around
your comment actually shows the exact opposite of what is being accused. I quarantee you won't get shot simply because of your appearance there, but here you are telling people fake stories
so who misunderstood who?
Within 7 Minutes, he Roasted nearly 10 - 15 countries. 💥
because he is so ignorant. when they have nothing to say start to make fun of other,
@@viva9245 nope. You gotta know a lot about someone or about a place, and be clever, to make jokes that actually make people laugh of themselves. Laughing of something isn't stupidity and sometimes, it's even cleverness. He could have made these jokes about France and you wouldn't have said the same thing. You can watch Paul Taylor if you want something similar. He's killing my country and it's funny !
Uttkarsh kumar he was just joking man
@Cat & Billi Not all the crowd, unfortunately.
Never mind, he is a fan of Carry
Offensive to everyone so offensive to none. Not hitting a particular section of society. Genuinely hilarious. The perfect stand up.
In log ko aata h ki comedy kaise karte h...apne india ke comedians comedy kam political seat ke liye zyada ladte h
@@Aman-td9nl so true lol
very true
What a wonderful man, with a wonderful act. I would love to see more of him here, and in a wider venue. I blundered into this channel by accident, but because of this presentation, I will subscribe. Who knew that the different brands of people from the Middle East can convey so much detailed information with only three kisses?
I LOVE HOW THE AUDIENCE REACTED TO HIS JOKES. GENTLE, POLITE GIVING A HUGE SMILE ONE FACES,NOT MAKING SUCH A LOUD NOISE. JUST THEIR HAPPY FACES IS ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH THEY ENJOY THIS SHOW.
SURE THIS ARAB AUDIENCE NEEN BIG RESPECT.
Now gotta make "Indian and Chinese enter in a hotel". 34 M views guaranteed.
Hahaha true af.. Chances of trending in India is also there.
@Kazumi San 😀😁😁😂well said, bro.
This funnier than the talk itself lol
don't forget wkwkwk land. you've got +5 M views guaranteed.
+ indonesia and philipine then make it B
Indian title is enough for million view.....
Haha 😂😂😂
rofl
Lmaooo
Arabs like me and persian people exist too not only indians
And when it gets millions of views whole world scratches it’s head and falls for click bait too!
😂
This is actually amazing. It’s clean, funny and it’s not offensive.
People who get offended by comedy are idiots.
When an Arab says Strawberry, rainbow, tooti frooti in the middle of a conversation, they feel like code words 😂
Dude ur name is archan, and i laughed so much because mine us archana .😶
I will vote you for the next Chief of RAW or AntiTerroristForce
Only one fault: He has Iranian roots.
Yes, there’s a difference between Iran and Arab.
@@farQuhar85 Both are EQUALLY dangerous
@@serialskeptic nope kid, get out of the basement
I love it. Make people laugh without any “bad words” it’s possible here’s the proof.
I love clean comedy. Most "comedians" have no material so they just throw in some expletives.
Damion Copeland exactly
Some comedians go for the "shock value" and a cheap laugh.
You can watch fluffy also
I think he is even better
Lovemore Nk very true.
I'm Indian. I never knew that saudis laughs so openly... please don't take me wrong...
I just love the talk...
They laugh loud enough to make it hearable across the whole peninsula
the sin of Sunni's never allows for good healthy laughs
@Mohammedi wonder if you can laugh without guilt
@Mohammed oOOOOoooOOoOO
They are Qataris not S/Arabians. Saudis wear red checked Keffiyehs. Qataris and Emiratis wear white Keffiyehs.
That is so amazing! I expected a TED talk from a comedian, and what I witnessed instead was mind-blowing, heartfelt and inspiring wisdom. Thank you so much for this!
"mind-blowing"
TERRORIST!
I learned more about the cultures of more Middle Eastern countries from this video then I ever did in Social Studies.
So much love to Iranian ppl from Saudi Arabia :) love u brothers
Haha!
Hello sister
Hediyeh B oh cool , i love iranian girls they’re all so beautiful
i said nothing bruh :P
I wouldn't bruh , lemme tell u something i've gotten a lot of friends from Iran so they've the same lov that i've to Samam " may Allah have mercy on him so i don't respect your opinion bro , try to spread the lov with all Muslims not dividing , الرسول عليه الصلاه والسلام قال لافرق بين عربي واعجمبي الا بالتقوي .. وخلك محضر خير واجعلهم يحبون ديننا وطننا مو كافي الاعلام ضالم السعوديه ، مشكور اخوي :)
I just love how at around 4:26, he talks about how middle eastern people laugh.. and the camera immediately pans to the most disinterested woman in the crowd
@Ahamad Anees she probably had no clue what he was talking about 😂
maybe they are cautious because of some of the strict laws in certain country,s
Um sorry but I think they were some important people so...
She is Indian
@@AshishSharma-cg4lt you wish😂
I wish Pakistani and Indian become friends and we're traveling easily into each other's country. We need talks and laughs.
I'm with those who believe in ALLĀH and His Messenger! Never ever going to put India above Muslims - nationalism is the poison of The Ummah.

@@amansinghrathore8308 I'm not Indian just to begin with, nor ever went there nor plannin' for goin' there in the near future either! So just STFU!
@@aliasad2143 I may still have to grow, but I don't think as much as you. I don't care if you've pagan Hindu friends or Christian friends, what I care about is somethin' else - your identity and puttin' anythin' before ALLĀH or The Messenger or Islam! As long as India continues its brutal treatment of Muslims (especially Kashmiri ones), we canNOT be their friends and same goes with freakin' China, as long as they continue their brutal genocide of Muslims we canNOT be their friends, Our goverments have sold and are sellin' Pakistan to China to make it a chinese personal colony, and the Chinese already started their project by the dept trap.
OMG he said many serious things with so much Simplicity and made ppl laugh. Hats off to you.
Lived in Qatar for 10 years, and I clicked to hear about this "Qatari Bar".
Me too
same here..
😂
Same.....
never ever in my 6 years in qatar life i heard of a qatari bar-
I bet half of you landed after reading "A Saudi, an Iranian and an Indian.."
Sure it is
Yes and what do u think is wrong with that?
@@bushiseshin there's no mention of it the entire act.. it's just used to attract us.. that's the problem.

My great grandmother was Cherokee and she was married off to foreigner, she told a beautiful story about not understanding the different languages! She didn’t understand the women and thought they were saying the same horrible things others were saying, as she learned the language she realized they admired and respected her for being so brave , having had no rights themselves and were paying her compliments and love!
where is "A Saudi, an Indian and an Iranian walk into a Qatari bar "......??......TED is now using fake titles........!!
Exactly! Where is it?
Just for views now ted is also fooling ppl........:p
Even Ted is doing that! Thats bad.
it is called clickbait.
Rahul Saraswat you're correct even I clicked the title seeing the word Indian !!!
this made me proud to see all these people getting along... beautiful
Getting along? LOL. Qatar is now under boycott.
But still they won't let go oppressing women... niqabis, burkhas and so on. It's so sad they still don't have equal rights and yet the people are talking about racism, which is same thing when you have different rules and rights to women and man, just based on gender. Only colour seems to matter.
Tommi it’s not required by anybody in Qatar to do any of these things and tbh my mother gets paid more than my father lol 😂 and she can work anywhere so there are equal rights but if anybody is forced to do anything it’s because of their family ( eg: father or mother)not the country itself. Hope this was helpful👍🏻👍🏻
We are just ppl from different lands we're more the same than different.
@@tommi7554 Didn't you see the crowd? Beautiful women left right n center, some with niqabs and some without...they looked fine to me. In fact they looked healthier and more stylish than most American women...
Amazing! 16m views and ZERO dislikes! This talk must be having a positive effect.
I've been to Doha, so great to hear so many things I recognise turned into a shared humour.
In this stand, this presenter could unite several nations without offending any of them.He found a positive in every thing that happened to him.
he is a good iranian .. hope all Iranians are like him ..
Abdul Allah He doesn't talk about peace with Israel ??? Why not ????!
Abdul Allah you're a good Saudi, hope all Saudis are like you
what kind of comment is this? so u mean all americans should be peaceful and all indians should be cab drivers and all iranians should be comedians . LMAO

When did TED started to do stand up comedy show?
The E stands for entertainment. Just not that often highlighted.
some places can only talk about current issues in the light of humor, being it or the joke or the victim does that. it is sad but nice, we deserve in the west to have to think deeply about actions and causes and in the east they really deserve to laugh. this christmas some western child will want nothing more than to get a drone for xmas and some kid in the east will fear nothing more. horrible world. horrible technology.
This much more than a comedy show.
from the point where they decided to do shows in the middle east!
this is a testament to "diversity can be united" wonder how it would have went down, if it was made today though
It’s amazing talk.The Speaker can made audience laugh and manage to exposed the problems very successfully,that makes his speech prosperous:)
¡Fantástico! Aquí, en Caracas, ya lo he visto varias veces y no paro de reír. Gracias, TED
Didn't know Ted uploads stand-up. I love this :)
Stand-up is a speech done right without all the corniness.
Forflies
Y
GULWS
Yes, exactly...
Watch Russel Peters if you want stuff like this. Russel Peters is an Indian comedian who makes fun of all races lol
Forflies neither did i 😂
this was really cute to watch. He was kinda right when he said you never see muslims/middle-eastern ppl laughing in the movies. I mean obviously, I know intellectually that muslims do laugh and that they're like any other people, but I've never actually seen a video with muslims laughing and joking about their culture.... it's nice. Wish all the islamophobes could see this.
no we laugh if we like the jock but if is it boring why should I laugh like crazy.lol and u guys specially American dont know how to make jock to make people laugh,, Yes I agree with u because we respect and love our culture why should we make joke or laughing about the oldest culture in history in the earth but if u said western Culture yeah I will laugh to death.Lamo
Mamdouh Almutairi i'll assume you mean "joke" by "jock", and while I respect that you respect your culture, it's not nice to laugh at others' cultures.
caramel coffee Bullshit. I constantly laugh at jokes about our/my culture,or even myself. If you are unable to laugh at yourself, or your own culture, there is something seriously wrong with you and your culture. If it is SO fragile as to be beyond criticism or ridicule, I think you should give it some though as to why it seems that is. Could it be that you are so worried about scrutinising what or why you believe what you do, and may find something you don't like, or that some beliefs are not warranted after all.
rationalmartian what are you talking about? Literally what was the point of that rant? In my original comment I said it's nice to see people joking about their own culture, and in my second comment I said that it's not cool to ridicule OTHERS' cultures. You're criticizing something that I have not said? I actually agree with you? I'm confused?? Calm down???
caramel coffee You said- it's not nice to laugh at others' cultures. Why not?
My husband and are Christian Missionaries and we were travelling through the middle east. My husband's heart stopped on the plane. Resuscitation. Then, 20 minutes later... Cardiac arrest again... resuscitation. A doctor on the plane says, you better get this guy to a hospital or he's going to die. Qatar Airlines lands us in Oman in 20 minutes. I think my heart may have stopped when they took our passports. I was completely terrified. However, we were treated with incredible kindness and hospitality. Qatar Airlines would not allow us to pay for anything or use our travel insurance. Everyone we met was so gracious and kind. I wish Americans could see this and understand that the middle east is not all about terrorism. Some of the warmest most welcoming people helped us, through one of the most difficult events of our lives. Total strangers treated us like family. We were in Oman for 3 days and Qatar airlines assured our safety and comfort every step of the way. The hospital staff were kind and compassionate. The hotel staff were incredible. Yes. People in the middle east laugh and offer you food and beverages and absolute welcoming and hospitality. Some day, we would like to visit again under different circumstances.
May i suggest you visit as not Christian Missionaries. All religions are a cruse on humanity, i do not need superstitions and invisible and imaginary beings or ancient text to tell me how to behave. Why do you ? And why do you have the need to spread superstitions to others ?
Thank you ..
@@tariq_sharif I agree with you Tariq and many more of us are coming to this conclusion . It is going to be a long time before all people realize that peace and love come from our hearts and not from the voices of the invisible . The attempt to enforce superstitions has been the cause of so much sorrow and bloodshed . I wonder how this Christian Missionary explains that the doctrine that is right is the one popular where they were born . In this age of enlightenment it becomes obvious we are all in this together . Forgive those that don't understand your message. So greetings from Canada . Peace ...
@Practical Skeptic Ok one thing at a time. Start with "absolutely no tolerance". Where have i exhibited that exactly ? Then we will move on your next assertion.
By the way, what relevance is her declaring being a "Christian Missionary" to how she was treated ?
On the other hand refer to Exodus 21 which sanctions slavery.
@@tariq_sharif She was describing her purpose for being in the middle east in passing and you latched onto it like a pit bull on steroids. Generally I share your sentiments about religion and missionary 'work', but the overly aggressive tone could be dialed back a smidge.
@@chinkasuyaro8983 thanks, no doubt you will proffer similar advice to the religious fanatics

where is the joke "A Saudi, an Indian and an Iranian walk into a Qatari bar"?
I think that's just the title of his skit/act.
Is Qatar a"dry" country ie no bars, alcohol?
Mark Fryer,
There are bars where you can drink in Qatar.
Only at hotels mostly or if you own a liquor licence, you can buy from the 1 liquor store :)

Brilliant really enjoyed this, gives a new slant on Arab humour , so nice to see the real people , relaxed and laughing ,amazing act
I can't believe this popped up on my feed again! Awesome!
i never thought arabs would be this fun loving and open minded, guess this video changed my view about them, though i know iranian's are friendly but didnt knew about qatri's and all
depends where you are from. saudi arabians are not open minded at all.
+Olay16 Dont talk about Saudis if you're not one of them. I am a Saudi and open-minded.
+Olay16 Maz Jobrani had a massive comedy tour in Saudi arabia, it was a success.
Mohaamd Almojil he dindt do jokes about saudi arabians. All the points I said above are trie. Saudi arabians are known for their lack of humor
+Olay16 yea , they still follow stone age book's so obviously close minded in qatar
I just came across this video randomly and i must say this was very entertaining. This guy seems genuinely talented (this is the first time have seen him) but more impressively, his jokes were funny yet elegant unlike other stand up comedians who always turn to vulgarity and profanity to make their jokes funny.
Oh, he does use some choice language from time-to-time. He just doesn't heavily depend on it for his act. Besides, he is in an area where the majority are Muslims, so he keeps it clean there.
he is Maz Jobrani
P̷s̷ʏ̷ᴄ̷ʜ̷ᴏ̷ᴛ̷ɪ̷ᴄ̷ R̷ᴀ̷ɪ̷ɴ̷ʙ̷ᴏ̷ᴡ̷ᴢ̷ Actually I live in Dubai and have been living here my whole life as I was born here, so I am very well aware of Arab culture :)
The thing is, words which some consider vulgar and profane, others use regularly in daily life, so they no longer have any impact to those folks. So it's actually the material, not the words, which is funny. We have to get over both the idea that some words are bad and others good, as well as getting over nudity or even underwear. It's become ridiculous. A girl will wear a string bikini on the boardwalk, casually walking down the ocean side, yet, become freaked out if her skirt rips at work and you can see her slip.
What his name??
The guy is good in feeling people places & Moments in understanding culture’s, Civilisation, Society & Situations. Deep 🥽
He’s so funny! I love listening to his routines.
Love this guy!! Talking about very serious and sensitive things that plague our society these days with a tint of humor. I advise people to visit countries like Iran to know how beautiful those countries and how friendly their people are rather than just being prejudiced and believe what you want to believe!
I was living in Doha in 2012, this is all totally spot on. Especially about the cab drivers who have just arrived in the country and don't know where they are going. I loved Doha though, crazy town that it is.

Makes you realize ..we are all the same...only governments and rulers seperate us.
No, mate. Religion, customs, traditions, ethics and the lack of education and critical thinking seperate people too.
try religion and death cults !!!
Michael Morgan you are 101% right. Glad people know about this.
@@marinitsag Nope many religions got along finely until sume ruler came in and started favouring some over others which caused disingenuouity and hatred and seperation between others. (for materlistic selfish reason). Take for example Sunnis and shias in Iraq. Before saddam u couldn't even tell the difference between the two cuz they just got along finely. Comes saddam, starts favouring the Sunnis which as human nature's goes cussed the shias to dislike the Sunnis. Then when saddam left. It was like let's get revenge for the shias. And then the secterian events occurred in 2006 where u were getting killed for being the opposite sect of the same religion, bearing in mind that 40 years ago they would pray in the same mosque. Now people are getting more educated and more civilised and after ISIS came in both Sunnis and shias fought against them and defended their country. And then they realised how similar they r again and now u rarely see in secterian tension anymore in Iraq 😊
If where're all the same then how is diversity a strength?
travel is important. the more i travel and find people to be awesome, the more i despise war. We regular people have no quarrels with each other.
This is a false perception that we Arabs are very good at creating. Making a tourist like you is very easy, we have this weird obsession with guests/politeness to cover up the fact islam has no morality whatsoever.
Talk to them about serious issues/challenge them on any moral issue and they will show what demons they are.
Any bomb that decreased the number of muslims was a gift to the Arab people and I am grateful.
Thank you Maziyar , another Great guy with Great Persian humour :-)
I also enjoy listing to Omid Djalili , he is a Great stand-up comedian, ,

I want to say that the video was exhaustive for me and full of cool emotions and raised serious issues that were announced through the positive, this dude was able to describe a certain brazen stereotypes outdated and irrelevant at the moment, we need to be more loyal to each other and remember that we turn people.
He's ridiculous! Such a delight to hear a Middle East guy (of course he's a comedian) but he's downright funny touching on different nationalities esp. Middle Easterners with such humour and wit. Laughter is wonderful, it brings joy and openness.
An ambassador for peace, respect, kindness and fairplay. We can all learn from one another.

I am from Saudi Arabia. we laugh a lot but people doesn't noticed it all they think that we are bad people. we are not. we are good you just need to know us.

MATH Genius not sure, I think it is one of those names that got changed through the years or got a shorthand
"Greetings Jack!" ..instead of.. "Hi Jack" similar to "Hijack!" #ISeeWhatYouDidThere
@@BBShaw-cd9wz Jack is not a nickname for John.
in Sri lanka we just act like we didn't see each other, life goes on.
So introverts? Sounds like my type of people
No time for kissing.
Not the Sri Lanka I knew! Time to work on your people skills bro???

-Mama honda, oya? *bobs head furiously*

Exactly man, what's her problem with life. Geez lady, a little laugh, even if u don't find it funny, just to show respect, won't do anything bad to u lady. 🙄🙄

Couldn't help noticing it. I hope she finds her humour back. God bless.

Hi jack 😂 Genius! I didn't know TED now offers stand up comedy. Very clever.
"Never Hi-jack!"😂😂
I think I am the only American that REALY wants to live and work in the Middle East. I love the culture. Any recommendations?
No don't live in Saudi!! Go to Egypt or Lebanon. They have the best culture and nightlife of all the arab States
Cairo is basically the Arabic version of Hollywood, I love Egypt so much and thin you should choose to go there and work as an English teacher
Ricky Daniels greetings, friend .unless you're racist... United Arab Emirates welcomes u :) its a very welcoming ,international country that you will definitely adjust in -love, uae
***** Right... and how exactly do they treat them?
Peace corps or a work visa. They are in search of teachers at the American embassy, they furnish many expenses, provide housing, etc., sounds good but it's always hot haha
Ricky Daniels I have a recommendation to you: DON'T COME HERE! The Middle east is not a suitable place for humans . I'm curious though , what do you love about the culture exactly ?
I love this talk. Amazing!
I almost forgot it was a TED video and thought a stand up comedy channel thing. Good video.
he is an American comic of Iranian decent. I think he is holding himself back and respecting cultures. Comedy in America is free and you can make fun openly - not sure if Qatari are ready for it
comedy in America isnt all that free. The UK is another story
He is an Iranian immigrant in America. He is not American born.
Humans are the same when it comes to these things, no matter what part of the world you're from. Some are open minded and tolerant, some are easily offended, some like silly harmless humor, some like sarcastic or self deprecating humor, etc. etc. etc.

@@mariannek6735 Completely right. The great majority of people all want the same things- I really like people of the ME and after living in Qatar for four years, I actually go up to people obviously from the ME and politely introduce myself and chat, because I know (a) ME people tend to be friendly and (b) they sometimes are not well-treated here in Canada
he's gonna hijack the plane with some ice cream
-ded
I wanna be on that flight!
Evilsamar hahaha
Drop ded ted?
