[dropcap size=small]T[/dropcap]hey’ve entered our hearts through the internet. They’ve used internet as a tool to grab eyeballs of millions of netizens worldwide. These geeky lads have infused their powers and have struck the internet with a BANG! They are funny as hell and have been acknowledged for their contribution to Sarcasm in the country. Gawking Geeks author Akarshan Jaiswal risks his life and talks to Random Chikibum.
Do read the excerpts from the exciting conversation with them.
Q1) Random Chiki Bum.. It’s a random name, but why is it catchy? Didn’t you guys consult a grammar nazi for suggestions? 😛
RC: Firstly, it is Chikibum. There is no space for space before the bum. Secondly, we did consult a couple of Grammar Nazis and then laughed whole heartedly at their suggestions.
Akarshan: “Jahan Chaar Yaar Mil Jaaye, Waha Raat Ho Gulzar” It’s a very popular hindi song. Do you guys want to make it alive that four creative retards can create hilarious comedy?
RC: Too early for us to be called creative or hilarious but we do believe that there are a lot of funny/funnier people out there who are not known just because they are scared to take the first step. As far as making comedy is concerned, anyone can make comedy. Look at your questions for example. They are damn funny!
Akarshan: Engineers & MBAs’ are supposed to wear formals, say Hello and shake hands. What made you enter this industry where comedy is a very serious business?
RC: If you see our videos, we are doing nothing different from what engineers and MBAs do. Only difference being we are doing it front of a camera and people are finding it funny.
Akarshan: If you were made to resign by your boss for ruining the ‘decorum’ of the company, how would you react?
RC: I would make a huge fuss of it, throw things around, yell at people.. in protest. Because I am not the types who ruins the decorum.
Akarshan: Internet– As a medium has woven millions of youngsters inside. Does youtube change your life?
RC: Nothing has changed drastically to be honest but it has given us a platform and confidence to do more of what we like.
Akarshan: Now you’re popular, people know you more, lot of media will ask you cheesy questions. Will you prefer making preachy comments or just simple ‘nonsense’?
RC: We are yet to receive that kind of attention. The day it happens we will go with our gut (Hope I am not sounding too preachy here).
Akarshan: Do you believe comedy is the best way to enter a man’s heart, or maybe a girl’s?
RC: Absolutely. Is there any other way?
