José Covaco is described as one of the funniest Indians on the internet. With over a million Twitter followers he is quite a social media sensation. He was an RJ, and then he became a VJ on MTV. The guy first hit the limelight by showing his unerring ability to laugh at himself – with videos like ‘shit Bandra boys say’. More recently the ‘customer service with Arnab’ video from @HoeZaay went hugely viral. Now he decided to create a short video consisting of Donald Trump bloopers made on the recently concluded Indian visit.
We all mishear lyrics and I specially identify with this one. For instance I always heard the song Dilbar, Dilbar as Dilbert Dilbert. He doesn’t say a word all through the video but that perplexity/consternation on his face is just laugh out loud funny.
Now I've had a lot of catholic friends and I have it on good authority that this is how Bandra boys do in fact speak – put-tru men!
When Arvind Kejriwal had ink flung on him that was quite a story. José Covaco, who occasionally does some mild political commentary, had his own interpretation of the event. He did this funny 11 second long video claiming to be “slightly clearer footage of the Kejriwal ink attack...”
He has made more than one video on the subject of India’s shouter in chief. Jose claims that his doctor thinks he is obsessed with Arnab Goswami. The doctor may not be wrong.
This video went hugely viral with over 500K views. Arnab Goswami provides a steady stream of inspiration for content creators, meme-makers and comics.
It is a call recorded for ‘quality and training purposes’ and it goes after Donald Trump – who happens to be the delight of standups, satirists and comics all over the world. There is a reason why there is a term such as ‘Trumpisms’ – the man’s misstatements, exaggerations and mispronunciations could fill a book. He managed to make enough mistakes on his recent India visit to inspire Jose Covaco. Check it out.
