Viral Video: This relationship dynamic humor is most rife on social media and strikes a chord in many people because of the mix of love and conflict. This couple dynamic is nicely showcased in a just-gone-viral video showing an exchange between a famished husband and his excuse-making wife.
The Comedy of Rotis
Shared by an account named Asarpal Singh on July 29th, the video enunciates a classic marital moment: playfully bickering over food. In the clip, the wife is seen asking her husband how many rotis he will eat. He replies with a jolly number: four rotis. Then ensues a hilarious series where his wife narrates everything she has eaten, as if she is keeping a count to justify her reluctance to cook.
Even though he starts compromising from four to one roti, she continues to dramatize counting her intake of food and making excuses. Whenever he asks for another roti, she extends her highly exaggerated complaints and finally makes her last statement that she will not cook even the last roti.
Social Media Reacts with Laughter
The scenario he creates consisting of frustrated and amused expressions from the husband, which are contrasted with the nonchalant wife—is one of the relatable and comical situations. The video ends with the husband looking bemused and hungry, while the wife strolls away, apparently satisfied with her choice.
This funny video has gone viral on social media, as viewers of all sorts flock there to share in the laughter and empathy. The video goes on to show that marital interactions can be comedic in nature and sometimes simple disagreements go on to take the internet by storm. People have commented on the video and expressed their amusement over the kinds of excuses the wife has given, and felt sympathy for the husband’s plight, thus evincing the universal appeal that such lighthearted domestic drama holds. This, in effect, is a viral video capturing the everyday comedy moment that speaks far and wide to married people: how something like that can turn into humor.
