The age of memes reels is changing the way comedy works. In this age of memes reels, comedy in films is facing new challenges. Akshay Kumar spoke about this during promotions of Welcome to the Jungle. He said social media is full of short funny clips and memes. People now laugh throughout the day on their phones. This reduces surprise in cinema comedy. Still, he believes comedy is a strong and never-ending art form that keeps evolving with time.
The actor said that memes, reels, and online jokes have changed audience taste. In this age of memes reels, viewers already see hundreds of jokes before watching a film. Because of this, filmmakers must work harder to create fresh humor.
He also praised stand-up comedy in India. He said stand-up comics perform without support and still make people laugh. According to him, this form of comedy is very difficult and requires real skill, timing, and confidence. He added that digital platforms have opened many doors for new comedians to grow.
Akshay Kumar also said that comedy will always remain important in entertainment. Even in this age of memes reels, people need films, shows, and live performances to relax and enjoy. He believes every form of comedy, from slapstick to dark humor, has its own place. With growing competition from social media, comedy in films will continue to evolve and become more creative in the future.
