Ranveer Allahbadia has been facing a serious wave of backlash since he made a controversial statement on 'India's Got Latent'.
Ranveer Allahbadia, famously known as 'BeerBiceps', is a YouTuber and podcaster recently appearing on Samay Raina's show, India's Got Latent. However, things went south when the podcaster's statement created a wave of controversy online. Even though Ranveer posted an apology video addressing his crass remark on the show, netizens found that the joke was copied.
Ranveer Allahbadia has dug himself a deep hole, and netizens are not willing to let him out yet. After the YouTuber issued an apology, many users on social media pointed out that the bizarre remark used by Ranveer was not even his original bit. Netizens dug out a video which showed that the joke was copied from some other YouTube show that often uses such humour.
Ranveer Allahbadia has apparently taken the joke from a YouTube group called the OG Crew. The video was posted two weeks ago, which has led netizens to believe that the podcaster didn't even come up with the joke and made a conscious decision to use it. An X user shared the original video clip with the caption:
"Ranveer Allahbadia was aware of what he was going to say- it was a well-prepared skit copied from an English show! It was not an accident or a slip of the tongue! Don’t accept his apology because it was not a mistake! Watch! #Beerbiceps."
As soon as the video was posted on X, netizens started to chime in, sharing their dismay with the YouTuber. One user penned, "Oh! he stole the script, lol." Another user wrote, "@BeerBicepsGuy, it was just a coincidence! sure!" A user in a long note stated:
"Absolutely. They know exactly what they’re doing. If it had been live and spontaneous, I could understand that. However, this is a recorded, edited, and promoted production, and they are fully aware of the impact it has."
Earlier, Ranveer Allahbadia had posted an apology video on social media. In the video, Ranveer admitted that his comment was not just inappropriate but also not funny. He addressed that this was not how he wanted to use the platform he was provided with and called the occurrences a lapse in judgement. He stated:
"My comment was not just inappropriate, it was not even funny. Comedy is not my forte. I am just here to say sorry. Many of you asked if this is how I wished to use my platform and obviously, this is not how I wish to use it. I am not going to give any context or justification or reasoning behind whatever happened. I am just here to apologise. I personally had a lapse in judgement. It was not cool on my part."
For the unversed, Ranveer Allahbadia appeared as a judge along with Samay Raina, Ashish Chanchlani, and Apoorva Mukhija, aka 'The Rebel Kid', on India's Got Latent. During the show, he asked a contestant if they would rather watch their parents be intimate for the rest of their lives or join them once and put a stop to it. This fueled a wave of backlash against Ranveer and the show.
