Wacky Take on Struggle by Comedian Pardis Goes Viral

In a viral video making rounds on Reddit, comedian Pardis offers a humorous yet thought-provoking take on life's struggles. The video begins with Pardis sharing a conversation with a friend. "I told my friend I was struggling," Pardis recounts. The friend's well-meaning but somewhat dismissive response was, "Haven't you ever read any autobiographies? Anyone who's made it has had to struggle." Pardis's witty retort, "Yeah, you know who else has had to struggle? Anyone who hasn't made it," highlights a universal truth about the human experience.

Pardis continues, pointing out the often overlooked stories of those who struggle without achieving fame or success. "We don't hear their stories. No, because for some reason, they don't get book deals. Page one, life was a struggle. Page two, the end. Book was both depressing and brief."

The comments section of the video is filled with reactions that range from philosophical musings to comedic praise. One user quoted Friedrich Nietzsche: "To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering." Another commented, "Life’s a struggle and then you die," capturing the bleak humor of the video.

Many viewers appreciated Pardis's comedic delivery, with one commenting, "Best Ted talk in a long time," and another noting, "This is almost too real to be funny." The video struck a chord with many, as evidenced by comments like "right in the hole" and "It wouldn’t be funny, if it wasn’t true."

The video also sparked a discussion on the nature of humor itself. One viewer remarked, "People don’t always know what to say to help, so they say nothing or they say things they haven’t thought through." Another praised Pardis directly: "Really enjoy your comedy and delivery style Pardis. 😀"

Interestingly, the video also prompted a question about the prevalence of Canadian comedians, with one user asking, "I know this isn't an AMA, but why are Canadians so good at comedy?" This highlights the broader appeal and cultural impact of Pardis's work.

However, not all comments were positive. One user expressed fatigue with Pardis's frequent appearances on the subreddit, saying, "It's weird this one comedian pops up on this sub like every day. He's ok I guess. But can we put this bot on pause for like maybe a day?"

Overall, Pardis's video is a perfect example of how comedy can be used to address serious topics in a way that resonates with a wide audience. The blend of humor and raw truth makes this video a must-watch for anyone navigating the challenges of life.
