    I’m American and I can’t think of a comedy show that makes fun of Indian food. Can you name one of them so I can check it out?

    I’d say most medium to large sized cities in the US have Indian restaurants, so it’s not so unusual.

      Rag “you’re talking about a subcontinent that hasn’t had a solid bowl movement…”

      Friends did, Big Bang Theory does all the time, but yeah pretty much every yank comedy contains some negativity towards Indian food. I don’t watch much comedy, but it seems to be a meme in their shows.
