Looking at his YouTube videos and watching him live opening for Sorabh Pant, I had a certain expectation from his special.
One of the basics of comedy is that you create a premise and then say something unexpected which creates hilarity just thinking about the visual. Karunesh took this principle and spoiled it by setting up the premise and then making the punchlines so outlandish and over the top that it became try-hard.
Another thing I like about Karunesh is his delivery of jokes, it's quite unique. But again he turned it up to 11 and kept on delivering every joke the same way that even that novelty got lost soon.
The first time he joked about messing up the punchline and reshooting it, it was amusing, but then he started repeating that trope. By the end I was pretty sure the audience was just laughing because they had to justify paying for the show.
