After Ranveer Allahbadia-Samay Raina, Swati Sachdeva faces backlash for stand-up joke involving her mother and a vibrator, netizens call it 'cringeworthy and 'pathetic'

After Ranveer Allahbaid and Samay Raina's India's Got Latent controversy, Stand-up comedian Swati Sachdeva is facing heavy criticism online after a clip from her latest YouTube episode went viral. In the video, she jokes about her mother discovering her vibrator, sparking a debate on whether there should be boundaries in comedy, especially when it involves parents.
The controversial moment is taken from her YouTube episode, Family First, uploaded eight days ago. In the clip, Swati recalls how her mother, attempting to be a “cool mom,” stumbled upon the device and initiated an awkward conversation.
During her act, she recounts an incident where her mother discovered a vibrator in her room but hesitated to say the word aloud, fearing it might switch on. She joked, "Mujhe pakka laga yeh vibrator udhaar maangne wali hai" ("I was sure she was going to ask to borrow it").
She quipped, “I was sure she (my mother) was going to ask me to lend the vibrator. She started calling it a gadget, a toy. I was like, ‘I swear, Mom, it belongs to Papa.’ She said, ‘Don’t speak nonsense; I know his choice.’”
The video comes with a disclaimer in the description, stating that the content contains strong language and adult humor, advising viewer discretion. The segment, packed with witty exchanges, drew laughter from the audience but sparked backlash on social media.
Backlash and online debate
A section of social media users has slammed Swati for bringing her parents into her routine. One user questioned, “This is what comedy has become? Just vulgarity and cheap jokes?” Another drew comparisons to other recent controversies, writing, “If Ranveer and Samay face legal action for their jokes, will Swati be next?”
Others called her content “cringeworthy” and “pathetic,” echoing sentiments from a broader debate on the limits of stand-up comedy.

Comedy under fire: The larger debate
This controversy follows the recent backlash against YouTubers Ranveer Allahbadia and Samay Raina. Raina was recently questioned by the Maharashtra Cyber Police after an obscene clip from his YouTube show India’s Got Latent went viral, leading to multiple complaints.

The incident has reignited discussions on the boundaries of humor, with critics arguing that certain topics should remain off-limits. As the debate intensifies, it remains to be seen whether Swati Sachdeva will respond to the controversy surrounding her joke.
