We're all guilty of stereotyping Tamils and Chennai, as a city.
From calling them Madrasis to not quite understanding their unusual customs, most of us have faced the wrath of our Rajnikanth-watching, dosa-eating, filter-coffee loving friends.
To help us know what are the do's and dont's, a new video by comedy group Culture Machine titled 'Enna Da Rascalas'depicts the 10 things we do that tick off someone from Chennai.
Titled 'How to annoy a person from Chennai in 60 seconds', the one minute fourty-five second long clip hits the right note.
Directed by Mathivanan Rajendran and Bhargav Prasad and stars Kiran Naig, the video features various things we unknowingly do that tick off people who are from Chennai.
It starts off with the Naig trying to eat a dosa with a fork and knife (as seen in the picture above) and goes on to highlight several other antics, like comparing the city of Chennai with other cities, calling people who reside in Chennai as 'Madrasis' (oh no! you didn't), not knowing how to eat from a banana leaf and trying to drink filter coffee without the froth among other things.
What makes the video work is Naig's hilarious expressions as he moves on from doing one thing to another that would annoy people who live in Chennai and its apt selection of annoying things that Chennaities have to tolerate.
