Of all the alter egos that comedians have created using a Snapchat filter, Rahul Subramanian’s Prasad is just the fkn WORST.
Prasad is a hyper-enthusiastic stupidfool who is painfully proud of his sense of humour. In an annoyingly regular series of posts, he narrates instances from his life where he diffused a potentially stressful situation with a punchline.

Of course we could all just scroll past it, but there’s something horrifyingly hypnotic about how sweet Prasad is at his core that has you hooked till the very end. (By which time his work is done, and you are welcome to fling your phone out the window.)
