Vadivelu’s comedy relies heavily on the concept of para-comedy —where the character is completely unaware of how ridiculous they look to the audience, or conversely, is hyper-aware but tries to fake absolute confidence.

It highlights his character's tendency to brag about having something better, only for the "special item" to be a complete flop.

The dialogue originates from the 2001 Tamil film Manadhai Thirudivittai , starring Prabhu Deva. Vadivelu plays "Steve Waugh" (a hilarious nod to the Australian cricketer), a local musician competing fiercely against a rival played by fellow comedian Vivek.
