In today's globalized world, it's incredibly important to be respectful of those who come from different backgrounds, especially when it comes to humor. With that said, as the saying goes, "laughter is the best medicine." We also don't want to lose our ability to laugh at or make jokes about things that are funny. And highlighting cultural differences can be incredibly entertaining.

Neel Kolhatkar is an Australian comedian from Sydney who focuses on cultural humor. He set out to find out where the line between cultural humor and disrespecting another culture lies through his YouTube series Crossing the Line.
