What is Gurunatha Comedy?

The Gurunatha comedy is Vadivelu's petty shop track from Nesam Pudhusu (1999), named after his cries of "Gurunatha!" Vadivelu's Velu hangs around a village petty shop, picks a fight with a bald elder in white, brushes off his complaints, and dares whoever is hiding nearby to throw something "if you're a real man". Then a lump of dung lands right on the elder's head. Velu can't stop laughing, asks where half the man's face has gone, and the furious elder comes after him with an aruva. In between he hails people as his leader, butters up a heavy-set man by calling him a big rowdy, lifts his collar like a mass hero, and cries out that he can't take any more.

What kind of Gurunatha Comedy templates are there?

The templates follow the whole track: the elder pointing at Velu, the "nobody threw anything" shrug, the towel-swinging dare, the dung landing, Vadivelu laughing beside the dung-faced elder, the aruva chase, the collar lift, the cheek-patting flattery, "I paid for it, mind your own work", "if I had money, would I ask you?" and the arms-wide "idhuku mela thaanga mudiyadhu, Gurunatha". Use them for laughing at a friend whose plan backfired, over-confident dares, month-end broke moments, showing off over tiny wins, flattery to get out of trouble, and the point where you just can't take it anymore.
