'Gen z is cooked': Russell Peters' generation jokes near half a million

Seven clips went up, nearly all of them about getting older, from parenting and old friends to what nobody knew in the 80s.

A usual day on Russell Peters' channel brings in something over 360,000 views across years of stand-up. The days around this week's uploads ran a little under that. Still, one new clip did more than its share.

"Gen z is cooked | Russell Peters" went up on September 25 and is closing in on half a million views. It is still drawing tens of thousands a day, far more than anything else he posted. The rest of the week reads like one long set about age. There is "Parenting has changed," "Time makes haters," "Old Friends" and the bluntly titled "Old guy." Then came "We didn't know anything in the 80's," the newest, which had the second-best pace of the batch within hours. For a comedian who built his name on impressions of his Indian father and the rules of a Brampton childhood, the generation gap is home turf.

Among the stand-up channels near his size, the loud weeks belong to others. Matteo Lane is running well above his usual pace, and Jimmy Carr's channel keeps drawing millions a day. Peters, fourth of nine by subscribers, sits in the quieter middle, with one young-people joke doing the heavy lifting.
