Better Off Ted. Humor in whipsmart workplace satire is aimed at adults. At first, he has trouble adjusting, but the help of Puro Asif Basra , the man he's training, and Asha Ayesha Dharker , with whom he develops a bond more intimate than friendship, he begins to acclimate to Indian society. Outsourced is not overly jokey in the way it approaches Todd's cultural discomfort.
There's humor to be found in these circumstances, as when a cow wanders into the call center and only Todd notices something unusual. However, the comedy is not forced or sit-com influenced; instead, it's more subtle and, as a result, feels more genuine and is more likely to evoke gentle laughter.

He makes the mistake of eating street food. He encounters new definitions of the acceptable on a crowded bus, a young boy politely stands up to offer Todd his seat, then sits back down on his lap. He is constantly bombarded by offers to go here, go there, buy this, see that.
Sometimes these offers are worth listening to, as when they lead him to a charming rooming house. And what about the call center itself?
