Fizz-Shizza at the PSX and saving Babar Azam

Fizz-Shizza memes were everywhere as the great Pakistani meme-factory chugged along in response to the incredible drama, even as the economy and businesses maintained their regular chaos. At the same time, our editorial staff got a little bit distracted and used a very thin pretense to make a case for somehow shifting Babar Azam to Lahore Qalandars and releasing him from the evil clutches of Karachi Kings. Ariba Shahid brings you all this and more in this week’s social media roundup. 

 

 

  1. PSX in a Fizz-Shizza fix

While all of you were focused on Fizza and Shizza, the PSX probably found themselves confused too. On that note, please look at The Dependent’s coverage on a hot new startup that has raised nearly a quarter of a million dollars in funding that is aimed at ending confusions between Shizzas and Fizzas once and for all. We hope this will be a game changer for the industry and truly be a disruptor. 

 

2. DM me for job 

Entitlement is real in Pakistan. Then again, if instagram pages can ask people to dm for prices, then they can actually reach out to people that sound interested in jobs. It is not an exact comparison, but how much does that really matter in Pakistan’s business and professional landscape. 

 

3. Dorito richness 

Some day I want to be rich enough to buy doritos without messing up my entire budget. Goals to be rich enough to buy doritos without having to think about the price. Oh what a day that would be. 

{Note from the editorial staff: Not on a journalist’s salary you’re not!} 

 

4. Taking things to heart 

Some people take things to heart. Looks like Razak Dawood is one of those people. Sir pls just do your damn job. 

 

5. Bigger is better? 

But no, being the biggest and setting new benchmarks is more important than everything else. 

 

6. Okay boomer 

Sometimes all you need to do is tweet okay boomer. That’s it. 

 

7. Playing or not playing at all? (AND SAVE BABAR FROM KARACHI) 

Bat first, bowl first, and be the captain of the team. Is the SBP the little sibling in this match that is being strung along? 

{Note from editorial staff: Just because of the minor reference to cricket, we would like to take this as an opportunity to say Babar Azam needs to be freed from the clutches of Fixer Kin- sorry, excuse us we met ‘Karachi Kings’ even though the other name would be more appropriate. Not only is he having to carry the team at a time when he is struggling with his own form (and scoring 90s despite said dip in form) it is simply about getting him out of this toxic relationship. Babar, if you’re listening, blink twice at the next toss and we will save you. Sincerely, your Lahori brethren.}
