The clip, posted by @djqueenie, shows Alax attempting to crack jokes, but many viewers found his humor unamusing.
Alax, who gained popularity for his unique fish pie marketing skills, seemed to struggle with comedy, leading some netizens to suggest that he should stick to his day job.
While some commenters encouraged him to keep trying, others believed that forcing him into comedy was unfair, as talent plays a significant role in the craft.
