Not sure about black money, but Modi's conducted a surgical strike on black humour
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s demonetisation has, so far, had one great victory. No, it is not “conquering” black money hoarders. It is humour.
The government’s less-than-able handling of the economy has created a boom in jokes (which doesn’t quite make up for tanking the economy). From making fun of the Modi government, to making fun of their own general misery (thanks to demonetisation), people on internet have made these dark days slightly more bearable.
1) This spoof of A Wednesday, that is completely spot on!

2) We have been prepared for this since we were children.
ATM queue mein khade rehte hain log par jab tak number ata hai tab tak ATM is like "Thank you Mario! But our Princess is in another castle."

3) This is tried and tested.
You could write Abba Dabba Jabba 500 times and put an anti-demonetization headline and still have @ArvindKejriwal retweet it.

8) Is Narendra Modi secretly Tyler Durden?
Demonetization is like Project Mayhem in that it disrupts a financial system, and it seems that the first rule is you do not ask questions.

9) Rock On 2 was worse than the demonetisation. It’s true.

10) The math behind demonetisation that sounded the end of the Einstein era.

17) Rules are meant to be broken.
Demonetisation rules changing like gully cricket. Kabhi one tip out. Kabhi off side wall pe direct out. Kabhi 3 baar leg par lagi toh out.
