Its true that Santhanam follows the foot steps of GM, keeping that aside : he usually does Cringe or Insult type comedies. The problem is that he is comfortable in doing that, rather quite successful, but he continues to do so. I don't know why, but his background on Spoof may be a big reason. And he can be very good in stand-up comedies with his quite quick presence of mind and timing. The others, notably VV or GM have done almost all genres of comedies. So for some people (including me) don't find his one-liners as a whole tickler. One such lines here and there are good, but not talk worthy. Take Vivek, his Sitcoms and observational comedies are quite wonderful both in theme and its reproduction on screen. Santhanam tries a bit on that, but often falls in framing the hero or a tool for love.
So basically, Santhanam is not that bad, but there is only few things to talk about. He still got time, who knows he can come up with some other genres those which are really funny.
(to make it clear : cringe, insult, spoof, sitcom, observational etc. are different kind of comedies and nothing to do with its dictionary meanings)
