Palayathu Amman
By the time this film had released, Vivek was an established comedian in Kollywood and was seen playing an unemployed youth named Kalyanaraman. The uniqueness of his comedies in this film was his portrayal of humour based on the superstitious beliefs our country houses even today.
Run
In this 2002 film, Vivek plays a guy who comes to Chennai from his home town in search of his friend who would've promised him a job in the metropolitan city. When he gets cheated by many in the city, his careless attitude towards his father is shown as a series of flashbacks making the comedies in this movie very unique.
Saamy
More than the unique factor, this movie makes it to the list for Vivek's popular punch lines throughout the film. Again highlighting many social issues with enough dose of humour, Vivek earned a lot of credit for the portrayal of his role as Venkatraman.
Boys
In 2003 alone Vivek had done an impressive 18 movies in Tamil and Boys was one among them. The unique factor about his comedies in this movie was his serious approach, for the character demanded him to do so.
Anniyan
Anniyan saw him reprising the role of a cop and was seen throughout the film as an assistant to the main antagonist played by Prakash Raj. His humorous dialogues in a famous train sequence and his dareness to use Kamal Haasan's name to evoke laughter among the audience gets a special mention.
Thiruttu Payale
In this 2006 movie, Vivek was seen playing a Sri Lankan for most part of the movie and had spoken Ceylon Tamil making his comedies unique. Reprising the role of a character named Ceylon Yogaraasa, Vivek's comedies played an important factor in the movie.
Padikathavan
Padikathavan had Dhanush in the lead and Vivek's role of Assault Arumugam saw him carry a different body language altogether. Even the pace at which his dialogues were delivered had changed drastically and hence makes it to this list.
Guru En Aalu
In this Madhavan starrer Vivek played two roles, one as a fake yoga teacher and another was of a hot woman. His role 'Latha aunty' was carried out beautifully by the actor and is a sure shot favourite among his fans.
Vaadaa
In this film, Vivek would've imitated yesteryear comedian Suruli Rajan in the entire movie. Mimicking Suruli Rajan's body language and his voice, Vivek's impeccable acting skills was displayed to the fullest in this Sundar C starrer.
Uthama Puthiran
Emotional Ekambaram is the character's name played by Vivek in this particular movie. For the first time, this movie saw him play an elderly person and his ability to churn comedies even out of a serious character was portrayed beautifully in this film.
