Aziz Ansari: Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening2009
Stand Up Comedy
Aziz Ansari
Something you may not know about me is that I really don't like stand up comedy. Every so often I will find a comedian I like, but for the most part I never watch stand up routines. But based on what I had seen of Aziz Ansari, both stand up and acting roles and most importantly his old sketch show Human Giant, I found him to be funny so I decided to rent his new stand up special. Overall, I really liked it. Aziz is a funny dude in my book. But to get the enjoyment I got out of it you are going to have to be familiar with the following topics:
- Facebook (and not just in general, but know how people actually use it and react to things on it)
- the MTV show Next
- Kaney West
- Coldstone Creamery
- His character Raaaaaaaandy from the movie Funny People. At the end of the special he does an extra 10 mintues of material as Raaaaaaaandy, his alter ego that only tells jokes about his sex life and has a DJ backing him up.
The only special feature on the disc is him doing another 30 minutes of stand up material in front of an improv class. I loved this extra stand up material because he talks about one of my favorite shows of all time, Kid Nation, and the jokes he tells proves he actually watched it too, which makes him awesome.
I watch very little stand up, but when I do choose to watch some it is usually because I really enjoy the comedian. After watching this special Aziz Ansari joins the short list of stand up comedians I really love. Check it out if you are looking for some new stand up to watch. Now I just wish Human Giant would get released on DVD.
