I never really thought Aziz Ansari was very funny

After watching his special at Madison Square Gardens, I am 100% sure he isn't funny

Does he have any more Kanye West stories? Those are riveting.

21 kgt5003 2015-03-20

He's a comic who got tremendously successful yet I've never met a single person who likes him.

11 cali_gunner 2015-03-20

Tremendously successful with hipster faggots.

18 havingmadfun 2015-03-20

He is an entertainer, that is all. He is not a comedian, he also lucked out by having good writers on parks and rec to make him seem funnier. Listened to some of his stuff on comedy central radio and it just sounds like a 12 year old girl babbling about Jayz. Because he literally has a bit about him being friends with Jayz that is the definition of cringe.

13 Opthony 2015-03-20

He's good on Parks and Rec. Seen one stand up special of his that was meh.

4 ptb4life 2015-03-20

Didn't see someone already posted this, before I said the same thing. Don't I feel like a copying Kathy

3 Opthony 2015-03-20

C'mere you! Let me tussle your hair!

10 jiggabooooooooo 2015-03-20

I thought he jumped the shark when he burned that Jordanian pilot alive.

2 rottengymshorts 2015-03-20

Not a good career move.

I went to Chipotle the other day and on the to-go paper bag there was a comedic bit of Aziz's written on the side. It was how about how he was buying the world's best toothbrush and how he had to go on-line and look at Amazon reviews for it. He found one guy who was giving 5 star reviews to everything and began to question his validity.

Needless, to say it was HIGH-LARIOUS! Who doesn't love long-winded alt comic bits written on restaurant bags?

6 hiv_negative 2015-03-20

love them almost as much as long-winded critiques on said bits

5 CoolerKing37 2015-03-20

Reddit seems to love the direction of my critiques. Nice try with the hate tho.

4 FukinPeckas 2015-03-20

What's that?

9 birdmanisreal 2015-03-20

He's just one of those sand niggers that uses his own third worldness to get away with racy jokes. He's a hack

4 pissinurbutt 2015-03-20

Hahahahaha....well, there you have it!

3 ig0tworms 2015-03-20

Like Russell Peters? Who I actually like, not his act necessarily, but he was cool in studio.

2 chris2webby 2015-03-20

I despise Russell Peters

8 telepepper 2015-03-20

I only liked him in observe and report. Fuck you Ronny!

6 birdmanisreal 2015-03-20

Good movie too. Darker than I expected which was great

0 telepepper 2015-03-20

Puts Paul Blart to shame and I believe they came out the same year

3 tags33 2015-03-20

Yeah, why didn't Paul Blart the children's movie, have lots of edgy humor and violence.

8 DetectiveJohnKimbal 2015-03-20

Not sure who is worse Aziz or Russell #tho

9 CoolerKing37 2015-03-20

Russell Brand's too busy trying to be Che Guevara rather then saying funny things.

6 DetectiveJohnKimbal 2015-03-20

I meant Russell Peters but Russell Brand is terrible as well

4 boring_oneliner 2015-03-20

yeah man but isnt, like, politics super fucked and like we should do something else or sth? i dunno lol

(add thesaurus to Russel-Brandify this statement)

5 panjshirlion 2015-03-20

But isn't, perhaps, the political sphere deeply problematic such that radical change is both desirable and necessary?

1 sumant28 2015-03-20

Holy shit, put this in front of a Russell Brand photo with a serious looking Times New Roman-style font and be prepared to have the most upvoted post of all time on r/quotesporn

2 pissinurbutt 2015-03-20

YES...don't like him either. I'm also trying to understand why everybody thinks Brian Regan is so funny. I'm gonna try again today to see if I can get it

2 DetectiveJohnKimbal 2015-03-20

Regan - I don't have an opinion, never listened to any of his stand up but Mike Birbiglia - I'm sorry he is intolerable

5 IggysGlove 2015-03-20

He is one of those guys who gets by on personality instead of material. Dane cook and Kevin hart's of the world.

But all those guys seem to hurt themselves by coming out with a special a year. Shit ain't gonna be as strong.

If jimmy did a special every 3 years we'd all be way more impressed by him.

5 daveyistheman 2015-03-20

I just watched that the other night and thought the same exact thing. He is funny in Parks and Rec when he plays a character, but his stand-up is awful.

2 pissinurbutt 2015-03-20

I concur.

5 SilentlyScamming 2015-03-20

todd pettingale > aziz

4 Lame_Username_Here 2015-03-20

I enjoyed him at first but it's like with Dane Cook "Oh this shtick again."

3 Scorpy81 2015-03-20

I turned off his stand up, but I loved him on Parks and Rec. Well, I loved everything on Parks and Rec.

"REALLY?????"

2 Mr_1990s 2015-03-20

I like him, but I doubt anybody over 40 would get 90% of his material.

And women like him.

1 pissinurbutt 2015-03-20

I'm a broad, don't like him. His "jokes"l was so juvenile children would get his material, and even they wouldn't laugh.

1 MonsteRain 2015-03-20

Human Giant was Ok, I don't care for his stand up though

1 ptb4life 2015-03-20

He was good as Tom on Parks and Rec....

1 EmmSee 2015-03-20

I love him on Parks & Rec.. but I did watch his new MSG special and it was very dull. The crowd was NOT into it, they should have pumped it up a bit in post.

1 lispychicken 2015-03-20

I can admit this amongst friends.. I too, don't find his stuff funny. I'm guessing like.. 10% of his material is something I laugh at. Another 10% might be amusing.. after that, nothing.

1 TroyMacClure 2015-03-20

I've heard him on radio and podcasts and never got it. Heard some of his standup on Raw Dog too. No interest in watching a special of his.

Maybe I need to be 23 and live with 5 roommates in Brooklyn to get it.

1 GleepGlorpFloopdedoo 2015-03-20

Aziz, aka, the Indian version of Michael Cera (dot, not feather).

1 pissinurbutt 2015-03-20

Ahhh...yet I DO like Cera...

1 panjshirlion 2015-03-20

I enjoyed the RAAAAAAAANDY character and the beef Aziz manufactured between Kanye and his cousin Darwish.

I haven't seen the MSG special, so he might legitimately suck now, though I will also point out that almost every comic comes off like a douchebag at MSG.

1 JMueller2012 2015-03-20

There are comedians who do what they do to be funny, and there are comedians who do what they do to be famous. Aziz is the latter.

1 KNUCKKLEFUCKER 2015-03-20

He's a comedy actor.. that's all he's good for.

1 dumbshowreference 2015-03-20

Saw him live. It was painful.

0 Me007gold 2015-03-20

Fuck you pissinurbutt

-2 pissinurbutt 2015-03-20

Hmmm...if you say so. Brilliant execution, btw.

0 Hummingbird_Pate 2015-03-20

All this hate.

I mean he's not amazing. I only saw one special. He seemed decent enough though. Sure, nothing close to all the guys we love from the show, but still good enough.

-1 opieanthonyjim 2015-03-20

The Sensual moments or whatever special was funny. He's funny on Park and Rec. The MSG special sucked. I don't know what to make of him. I think he's funny, but not even close to deserving the superstar status he has.

-9 IbDotLoyingAwright 2015-03-20

He just isn't telling enough tranny or shotgun jokes for and autist like yourself. You're the lowest common denominator. And that goes for the rest of you fucks too.

2 telepepper 2015-03-20

WHOOOOOAAAA!!

2 Spaceman4Life 2015-03-20

WHOOOOOOAAAA!!!!!!

1 IBison 2015-03-20

You misspelled 'an'.

1 RealRockTV 2015-03-20

aziz isn't exactly highbrow either. also lol at the idea that we like jim's stand-up here.
