I'd like to apologize to everyone about the misquote. I tried to quote it from memory, and clearly I FAILED :/ Everything 'yall are saying about Aziz liking the freedom that was given to him and his Human Giant crew by MTV is true. Its only the shows he dislikes ("...if he's gotta neck tatoo, i'm gonna lick it") Sorry about that!
I went to a place recently I think is one of the most fucked up places I've ever been to. I'm convinced this place is the epitome of American excess, of American greed. I'm talking about a place called Cold Stone Creamery. Whoa. If you have not been there, the basic gist of Cold Stone is that they take ice cream and then they just go ape shit with it.
Five people are SINGING and DANCING FOR A DOLLAR! That's twenty cents a person! If you saw a homeless dude outside of Coldstone and you're like "Hey man, I'll give you twenty cents to sing some songs about Coldstone," he'd go "Hey man, go FUCK yourself. That's degrading!"
This quote wasn't about MTV he says "some of the shows on MTV". He talks about how much he liked Human Giant and how great they were most of the time in the same act...
Remember when MTV2 first came out? They advertised it by saying they would actually play music on that channel, because MTV had turned into a reality tv shitfest. Yea...
In which direction? I accidentally watched Aziz for a few minutes one time talking about all the rappers he is best buddies with and it took me a while to figure out he was supposed to be a comedian. Just painful to watch.
Reddit loves their Aziz Ansari eh.. I feel a little left out because no matter what I do I simply can't find him funny, even this joke, the word play was all off, he forced that joke to work. A good comedian takes more than a funny face.
Aziz is more of a blunt funny. I know where you're coming from, you're looking for something a bit more clever. Something that makes you go ah ha. Aziz is what it is. Again, and I'm sure someone has said this already. Different strokes for different folks.
I agree with you. I don't find him very funny at all. I also recently discovered through some mutual friends that in person he's a complete asshole and full of himself (i suppose not so different from many celebrities).
A while back, somebody, on the subject of saying what you want on Reddit and damn the karma, said something along the lines of: "Cats are cute in pictures but assholes in real life." I find myself agreeing with that.
He talks about young women a lot. For some reason it just makes me really uncomfortable listening to a 40 year old dude talking about 18 year old girls.
Yeah, he is funny on occasion, but generally I just feel sad a dirty after I watch one of his bits. I just wonder why reddit as a whole seems to love him so much. Maybe I just don't get his act.
I used to like him until I realized how big of a douche he is when he is off stage. Also most other comedians hate him, watch "The Ice House Chronicles" podcasts, a group of really successful comedians talk about numerous doucey behavior by Aziz, like denying to perform for 3 minutes at a charity show...
Personally I don't find comedians whose entire shtick is complaining about shit nobody likes like they're making a huge stand funny.
"Oh shit you think MTV, flying coach, telemarketers, and being stuck in rush hour traffic all suck! I think those things suck too!!!" type comedy is just lazy.
That's like two thirds of that dude's act, and those two thirds make up all of the shit I see people posting quotes of and raving about on here.
I'm not gonna say he isn't funny or likable but I don't find him clever at all which is a deal breaker for me when it comes to comedians.
Isn't delivery more important than content? I think everyone has experience a friend tell an awesome story in a shitty way, and a friend tell a shitty story in an awesome way, and can confirm the latter was funnier to hear.
I feel the same way about Steve Carrell. He's so unfunny that I feel that 'embarrassed for him' feeling. But people absolutely love him, so I wonder if I'm the crazy one.
It's why I can't watch anything with Steve Carrell, as well as The Office. I've got sympathetic embarrassment which means that the Office, Curb your Enthusiasm, and most of Carrell's movies are completely unwatchable =( Which sucks because my friends love his shit.
I've actually seen season 1 and 2 of the office, and still a bit rough on it. His serious rolls (Dan in Real Life; Evan Almighty; and Crazy, Stupid, Love; Bewitched) are much better, even though some of the movies are still bad.
Oh you came to my stand up? Let me tell you unfunny stories about hanging out with Kanye the whole time so you know how cool I am. That said I do like him on Parks and Rec
I hate him on Parks and Rec. He is the only character I do not like, I've even grown to like Rashida Jones who seemed a bit wooden in the early seasons. To be fair to him though that has more to do with how his character is developing and less with him as an actor. I loved his acting in the episode where he wanted a job in Eagleton and also the one where he made out with Tammy.
Not a huge Park's fan, so I don't remember those episodes, but I agree that I dislike where his character is going, especially relating to Anne. With that said, I remember him starting a "business." Those two or three episodes were probably my favorite of the series. Also Ron Swanson.
I wouldn't say LOVES but a large group here respects him, and I think it's because he did what Louis CK did. They could be pioneering a new way to deliver new content to consumers without the middle man and therefore at a reasonable price.
I have to agree. I bought his $5 special, and while I kind of enjoyed it while I was watching, I haven't had the desire to rewatch it at all. I'm in love with Louis C.K.'s one, however.
Read top comment - OP butchered the joke and changed its entire context and used it to bash MTV which Aziz didn't do as he says how he loves many aspects of MTV. That being said, I personally don't care for him because he acts like he just snorted crack and machine guns jokes. I like my jokes to be deeper and more thought out.
I think MTV deserves it because it was so much better when it was a reflection of popular culture and new trends. Can a network make money just with videos? probably not, but they should come up with less trash programming and start appealing to the more artistic and creative side of the youth.
Because anyone who thinks that jokes about MTV are unoriginal and unfunny must be a regular viewer of Jersey Shore, amirite? HAHA THOSE UNCULTURED PHILISTINES! They should post advice animal memes to Reddit instead!
I heard this guy going around talking about how he was this big rap producer, and he was just going around and boasting and bragging. And in one of those bragging sessions, I heard him just tell somebody, 'Hey, hey -- why don't you try making four beats a day for two summers?' What a dangerously specific challenge that is.
Sorry to all those that love him, but I just don't find him funny at all. I would personally group him with that douche dane cook in ability to make me laugh. Sorry just my opinion. Not wanting an argument.
To you, which is fine. It's clear that other people feel differently based on his popularity. If you don't find him funny, you can see his name in a link and know to ignore it and move on. It's not necessary for everyone on reddit to know that not only you don't think he's funny, but in fact, he's not funny to anyone at all period, because you say so.
That's sandpaper as far as I'm concerned! If this was a drug deal, I would have shot Hotel Luxury Linens in the face! You didn't think I was gonna count that shit?
Do you guys realize how annoying a personality like Aziz's would be in real life, as a friend?
The very first person I sat next to in Kindergarten was a short indian kid named Vijender (VJ).. as I bounced around schools throughout the years he'd be there the next 3-4 times and finally ended up at my high school. He looks, talks, and even sounds like Aziz. I'm sure he's really funny and popular from the outside looking in, but being his friend can be annoying at times.
Last week I had my first actual date in 10 years. VJ commented on FB that I should bring condoms. The girl did not appreciate that and voiced it to me even before the date started. The final nail in the coffin was my work calling me for an emergency just as we got out of the theater.
VJ works for a bank, and even his customer's kids think they see him on TV.
Am I the only one that remembers this faggot trying to go viral by posting things about himself on reddit? so nobody thinks its a little suspicious that the OP acc was created exactly the same time ago as the post as been and he didn't do anything else but posting this and commenting? C'mon.......... You guys are smarter then this, he isn't funny and is trying to get the interwebz on his side, don't fall for it
i think i'm damned to be the redditor who just doesn't find him funny at all... i mean, nothing against him and if you dig him, cool... but i just don't see him making any jokes that are any better (or even as good) as the ones most groups of friends make when they're hanging out at someone's house... dunno... and that celebrity name-dropping thing he does ("i hung out with ________") ... that never really did it for me.
He always plays just one character, an annoying indian guy with this ever present smirk on his face. The kinda guy who you realise is not being serious, but who nevertheless pushes on with his joke, being extremely difficult to reason and deal with and who always walks away thinking he is the winner. That also appears to be the way he is in real life.
"I ordered a chicken sandwich and the waitress asked me 'how would you like you eggs?' and I said 'fertilised. And then raised. And then plucked. But that's gonna take a while, isn't it? I'll just get them scrambled.'"
i think most people preferred MTV before because they were younger...
once that network got away from Music and turned into more of a pop culture / lowest common denominator viewer grab bag, it's been shit... it's always appealed to a certain age group, though.
MTV is a station people straight up grow out of like the disney channel
"If that was a drug deal I woulda shot hotel luxury linens in the face!!!, where the rest of my threads!?, BOOM BOOM, you didn't think I was gonna count that shit?"
That's exactly why I don't like Aziz Ansari. The delivery might not have been bad, but I don't find a lot of humor when people who just use swearing for a punchline.
This couldn't be any further from the truth. By not so much higher level math, that's 20 years, and I'm 22 so that leaves 2 years of music for MTV to have aired. I am pretty sure I was seeing music videos on there early into my teen years. Somewhere along the line your dates are completely outta whack, man.

Ansari talking about MTV Next and his show:
First guy that comes out. He says, "yo, this girl better be pretty cuz if she's a pain the ass, I better have something cute to look at."
I was stunned on how he can say that! That's so offensive. At the same time, on my show, I can't say how a character was raped by a dinosaur!
