07.01.09 SO I GUESS THIS IS HILARIOUS
Judd Apatow’s next movie, Funny People, is kind of about comedians, and while he was filming it, he held a concert called A Night of Funny People, featuring people like Patton Oswalt and Sarah Silverman (probably my two favorite comics, along with Zach Galif.), and reportedly used some film from the concert in the movie. Today’s news is that some clips of Aziz Ansari’s performance, where he did a character named Randy, have hit the web. And they’ve even started a Randy website (laughyourdickoff.com) as part of their viral marketing.
[Update: the clip I was originally talking about was this one, but the video kept autoplaying so I took it down]
I know I’m a grouch and a hater about a lot of things, but I’d like to think I’m pretty open when it comes to comedy. But a lot of people whose opinion I usually respect find this Randy character utterly hilarious, and I… I just don’t see it. It’s not unfunny, it just doesn’t do anything for me, kind of like the comedic equivalent of the Foo Fighters (go ahead and yell at me for that one too). Plus he keeps breaking character. Is that what’s funny about Randy? That he’s a character who constantly breaks character? Nonetheless, I’m posting some clips in case you guys enjoy it. In the meantime I’ll just continue to stand here, frowning at my lawn and wondering why you never call.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT TWITTER IS?!
Yeah, I don’t really get it either.
Dude, you live in NYC . . . you have a lawn?
Also, anybody else seeing the page in all Center Align?
Ummm… I think Randy broke the internet.
FUCK
MIKERANDY!And Mike too. Fuck ‘em both.
Any of you tech-savvy people know how to make this stop autoplaying? “autoplay=”false” apparently doesn’t work..
autoplaying is when I dress up like a transformer and my wife chokes me unconscious before we fuck.
Short answer: no.
It’s funny because he’s an arab with possibly the whitest name in history?
Randy is not funny VaLince. These people that think this is funny are just the fucklicks that jumped the Dane Cook bandwagon when they got tired of getting shit for liking that sack of shit. Funny doesn’t matter to these people, only that their friends know who it is.
Also, Randy fucked up your blog. Bad.
Hey, phixed!
Ryan Gosling is uncomfortable saying his name too loudly because randy is also a word that means “horny”.
Try hitting your computer with a newspaper and saying “No autoplay no! thats a bad autoplay!” in a aggressive yet calm voice
Here’s my impression of me, Raaaandy, getting my dick sucked while FilmDrunking…(wait for it)… Whoooooaaaaaa!!!! LOLZLOLZLOLZZZOLZLLO(LOOLL)OLLOL!!!1!!!one!11!!!
Die in a car fire.
I’m too busy trying to stop autotuning, but T Pain just won’t die.
I didn’t laugh so much as chuckle… twice, I think. I’m reasonably sure my dick didn’t fall off either, after I finish this plate of nachos I’m gonna go find a mirror and make 100% sure.
It would be funnier in IMAX
For the life of me, I can’t put my finger on why this guy annoys the shit out of me.
AHA! He’s not funny but “No Tits Apatow” thinks he is so everyone else goes along with it.
It’s funny, but it would be funnier if it weren’t a male version of Maya Rudolph’s Oprah.
I didn’t like it, but I don’t enjoy anything “brown” so take that for what it’s worth.
Meh, I like Foo Fighters ok. I have their first album. I am not going to hate all over you for being less than wide-eyed fanatic about them.
However, if you ever say a single bad thing about
HAZBlack Sabbath, you will just be another NYC murder statistic. (Well, at least I will make it an interesting headline…)I also know too many people who talk like that. Like my dad.
@JHC, kids shirt, Too Drunk(?) To Fuck?
Man, that’s lame, yo!
word…
Maybe it’s not the jokes but the character that people find funny. He’s supposed to be some kind of Dane Cook-esque lowest common denominator type. Look at the website, he has some kind of bus tour thing on there that looks like the HBO thing Cook did a while back.
Yeah, my legs stood up and walked my body away from the computer while this was playing before I’d even noticed. Too bad, too, because Aziz Ansari’s old stand-up — a bit about DMX’s autobiography, in particular– was actually pretty amusing. Especially late, when I’m drunk. I mean you. When you’re drunk. Shut your face I can quit any time.
