I have no idea if this is at all related to the topic (and I realize this reads like typical HN smarter/hipper-than-thou criticism, so I apologize in advance) but while I find Aziz Ansari to be hilarious in roles (Parks & Rec, his small role in Flight of the Conchords, etc), I've seen a few of his standup shows and didn't find his own material to be particularly funny at all.
- eieio 13y agoThat's too bad, I'm a huge(huuuuuge) Parks and Rec fan, but I happen to also really enjoy some parts of his standup. I think some of his jokes suck, but some of them just crack me up. I watch a lot of standup and while I wouldn't put him at the top of my list, I definitely enjoy him. Also he has mentioned on one of his AMA's that he loves standup more than acting/anything else so it's too bad that some folks don't like his standup. Oh well, to each their own!
