Aziz Ansari: Right Now

There were a ton of white people jokes here, and as a white person, I was NOT triggered or offended at all. Jokes are jokes and if you can't take one, you need to fuck right off. I for one was always on the side of Aziz throughout the entire bogus ordeal he had to go through, and it's great to see him back doing what he's good at.

Aziz wisely and maturely addressed the elephant in the room, and then went on to do a pretty solid set. Ironically, I think Aziz is and has always been at his best when making fun of the type of comedy he wants to be above (see, e.g., his character Randy). But even the more earnest(?) comedy is good.

Aziz made me laugh a good deal here while mostly avoiding the constant virtue signaling of his series. Using his "woke" mindset he's able to gently poke at the constant overreach of that crowd here w/out angering them. I mean who else but Aziz could figure out how to spin 2 years of being uncertain whether or not his career would be destroyed as the result of a ridiculous #MeToo accusation into a learning experience he's grateful for? I'm not sure he truly believes that but it sure got applause.

We enjoyed this but I think something must have happened to him that we weren't aware of that made some parts seem out of place. Still fun, for sure.

jonze sayesinde görsel olarak birçok stand-up gösterisinden ayrılıyor fakat özellikle seyircilerin kurguya dalga geçer gibi yedirilişiyle ansari'nin mizah tarzına daha uygun bir işe dönüşüyor.

Solid set coming off a difficult transition for Ansari. He's engaging, but the whispering voice was a bit annoying at times for me personally. If you are a fan, you will enjoy.

Back when this came out, it was the first standup special I watched in ages. It reminded me why I stopped. This profession should be expunged, Bo Burnham got it right by leaving, otherwise you may become someone like Aziz, manipulating language of unity to sidestep being held accountable for his failures as a human bring. Even when he admits to doing wrong he seeks validation or redemption via becoming a sage through his STRUGGLE. Pfft. Dan Harmon got this arc right, nobody else so far.

It's unfortunate he is so weak (not unfunny as a comedian but weak as a character) in his sincere moments.
