This was my takeaway after seeing him do stand-up a few times.
yep. its like he kind of ducks his Indian roots as much as possible unless its a punchline. i dont know him personally, but its odd he doesnt have much of a cultural stamp on his brand other than his skin. he's not different than any other random white comedian who idolizes black culture

he's from south carolina or some shyt so im not sure how much his parents really taught him

I don't understand his appeal at all. I don't watch Parks and Rec though.

He is not funny at all to me. His show on Netflix was ok, not sure why some people think it is some ground breaking shyt.

On a superficial note, dude is ugly as fukk. Some people should not be on tv. :ld:

He's only been the lead in his Netflix show, which I enjoyed a lot. Most of the shows/films I've seen him in he's a supporting character so we kinda need more to go on to know if he's s bad lead or not imo.

I just give him credit for never having to play a stereotypical Indian guy role in anything he's been in.

Masters of none is the new hyped cool thing, but it really is an average show. Not really funny , more insightful and interesting. But dude really does have an annoying factor to him. The novelty of him wears off quick as you realize he has to play and annoying voiced/whoa moment having/I'm kinda into random rnb and rap loving personality. Talk about actors with no range.

Master of none made me cry more than laugh.

That ending :to:
Daps/reps. Breh the last 2 endings had me super sad. I get what he was going for but jeez.

I see TS' point. Aziz' voice can get irritating after a while, and I can see why people wouldn't think he has the ability to be a convincing lead. I didn't fully buy into it and I'm fine with calling it a second rate comedy but I did enjoy it overall and laughed at quite a few parts. Some eps were much better than others. To me the dialogue was the worst part. All the characters delivered dialogue in a stuff way that I don't think was intentional, and every actor clearly was saying lines written by Aziz, which would be fine if he wasn't basically playing himself. Some scenes felt like a lot of conversations with himself, said by other people.

I liked him on parks but he could get annoying at times. I liked him on master of none. Went to to comedy cellar in the village and he did a surprise set to try out new material, i thought it was funny
