Aziz Ansari returns with a new Netflix comedy special July 9th
- Thread starter Deleted member 5853
- Start date
Would love a third series. One of the best comedies I've seen in the last 5 years.
Netflix does a good line in subtle relationship comedies (MoN, Easy, Love).
I think they will. He seems to be of the "Curb Your Enthusiasm gets a new Season When Larry David feels he know what to do with it" mindset.
Believe he said it was on hiatus until they had the right approach for S3.
Depends on how this special goes. If he feels repentant or does a louis ck thing and doubles down

I really hope this is not an hour-long double down and it actually contains some reflection on the event. It would really suck if Aziz was yet another feminist in name only, and chose to lash out as "outrage culture", "PC culture", etc etc.
God I would rather him not address the whole thing rather than come off a sexist fuck. Unlike Louis ck some self reflection could really just put the whole thing behind him.
But master of none season 2 is one my favorite show seasons on Netflix. I hope it gets brought back

Lol, my mind glanced over Asari and Netflix and I got excited. Now I'm not.
I have 0 interest in stand up comedy, so this ain't for me. Call me when he makes MoN S3.
to some people yea
and i know people liked S2 of Master of None but i was disappointed by it
tragedy + time + thought = comedy. IF he doesnt talk about a huge thing happening in his life right after this great high (season 2 MoN) i think would make him a weird or bad comedian.

Here's mine: Why don't you GTFO this thread?
Sure I was just saying I would rather not hear about it if it's going to be some "bitches be crazy" comedy routine. And honestly I dont think he is that great at standup to begin with so I would rather him channel whatever he wanted to say into a new season of master of none. He would also have much better feedback there.
I saw his standup act on this tour. He mentions the stuff that happened, and sounded remorseful, and as a whole it was fine as part of his set.
Remind me again, what did he do?
As for this special, cool i really lime his style and i to got more excited thinking it was related to Master of none. Will watch

I saw him and Dave in Austin about a month ago. An amazing night. Aziz's set is pretty good -- it'll rattle some chains, but it's not too bad. He confronted the situation and talked about how it affected him.
He did a show in Dublin last week or so and mentioned the whole thing and how he feels about it - here's a review with some info:
He had sex with a girl who later said he came on too strong* for her liking even though it was all consensual. A lot of people thought it was a questionable article in general at the time of the writing so he wasn't "canceled" but he did step out of the spotlight for awhile. I don't think he really had anyone else speak out against him.. certainly not en masse. I think it was viewed potentially as hypocritical though since he had his book about dating, etc.
Edit: Removed "a bit."

He repeatedly shoved his fingers down her throat and pushed her head down to his crotch after she had shown discomfort. I think that was a bit more than "coming on too strong".
Assuming this is pulled from the material he was touring on last year, he addresses it and does sound reflective on it. Definitely at least doesn't sound like he went the Louis route of, uh, blaming trans people and Parkland kids.
i hope talks about what happened. crack a few jokes to lighten the mood then talk about him trying to better his behavior and acknowledging what he did was wrong. dont want to see him go the louis ck route and just make jokes about how people today are ohh soo sensitive.
