According to Aziz Ansari, there are only three things you need to know:

1. Y’all ain’t ready. 2. Motherfuckers need to know. 3. Get yo’ shit.The actor and comedian’s alter ego, Raaaaaaaandy is currently working with TV On The Radio’s Dave Sitek, The Have and DJ Granwizerd on a hip hop mixtape that will drop sometime in February.

Ansari has never kept his love of hip hop a secret. Back in September, the comedian released a pretty hilarious “remix” of Jay-Z’s “Hate,” where he takes those annoying DJ blurts on mixtapes to some manic degrees.

‘Raaaaaandy’ Movie A Go: Judd Apatow Picks Up 3 Projects By Aziz Ansari & ‘Human Giant’ Writer

Considering how much director Judd Apatow loved the character Raaaaaaaandy, played by comedian, Aziz Ansari in “Funny People,” surely this news is not surprising to anyone.

Apatow through his deal at Universal has picked up three comedy pitches from Ansari and his former “Human Giant” writer buddy Jason Woliner. Aziz is a fairly well-known comic, but he and Woliner (plus Rob Huebel, Paul Scheer), really made their mark on mainstream comedy with their short-lived MTV comedy sketch show.

Aziz Ansari Is Raaaaaaandy: Another Documentary

Rodrigo Perez — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 22:14:00 +0000

Another “Funny People,” viral clip that’s… supposed to be not be funny, right? Yes, it’s supposed to be so bad, it’s good or some inverse irony like that? It’s actually kind of annoying and we love Ansari and are looking fwd to the Judd Apatow-directed film, but this feels like something Ansari shot on his own and not within the tone of what Apatow normally shoots and in fact, that’s exactly the case. These Randy documentaries were directed by Jason Woliner from “Human Giant.” Seriously, does anyone find this funny?

Looks like Judd Apatow’s upcoming “Funny People,” dramedy is yielding what could be some pretty funny spin-offs for deeper DVD treats.

In the film, Jason Schwartzman (who’s also doing the music for the film) plays a TV star on a fake show called, “Yo Teach.”

He explained what the meta teacher show was about to ComingSoon: “[The fictional show] fits in somewhere between ‘Dangerous Minds’ and ‘The Cable Guy.’ I’m a teacher.

Will Arnett ‘Human Giant’ Sex-Tape Sketch Is So Fucking Wrong, It’s Right

Rodrigo Perez — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 21:41:00 +0000

Wow, this has absolutely nothing to do with movies or music or where the twain shall meet, but holy fuck is this skit so wrong, but sooo right. The clip is from MTV’s sketch comedy show “Human Giant,” where three of the show’s comedians (Aziz Ansari, Rob Huebel, Paul Scheer) play paparazzos trying to sneak into an L.A. event in order to get better photo access to celebs.

Without revealing too much, they put on cheap-ass masks pretending to be Mary-Kate & Ashley Oslen and get more than they bargained for when they inadvertently suck the creepy Will Arnett (“Arrested Development”) into a gruesome tryst.
