Aziz Ansari: Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening

Aziz Ansari: Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening
3 stars
Aziz's best bits kill, but on the whole this filmed set is uneven. It is refreshing to encounter a comic from a "non-traditional" ethnic background. Ansari lampoons his Indian-American ethnicity frequently. Probably the funniest bits involve anecdotes about his naive cousin. One wonders how well some of these jokes will age. Ansari's repeated references to Facebook and "emoticons" probably won't translate in 10 years' time. We'll probably be on to other technology-based diversions by then.
