Last week Universal Pictures released the first part of a documentary series profiling Randy (a character played by Aziz Ansari), a rising stand-up comic who is “featured in the new film Funny People.” This morning, the second part has been released on FunnyOrDie. In Part 2 of Raaaaaaaandy, the stand-up comic talks about why his comedy is so funny, how he improves his art, traveling and “upgrading” another comic’s joke. Watch the video embedded after the jump.

Over the past few years, writer/director Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up) has shown that nothing—not even losing your virginity or the miracle of childbirth—is sacred. About his third film behind the camera, he says, “I’m trying to make a very serious movie that is twice as funny as my other movies. Wish me luck!” Apatow directs Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen and Leslie Mann in Funny People, the story of a famous comedian who has a near-death experience.Adam Sandler, Eric Bana, Jason Schwartzman, RZA and newcomer Aubrey Plaza join a cast that reunites Judd Apatow with Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann and Jonah Hill in their third comedy together.

Funny People hits theaters on July 31st 2009.

    Haha. Awesome
  • Moadeeb
    i think he based this character on dane cook
  • Probably a mixture of Comedians he's lampooning. Plagiarists, like Carlos Mencia and Dane Cook. Low brow comedians, such as Larry the Cable Guy. Comedians who bank on their catchphrases.
  • i thought Katt Williams at first honestly. but Cook, Mencia, and Larry the Cable Guy are all equally annoying, unoriginal, and unfunny
  • kingjimbo
    Katt is actually funny though. And has some interesting things to say, if you're willing to put up with his voice for long enough (which I'll admit can definitely be difficult).

    But this has Dane "Le Douche" Cook written all over it, a fact which is more apparent in Part 1, where you see a longer section of his routine.

    God I hope Dane Cook watches these, then subsequently has to cry himself to sleep every night.
  • Was it me or was that asinine and just annoying? Really thought that sucked.
  • Chris Lucas
    The whole things a joke...I really hope you got that.
  • khbh
    the comic who Raaaaaaaandy heckled was the guy that was always rapping in UNDECLARED
  • sanyo
    That's where I've seen him before! Thanks, that was bothering the hell out of me.
  • i hate the RAAAAANDY character's standup but this was pretty funny and i really like Aziz in his other stuff.
  • I don't think raaaaaaandy's standup is supposed to be funny.
  • Yeah I really hope Randy isn't supposed to be humorous outright. The only way it's funny is if it's lampooning Dane Cook. The standup is dumb as hell on it's own, mainly because it looks like Dane Cook...
  • quintushalls
    haha, I hope Dane Cook watches this and actually understands it, but chances are, he won't get it.
  • My god! They did it perfectly, it's like Carlos Mencia+Orny Adams+Dane Cook.
  • Ben
    Any undeclared fans out there? the bearded comedian on tour with randy is perry the bland guy from their hall.
