Aziz Ansari And I Are Basically The Same Person

 Maybe the title of this post is taking things a bit too far. Aziz Ansari and I are not long lost twins, I am not his clone, my skin is as white as the driven snow, I don't possess a penis, and I can only be funny on paper (for the most part), but still, I get him. He is hilarious in everything I have seen him in and I feel like he asks the same questions on his new show that I ask myself internally every single day.

I don't know how many of you have had the opportunity to watch Aziz Ansari's new show Master Of None, but I know how many of you should rush to your Netflix watching devices and immediately binge watch every episode. Every. Single. One. Of. You.


This is Dev. He is my hero.




I was super excited to see that he titled his show Master Of None and told my husband, "Look! His show name and my blog name are similar!!" And, my husband had to point out that they were actually the exact opposite because technically he would be a jack of all trades, and I do not have a single trade to claim.


WHATEVER, WE COULD BE BEST FRIENDS IN REAL LIFE, OK???! 


Anyway, this isn't going to be some long, poignant post about my life skills (or lack thereof), or passionate opinions, or hilarious life observations. I'm just giving a shout out to Aziz for being himself and making a living at it. And, seriously, if you haven't seen the show, do it NOW.

  1. I'm so glad I have this to look forward to. A few years ago Ansari was here in Nashville and did a spontaneous, unannounced late night show at a recording studio. I'm still not sure how word got around but people were lined up around the block. He was trying out new material which I would have loved to have seen but I only read about it later.

    And you are just like him. You're the evil twin.

  2. A little embarrassed here, we're probably the only family without Netflix. My boys are mortified. I'm sure the teasing is unbearable. I just broke down and paid for Amazon Prime so I'm sure it's just a matter of time before we get Netflix, especially when I see what I'm missing damnit! Looks like a good show.

    1. It is soooo funny! We are the only family I know without cable and my kids will probably need therapy for all of the pop culture references that are totally lost on them.

  3. I'm thinking this is your opportunity to become fast friends with him. This post is an excellent shout out to him. He needs a tweet with a link to your blog!

    1. Haha, Sandra! I did tweet something and tagged him in it yesterday. He probably has all kinds of crazy up on his Twitter feed.
