The Book of comedy
When was the last time you saw a trailer for a book? It doesn’t happen often, but Aziz Ansari lives in generation now, so he understands how crucial it is to release a trailer on some rapper shit. He and sociologist Eric Klinenberg teamed up on Modern Romance, which Aziz says gathered research for over two years to shed light on what it’s like to find love in today’s world.
The clip is straight out of the ’80s and shows awkward guys in what could be considered a video ad for love, that makes you wonder if these dudes are still lonely. The cheesy music made the video hilarious and the fact Aziz called these men “bozos” was spot on. The whole thing comes across like an old late night infomercial that was made by the same guy who did the Reading Rainbow intro.
If you’ve watched his stand-up material in the past, you know Aziz loves talking about dating and romance, so maybe his new book may interest you. It is out June 16.
