• Funny People's Randy Documentary and TV Spot

  The Funny People viral campaign keeps chugging along, following up the website for Aziz Ansari's character Randy with a new documentary about the fictional, Dane Cook-ish stand-up comedian. The documentary follows Randy's fast rise in the stand-up world and shows some of his enterprising marketing techniques.

  The documentary mentions Randy as having a "cameo" in the movie and, as hilarious as the documentary is, there's no telling how big Ansari's role will be. So far, he hasn't made any of the previews, including the latest TV spot:

• Funny People's Viral Campaign Adds Comedy Superstar Randy Soudha

  

  The viral campaign for Funny People started with a fictional TV show starring Jason Schwartzman's character called Yo, Teach. Next was a website for Adam Sandler's comedian character George Simmons, including clips from his "movies." The latest entry is another fictional website, this time for Aziz Ansari's character the "superstar comic" Randy Soudha, who is a mix of Dane Cook's antics and Eddie Murphy's material.

  The website includes a bio, an interactive soundbyte mixing board, and videos of Ansari – sorry, Raaaandy – performing standup (Warning: the clips are funny, but not work-friendly).
