Funny People’s Randy is Back With a Mix Tape and War on Justin Bieber Dan Koelsch, April 3, 2010April 3, 2010 It’s been a while since we’ve seen Aziz Ansari’s character Randy from last summer’s Funny People. The popular viral character was getting his own spin off, but no more news about that has surfaced. Fortunately, the fake comedian has turned up recently with a new website and claims that pop star Justin Bieber stole his song. Ansari’s Randy is a comedian who is more of a vulgar performer than a comedian, even having a DJ when he performs. Now Randy and music producer Dave Sitek are working on a mix tape, and they have a blog, aptly titled Randy Mixtape, to promote it. It’s quite hilarious, since Randy can’t get any rappers to perform on the record, as he mentions in his single “Aaaaaaangry”, which you can listen to below. Randy is also making claims that Justin Bieber stole his new hit song “Baby” from the comedian. Check out the Funny or Die video below, which includes a ridiculous reenactment.
