It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

I used to love Aziz, but honestly I couldn't get past the 12 minute mark on this one, because all he did was joke about pedophilia and the sole existence of babies - the babies didn't bother me as much cause I'm not a fan either. Joking about pedophilia is NOT OK, specially the way he made it sound like, saying he was such a cute kid he's surprised he was never raped! Or how kids who get molested by someone they know keep "letting" that happen. WTF, he really lost my respect right there; not funny, extremely disrespectful and stupid. I could never expect that from the creator of Master of None, which is a great funny series that approaches sexism and racism is a fun yet criticizing way, from someone who has always presented himself as someone politically correct, and one of the very few comedians who can make jokes that do not disrespect the existence of others. Big disappointment.

The core aspect to Aziz Ansari's standup, from his previous specials Dangerously Delicious and Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening, is his ability to create random tangents. Here is the structure: 1) Aziz encounters something absurd or silly. 2) He deconstructs it with logic. 3) He then expands the absurd concept on imaginary random tangents. For his last special, this got repetitive and I distinctly remember zoning out until he changed it up. They're funny anecdotes, but the core message under his bits don't hold water because we know these imaginary tangents he exits his jokes on never happened. More importantly, they never could happen.He has improved upon this for Buried Alive, no longer relying on anecdotes of meeting strange people or talking about his oddball cousin Harris or Kayne West stories. Instead he focuses his logic and ability to create imaginary scenarios onto real life. In Buried Alive, it's mostly centered upon the subjects of dating, marriage and raising a family. The difference is, he has a point of view and uses his humor to highlight his fears and trepidations about marriage, the massive responsibilities of marriage and raising a child and how strange dating has become in the day of modern technology.My two favorite segments where Aziz does crowd work, a considerably risky move for a comedian taping a comedy special. He interviews a couple on how they got engaged and another woman about receiving obscene penis photos from men. It's in these segments where he displays his immediate comedic reflexes, quickly spinning jokes out of people's answers. He probably has performed this a thousand times touring the country with this hour, but it still had a raw quality to it that brought genuine surprises. These were the highlights of the special.There's one portion where Aziz boasts how many white women he beds to argue how pointless it is for people being against interracial dating. I agree with his point. I don't even like the word 'interracial' as a concept. But the fact that he put himself above the audience for a laugh seemed off color for a moment.Part of the fun of following an artist is watching them grow. For that reason, fans that have watched Aziz's two previous specials will probably enjoy this one more. This is Aziz Ansari's best comedy hour thus far and he knows it. He has found meaningful things to say and more clever ways to deliver them.

Aziz Ansari focuses his unique viewpoint on pending adulthood, babies, marriage and love in the modern era.I love his point of view on having children, especially given how many comics are writing material based around their spouse and children. You may or may not agree with him, but it is a fresh perspective that clearly has a market.And then, of course, you have to have the "blue humor" focused around child molestation and sending photos of private parts to others. Somehow, Ansari manages to be dirty without coming across as dirty. In fact, he seems quite sterile in comparison to many comics out there.The Seal bit is repeated from an earlier tour, but it is still funny.

Thank you, Aziz Ansari, for putting the words we think in this hour of laughter about the more important things in mankind. You speak of things that are common sense without making any hate. For me explaining these kinds of things to people around me is impossible, because they don't have other options but to be against my thoughts. Finally there is something I can show to those who ask me: "Why are you wasting your life with yourself and not starting your family already? You are 27 years old!" This is a must see for everyone. I hope there will be Aziz Ansari explaining things every year at least once. Happy Birthday to me. Thank you.
