Aziz Ansari 'Parks' it at Irvine
By The Daily Pennsylvanian
Comedian Aziz Ansari speaks at Irvine Auditorium at SPEC-TRUM’s Spring Event.
“The fact that Aziz has been through college makes him really relatable,” said SPEC-TRUM Co-Director and College senior Mulu Habtemariam. “And a lot of his comedy actually sheds light on things that he experienced throughout his life, from his upbringing in the South to college at NYU.”
“I’m halfway paying attention. I turn to my friend Mulu [Habtemariam] to say something to him, but I feel something on my hair. I look down and the cashier had reached across the conveyer belt and was rubbing my hair. Her face was so gross with satisfaction. I legit could have thrown up.”
At the time, Pixel [creator] had already been working on Hair Nah, so Habtemariam — who helped work on the game — yelled out “hair nah” in response.
