You may have recognised this up and coming comedian in NBC’s Parks and Recreation and hamming it up as his alter-ego Raaaaaaaaaaandy on Funny or Die.

The ‘token Indian guy’ seems to be the norm nowadays, which is a move from a role that used to be filled by either the ‘token African American’ or ‘token Asian’. Comedians like Russell Peters and Aziz have also created a great following and presented routines slightly left of centre.

The bug-eyed actor, producer and writer has become ‘the token Indian guy’ in shows like Scrubs and he also made a cameo in Adam Sandler’s Funny People. If you like to piss your pants- and not because you have a weak bladder- take a look at Aziz’s work. Funny shiz.
