			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you haven&#8217;t seen the videos of the Dane Cook-like, fictional comedian (played by Aziz Anzari)  circulating around the internet the past month, you&#8217;ve been sleeping on your reader.</p>
<p><object id="ordie_player_831d00b667" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="512" height="328" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="flashvars" value="key=831d00b667" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://player.ordienetworks.com/flash/fodplayer.swf" /><param name="name" value="ordie_player_831d00b667" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><embed id="ordie_player_831d00b667" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="512" height="328" src="http://player.ordienetworks.com/flash/fodplayer.swf" quality="high" name="ordie_player_831d00b667" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="key=831d00b667"></embed></object></p>
<p>The fake documentary clips have earned millions of hits on <a href="http://www.funnyordie.com/">FunnyOrDie</a> and the <a href="http://funnypeoplemovie.com">Funny People official site</a>. What&#8217;s interesting to me is that, while the other viral videos launched to promote the film all featured bigger names (the <a href="http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/883012ef3f/yo-teach-epk">Yo&#8217; Teach</a> clips with Jason Shwartzman, the <a href="http://www.george-simmons.com/">fake films</a> of Adam Sandler&#8217;s character, etc&#8230;), the only spots to have gotten traction are the ones with a (relative) unknown. To the point where they&#8217;re even talking about doing a feature length Raaaaaaaaandy! project. It&#8217;s a cool example of a marketing campaign taking on a life of it&#8217;s own.</p>
<p>And it also speaks to Ansari&#8217;s web-savvy, as he has been hyping the spots on his <a href="http://azizisbored.tumblr.com/">tumblr</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/azizansari">twitter</a> constantly. Go ahead, laugh your dick off.</p>
