Aziz Ansari secures a spot in Paste magazine’s best comedians of 2000-2009

Paste magazine published a top-ten list of the best comedians of the decade. At #10 is Aziz Ansari.

Here’s Aziz’s blurb:

With a cultishly popular MTV show (Human Giant), a flourishing stand-up career, a scene-stealing turn in Judd Apatow’s Funny People, and a blog he actually posts on regularly, it’s only fitting that twentysomething comic Aziz Ansari make our list. Whether he’s hanging with idol Kanye West or bloodying up Ted Leo as “Clell Tickle: Indie Marketing Guru,” Ansari stays connected to the music world while taking us all on the highway to the comedy zone. And watch out, entertainment journos; Ansari recently started writing articles for the likes of Interview. Besides, who else can lay claim to literally being the A to Z of comedy?

Congrats, Aziz!

The complete list:

  1. Dave Chappelle
  2. Zach Galifianakis
  3. Patton Oswalt
  4. Chris Rock
  5. David Cross
  6. Sarah Silverman
  7. Ricky Gervais
  8. Eugene Mirman
  9. Mitch Hedberg
  10. Aziz Ansari

    Javier Jiménez: I agree about Aziz, but not about the list overall. I would include the rest of the cast of Parks and the Office.

    Dan S Turpin: A real scene stealer! A few times he has kept the episode afloat when it might have otherwise stunk.
