Shittiest Mix Tape Hits NYC Streets

Aziz Ansari lost a bet and was forced to carry around a boombox playing the world's shittiest mixtape. The look on his face as he approaches E 4th Street blasting the Dawson's Creek theme is priceless. A video of his adventure screened at Crash Test and you can watch it here.

I hope he was drunk. No man should have to live through that sober.

the fact that he had a camera following him takes most of the embarassment out of it. it makes it obvious that it's some kind of stunt.

I knew crazytown would make the cut. Some morbidly curious part of me wants to know what was on the losing mixtape...

The shots from Washington Square Park and Tompkins Square Park were shot from a distance.

Also, nothing makes lugging around a large boombox blasting Crazy Town less embarrassing. Trust me.

Fitch...)
2. Crazy Town - Butterfly

that was the best two minutes of my life. so good that i even showed my boss. thanks for the laugh.

the sad thing is my friend was married to some socialite broad who dumped him for the singer of crazytown. how horrifying.

I agree. In this challenge, someone should of broke out the Hanson.

Though, I did crack up the most at the Dawson's Creek theme.

This movie is priceless. Unfortunately, that shitty song mix tape played out like a Billboard Top 20 collection.
