The Illusionators
After roasting indie clerks, stalking M.I.A., and launching Tapes 'N Tapes, Aziz has teamed with fellow Human Giants Paul Scheer, Rob Huebel, and Jason Woliner (Rob Riggle cameo!) to bring magic back to the street. The sketch premiered at Pianos last year and is now web available as a preview for the troupe's MTV show. Of course Aziz predicted that it'll "get shitted on to no end in the comments." What, are Stereogum readers that negative? (Sarah Silverman, don't answer that.)

Jerry,
This was originally filmed in late 2005. It's one of the things that helped them sell the show to MTV. Also, it's great. The funeral ending is new to me and fucking hilarious.

If by "somewhat spoofing" you mean "taking every element and completely spoofing" then you sir are correct.

haha, the slow mo "grandpa" part was the best. Azis is comedy gold. Also the white dude.
Score = 0
i saw them in LA show a lot of the new videos they've made for the TV show, and they have some really really funny stuff. it's dark and smart, and hopefully will appeal to the mainstream audience of mtv. i'm crossing my fingers that mtv won't be retarded and cancel it.
