Hey take it easy! I'm Aziz Ansari. I'm a comedian and actor. This is my new hour standup special Dangerously Delicious. You can buy it for $5 and download or stream it right away.
I filmed this special at the Warner Theatre in DC in June of 2011 after a long tour. I funded the production myself so I could own it and release it how I pleased. I wanted to release it online because I saw how many people viewed clips from my last special online on sites like YouTube. I also like releasing it myself because there are no commercials, bleeps, or any of that stuff. This is exactly like it was if you saw the live show. After seeing the success of Louis CK's special (which was released in a similar fashion) and numerous people asking me if I would do the same, this seemed like the best route.
Due to an existing contract with Comedy Central from my last special, I can't release audio, I only own rights to the video. I may release the audio through a more traditional route later down the road, but that is TBD. Only on the video do I own the rights to do something like release direct for $5. If you want audio, my best suggestion is to download the special and close your eyes after hitting play.

That's weird, make sure that you aren't do any other high bandwidth things at the same time, or that there aren't any active issues/firewalls with your ISP.
For all these devices, you need to download to your computer FIRST and then sync it to your device.
For example, iPad's can't save files, so you need to download on your computer and then sync to iTunes by dragging the file to iTunes. The file itself is compatible with all of the above mentioned devices, and any other device that can play a true .mp4 file.
It's possible that the computer you're using does not have the proper codecs to play the file. If you download the free, open source, VLC player available here, you should be able to play the special without any problems. If you're still having trouble, make sure that the file has been downloaded in its entirety and the file size listed on the site (SD at 603MB, and HD at 1.6GB) is what you're seeing has been downloaded on your computer.
That's very weird. Make sure that all of your software (the player, browser, etc.) is up-to-date, but also check and see if there are any issues or firewalls with your internet service provider. If you still have problems, email support@azizansari.com.

Whoa whoa, let's calm down. Contact support@azizansari.com or tweet at @azizsupport. Don't forget to include the email address you registered with and a short little explanation of what's not working. Expect a response within the next business day.
