Kanye West: Famous

Written, directed and starring Aziz Ansari and Eric Wareheim (aka Lil Bud and Big Bud), this not-necessarily-official video for Kanye West’s “Famous” also features a lot of pasta, wine and dancing around Italy (as well as some car-humping). Part artistic gem, part vacation slideshow, the video is absurd—and very sweet. While maybe a seemingly odd match for West’s track (which features Rihanna and Swizz Beats, and samples the ever-perfect Sister Nancy), the postcard-style clip is a delightfully wacky three-way love letter between Ansari, Wareheim and food. (Note: the video also potentially works as a trailer for season two of Ansari’s Netflix show “Master of None.”)
