Aziz Ansari's character, Randy, proved to be so popular on the set with the cast and crew that Judd Apatow shot a Randy "documentary" and is developing a Randy feature film. Ansari also incorporated Randy into his regular stand-up act. Ansari has said that he based Randy on Soulja Boy. He imagined what if Soulja Boy was a stand-up comedian and wrote jokes based on that idea.
