MAZ JOBRANI: BROWN & FRIENDLY: LIVE FROM HOLLYWOOD
Comedian Maz Jobrani showcases his brilliant and laugh-out-loud talents in his first solo stand-up comedy special.
With a unique blend of sharp wit and insightful commentary, Maz brings a fresh perspective to the comedy stage. His humor is rooted in personal experience but extends far beyond, touching upon universal themes that resonate with diverse audiences.
Key Themes Explored in the Special:
Politics: Maz dives into the complexities of global and domestic politics with a comedic lens, using satire to shed light on current events and political absurdities. He cleverly exposes the contradictions and hypocrisies found within the political landscape while maintaining a humorous tone that invites reflection alongside laughter.
Race: Addressing issues of race and identity, Maz explores the nuances of cultural diversity. He shares anecdotes about his experiences as an Iranian-American, highlighting the challenges and humorous moments that arise from living between two worlds.
Religion: With respect and humor, Maz discusses religion, poking fun at misconceptions while promoting a message of understanding and tolerance. His jokes traverse sensitive topics by emphasizing the common human experiences shared across faiths.
One of the hallmark features of "Brown & Friendly" is Maz's ability to break down stereotypes about the Middle East. In a world where media often portrays the region through a narrow and often negative lens, Maz uses comedy to challenge those preconceived notions. He humanizes Middle Eastern people by sharing relatable stories and debunking myths, effectively highlighting the rich culture, humor, and diversity found within the region.
The special is not only a platform for laughs but also serves as an educational experience that promotes cultural awareness and empathy. Maz’s storytelling skill and polished delivery engage audiences, inviting them to reconsider their biases and see beyond cultural barriers.
Additional Highlights of the Special Include:
Maz’s clever wordplay and timing that enhance the impact of his punchlines.
A candid discussion about the immigrant experience and navigating identity in America.
Humorous insights into the intricacies of family dynamics, especially within Middle Eastern households.
Reflection on global events from a personal yet comedic viewpoint.
Engaging interactions with the audience that add spontaneity and charm to the performance.
Overall, "Brown & Friendly" stands out as a powerful example of how comedy can be used as a tool to bridge cultural divides and foster understanding. Maz Jobrani’s special is both entertaining and enlightening, making it a must-watch for fans of stand-up, as well as those interested in social commentary delivered with humor and heart.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
