But this spoof video, while still showing the upmost respect for Mr West, is most certainly a lighthearted tribute. Neither actually attempts to sync up with West’s controversy-courting lyrics; instead, Ansari cues up Swizz Beatz’ “Goddamn!” on every unbelievable bite of food or sip of wine he encounters. Donning the nicknames Lil Bud and Big Bud (Ansari and Wareheim, respectively), the two are shown chomping down on pasta and showing off their best dance moves all around the country.

Rather than invest his time in making music videos, Kanye West has chosen to just keep releasing The Life of Pablo updates. Still, it doesn’t quite hold up to the mighty precedent set by Zach Galifianakis in his unofficial video for Kanye’s “Can’t Tell Me Nothing”.
The comedian and director are in the Italian capital to film the second season of Netflix’s comedy series, Master of None, according to Rolling Stone.
