Thanks to Funny or Die (today: “Bieber or Die,” as Bieber has apparently bought the site and turned into a fan site) for bringing us all together with this clip where Raaaaaaaandy (Aziz Ansari) claims that Bieber’s hit “Baby” is really just a rip-off of his potential smash hit, “Baby Baby.” Also involved? Pot Smoking, knee shooting, studio trashing. Watch carefully for TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek and Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Nick Zinner who appear as Raaaaaaaandy’s backing band. More
