Netflix played a comedian’s subtitles over a nature documentary and it was incredible

Bring the internet in 2016 to an immediate halt: no story can hope to surpass this one.

We've delved into the joyous online underworld that is Netflix software glitches before, but this is the cock-up the world has been waiting for. If you're not aware of Aziz Ansari, he's a very funny American stand-up comedian and actor, best known for playing Tom Haverford in Parks And Recreation and, more recently, his critically acclaimed rom-sitcom, Master of None. But we're pretty sure 33-year-old Ansari will agree with us that Netflix accidentally overlaying subtitles from one of his comedy shows onto a BBC nature documentary is probably the pinnacle of his career to date. A Redditor by the name of BenMeiri84 posted a link to an Imgur gallery that he claimed contained screenshots his friend had taken while watching a BBC doc that looks a lot like Planet Earth.  The streaming app had apparently glitched, though, which caused it to guide viewers through the programme with quotes from Ansari's Live at Madison Square Garden Netflix comedy special. We thought nobody could top the mighty David Attenborough for narration, but this messed up version is like Aardman's Creature Comforts, except real and much more potty-mouthed. This being the internet and everything, we can't confirm that the story happened as Ben Meiri 84 (can't be offending the other 83 Bens now can we) tells it, but every freeze-frame is so good that it almost doesn't matter. Stay buggy, Netflix. Stay buggy.
