Since the dawn of critical theory, essayists, novelists, playwrights, and common rapscallions alike have waxed comedic about the human condition. When confronted with the subjects that terrify humanity the most — love, marriage, children, nightclubs — we turn to vaunted wordsmiths to articulate our fears in the hopes of transcending them. So, in celebration of Aziz Ansari's third stand-up special, the Netflix original presentation Buried Alive, prepare yourselves for best online quiz you will take today.

This tradition of humor-as-guidance has helped society endure countless downswings (wars, depressions, Ed Hardy), and continues today with talented performers like Aziz Ansari. Widely considered to be the George Bernard Shaw of the modern era, Ansari is easily as prolific and insightful as Shaw, and twice as stylish. Plus, you know, he's been known to hang with Kanye.
