:yeshrug: Not a 80s baby but he lives in the same realm as the Madeas, Peewees, and Mr. Beans.
What's the funniest Madea movie? Because y'all putting the character up there with some classic names. I want to see if the comparison is fair.

:russ:Me categorizing Madea along side the Pee-Wees, Mr. Beans, and Earnests. Has nothing to do with the quality of their movies/shows lol. They're all popular exaggerated characters/alter egos. With multiple specials, movies, and tv shows.

Even as a kid in the 80s it never got so much as a chuckle from me. But he was popular af for some reason. Them checks must've been hitting though.

Funny how life works, isn't it? Just like discovering that a classically trained Shakespearean actor spent most of his career as Earnest. It's as unexpected as learning Leslie Nielsen, of all people, was also a classically trained stage actor too! :ehh:


I never knew that Airplane was his first comedic role. shyt is wild.
