:francis:Does most of black comedians material comes from race or relationship drama observations? I know that’s a big part of life but it’s not everything. Are there any black comics that just talk about random strange observations outside of race or relationships, or maybe ventriliquists or other prop comic or would that be corny? I’m not saying comedians should be on some post racial, non controversial stuff but mix it up. I feel like there’s a standard black comedy template that everyone follows. The same thing goes for branching out with the type of TV shows and movies blacks write but thats another story. The only one I can think of that is kind of unique is Donald Glover but even he does it sometimes. Do any black comedians just smash fruit? :ohhh:

Key and peele's first season humor was very cacish. A black comic smashing watermelons is the last thing we need nikka are u nuts

They do a lot of race sketches, why is outside race and relationships cacish? Doesn't have to be watermelon per se but that wasn't necessarily my point just different kinds of comedy.

That's another thing, I would like to see a show where the comic doesn't say, "any white people in the audience or address them for whatever reason". i like katt but he does that a lot

hannibal burress puts a black spin on cac humor but he makes it work, just random type shyt, dude would go on tangents about the most irrelevant things in life and make it laughable and relatable
