I wasn't alive during In Living Color, this shyt got me dying

[Geek Nasty]

They were kind of the bad boys of comedy. And TONS of people started careers off that show

 

[Michael's Black Son]

fukkin hilarious.

SNL ain’t have shyt on In Living Color

 

[Originalman]

These two skits could never be done today.

 

[Mowgli]

Dumb ol Duke

 

[KING WILL]

This was a whole family in front of the TV type of shows.

 

[Higher Tech]

It was as big as Dave Chapelle show as far as impact within our community. Everybody was talking about it, everywhere.

 

[Higher Tech]

Everybody quoting this shyt every Monday morning at school.

Bro Im still quoting a bunch of the obscure stuff. “Like to hear it, here it go!” I swear I find a way to say that once a week.

 

[No Ma’am]

Damon and David were killing it



"All you gotta do is take the blue ball and start running."

"Wait isn't that going to hurt you??"










"...Now lets not forget the movie Octop*ssy."

"HATED IT!"

They consistently shytting on all the female movies and actresses

Threads like these are crushing instead of making me nostalgic in a happy way, they seem to only magnify just how fake, plastic, and scripted for social media, life has become. Not to mention the overbearing censorship of certain topics and jokes. I should be in here laughing at all these clips being posted ... but it's actually quite disheartening man... to know that we will never be this open and free-spirited like this ever again, it sucks and it's hard for me to just roll with the laughs while simultaneously being reminded of what's lost.

In living color, Martin, Fresh Prince, The Cosby Show, A Different World, Family Matters....EVERY week was an entire squid games run breh

That's how lit the 90s was for black sitcoms...we didn't know how good we had it brehs

We had all those great shows during primetime, and Arsenio during late night.
WATTBA

I haven't watched this shyt as an adult. I only use to catch it when everyone in my house use to watch it when I was 6/7. This was the mid 90s too but I didn't know back then I was watching a classic show. I never really understood the skits so the only things that stood out to me were the stage dancers and Damon Wanans and Jamie because my dad took us to see The Great White Hype in theaters and I recognize his face.

 

[Hawaiian Punch]

even without clicking this I know this gotta be the wrath of Farrakhan episode.

 

[FS4LFE]

One day we need to discuss the Wayans family and their greatness.

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

I think the best thing about this thread is that the youngins of The Coli are seeing comedy genius within clips. Kinda like how youngins were embracing music from the 70s and 80s, along with movies from those times as well. Just the mere fact that The Wayans played a big part in comedy only for them to get thrown in the back just kills such a vibe.

The Wayans, Robert Townsend, Richard Pryor, and Fred Sanford help paved the way for black folks to stunt on these Cacs, only for personal demons, hollyweird, and big time networks to halt the movement. Yet, this thread makes you appreciate the unapologetic black excellence of comedy fukkery
