Why isnt Martin considered a "new black" or "c00n" show?

[OG_StankBrefs]

you know...y'all could actually try refuting his points instead of leaving all these emotional ass responses.

Or we could laff at dat pretentious bullshyt knowin dere's a 99.9% probability dat da OP and anyone cosignin him have enjoyed and/or still currently enjoy watchin da shyt when it's on.

 

[Black smoke and cac jokes]

I never been on that militant wave so I can't speak for them but I love the show tho.

Martin's description is a little skewed breh, you're talking about earlier seasons where everyone would agree he's a failure. If you look at the later seasons then you'd see that he changes and gets his own show, take Gina on trips , and ends up marrying her showing that he knows a good woman when he sees one

shyt is amos and andy status. fukk all those hoops yall nikkas jumping though.

 

[No_bammer_weed]

You the c00n

You going off in this thread with personal attacks. Im a good guy, CHILL. Coli always tells me that black girls hate nice guys with a passion...so you must be a black girl.

 

[Ronnie Lott]

Horrible thread. That nikka actually said that Gina was racially ambiguous

 

[Ronnie Lott]

Difference is that Martin wasn't created for the enjoyment of white people. The jokes would go over their heads and it was really designed for us to poke fun at ourselves and laugh. Not c00n at all

Yall nikkas look too deep into everything.

Just live life....wasting all this energy and debating for what? You gone die and be forgotten anyways

Exactly.

Neither was hip hop.

but, I digress.

During his stint with Def Comedy Jam, Lawrence appeared in his own hit series, Martin, which aired on Fox TV.[2] The show ran from 1992 to 1997 and was an enormous success. Martinwas the flagship of Fox's Thursday-night line-up, which drew millions of viewers away from NBC's "Must See TV" line-up. He hosted Saturday Night Live on February 19, 1994, where he made crude remarks about women's genitalia and personal hygiene; the monologue was completely edited out of NBC reruns and syndicated versions, and Lawrence was banned from the show for life. Martin's ratings continued to skyrocket so much that Fox became more of a contender against NBC and came closer to being considered among the top television networks.
Yeah, I'm sure only Black people watched arguably the 2nd biggest show at the time.

The show was funny b/c most black people know people like ol Otis, like Sheneneh, like Jerome, like Tommy, like Cole, etc. And Martin Lawrence in general was a bad mofo in the early 90's. Black comedy had never seen a character like him and hasn't since.

Are you slow?

The Martin TV show did not cater to nor was it geared towards white people. White people didn't even understand the jokes or most of the material. Are you that dense?

You're just gonna keep posting this until it feels relevant?

 

[Sad Bunny]

Exactly.

Lol...I hate to be cynical but damn.

 

[Biblical Goon]

Gtfoh with this shyt...it was a different time period and in the 90s black people were united more than ever. The only reason it was casted like that because they were all comedians for the most part

 

[jadillac]

man, damn near every Black comedian after Martin imitated him in some way. You can even see it in Kevin Hart at times.
