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

Out of all the shyt people have and will call c00nish shyt. What separates Martin from any of it. It might actually be God Tier level c00ning.

Couldn't tell u I haven't seen an episode in 20 years and that was before I knew what c00ning was. I just don't remember it being funny.

I mean... I am just assuming he put in his hard work to get on the show. You don't just walk into a radio show gig, you have to seek it out., maybe seek a formal education. It eliminates all three of those traits in my humble opinion. I honestly stopped reading at that first part. About to light this vape and catch up on GoT

Y'all keep acting like Martin is the pinnacle of black television achievement, and the "GOAT siticom" but Im surprised the show hasnt raised y'all ire given the coli militant standards, and yall collective ability to turn everything into degradation of the black race:

The central character is Martin, who is unserious, unfocused, unintelligent and lives so far off on the economic margins that he can only afford a modest apt in a low income area of detroit, which could be a housing project if you look at the building and those who live there hard enough.

Martin, of course, plays a host of characters who are all dumber than the next. One a is female named 'Sheneneh' (black male emasculation? gay agenda?), who seems to be written with the sole intent of maxing out on every bad black woman stereotype ever invented.

His two best friends are Cole and Tommy. The former is a barely functioning retard, and the latter is best known for not having a job.

Martin's girlfriend is Gina, who enjoyed the best written character on the show. She's extremely bright, and the only one thats clearly college educated. She's successful, not promiscuous, logical, the emotional and moral anchor in almost every situation, and always the voice of reason amongst a sea of idiots. And also not so coincidentally she was the lightest person on the show --- her skin so light in fact she was practically racially ambiguous.

Pam is Gina's best friend. Her character isnt too offensive, but she was clearly written to serve as Gina's inferior and chosen as Martin's foil for a reason. She gets by on her sex appeal and little else --- certainly not her integrity, which is always painted as being low to non-existent.

The rest of the show is filled out by a motley crew of aimless low lifes --- bruh man? hustle man? Stan, the station manager at WZUP????

I know its just a show designed for jokes, but logic like that hasnt stopped ya'll before. What gives?

Not c00ning. The show was funny for black folks. By 90s standards. Now if that shyt came out today...:beli:

However, everything in the op is true And should make you think. It was a comedy made by Martin. His style was always animated and he was true to that.

Tldr ;

Is it c00ning? STOP...think about it!
