If you've seen In Living Color...

Alright, I'm not sure how many are familiar with the show..but there's this one particular skit they do and David Alan Grier and Kim Wayans play these 2 elder couple, when people are around they act very nice to each other/act like they're still in love. But when nobody's around, they start being mean to each other/even trying to kill/hurt each other, lol. Not only that they refer to each other as 'Mr. Brooks' & 'Mrs. Brooks'..now I dunno if all that is a coincidence..but that makes me think about this movie..you think that ILC skit could be a reference, or not?

I don't know about that. I get your train of thought, but in the movie the character Clarice Taylor plays would never talk back to her husband.

Well the movie is on TCM right now, and there are definitely are similarities.

And Mrs.Brooks talks behind her husband's back. :)

I also think the Wayans brothers got the idea for "White Chicks" from Godfrey Cambridge in "Watermelon Man".

I'm watching the movie right now on TCM as well and thought the same thing. Hahaha.

A wife talking behind her husband's back?!? Now there's something you don't see every day. lol

This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here.

I remember these skits from In Living Color very well, and I always assumed it was a take-off from this movie, as they did with other movies and TV shows. The similarities are too obvious for it not to be.

I wondered the same thing!
