one of the funniest quote in movie history
"I don't be gotten me no knife", said the actors rehearsing before the audition.
shareYeah, that's classic. My wife loves that line and is her favorite. That and "can you be more black?".
Go s!
"Ya know, stick your ass out, bug the eyes."
Bwahaha!
I also love the jive instructor (same guy) in the Black Acting School commercial. "Jive turkey muthaf*@$a!"
Hilarious!
"Jive turkey muthaf*@$a!"
Gets me every time. They don't write lines like that anymore. Too PC.
Go s! share
No, they don't write lines like that anymore because "jive ass turkey" has been replaced with less hostile terms like "bitch-ass n***a." *sarcasm alert*
This is a damn funny comedy but it's a satirical work. The jive turkey sh9t was funny because it was so ridiculous and played on stereotypes of Blackness in tv and film.
Who's too P.C.? What is P.C. anyway, being mindful and sensitive to the experience of marginalized, often powerless groups? It's not a matter of being "PC," a term that immediately raises my brow because it's mostly used pejoratively, but one of no one caring enough or having the balls or ovaries to take people to task over the crap on screen today. Since Hollywood Shuffle, I can think of three films that addressed the buffoonery pushed and propagated by the tv/film and music industries: Bamboozled, CB4, and Fear of a Black Hat.
"I ain't be got no weapon!"
You are completely correct about that!
shareWhat I mean is everything you stated.
shareLike I have stated many times before "Politically Correctness" has helped but made things worse though.
shareYes that is also some pretty funny lines there all right.
