Favorite 'In Living Color' Bit

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

[MaggieSwanson]

1. Anton, the financially-impaired

wino played by Damon Wayans.

Remember when he told the recruiter he had some killer nerve gas?

Or when he taught us all how to build a cardboard house using natural adhesive?

still :rofl: after all these years!

[ghostsofgiants]

3. Haha, yes!

[mykpart]

2. Jim Carrey as a female bodybuilder.

Don't remember what her name was.

[Zookeeper]

4. Oh yeah....

"She" had short pigtails high on her head and a big gap between her teeth. 'Can't remember the name, but I sure remember the image.

Fireman Bill was my favorite, although Homie the Clown was good, too.

That was a great show.

[Vektor]

7. Vera DeMilo!

Oh, GOD that was funny!

[mduffy31]

5. Can't remember the bit's name

but Damon as the Jailhouse Lawyer who would misuse the language everytime he spoke.

[laheina]

6. Does Jim Carrey as Vanilla Ice qualify as a "bit"? nt

[SmileyBoy]

8. "All Up In The Family"

"And you knew who you were then.... There were no Black Republicans.... Mister we could use a man like Marcus Caulby again..."

:rofl:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

9. Homey the Clown.

I remember one sketch where Homey was lecturing some kindergartners.

He was going through the letters of the alphabet (A for apple, etc.). Then he asked what a word for the letter "C" would be. A white girl said, "Complaining. That's what my dad says black people do."

Homey hit her upside the head with his stuffed sock, then said, "Now we come to the letter 'D," which stands for your DUMBASS dad."

:rofl:

11. Gotta go with Homey

My fave was when he sells out and starts working for the man. At the end of the skit, he's walking into Chez Whitey with "the man" and a little kid yells out "you're not Homey the Clown - you're Homey the Man." Homey turns around in slo-mo and you see a lone tear stream down his face.

:rofl:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

12. LOL, yep.

BTW, how are you doing, alarcojon? We're all pulling for you, man. :hug:

[alarcojon]

13. Right now, everything is going as well as can be expected

(which is to say pretty well) but the road ahead is long and uncertain. PM me if you want to know more. And thanks for the kind words.

[Deja Q]

10. Since all the season 2 and forward music video parodies are nixed,

Men on ________.

(season 1 has all the music video bits, it's also why it costs more... season 2 lacks the Vanilla Ice bit, but judging by its price has got some of the others left in...)

[Brewman_Jax]

14. Don't forget "Hey, mon!"

the story of the Headleys, the hardest working Jamaican family.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

15. Yeah I thought of that but forgot the name of the show. I liked it when

they ran an airline, too...

[no name no slogan]

20. "When I was your age, I had FITTY jobs, mon"

I loved that bit! IIRC one of the family members was the nose landing gear on a jet. :rofl:

[dubyaD40web]

16. Damon Wayans as the homeless guy

Remember the pickle jar he used to carry around as hit toilet? LMAO. I like the fake "poo" they had in it.

[Crazy Dave]

17. Men on Film

Two snaps up!

[Cush]

19. In Z Formation!

[NNadir]

18. Men on film. I can't say I "hated it," because I loved it.

[swag]

21. This cool thing where the Fly Girls were doing a bent-over butt dance

at the end of the show.

I was in some hotel replay zone so I benefited twice on first broadcast.

[Shakespeare]

22. Head Detective and Handi-man rocked.

And Carrey's Xena spoof was classic, too...
