In living color was one of the best shows ever created. They "pushed the envelope" even more than SNL. Some truly talented people emerged from the show, including Jamie Foxx, Jim Carrie, David Alan Grier, JLo, and of course the super talented Wayans family.
100 percent. I have a theory - not original. People got soft. But soft doesn't mean spew racist crap and then call people "snowflakes." I mean soft as can't take REAL equal opportunity satire the way In Living Color did. And the way Family Guy still does.
@@buckster2575The humor was funnier on SNL way back, "Canteen boy" Shweaty balls" "Gumby" "Baba Wawa" " I need more cowbell" "Van down by the river"" Chippendales" "D**k in a box" just about anything with Eddie Murphy, Phil Hartman and Andy Samberg was funny. Way back they had skit with Mr and Mrs.Douche bag, 😂😂😂
I used to absolutely love this show. Homey the clown, Homey don't play that. Then the movie "I'm gonna get you sucka" was a classic. The parody of Shabba Ranks, "mr ugly man" was amazing.
it was actually not good at all and was a hit-piece. Snow was 100% embraced by the Caribbean communities around the world and still is today. won 7 of 8 of the song of the year awards he was nominated for last year.

Thing is, Jim Carrey grew up about a half hour-45 min north of where Snow grew up. The rapping itself took some talent, but imitating a white Torontonian singing in semi-Patois would be east for Carrey.
Can't !! Now that we have social media and everyone seems to be so sensitive these days, I'm surprised he hasn't had to apologize for even making a fake rasta voice
I knowwwwww. The only reason they said they ended it was cause the network was giving them a hard time about that one sketch with the 2 gay men cause it was to much for TV back then. But now look now days how anything that pays wether it's pushing the limits or not. It's all about money. This show would have ran for a long time and don't forget Snl was on the air and for living color to make it that long ?? And had still been on the air they would have given Snl a run for there money.
the show ended because all the good people left to do solo stuff. the last season was downright awfull lol. i think they only had david alan grier left towards the end

Comedy gold. In Living Color perfectly understood how to parody - funny without being mean and nasty. Nowadays people either totally overreact to good parody especially if it's about race... or they say some mean racist BS and try to play it off by saying "haha" after.
Is that really his voice or is he just using someone else's. He must be a true artist... giving the ppl what they want... & him truly just being himself. I especially like his half ass parts moving his tongue around like some lizard mid way through wever
They got not much choice but to say they "love it". When people laughing at them you look worse if you get upset so celebs always say they like it, it makes them with the joke not against it. I would hate this, its such a poor take, such poor accusations and poorly put together.

Remember growing up in the 90s hearing from older people how great the 80s were, then I see some of this and I’m like no way the 90s were so much cooler.
he did. Watch Batman Forever (1995) its not the best batman movie but its still one of my favorites because he was solo cute as Edward nygma in the beginning of the movie!!! 😍
People call Snow a poser but he grew up in a Toronto housing project where most all of the other residents were Jamaican immigrants who organically influenced his cultural upbringing. He was surrounded by Jamaican people, music, slang, and accents growing up. And he also spent time in prison early in his career. The stuff he raps about isn't bullshit, it really happened. Snow may be a white, nerdy-looking Canadian dude but his music genuinely reflects his actual life experience. Got this comment from DrRockkso just thought it would fit here
But I thought everything he learned was from an auctioneer. OH! You're talking about the Actual dude who made this Actual song.. I'm gunna look into that!
and, as mentioned in other comments, he was actually MOST successful (regarding the amount of singles that charted) in Jamaica. so the people that supposedly should have been annoyed the most with this "imposter" actually didn't seem to mind his (alleged) background at all.
I read the lyrics of Informer and its not really a "cop-hatin" track. More about how he refused to rat out a friend after they did smth stupid and how he went to prison instead of him. Apparently this is a true story and earned him lots of respect in the hood.
Even after all these years, is no one gonna say how amazing and funny his scream was at the end when he got surrounded lol. This Jim Carrey killed it all!
I'm of Jamaican stock and I don't know anyone that took massive issue with Snow. Jamaican music belongs to everyone and as long as you do it well and with heart, it's all good... But the Popeye bit was hilarious!!!
Well said. I thought he was great in the 90's but I knew even then he would get flak and caught up in the whole Vanilla ice thing. His album is still great and i love his newest Shame and in my shoes too.
Agreed, I can't believe there are actually people that STILL believe a type of music belongs exclusively to one race. Get over yourselves! But this is funny, from a different time:)
I like that ILC is being rediscovered. Really wish it would've been fully appreciated when it was still airing, but glad it's at least being more appreciated now

Remember growing up in the 90s hearing from older people how great the 80s were, then I see some of this and I’m like no way the 90s were so much cooler.
“I’m just a middle-class White guy from Toronto, despite how I sound.” Was he referring to Snow or Drake?
The song was referring to Drake but it was 20 years early! Hahahah
Snow
Drake wasn't even concieved yet during this time
@@Nomadonthego actual he was Drake was born like 1985. This was like 91 or 92
@Delta3416 // Metric That is why you cannot take "people" serious.
Jim Carrey would make a good riddler
+Brian Sandhu not sure if being sarcastic, but I guess you know he was the riddler in 1995 Batman Forever.
He should've been the joker.
he did. Watch Batman Forever (1995) its not the best batman movie but its still one of my favorites because he was solo cute as Edward nygma in the beginning of the movie!!! 😍
+Brian Sandhu He did indeed play that role
+Derpie Shwirlz it's sad how you didn't catch on
People call Snow a poser but he grew up in a Toronto housing project where most all of the other residents were Jamaican immigrants who organically influenced his cultural upbringing. He was surrounded by Jamaican people, music, slang, and accents growing up. And he also spent time in prison early in his career. The stuff he raps about isn't bullshit, it really happened. Snow may be a white, nerdy-looking Canadian dude but his music genuinely reflects his actual life experience.
Got this comment from DrRockkso
just thought it would fit here
But I thought everything he learned was from an auctioneer. OH! You're talking about the Actual dude who made this Actual song.. I'm gunna look into that!
Also IM DOCTOR ROCKKSO THE ROCK AND ROLL CLOWN, I LOVE COCAINE!!!!
@@justicegraceful2171 very good
and, as mentioned in other comments, he was actually MOST successful (regarding the amount of singles that charted) in Jamaica.
so the people that supposedly should have been annoyed the most with this "imposter" actually didn't seem to mind his (alleged) background at all.
I read the lyrics of Informer and its not really a "cop-hatin" track. More about how he refused to rat out a friend after they did smth stupid and how he went to prison instead of him. Apparently this is a true story and earned him lots of respect in the hood.
Has no business being this 🔥
“You can criticize me all the way to the bank , my single’s number 1 & Shabba don’t rank” ... That was FIRE !!! 😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥🤯🤯🤯
BARS!!! 😆
Vanilla Christ Christ Baby 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jk
The parody ILC did for Lover Man is an all time fav. Some of Marlon's best.
😂😂😂😂😂
Even after all these years, is no one gonna say how amazing and funny his scream was at the end when he got surrounded lol. This Jim Carrey killed it all!
You just said it though.
Jim Carry is an absolute legend!!! He is gonna be one of the people that goes down in history unforgotten about, I love this dude!
Switchbeck who?
sure, he'll be remembered as an antivax promoter
@@CarolinaSantacruzO I can guarantee you no one cares about a damn vaccine....dude is a legend for his work not because of covid
@@CarolinaSantacruzO jim is not antivax, he's anti mercury laden thimerosal in vaccines. which is a valid point tbh.
Jim Cash and Carry.
Are we gonna ignore how dope jim carrey sounds
This is perfection. Jim Carey is a legend. I love his scream at the end. 😂
🤣😂
same. same.🤣🤣🤣
He's scream is brilliant
This is the best example of Jim Carey’s genius.
0:38 Jim really made a major point
In Living Color really changed Jim Carry lifestyle around, and he blew up big time! He really is Imposter 😂😂😂
Am I the only one who would have loved to see the filming process of this?
Yes
Nope I really want to see that
Me too. I like all kinds of behind the scenes stuff.
I love jim carey, he is not normal and that's what i love about him, he makes everyone happy and makes them laugh😂😂
How is 30 years I've never seen this parody before? Lol
Thanks Jim. You're always making this life brighter. 🙏
I also just found this for my first time today somehow
"Paint my face and start bailing out mammy"
Pusha T: NOTES, GENTLEMEN. NOTES.
That scream he let out though 😭😭😭😭😂
Had me in damn tears😂😂
Reminded me of Homer Simpson lol
He knew they were going to milk him 🤣🤣
😆 best
🤣😂🤣😂
There are millions of people in Canada, but I still feel warm and fuzzy knowing Jim Carey is from my country.
As is Snow....
“But when a Caucasian man records a cop hatin song , they don’t see a problem, must be an oversight”
BANG....BANG
Clever
I think there's a fine line between Snow's "Informer" and a song literally called "Cop Killer"
Bob Marley wrote "I shot the sheriff" and had no problems, becuase he did not shoot the deputy and it was in self-defense.
John Cougar Mellencamp is white yet when he fought authority, authority always won.
The amount of reggae and dancehall legends mentioned warms my soul
What a time of comedic genius this was... Greatest comedy skits ever!
That scream when he’s surrounded 😂
I still like singing “i am what I am and that’s all that I am!” And nobody ever gets it 🤣
The way someone pointed out his scream at the end when he turns and looks at the 4 fine gentlemen walking up to him 😭 it kills me every time
Can't stop watching this I love Jim Carey there will be never anyone like him ever
Not talked about but Tommy Davidson did a good impression of MC Shan in this video.
Sh_t, Tommy sounded legit as hell.. I started moving my head.. lol!
The scream at the end gets me every time😂
1:36 Burrrger croooownnnn😂
A hot apple pie wit dat
The auctioneer bit slayed me. This is awesome.
Thank us Canadians for giving you all of the best comedians on the planet...
holy crap I never knew Jim Carrey was from canada... then again the question of where he's from never exactly came to mind either.
@@ICaligvla Newmarket.. basically Toronto area! If you look up a list of Canadian actors it's a long honorable list
I'm coming to Canada from Bangladesh next year. Y'all better be funny.
Jim Carey is from Newmarket Toronto????? Isn't Snow also from Newmarket Toronto?
@@M0butu Snow was born and raised in North York, a part of Toronto. Newmarket is not a part of Toronto.
The giant question mark is quite the Riddler foreshadowing
Lol facxx
The scream at the end 😂😂
"Cool runnings.....AHHHHHH!!!!!"
I havent laughed this hard in ages. So grateful to discover this!
“But everything I know I learned from an auctioneer” 😂
how good is your dad's popeye impression?
Who will give me 10? Takes me out. Every. Time.😂😂😂
I'm of Jamaican stock and I don't know anyone that took massive issue with Snow.
Jamaican music belongs to everyone and as long as you do it well and with heart, it's all good...
But the Popeye bit was hilarious!!!
Well said. I thought he was great in the 90's but I knew even then he would get flak and caught up in the whole Vanilla ice thing. His album is still great and i love his newest Shame and in my shoes too.
I almost died.
Agreed, I can't believe there are actually people that STILL believe a type of music belongs exclusively to one race. Get over yourselves! But this is funny, from a different time:)
Agree. He had skill, where Ice had pretty basic rhymes, and Ice was a pop rapper.
That sound belongs to the Jamaican people....it's representative of their culture.
This has to be the coolest thing I’ve seen all week. Never knew Jim Carry came out with this hot track
The Popeye impression kills me. You gotta love Jim Carrey.
Completely shredded one of my favorite songs of all times…
"Hey man, you wouldn't hit a man with glasses would you man"
😂😂😂
I'm warning you man, I shot the sheriff!
I like that ILC is being rediscovered. Really wish it would've been fully appreciated when it was still airing, but glad it's at least being more appreciated now
Tru
wut is ilc
@@tombobb-h2k in living color. It was a comedy show that launched Jim Carrey
