Absolutely. But that's because they were REALLY not PC. Truly equal opportunity offenders. Too many current racists and sexists pretend to be "non-PC" when all they do is look to excuse being one-sided in their "humor." That's not what made In Living Color great.
6:09 - "My people are telling me you've written a book". "Well, I didn't WRITE a book; I WAS booked!" One of the most memorable exchanges ever from In Living Color.😆😆🤣
Just his posture alone kills me every time I see this clip. 😂 Such an accurate impression. Even his facial expressions and body language really sells it.
Facts that real talk!, this time and era will never be duplicated and emulated in Television! Amazing script writing and authentic acting at it's finest.
Most people remember Damon Wayans as the star but Keenan was the genius creator and the heart of this show! He was also the funniest to me, best impressions.
Keenen is to the Wayans family as RZA is to the Wu-Tang Clan. A singularly-focused executive figure whose modest, though noteworthy, INDIVIDUAL creative success was exponentially dwarfed by the magnitude of his generationally-minded, commercial acumen for uniting and facilitating COLLECTIVE creative success. One that has sustained itself 40+ years since Keenan went to work for Robert Townsend.
The reason I really liked and appreciated the cast of in living color in the 90s was. They made fun of everybody, even their own color of people. They even said that if you can’t laugh at yourself, then you have no right to laugh at anybody else. I love them for that we are all the same. We are people.
...or were you just hatin' on Milli Vanilli? It hurts my Soul to see people looking to judge and separate from others, rather than looking for a reason to to tolerate, even love...To see how we are "brothers under the skin," to see what we have in common... LOVE IS ALL THERE IS! ONE RACE! ONE BLOOD! GOD BLESS US ALL💕🙏🏽🕊️
Not true. What Milli Vanilli did was lip sync to voices that WEREN'T theirs. Today, EVERY singer, at some point or another, lips their performances, but TO THEIR OWN VOICES, which is not the same thing.
Love love love that milli vanilli sketch at the beginning of this part. I remember the real group as a little girl and they did talk like that just less exaggerated but this is freaking funny as hell, they made them sound like jerks...lol 🤣🤣🤣
I got to meet Mr. Marion Barry at a Staples store by the Baltimore Ravens stadium.I guess this was around the year 2000.He was real cool and even chatted with me for a few.I remember he was driving a black Jaguar as he drove off on I95 south.My family members from DC,always said he was a good dude and mayor.
The irreverence of "In Living Color" could not fly today with today's sensibilities and fear of offending certain celebrities. Although I'm a Beyonce fan, I would love to see a skit that's totally unafraid to poke fun at her, "In Living Color"-style. Debra Wilson did it on Mad TV some years ago, but that was before Beyonce became so untouchable. One can dream. 😂😂😂
I don't know why they feel so entitled to respect. That's earned, I guess twerking and recycling music now earns respect. SNL still takes shots at her. They are actually funny. 😝😂 Debra Wilson is one of the best imo. 💞👑
Screaming rewatching this. I loved mayor Barry, man. He succumbed to crack era like the rest. He allowed a beautiful woman to shove it in his face and from there after it was on. He did remarkable things for the DC as mayor. #PRIDE wasn’t always for lgbt just like Rainbow. They were both pro Black excellence terms and use.
I remember Arsenio being SHOOK when they parodied him. He was one of those people that thought they took things too far. Of course, he was starting to get WOKE at the time.
@@sxm76 Maybe Eddie was cool with it, but Arsenio wasn't. He gave many interviews at that time where he was talking about how IN LIVING COLOR was taking things too far, particularly with the parodies on women and gays. It was around this time where he was getting more (for lack of a better word) WOKE, with all the ultra-sensitivity that comes with it.
@@phillipwattsjr.4714 the reason Keenan and Damon left the show was because the network was pressuring them to tone it down, and they didn't want to be "politically correct".
In living color were the first trolls..... Long before the internet
Living color is the best comedy show ever. They took no prisoners, all were there to be made fun of
robertk2007 if this show was our right now.... they wouldn’t talk about LBGTQ.
Not in 2020
Absolutely. But that's because they were REALLY not PC. Truly equal opportunity offenders. Too many current racists and sexists pretend to be "non-PC" when all they do is look to excuse being one-sided in their "humor." That's not what made In Living Color great.
If “take no prisoners” were a person, or a groups of persons, the cast of ILC was it, jack!
@@jrsmith1998 yea they would. They didn't give a fuck back then and wouldn't pacify these woke pussies today
@@innertubez What are you talking about? lol

Man, those older Wayans brothers were everything! Lol
Man, they were trolling Arsenio hard af here 😂😂😂.
Yep!
Fun fact: The real Arsenio was livid when he saw this, according to Tommy Davidson.
Just his posture alone kills me every time I see this clip. 😂 Such an accurate impression. Even his facial expressions and body language really sells it.
Doing the Cabbage Patch in a circle at the end 😂
The talent on this show was unbelievable.
If you didn't grow up with this your childhood sucked 😂😂😂😂
Facts that real talk!, this time and era will never be duplicated and emulated in Television! Amazing script writing and authentic acting at it's finest.
Definitely 👍👍
Growing up in the 80s and 90s, I agree!
Big facts!!! I’m glad my mom had me in 1982!!! Lol
I grow up on this they don't making it funny like this

that finger extention is hilarious lol
The fake butt too 😂
I didn't write a book I was booked 😂😂😂
"Uhhhh, well this friday I'll be appearing in front of the grand jury "
David Alan Grier is so funny! Love that guy!
Everyone on this show was so funny but, David Alan Grier, and Damon Wayans are the best
Absolutely. 😂😂
They did Mayor Berry dirty 😂😂😂😂 thank god for the Wayans
Pretty sure Barry did himself and his constituents far more dirty.
Uh, I didn't write a book, I was booked.
That ''Don't forget our number part got me''. LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
“I didn’t write a book, I was booked” 😂😂😂😂
"Wrongly 'cused" 😂
when the real Milli Vanilli saw this episode they knew it was over for them
Yup...they got every piece of the puzzle but ONE! That's what scared them the most.
David Alan Grier is hilarious🤣🤣

Back in the early 90's, the Mili Vanili scam was a big deal, now "singers" do it all the time and people say how great they are!!
Even worse, if you don't talk about how great they are, they'll label you a HATER or TOXIC.
LMAO
What SCAM was that? I was out of the country..
...or were you just hatin' on Milli Vanilli?
It hurts my Soul to see people looking to judge and separate from others, rather than looking for a reason to to tolerate, even love...To see how we are "brothers under the skin," to see what we have in common...

@@lm7550LOL. 😆😆😆
I remember this episode,had us hollering back in the day lmaooooo
Damon is the funniest Wayans, I dare anybody to say Marlon 🤣
Damon then Marlon.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣My favorite character from the show.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 He NAILED Arsenio.
Milli Vanilli - "You are from Germany, I am from France..." "Lets not forget our terrible accents..."
What he said was, "You are Germany, and I am from French".
They were spot on with the Milli Vanilli thing . . WAAY before it was finally exposed. They knew how Hollywood worked.
"Is Jesse in town? Call Al Sharpton, man!"
Marion Barry and Arsenio Hall - LMAO!!!!!
Everyone is so sensitive in this days time. In living color would be canceled.
Yep
Damn right! This is a pussified generation now smh
True
There's NetFlix. They have no P.C. standards. It's just entertainment
Love love love that milli vanilli sketch at the beginning of this part. I remember the real group as a little girl and they did talk like that just less exaggerated but this is freaking funny as hell, they made them sound like jerks...lol 🤣🤣🤣
Yup. Same.
Keenan did Arsenio Spot On 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh Lawd that Milli Vanilli sketch 😂
That guy really does look like the pope.
6:40 "Oh!... Uh, Eddie's here? " ROTFL
💀💀💀💀
That proctologist finger bit should be enshrined alongside those implants! LMAO
The milly vanilly scetch crack me up back then
Marion Berry..Sup with the bald spot looking like Lake Tahoe???
Yet,way too hilarious in my book.
"No wrong doing on my part?!? 😡Hey You Wake-up"🤣🤣🤣Funny as Fuck......🤙🏿
We need a show like this right now! With David Alan Grier.
Those were better times everybody got made fun of and everybody had a good time
I got to meet Mr. Marion Barry at a Staples store by the Baltimore Ravens stadium.I guess this was around the year 2000.He was real cool and even chatted with me for a few.I remember he was driving a black Jaguar as he drove off on I95 south.My family members from DC,always said he was a good dude and mayor.
Noble'One people think because he battled substance abuse for a little while, that he is a villain. Fuck outta here
And cool to ski up with
four terms as mayor, yeah i would say he was well liked
I know, as soon as I heard that Marion Barry got arrested again I automatically thought about this episode
'to all white people out there....eddie murphy is only the biggest movie star in the world!!!!'
LMAO!
Man i miss this show. Glad i grew up watching this.
Still funny after all these years! Yet I wanna believe that Keenan somehow had somehow foretold the big booty phenomena
Arsenio finger always crack me up
That finger LOL
Can we talk about my reelection campaign already? Oh, Eddie's here?! 😂🤣
I didn’t write a book….I WAS booked!!!
Keenan's fingers are enormous....wtf
It’s a prop.
Imitation of Arsenio Large Index finger
He's making fun of Arsenio and how he would always point his finger.
" And neither do we"...🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gimme some of that boogaloos funk...
Booga nose funk.
That index finger lol.
Love the cocaine/ nostril effects. LOL
That Milli Vanilli kit is no joke
Eddie Murphy’s best friend and don’t you forget it!😅 😂

I wonder what Arsenio Hall reaction was to this perfect mockery of him.
are you kidding me ? lol this was the best show !!!
Look at that hair piece they got for mayor Marion..LOl

David Looks Like That Bol From The Cosby Show
aaaahh, their comedy must've huyt a lot of feelings
