@@wowomg1980depends on what age they were when they ORIGINALLY laughed at it. They could've been 30 for all you know 😂 I mean doubt a damn toddler was laughing at it. I remember laughing at it and I'm hell of a lot older than 44....
A couple days ago, something sparked my memory and I recalled the two lines: "I'm still a virgin and I'm 33, even Madonna won't have sex with me." Couldn't remember where I'd heard it. So I typed those words into Google, not sure it would come up with anything at all -- and voila! This video popped up. OF COURSE! It all came back to me -- after 30 years. Another demonstration of In Living Color's lasting legacy.
For the longest time, I had the hilarious memory of "Michael Jackson punching a car window and making his pained signature sound". Only now do I remember where it came from. Thank you.
So much of In Living Color was never seen by us because no Tivo and we needed to set VCRs to record them at the time. Meaning if we had cable TV in the first place, none of our parents or elders were not sitting down to watch something else back then.
It's only when you see somebody trying to copy Michael's dancing that you realize just how amazingly good Michael's dancing really was and how hard he must have worked for each movement until it was perfect
How? This was a show written by black people with a mostly black cast. And the joke is still pretty relevant today. Who would get offended? Black people? Or cops? I don’t understand your logic.
When I was working nights, I set my VCR to record In Living Color, so I had something to laugh at when I got home. So I had this on tape for years!😂 It remains one of the funniest things ever done! _"I wrote a love song to a rat named Ben."_ I lose it every time I hear that line! 😂😂😂😂 (As a 70s kid, I remember the song, and both the movies about Ben!) But seriously... _He was arrested for smashing the windows of the car!!!_
Same, that part where he hurt his hand on the glass still cracks me up. So glad to have grown up when this and other great FOX shows aired and glad I still have my sense of humor.
Most remakes/reboots absolutely suck and are lazy cash-grabs. Do you really want them to bring this back just to be a bastardized version of a classic? Also, the landscape of comedy has changed and you just can’t get away with being as edgy as this show needs to be to have what people loved about it.
Oh my gosh! Same here! I remember this being part of the special “Michael Jackson episode” of ILC. I even remember the commercials on Fox leading up to this episode. So hilarious!
Simply EPIC! Back when real entertainment was actually FUN! I remember that "MJ" laughed about this and said it was really funny and a very good impersonation of him, which everyone agreed. Anyway, you can't have honesty and a free world without the "just and free gesture" of artistic expression that is meant to be funny, scary, and/or provocative in an exaggerated manner, which is best known as: "The Entertainment of Creative Imagination!" Some call it poetry. Others call it art. Yet no matter what one calls it, it's simply one's natural-born-humanity-with the "FREEDOM" to be creative. Hopefully we do not forget the whole reason we are gifted and are supposed be "intelligent enough" to use our gifts "freely" and the rest understand that it is simply an "artistic act" and not a political, racial, or religious statement... It's just poetic art and entertainment for "most intelligent souls that would rather be HAPPY TO LOVE THE WORLD FREELY-than be angry and oppressed by pointing fingures at others and living in constant hate." What real joy or true reward could ever come from any of that in the end but lost souls in confusion, separation, and a saddened loneliness? I say, "LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST WHILE WE CAN!" And, "ROCK ON!" ❤🤠✌
I remember this. Tommy Davidson was a whole fool this one 🤣 🤣. I laughed just as hard now as i did then 🤣 🤣. STAY SAFE EVERYONE. GOD BLESS US ALL 🙏🏾 🙏🏾.
Yeah well once Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Chris Kattan, Jimmy Fallon, all that whole crew left SNL was washed up. Even Keenan Thompson couldn't save it, altho he's the best cast member to follow after them. So glad he reunited with Kel.
I was in my final year of elementary school when this skit came out. My friends & I all watched "In living color" so I knew come Monday we would all be talking about it at school. 😄 We all equally loved when 'Michael' was pushed by the car window & then proceeded to mess up a car. 😂 Our favorite character on ILC was 'Homey the Clown'. We would take my Dad's socks, fill them with rabdom stuff, & hit each other with them. 😆 Good clean Gen-X fun. Seriously...that was the safe stuff; when not doing that we were gone for HOURS doing who the hell knows, (I mean I KNOW & if I let my kid do that now I would have CPS called on me).
I'm so lucky growing up in the 80s - 90s. I love watching In living color, Mad Tv, married with children, and all kinds of tv shows that were good and better than anything in today's present even music was better
Wow. I remember as a lad singing these lyrics knowing I got them from somewhere (because I am not clever enough to come up with something like this on my own) and never could figure out where I stole them from. In Living Color. It was big on FOX when I was about 6 or 7. Now I'm 40 and the decades long question has been answered. I'm actually in a bit of shock.
Tommy Davidson..he did some awesome impersonation. 😎👍
Killer!
That shuffle at the end 🤣🤣
I know and he was definitely skinny enough to play Michael
He really
1:11 it's him too ? Thanks
😂 "I guess I am black!" 😂😂😂

AAAWWOOOOOO!!
Yeah we have ears too, ain't that amazing :D
Why is this offensive? People of colour are disproportinetly incarcerated (and sometimes for crimes they didn't commit) to this day
I’m white and I don’t vandalize people’s cars because I’m pretty darn sure I’d get arrested if I did. What in tarnation does skin color have to do with it?
This show did not discriminate. They were ruthless to everyone! 😂
Like SNL used to be. I watched both. SNL used to take down everyone regardless of politics. Now they're nothing more than pandering unfunny fools.
Back in the good days when people had a sense of humor!
Everyone was..everywhere...u fukin scrub
You are so right! They tore into EVERYONE!! That’s what made it so f*cking funny.
Family Guy too 😂😅
This is a great combination of satire and physical comedy. I LOVED this show as a kid.
I'm in Canada and we never got this show up here...but from my cabin in the bush with my large antenna I somehow was able to get an American channel that aired this show
When I first came to America I always watched this show. It was a great show
What made you flee to America?
We peaked as a civilization in the days of In Living Color and Mad TV. All joy has been sucked out of life

I Think You Should Leave is pretty good sketch comedy, though of course, they put out far less of it then MadTV/SNL/ILC in the old days.
Agreed. 5 months later.
The "We don't know!" verse did it for me😅
😂😂
Back then we really didn't know! 😭😅🤣
Look me in my face. 😂😂😂
that was a line, not a verse. two different things
Now THAT is how you end a sketch. Something SNL always struggles with, bringing everything home.
Hence why I have never watched an SNL episode in my life.
SNL knocks it out of the park all of the time.

One of the best skits from living color. This show was so ahead of its time. First few seasons were killer laughs.
Everything was ahead of its time in the 90s.
It stagnated in the mid 2000s
I still remember the lyrics from when this first aired on Fox, lol!
That's the only way I know how to sing the song!
I'm Still A Vergin and I'm Thirty Three...
Even Madonna Won't Have Sex With Me....
About 1991 or 1992, I'm guessing.

Tommy is actually a damn good dancer!
I guess so, I didn't know that was him. I was just thinking that this guy is really good!
I was wondering who it was… even though I remember seeing it when it aired…. I tried to watch every episode
His stand up bit about the stereotype that white people can't dance always makes me cry laughing 😂
He's got the MJ moves down!

Tommy Lee Davidson and David Alan Grier, always hilarious.
Jim Carey too
Every line is a riot😂
This is SAVAGE!!! I can't stop laughing.
This parody was absolutely amazing😂😂😂😂
"Well, I guess I am black." You could not get away with that now. That was some funny shit.
That would not be acceptable in today's climate... it was perfect in that scene!!
True
Why would that not be acceptable today. White Police officers arresting black people easier than white people is made the butt of jokes all the time.
How? This was a show written by black people with a mostly black cast. And the joke is still pretty relevant today. Who would get offended? Black people? Or cops? I don’t understand your logic.
Yes you could.
*That dance he does at **0:52** kills me every time and when he gets blown away! OMG this whole parody is a total mess!!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣💯*
Look up “Bart baker parodies”. May not be your thing, but hes definitely one of the greats in terms of parodies
😂😂😂😂😂
I came here after Tommy Davidson’s appear on Club Shay Shay appearance and he talked the genius of Kenan Ivory Wayans setup of this sketch

No one is trying ti take this down. There aren't even any negative comments 😂

They tried. But the writing was so awful it looked like SNL, and flopped.
Time changes. Crazy, right? In the good old days you could use the Word "Negro" or hit your wife. Sad, that things change with time...
