"Homey da clown... Don't mess around... Even when the Man... Try to keep him down. I SAID TO SING THE DAMN WORDS!!!" Classic. Thank God, I have all the In Living Color Seasons on DVD. 😊
I met Paul randomly in Harlem when he was walking the street I called out to him and he gave me a hug he was a real sweetheart and I'd say one of the greatest comedians of all time I can watch his stand up today and laugh so hard my stomach hurts he's a legend
I always knew but I also grew up in the hood so yeah. LOL This was for us but introduced people more to the hood bringing it more mainstream to go with the hip hop.
Yea when you black in the hood you will see the political angle actually when I was a small small child all the kids will talk about and living color everyday the first thing we do when we got to school was say did you see a living color and we were small small kids but we all understood who we are and what the show meant
You know Fox doesn't like Political Truths hitting them in the face. Everything has to go by the book, especially a film with a character made by and for us, shedding light on them.
This made my day as a kid! Watching homie break down his morals and standards code! As a kid I knew the language he was talking because growing up around the end of the black panther and the beginning of the crack era you heard alot adult speak like homie around my way. That's before things got watered down.
@@icebergslim3743 that could NEVER happen with today's PC society. Too many cry babies. They couldn't even tell a knock knock joke without people saying they're "insensitive" to victims of breaking and entering 🙄🤦🏾♀️. The PILOT would be canceled 🤣.
There was nothing stupid at all about in living color! ⬆He and whoever wrote his commentary gets donkey of the day for that one!🙄....Aye-Yo Charalmagne you missing one!🤡...
Dom Smith has grown so much and definitely delivers the best. His material is well thought out, concise, and he delivers it clearly. Everyone else needs to take their time and deliver like this at CH! Good job!
Some would say that back then it was a tie between Homey the Clown or Handi Man that was Damon's funniest sketch 🤣🤣🤣 Whenever I see In Living Color follow up shows they never mention Handi Man but it's one of those You Had to Be There or See it for yourself moments in sketch comedy history 💪🏾💯👑🏆👍🏾
The cultures not the same anymore. New jack swing music, the dances, the fashion, the clothes and the movies. I am happy that I grew up during those times and had to experience that era. Todays culture wouldn’t appreciate it.
I grew up socially conscious so even at age 10 I knew what homie was on lol Loved his character. I used to knock my white friends upside the head with socks. They'd just laugh and say "he's just acting like Homey" That's right guys.... that's right 😆 I miss the 90s. Everyone is too sensitive now lol
While we're on the subject of Paul Mooney, Does anyone remember in 2005 I believe, he was on the BET comedy awards and he gave awards to everyone who thought they WEREN'T a nigga... Oprah Winfrey and Diana Ross was amongst the recipients! Anyone know where I can find that clip? Its been wiped CLEAN from the internet! I was told Steve Harvey had to apologize to the audience and Tracy Elis Ross (who was in the audience upset) because of what Paul said 😂😂😂😂
If I'm not mistaken, that's why Earthquake held a grudge against Paul Mooney. He was Tracy Elis Ross' date that night, and Paul ruined his chances of having a pleasurable night with her afterwards because she was so upset by the jokes.
You can’t talk comedy skit shows and not mention in living color as one of the best if not the best…I used to do homie da clown, the homeless guy, fire Marshall bill impressions spot on…classic show I still fx wit til this day
Paul Mooney Was The TRUTH!!! He Was Most Definitely The INSPIRATION For Homey D. Clown. RIP KING 👑🎤✊🏿👊🏿🙏🏾🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 #PaulMooneyGodFatherOfBlackComedy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Early when I came to LA I got hired to shoot an interview w Paul Mooney for a doc about Lenny Bruce. He was very friendly and I got a lot of insight into the mind of comics.
I would definitely watch a _Homey D. Clown_ movie in 2022 or beyond. There’s another 30+ years of material to work with (but sadly, no Mr. Mooney for inspiration 😔)
I watched In Living Color when I was in grade school. For a week there was a rumor that a guy dressed as Homie the Clown was kidnapping kids. I dunno if the adults were alarmed or even aware of this. But I remember us kids being terrified.
Yup I remember that rumor I was 14 at the time and I used to scare the heck outta my lil cousins telling them they better be in before the street lights come on because homey the clown gonna getcha lol! In Chicago
@@dickhardpicard I know Damon was the actor but I look at Keenan as the producer/lead. I wish I could go back and watch it again to get the time stamp but I’m heading out of town. This really blows your mind…WOW. People on the internet 😊.
Very interesting and informative. When I watch reruns of In Living Color and more specifically Homie the Clown I will listen in a new way. Also wow to grow up thinking the world as a whole is against you? I can see that having different affects on people. From lightning a fire under their butt to succeed (like the Wayans or sorta like Michael Jordan) to blaming others for their shortcomings and everything in between. Crazy how the world works or seems to work differently for everyone depending on who you are.
"Homey da clown... Don't mess around... Even when the Man... Try to keep him down. I SAID TO SING THE DAMN WORDS!!!" Classic. Thank God, I have all the In Living Color Seasons on DVD. 😊
@William Jones yeah but how many old unedited vhs tapes or old videogames that you didn't know about
I love that Keenen called out those groups just wanting a bribe. Also so brilliant as angry Mooney was significantly funnier.
I agree. I’m glad he made them feel stupid
If nothing else Paul Mooney was the muse for Homey the Clown. He was the living embodiment of the character.
That’s what he just said.
@@d.jswaheely40 😂my thoughts exactly
@@Dburrna21 , 😂😂😂
I use to listen to Paul Mooney all the time. It helped me develop a better understanding of comedy. It also made me more funny
Calm down
I met Paul randomly in Harlem when he was walking the street I called out to him and he gave me a hug he was a real sweetheart and I'd say one of the greatest comedians of all time I can watch his stand up today and laugh so hard my stomach hurts he's a legend
So DOPE
Love HIM! Mooney is forever❤️🕊️🖤
You should make videos
Loved Paul Mooney. He kept it 100% at all times. People can't handle the truth.
I agree!💯
Especially Richard Pryor's son😬
@@Dburrna21 Pryor's son is a lying opportunist.
@@Dburrna21 oop 🫢
More like he kept it 99% 😉
Homey definitely spoke the truth
Paul Mooney gave me some great words of encouragement, cool dude. 4 days later he died.
R.I.P. Paul Mooney
@Aristides Gonzalez Believe what you want to believe. I know what he said to me. That's all you need to know.
As a kid watching Homey The Clown, I had no idea there was a political angle. I just remember it being funny.
I always knew but I also grew up in the hood so yeah. LOL This was for us but introduced people more to the hood bringing it more mainstream to go with the hip hop.
Yea when you black in the hood you will see the political angle actually when I was a small small child all the kids will talk about and living color everyday the first thing we do when we got to school was say did you see a living color and we were small small kids but we all understood who we are and what the show meant
The genius of it
Same here. I really wish our parents explained things like that to us
I wish they did do Homey D .Clown movie, it would have been hilarious!😀
You know Fox doesn't like Political Truths hitting them in the face. Everything has to go by the book, especially a film with a character made by and for us, shedding light on them.
I kinda wish they went trough with the homey movie definitely would’ve been a classic
This made my day as a kid! Watching homie break down his morals and standards code!

Never doubt the INTELLIGENCE of a comedian.
This made me miss Paul Mooney. He followed me on twitter. That was the "Homie". R.I.P LEGEND
I wish Jordan Peel could get with Keenan and Damien to do a horror movie about this. A behind the scenes look at how comedians are treated....sheesh.
Keep that nigga Jordan Peel away.
Actually 🤔……..mam!!! You on to something. I would absolutely watch that.
Or jus do a updated version of in living color
@@icebergslim3743 that could NEVER happen with today's PC society. Too many cry babies. They couldn't even tell a knock knock joke without people saying they're "insensitive" to victims of breaking and entering 🙄🤦🏾♀️. The PILOT would be canceled 🤣.
That would be dope! A psychological thriller about a comedian. He could be on stage tripping and ish all paranoid lol
Never knew Mooney was the inspiration for Homey. That makes the character even more classic now.
It’s not to late to make that Homey The Clown movie and in this day and age it’s what we need there is so much material to use.
Homey d clown will always be missed. Now the story behind him is hilarious. Keenan is a genius and the pale face folks were mad about it
I miss Paul! He was one of my favorite comedians that passed 💪🏾🙌🏾 all the good ones gone
He made so many white people uncomfortable
@@brandonray4379 as well as black children
@@KwanzaaBot1966 What?
@@brandonray4379 look up what he did to Richard Pryors kid.
Homey D. Clown was BRILLIANT. Sheesh... They found loopholes to say what they needed to say
There was nothing stupid at all about in living color! ⬆He and whoever wrote his commentary gets donkey of the day for that one!🙄....Aye-Yo Charalmagne you missing one!🤡...
I remember that SNL sketch, He was on Star Search going against Jon Lovitz. He scared the judges into giving him a perfect score.
I thought this was widely known. With Keenan being a comedic genius, realist, and all. Keenan & Paul together-supernatural brilliance.
Homey is an ICONIC character. You can't say that for certain shows/characters today. RIP Paul Mooney. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Realistically Damon Wayans can still do that Homey the Clown movie. He still looks young. Black don't crack.
Folks too sensitive in this climate they would want to water down Homey and make him too silly to make "other folks" feel comfortable.
A Homie D Clown movie wouldve been ICONIC
It's not too late .....lol
Excellent video...this is why this channel is needed...to highlight the pillars and icons of black comedy...
Paul Was legend I have in my top 5
I know it's old but that shit is still funny. Hommie the clown still crack me up.
Like all things…if it’s great…it transcends eras
They should still do it! I would definitely watch it!
Dom Smith has grown so much and definitely delivers the best. His material is well thought out, concise, and he delivers it clearly. Everyone else needs to take their time and deliver like this at CH! Good job!
Homey’s sketches were like sermons. The truth shall set you free!
Some would say that back then it was a tie between Homey the Clown or Handi Man that was Damon's funniest sketch 🤣🤣🤣
Whenever I see In Living Color follow up shows they never mention Handi Man but it's one of those You Had to Be There or See it for yourself moments in sketch comedy history 💪🏾💯👑🏆👍🏾
That Handiman ♿was past HILARIOUS
“Never under estimate the power of the Handicap” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Do you know how many people would be triggered nowadays? It would’ve been amazing!
Damon is the funniest wayans and the best on the show.
Now this is great reporting! - 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Needed
Wayans and mooney were power houses
I would go see the movie HOMEY DON'T PLAY THAT!
I wish In Living Colors would come back.
The cultures not the same anymore. New jack swing music, the dances, the fashion, the clothes and the movies. I am happy that I grew up during those times and had to experience that era. Todays culture wouldn’t appreciate it.
Wow!! Brilliant keeping Mooney angry 😂. Great background
Homey was so hilarious! And quite impressive. 😭😭
I would still pay to see a movie about Homey D. Clown 🤡 🤣🤣🤣
I was watching old clips of Homey D. Clown earlier!! 😂😂🤣🤣
This was my then 62-year-old mother’s favorite character and phrase.
2:28 - *1977, not 1997, was the year Richard Pryor’s short-lived sketch show was on the air.
I never heard Paul Mooney had anything to do with it. I actually had a homie da clown doll 😂 where tf did they sell that at
I'd love to have one
I remember back the day they was talking bout doing a homey the clown movie 😂 it was brief talks about it I forget which year.
I grew up socially conscious so even at age 10 I knew what homie was on lol Loved his character. I used to knock my white friends upside the head with socks. They'd just laugh and say "he's just acting like Homey"
That's right guys.... that's right 😆 I miss the 90s. Everyone is too sensitive now lol
I suppose i was simply too young to know any of this back then. I never even got introduced to Paul Mooney until i was an adult.
Paul was one of the Greats

He called out Bill Cosby, Condilisa Rice, and Cuba Gooding Jr too It was call the Coon Awards Halarious!
If I'm not mistaken, that's why Earthquake held a grudge against Paul Mooney. He was Tracy Elis Ross' date that night, and Paul ruined his chances of having a pleasurable night with her afterwards because she was so upset by the jokes.
I remember this. I don't know where to find it.
@@rahdream Yessss!!! The coon awards!! 😂😂😂
Earthquake clapped back at Paul and Paul was embarrassed af..
The wayans are the Jackson's of the comedy/acting world
*”HOMEY DON’T PLAY THAT”*
THE CHARACTER HOMEY DA CLOWN IS A LEGEND. ✌🏽🌑✊🏽✔♾🐐
You can’t talk comedy skit shows and not mention in living color as one of the best if not the best…I used to do homie da clown, the homeless guy, fire Marshall bill impressions spot on…classic show I still fx wit til this day
I’m already Laughing at them not taking Pual Mooneys order Cause I know he was Vex
Awesome perspective to learn the background of the characteristics of Homey.
We need that Homey movie now!
I loved this nugget of knowledge
Still waiting for this show to be online to watch
It's good to see, the man, behind the video voice
Damn is this why I was so angry as a kid? I took a lot of the shit he said to heart.
Love Love Homey The Clown, now
understand the evolution
I loved Homey D. Clown....wish I could put a stone in a sock to bash some people!!🤣😂😂 "Homey don't play that!!"
I love what y'all are doing with the channel! This is so good!
Paul Mooney Was The TRUTH!!! He Was Most Definitely The INSPIRATION For Homey D. Clown. RIP KING 👑🎤✊🏿👊🏿🙏🏾🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 #PaulMooneyGodFatherOfBlackComedy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rest in peace Paul Mooney legend
Now this is interesting af..makes me appreciate this character even more ❤🙏🏽
Homey D. Clown would've been a good ass movie tho...😢
Paul is a one of the roast kings.
Early when I came to LA I got hired to shoot an interview w Paul Mooney for a doc about Lenny Bruce. He was very friendly and I got a lot of insight into the mind of comics.
I'm getting flashbacks to the best of the black comedy years
Paul Mooney personifies how entertainers are 💵 Paid💵 to be 🎭 and are confused and conflicted in real life. 🙄
The quote at 4:36 is wild 🤣
I always wonder why they never did a Homie the Clown movie
This was really dope. Salute 🫡
In Living Colour was the greatest black satirical show on at the time and birthed so many great comics or celebrities to this day.
r.i.p mr. mooney
This is genius 👏🏾 😂
I loved Homey!
Very good content on uncle paul.
Thank you.
My cousins and I use to play around the house with socks balled up in one big sock acting like hitting each other😂 God I miss those days.
I would definitely watch a _Homey D. Clown_ movie in 2022 or beyond. There’s another 30+ years of material to work with (but sadly, no Mr. Mooney for inspiration 😔)
In Living Color was ahead of its time
If nothing else Paul Mooney was the muse for Homey the Clown. He was the living embodiment of the character
Knowing Mooneys comedy like we do now after Chappelle…I totally see this
I miss In living Color. Keenen is a genius.
They laid the ground work for the Chappelle show
Oh snap, dom smith. I was thinking the other day "I haven't seen the Dom Smith guy in a while"
He was talking about Our Other Father who We LOVE, Dick Gregory.
I love homie the clown. Homie was telling the truth.
Homey the Clown don't mess around. Even though the man try to keep him down! I don't think so. Homey don't play dat!

I’ll never forget how I got cursed out by Paul mooney as a kid 😂😂
This was very informative…I wonder why Keenan can’t do Homey the clown now?
Because it was Damon who was the actor 🤦😑
@@dickhardpicard I know Damon was the actor but I look at Keenan as the producer/lead. I wish I could go back and watch it again to get the time stamp but I’m heading out of town. This really blows your mind…WOW. People on the internet 😊.

He used to be a Ring Master
Brilliant!
Brilliant character
