TOP 10 IN LIVING COLOR MUSIC VIDEO PARODIES TOP 5 CHAPPELLE’S SHOW CHARACTERS So who’s your favourite In Living Color character? And you can check out more great content below: Homey really deserves to get his own R-rated feature length film a la Bad Santa. And if you ask him to act like a clown? He will verbally put you down and/or whack you with his sock thing and then tell you “Homey don’t play that”, a phrase I still use three decades later. This cantankerous, misanthropic, insulting, moderately violent clown is not here to brighten up anybody’s day but just to work off his community service. #2 Fire Marshall Billįire Marshall Bill may have all the lethal antics and prosthetics but he has to take second place to the no frills comedy of Homey D Clown (yes, Damon again). The characters’ “hated it” catchphrase when describing a movie they disliked (usually because there was not enough “manly mens” in it) has even survived into modern meme culture. And the double entendre-laced dialogue and sketch-specific snapping are so ridiculous you have to laugh. While the characters are quite stereotypical there is a liveliness and sincerity that still holds up today. But then you have the duo of the “Men On” series (Damon and Grier this time), two extremely flambouyant gay men discussing films and various other things. For example, there is a recurring character of a disabled superhero called Handi-Man which is extremely difficult to watch today. In Living Color aired during a time when people were not overly concerned with political correctness. #3 Blaine Edwards and Anton Mayweather (Men on Film, Sports, etc) This flexing, husky voiced, steroid-addicted, horse-neighing woman was just utterly absurd and a guaranteed laugh every time she appeared. #8 Grandpa Jack McGee (The Dysfunctional Home Show)Ĭarrey disappeared into many a character during his five years on the show, and one of his better ones was fitness enthusiast Vera De Milo. Their inventive ways to cheat, scam and defraud people are always entertaining, at least until the authorities come banging on their “studio” door. We have another pairing of Damon and Keenen, this time as two hustlers in a parody of the Home Shopping Network. Played by Damon and Keenen, this interviewing/country singing duo believe every stereotype about black people and hate to hear them complain about their “problems”, leading to numerous misunderstandings and allowing for some biting racial satire. Give me a high five!īrothers Tom Brothers and Tom Brothers (that is not a typo) are the whitest black people you will ever meet. #10 Tom and Tom (Brothers Brothers) They’re brothers, they’re happy and they’re singing and they’re coloured. The character could have been very one note but Foxx’s sassy line delivery adds an extra dimension to the comedy. Jamie Foxx became a feature player in the cast from the second season and his most memorable character was the extremely over confident, outspoken and facially challenged Wanda.
