Title: I may not be a white man Post by: Riggswolfe on July 30, 2007, 09:32:49 AM So, I eat lunch with 3 African American coworkers most days. (and 1 of them every single day unless he is sick or something.) According to them I'm more black than they are because of some of my habits. (for instance I despise Mayonaise, it literally makes me gag.)
So they suggested I watch Undercover Brother and I did. And I laughed my ass off more than any comedy I've seen in years. I'm sure most people on here hated it but for some reason it really killed me. ETA: I forgot to mention I must be an older black man since I don't like hip hop and rap but I do like the blues and 70's type music. My coworkers are all in their 30's - 50's (the ones I eat with.)

Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: Riggswolfe on July 30, 2007, 09:35:30 AM Other than Chris Kattan, I fucking loved Undercover Brother. It was hysterical. Normally I don't like him but he was funny. I loved when "James Brown" goaded him into screaming "I'm black and I'm proud!" Lol. Still, Dave Chapelle stole every single scene he was in. Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: Bunk on July 30, 2007, 09:37:16 AM I am not ashamed to admit that I love that movie. Oddly, I actually found Chapelle to be one of the weaker parts, but that may just be a personal dislike.
And mayo on sandwiches is gross. Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: Riggswolfe on July 30, 2007, 09:41:03 AM I think I enjoyed Chapelle because 1) he's just damn funny and 2) his character reminded me of one of my coworkers. Heh.

Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: Merusk on July 30, 2007, 09:47:58 AM Mayo sucks unless you're making tuna/ egg salad. Miracle Whip FTW.
Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: Paelos on July 30, 2007, 10:37:27 AM I loved Undercover Brother, and I especially like Neil Patrick Harris as the white affirmative action dude. Oh and I only like Reduced Fat Mayo. The regular stuff just tastes like eggs to me.
Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: Yegolev on July 30, 2007, 10:41:22 AM Undercover Brother: yes
Mayo: no Not black so much as poor. My dad even picked cotton, something I am super-glad I never did. Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: schild on July 30, 2007, 10:42:22 AM I prefer Deuce Bigelow.
Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: Paelos on July 30, 2007, 10:46:42 AM I prefer Deuce Bigelow. Rob Schneider makes me want to punch everyone in Hollywood right in the face. I had to look up how to spell that last name. Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: Yegolev on July 30, 2007, 10:53:08 AM I liked both Deuce Bigelows. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: Ookii on July 30, 2007, 12:16:33 PM You know what they say, behind every great black man...
Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: Riggswolfe on July 30, 2007, 12:22:00 PM Undercover Brother: You know what they say, behind every great black man...
Conspiracy Brother: is the police. Undercover Brother: No. Smart Brother: A bunch of slow white athletes? Undercover Brother: No! White She-Devil: A cute butt. Undercover Brother: NO! Lance: Probable cause. Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: schild on July 30, 2007, 12:22:09 PM You know what they say, behind every great black man... I can't answer this without sounding like The Amazing Racist (youtube). Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: schild on July 30, 2007, 12:22:37 PM I'm a 90 year old black man. That explains why you don't like Maximum the Hormone.Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: shiznitz on July 30, 2007, 01:59:34 PM Undercover Brother was hilarious and I would eat mayo popsicles if they existed. I am the guy that licks the mayo knife clean.
Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: Phildo on July 30, 2007, 02:22:35 PM Undercover Brother is awesome. Where's the love for Eddie Griffin?
The following is for the Rob Schneider fans out there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z2s19aFCjg&mode=related&search= Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: naum on July 30, 2007, 03:13:58 PM I loved Undercover Brother…
…I hate mayonaisse …I like some hip-hop, not most of the crap that comes out today, but the old school rappers like Grandmaster Flash, or the BlueNote compilation deal (US3)… …and I dig the blues and the old Motown stuff too… Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: CmdrSlack on July 30, 2007, 03:49:00 PM The following is for the Rob Schneider fans out there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z2s19aFCjg&mode=related&search= This is exactly what I thought of when Schild mentioned the whole Duce Bigelow thing. Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: Chimpy on July 30, 2007, 03:54:53 PM I could not watch all of Undercover Brother.
Pootie Tang, on the other hand, I could not stop laughing during. (not that they really have anything in common other than stereotype jokes) Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: Strazos on July 30, 2007, 04:23:18 PM Mayo + Good Fries = :heart:
Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: Signe on July 30, 2007, 04:26:48 PM I don't like regular mayo or salad cream and I like blues more than most hip hop. I guess I'm an elderly black man, too. Poor Righ! (http://www.terranuts.com/forums/images/smilies/bluesbros.gif)
Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: Phildo on July 30, 2007, 04:34:51 PM I could not watch all of Undercover Brother. Pootie Tang, on the other hand, I could not stop laughing during.

If I want a condiment, that's what spicy mustard is for.
Haven't seen the movie. The trailer did make me giggle. Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: Selby on July 30, 2007, 06:34:34 PM My cousin (who is black) recommended this movie to me several years ago. It was fricking hilarious. It was funny being ridiculous without being THAT kind of dumb and stupid that I hate. The stereotypes were well done and thought out on all sides without being overdone by the Wayans brothers for the last 15 years.
Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: Hayduke on July 30, 2007, 10:21:32 PM I like mayo in moderation. But in general I avoid it when ordering food with it since I don't like a lot of it. That's especially true if I go to a po-boy shop run by black women, or a Bud's Broiler (N.O. burger chain staffed exclusively by black women). They tend to grab a spatula and slather on a giant, disgusting glob.
Musical tastes are fairly white I suppose. Not much into hip-hop. I do like jazz and blues, but I was exposed to it a lot growing up since my parents were in the music business. And I was named after the greatest N.O. pianist.

It was funny being ridiculous without being THAT kind of dumb and stupid that I hate. The stereotypes were well done and thought out on all sides without being overdone by the Wayans brothers for the last 15 years. I enjoyed that the stereotypes were on both sides. IE, they even skewed themselves some. Like hiring Neil Patrick Harris's character because of Affirmative Action, complete with an annoyed eye roll.

So someone named their child Professor Longhair? Mayo in small doses. hip hop is ok, no crunk. If you can't sing, you damn well better have flow, for fucks sake. Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: Hayduke on July 31, 2007, 10:39:51 AM Yeah, my parents were good friends of his.
Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: Riggswolfe on July 31, 2007, 11:07:57 AM I could not watch all of Undercover Brother. Pootie Tang, on the other hand, I could not stop laughing during. (not that they really have anything in common other than stereotype jokes) I'm the exact opposite. I found nothing in Pootie Tang that funny but Undercover Brother I laughed at like crazy and am considering buying. Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: HaemishM on July 31, 2007, 01:44:38 PM Undercover Brother is one of those jewels like Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle. You don't expect a lot out of it, and you get surprised by how much is in it. It's got stupid and funny and smart in all the right places.
Oh, and speaking of Harold and Kumar, the guy who played Kumar will be on House next season. Title: Re: I may not be a white man Post by: Phildo on July 31, 2007, 02:25:56 PM He was also in Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj. Oops.

Oh, and speaking of Harold and Kumar, the guy who played Kumar will be on House next season. Both incredibly funny movies. The only thing that dissapoints in H&K is (now) knowing that Neil Patrick Harris was completely out of character. (well maybe not so much w/ the VW.. who knows) So they're really replacing all 3 of House's lackys, eh. Innerestin.

Twilight: No, sometimes I hunt British vampires. They don't have "African Americans" in England! Candidate: Oh yeah, huh, good point. Twilight: So I hunt blaculas. Candidate: I was just trying to be... Twilight: Man, I specialize in hunting black vampires, I don't know what the P.C. name for that is! |
