- In Living Color is an American sketch comedy television series, which originally ran on the Fox Network from April 15, 1990 to May 19, 1994. Brothers Keenen and Damon Wayans created, wrote, and starred in the program. The show was produced by Ivory Way Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television. The show was taped before a live studio audience at stage 7 at the Fox Television Center on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, California. The title of the series was inspired by the NBC announcement of broadcasts being presented "in living color" during the 1950s and 1960s, prior to mainstream color television. It also refers to the fact that most of the show's cast was African American, unlike other sketch comedy shows like Saturday Night Live whose casts are usually mostly white.
Other members of the Wayans family-Kim, Shawn and Marlon-had regular roles, while brother Dwayne frequently appeared as an extra. The show also starred the previously unknown actor/comedians Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx, and David Alan Grier. Additionally, actress Rosie Perez, Dancing with the Stars judge and choreographer Carrie Ann Inaba and dancer Jennifer Lopez (now best known as a singer and actress) were members of the show's dance troupe The Fly Girls.
In Living Color was 100 times funnier than SNL
snl sucks. the jokes aren't funny.
+Jose Navarro SNL had a brief resurence from like 97 to 2003 it was pretty good then
+Cristiano Escobar. Hell yeah...he on the wrong network....white people gotta love'm
+Lee L Could not agree more...just sayin`....
+Lee L a stubbed toe is 100X funnier than snl
You can tell that Damon was trying his hardest to keep from laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This happened a hell of alot with these 2 during these sketches.
Check out the giggling group from The Carol Burnett Show.
A 70s era prime-time sketch show.
You'll see nostrils quivering on the bright red faces of seasoned professionals, unable to contain their joy of one another.
@@betsybrains Oh yesss!!! 🤣🤣🤣 My mother let me see that show and yes it was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 I don't think nobody could hold a straight face!
@@jessicacooper3236 Joy upon joy! Big hugs and humanity-sharin' smooches!!
@TANK USHER 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Damon Wayans and David Allen Grier made this work. It's nice to remember a time when America knew this was satire.
So did I 😃
Mo Better Butter, Handi-Man, Fire Marshall Bill. Classic.
“Well touch me in the morning and then just walk away!” 😂
peoples are just too touchy these days...
It was simply good. Their satire had more depth and personality than any lgbtqx characters on tv then. Great writing, fantastic delivery.
David Allen Greer never got the credit he deserved as a sketch comedian.
He was funny as hell, I always liked him.
He didn't think he could do it do to his theater background.
now he is this irl
Loved him in Boomerang
Love him
I miss these two old QUEENS. 😀 😃 😄 😁 😆 😅 😂 🤣
The Wayans were ahead of themselves. Television could use a sketch comedy like this, right about now.
Yes, it's called KEY & PEELE.
@@jondunmore4268 Not even 1/100 as funny as In Living Color, but it's better than nothing I guess.
@@Vunderbread -- We shouldn't be arguing over whether K&P is funnier than ILC, rather that all these funny shows (including MadTV) are gone and yet the UNFUNNIEST show of them all - SNL - somehow still limps along with its half-baked acting and lame writing and cue-card-reading.
Yes we DEFINITELY could use a show like this, but now the world is WAAAY to sensitive!! Can't say or do anything without offending SOMEBODY!!🙄😑 i miss the 90's!😭
@@faieyeager5928 thats why and what clever writers do. Miss them tooooo
That tiny hat 😂😂😂😂
Christopher Huff the tiny hat always kills me lol
So jaunty!!
I'M SCREAMING!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@GeronFletcher the tiny hat on Blaine is so classic
With the bangs!! Lol
You could never get anything like this on the air in 2020. Long live the '90s!!
SEERRRIIOUUSSLLYYY! I miss these days!! The 90's were the BEST!
The 80’s too because Archie Bunker and George Jefferson were beasts with the sensitive topics
True because everyone now a days, everyone is so thin skinned!
@@cyyrious They were from the 1970's, actually! Cannot believe how TV has devolved since then!
These guys were out and proud and didn't apologize for anything.
"Don't tempt my tummy with the taste of nuts and honey."
My favorite line ever 😭
I coughed on my blunt when I heard this 😭
"Well touch me in the morning and then just walk away."
I haven't forgotten that one after 30 years.
There's no way I could say that and not burst out laughing.
Man said Who dropped the soap? I'll get it.
My slow a-- just got that joke as I read your comment!! Lol🤭
“Well touch me in the morning then just walk away.” Had. Me. DYING! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Diana Ross should be proud! 😂
I laughed my ass off!!!
Right! I laughed my A$$ off 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who remembers watching this Sunday night, and then talking about it with your friends at school the next day? EPIC!!!
Yup! The Simpson's, married with children and then this.
🙌🙌
Yes indeed!!!!
Definitely did.
@@kryten09 Fox had the lineup of lineups back then on Sunday. I loved- and still love- Married with Children.
T.V will never be this funny ever again.
Heaven is a dirt nap FACTS!
Nope because the liberals cant take a joke
No conservatives are pushing the white Christian victim complex instead
People act like TV and the culture are so sanitized. Ever watch "Veep" or "American Dad"? Yeah, so fuck off.
@@matthewrettenmund8358 : The best comedy writers are a vanishing breed!
Damon Wayans with that little hat and them bangs has me cryin 🤣🤣
As a gay man, I watch this and think how I should be offended but I swear it is dead on and funny as hell!
At least y'all can take a joke like most other people straight or not. The "T" people on the other hand...
Hell yeah. It’s supposed to be homophobic but it’s incredibly spot on for 1990. To be honest though, HATED IT
It's because modern social conditioning is to assume everything is "phobic" or "rooted in hatred" in some way, even just simple jokes or noticing patterns of behavior in a community.
Who tf watches something and seeks to be offended? The hell is wrong with you?
I knew a few gay dudes who couldn’t stop laughing when it came on
Damon wayans and david allan greier had the best chemistry on this show. In living color had such great talent on it.
My partner 🌈 and I watched this religiously! As gay men , we laughed because it highlighted parts of ourselves that we often felt we needed to hide . The creative nature and investment in character development was so spot on . I will always be greatful for the wayans family for this show ‘In Living Color’ . So many great skits and characters we loved to see and laugh
.....the two MEN ON....BLAINE and ANTOINE...were actually asked to be GRAND MARSHALL'S of L.A GAY PRIDE....that's how popular they had become....but the two actors refused...it had become too much for them by this time....everyone loved the MEN....SO MUCH....even my DOCTOR and I would do the 2 SNAPS UP....in Z FORMATION....
Some time ago Huffington Post ran a piece asking if the skits were homophobic, & also as a gay man I was baffled. Back when the show was on I knew so many guys just like this, I’d see them at the clubs, so theatrical & funny & assertive; I envied them because I was so much more shy & reserved. I thought it was a totally positive portrayal & not hostile at all
Love this discussion. Thanks for sharing!
My son is gay and a Gen-Z kid. He finds these skits hysterical.
Cancel cancel culture 😅
Man, Damon Wayans was a GOD on this show. Absolutely hilarious in every character he did, and he had so many greats. Him and Jim ruled television comedy at this point.
I LOVED Homey D Clown.
Monday on the bus or in school you were either talking about Jim's sketch or Damon's sketch the night before, and if it was a great episode, usually both of them.
Agreed ☝🏽
Yeah I was a huge fan. He tried too hard to do serious or somewhat serious films and it kinda fell flat while guys like Jamie Foxx and obviously Jim Carrey made it. Kinda sad cuz Damon was my fave back then from the show
Damon and Jim were in the move: "Earth Girls are Easy" together b4 in living color came out
The best part of this "Men on Film" series was the two guys trying not to laugh.
Keenan Ivory Wayans is a damn GENIUS. this beats the shit outta SNL..
SNL was extremely funny a long time ago. Those days are now gone forever!
@@gloriaf6971I don't think they said SNL wasn't funny but it did not compare to in living color
@@jonstardc7160 I know what was said.
This would get cancelled in today's culture. So grateful for being born in 80s
The stereotypical aspect of the bit would have got some people fired today. But at the time this was playing with fire. And in poked the bear (so to speak).
Why is this comment on all of these similar comedy bits? No it wouldn’t. Stuff these days is FAR more raunchy. This is basically on the same level as a tame drag show, and you know who gets offended by drag shows? Conservatives.
Comedy has been dead the past 20 yrs. Trying to pander and not offend. So they make sh8tty shows
@@selenachan4230 👌 boomer
I was born in 1980 and I definitely agree!
Of all the comedians David Allen Grier was the most underrated. Best show ever. Love the Wayans.
Love when he makes cameos on Martin as Pam’s perverted pastor cousin 😂😂 David is so funny & underutilized smh
I always remember the phrase "Hated It." I always watched this show, but never understood the references when I was young, but now that I do, it's hilarious.
Me Too 😂😂😂💯
A newfound appreciation for sure!
Yes totally agree!! Back then I watched for the new snap and couldn’t wait to say hated it
Me too! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly!!!!
Those tiny hats he wore had me crackin up
With a piece of weave!😆
Best part
Me too 😁
😂😂😂
@@SandyRed881 😅😂😭
I know one indisputable fact: even on its best day SNL couldn't even dream of holding a candle to In Living Color. In Living Color and Monty Python were the greatest shows of all damn time!
Madtv was great too. 😁
@@path2304 yep!
In Living Color had the GROOVE and the SUAVE, thsoe little dancing segments and the relaxed way everyone acted... SNL couldnt do that good in their dreams
SNL rejected Jim Carrey and fired Damon Wayans.
I think SNL had it's moments back in the day. Living Color was consistently hilarious. Monty Python is pure genius, those guys are the GOATs, but a lot of their humor doesn't really hit over here in the US, it's very very British. Even I don't understand some of it, but those guys were so damn creative.
We didn't realize back then how many comedy legends were on one show...
That's because they weren't legends 🤡
I took comedy for granted. Never in a million years did I think we would get to where we are today. Comedy has been dying a slow death since about 2010. Early MAD TV was amazing as well, consistently funny.
Here’s a few that came from that show, Jim Carrey, Jamie Fox, Jennifer Lopez, Carrie-ann Inaba…
Can’t forget Rosie Perez as well
And Oscar winners!!
It always crack me up when David Alan Grier tries to hold in his laughter and gives off that high pitch giggle! 🤣🤣🤣
I always thought he was gay, or at least bi, gave off some gay mannerisms. Married and divorced twice and still single now, soooooo...
My fav skit was when they said the black stallion is not about Denzel Washington lolll
Acting
@@spaniardsrmoors6817 Surely you aren't correlating someone being divorced twice and single with being gay?
@@mictza450 Yeah, like that's never happened before, eh? And don't call me Shirley.
When he said who dropped the soap I'll get it, I about died laughing. I don't care how many times I've seen this it's still hilarious.
Joshua Hull except that bleeped it out here? Why?
All those sweaty Mens! 🤣🤣😂
RIP comedy. This show was gold, and I am so happy I was able to watch it as a kid.
"Touch me in the morning n then just walk away" why I'm still in tears all these later this ish was hilarious and still is
"Nuts n Honey" "What'd you say" "Nothin Honey" 💀 LOVED IT
Blaine: *GASP* well touch me in the morning and then just walk away!!
YESTERDAY'S GONE MY LOVE THERE'S ONLY NOW...
LMAO🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao classic
@@MICHGO1 sing it Mahogany 😂
I still go into fits of incontrollable laughter when he says that line even though I know it's coning. Wayans family, Carrey, Foxx, DAG, etc Comedic genius's (?) all.
Nowadays. They’d be complaining that it was stereotyping but I’m gay and I find these sketches hilarious!!!!
Hopefully things have changed for the better. With shows like Will & Grace and Pose, these types of characters are more accepted. I know plenty of gay men like this as well as the opposite. That's the thing that always bothers me, it's not as
if they don't exist, because they do! Be out and proud! Happy Pride! 🏳️🌈
brandomeow a rational comment on this video?
Amazing
Ditto! This doesn't offend this gay man!
This certainly does not offend this gay man!
@@geraldhostettler4527 are you related to any Hostettlers in Ohio? I have a huge number of Hostettler relatives
Funniest thing about the ‘Men On Films’ skits is the fact that Damon Wayans and David Alan Grier are trying so hard not to laugh
When I was a kid, I thought this clip was hilarious!!! Then I grew up, got ALL of the jokes and innuendos , and realized just how Hilarious this actually is!!!!
Same... I can't believe my parents let me watch this with them lol
I agree, I was in my early teens when this show was on, but watching it as an adult is even better. It actually shocks you at how much they used to get away with, we've been so conditioned to accept this shit comedy we get today we forget how funny stuff used to be. Late 90's-early 00's Comedy Central was absolutely killing it too, they had so many funny shows, now look at it. Sad. At least we can find the old stuff online still.
Right
Bring IN LIVING COLOR BACK!!!
This is still hilarious all these years later
Tamara Randolph UTUBE is the only place you can come now to get comedy like this.
that piece of hair under that little hat...got me falling out lmaoo
It is funny as hell because I know they are both straight as arrows. Remember watching in the 90s. You have to be a comedic genius for that kind of timing.
You could never do this skit nowadays because the commie woke crowd would have a hissy fit.
@@richardleonardon2192 wrong, stop being a snowflake. Key and Peel have plenty of sketches where either one of them, 2 straight males, play a gay character, and there was no backlash, no demands that comedy Central take those episodes off air. Why? Because "haha they're gay" wasn't the joke, they didn't say anything derogatory or disparaging about being gay, much like Men on Film skits. Was in living color a bit heavier on the stereotypes? Of course, but they weren't making fun of being gay. Meanwhile this sort of skit probably wouldn't fly on SNL even during the same era (80s) because their audience was much more mainstream and conservative. Crazy how Fox Broadcasting was once seen as edgy, crude, boundary pushing tv with shows like this and married with children, but these days they're synonymous with whiny fake conservative Fox News.
@@EasyCure0 you do realize Key and Peele show was getting backlash and their show ended right before all this woke Me Too and BLM nonsense
I miss those days so much
Yeah. Because if they were actually gay no one would have supported it. But because they are making fun of gays it was funny and acceptable
EVERY Sunday night I was tuned into In Living Color.
These two magnificent actors...
The delivery of the lines, the make up, the wardrobe...and then their efforts not to crack each other up
“Pilot to copilot, we’re going down in flames.” 😂😂
ROFL. These "Queens" were my favorite In Living Color Skits and I loved all of them.
I'm crying laughing at this. I'm so happy this show came out when it did. It wouldn't happen today. Ppl are too sensitive.
Penny Isaac you're a cutie
No, we're not. As a gay man, this was one of my favorite things on this show when it came out. We can laugh at ourselves as long as its done like this. This could definitely happen today and everyone would laugh. Ever watch Modern Family? Pretty much the same thing and bunny as hell.
Yep, the social justice warriors would have ripped In Living Color apart on Twitter and ruined Black Entertainment and Culture history!
Exactly, so annoying.
Way too sensitive
“A fish called Julia” comment still cracks me up !!!😆😆😆😆
100 years later and it's still hilarious 😂
This is funnier than anything on TV right now!
Whose missing this show in 2018?
My favorite here is in the begining - when he bends over and the other one can't stop staring at his arse !
Me, and in 2019
2019
Missing it now in 2019.
2019
How’d they keep a straight face during this 😂😂😂😂
Growing up in the UK, I missed out on this amazing show when it originally aired, but finally being able to delve into the comedic genius of In Living Color has been a revelation. Hands down the best US sketch show I've ever seen. Damon and David in these Men On skits are outrageously hilarious, they have me cracking up! "2 snaps, a twist, and a kiss!" 😂 Gotta love them!
You guys didn't have this??
Nope. It was never shown on terrestrial TV over here as far as I know. Apparently it was shown in 1992 on SKY One, but as my family didn't have satellite TV, I never got to see it. This would have been a never miss show for me back then if I'd had access to it.
@@Sara_Kane It’s still so hilarious pretty much all the skits glad you can enjoy it now!
“Two snaps a twist & a kiss!!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stop. Can't touch this.
Damon with those little hats.🤣🤣
Apparently, there are called "Fascinators."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I grew up so sheltered....i never saw an episode of In living color...what have i been missing all my liiife!!!
You missed real comedy,
That’s scary
girl i had to sneak and watch it back in the day
Fortunately for me my mom didn’t believe in censorship and I watch every episode until that crappy season 5 came out.
I don't know how these guys didn't break character!
I always loved how he found those little hats.
After all these years, I'm still crying over "Well just touch me in the morning and then just walk away "😂😂
2 snaps and a twist
Jamey Irby... And a kiss😘
Stop... Can't touch this
And the one that says REWIND
"Next we have Dick Tracy...I like the title but the movie just left me limp!" XD
😂😂😂😂
HOLLERED....HAD TEARS😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"All the characters fit their names. You know, Flat Top had a flattop. Pruneface look just like a little prune. But I never got the chance to see Dick's thing". Damon had me laughing when he said that. 😂🤣🤣🤣
@@devares2006 same😂😂😂😂
‘What courage it must have taken for Lil Spike Lee to take off them glasses and let that little head get knotty.’ 🤣 Took. Me. OUT! 🤣. If you know, then you know.
Better than anything on SNL in the past 20 yrs
OMG I remember watching this as a kid and laughing my butt off. I was 9 or 10 and yes my parents let us watch In Living Color because it truly was hilarious. 😆
Me too
Same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😂
I had the best time the day after it was on TV imitating Fire Marshall Bill in school.
I miss this show
Imagine if this was done today, it would be lawsuits and complaints all over the place! People need to lighten up and laugh a little
Bill Maher said the same thing, women & Millennnials (in particular) need to lighten up and learn how to take a joke. This p.c. thing is a cancer.
+Marvin Thiessen bill maher is a flip flopping douche.
DJaySplitSecond Its like we evolved from the 50s and now we've come into an Alternative 50s pc twilight zone.
oh please when have GAYS ever complained about something like this? Stop with the phony outrage
Bahia82 wake up.. they always do
I would give ANYTHING for them to do a reunion of this as a special. By far the funniest skits. They were perfect ♥️🤣🤣
You're not lying there
@Tim Sampone, u couldn’t even do this as a reunion show these days because the folks are so afraid of hurting the gay community that they are not even funny!
@@janinecox256 I know and it's so annoying. As a gay guy I find this hysterical!
We need this in 2024
This show was fantastic. When TV was TV.
David Allen Grier adding an "s" at the end of every word...rotf
"Just a hint Arnold try looking in the closet"😂😂😂😂☠💀
sancm8898 I didn’t get that one
@@mariahwhitneycelinejanetmadona I do 💀💀💀 Hollyweird reference
@@mariahwhitneycelinejanetmadona I always thought that he implied the Arnold was in the closet, meaning downlow, a reference used for men who secretly have sex with other men, while pretending to be straight.
@Peaches J what can I do for you?
For decades there have been rumors about his bodybuilding days and what he did to pay the bills.
best segment of the show
Paul Contreras 😂🤣 that and Firemarshal Bill 😂🤣
I think it's hilarious, so does my gay brother....what i think is weak is people that don't have the balls to put their real name on things but feel free to run their mouths. They are cowards that would never have the balls to approach someone in person but feel extremely brave behind keyboards w/ screen names to hide behind....
@INTERNETWORK trigggeeerrrrrreeeedddddd
That little hat tilted to the side with that little hair 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This show completely upheaved sketch comedy at the time. Those of us that were paying attention were all laughing and in disbelief at the time. It was riding the line between underground and mainstream, and it still holds up today. But special shout to those over 45.
You could see Damon was almost about to laugh and break character at 3:35
Who doesn’t still say, hated it, in a sing song voice every chance you can fit it into conversation? 😄
Loved how they delivered such outrageous getups to wear for each episode!
“Sweaty mens “ 😂
THIS IS PURE GENIUS AT WORK. THEY WERE VERY VERY YOUNG AND STRAIGHT MEN WHO BECAME ICONS IN THE GAY COMMUNITY BECAUSE OF THEIR EXCELLENCE AT THEIR ACTING AND CREATIVE ABILITIES!!
INTERNETWORK naw this was comedic genius at work. No question
“This one should have been called a fish called Julia”
LAWD - A - MERCY !
😂
"well touch me in the mornin~" hahahahahahahaha Gotta LOVE Men on Films!
The verisimilitude is spot on. As a gay man, I am not offended in the least because I laugh at my friends who have these personalities 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
My high-school years! Couldn't wait to watch...LOL
Used to love these sketches back in the day...Damon Wayans & David Alan Grier are hilarious 😂
"Pilot to co-pilot: we're going down in flames." Damn I love this show. XD
classic when you actually had to have talent to be on TV
Facts!!!
"well touch me in the morning and then just walk away" LMAO We'll never see this type of comedy again
I swear Damon tried to keep making David break character everytime they did these
Simpler times, when we all got picked on, could laugh at ourselves, and not be all in our feelings.
I love watching this show, lol i adore all the Wayans work 😄👏👏
Hi ebony! I love you too I'm I love it too
I don't love you but cool.. lol
+ebony White I love lamp
I MISS IN LIVING COLOR
Could hardly wait every week to see this show
In Living Color was one of the best shows ever
I love watching them crack eachother up on this show.
Happy 60th Birthday David Alan Grier
Can`t believe it's censored now when it played on TV in the early 90s.
This was by far the funniest sketch on In Living Color. They were hilarious 😂😂😂
Oh Lordy, these two were hilarious. Loved them so much. Still funny nearly 30 years later.
Two snaps, a twist and a kiss!
Stop. Can't touch this
back when men weren't afraid to be judged, u wouldn't see comedians do this now .
Except foe sacha baren cohen
Great comment. so true
ebony White thumbs up
uranium 239 Uranium, I'm looking over the things that you are saying and cannot believe what I am reading. I judge no one because God is judge and the only one who knows your heart. Please hear me, I do not blame you for any of this. When you were born into the world, you did not bring this hate with you. As a child, your biggest concern was probably finding someone else to play with. But then the worst possible thing happened; someone contaminated your mind with thoughts of hate & prejudice. It is not your fault. I blame the person who handed over to you their ton of bricks to carry. Just remember that you don't have to carry this bag of bricks bag for the rest of your life. It will take time, effort, & lots of healing but the moment you drop that bag, you'll realize what a gift it is to be free, that same feeling you had when you were just an innocent little boy. And by the way, Jesus came to earth to spread peace, love & the gospel. His purpose was to GIVE life, not take it away. So if anyone ever tells you that God is behind this plot to destroy billions of people, it's a lie straight from hell.
And to Ebony White, I am mostly disappointed in you. Rather than reaching out to help this man in need, you called him a failure and push him down even further. Please don't do that. You're a big girl and capable of something so much better than that. Good luck to both of you.
uranium 239 hey bruh id watch what you say on the web. if you want to say that stuff make a video, but don't hide behind such hateful words.
As a gay man this is hilarious
Such a shame we can’t do this these days.
Omg!!!! I am choking and laughing at the same time. I wish they would re-air In living Color. I miss this show. True genius and untouchable talent in the cast.
It still airs on BET sometimes. I still watch when I can catch it.
Ooh No! The G-mafia would shut it down
This was my favorite show! Never missed an episode. What a great show. Miss this.
