The characterization is🥴😮💨😬THIS was a children's show at that! Imagine this was a talking point in someone's playground🥴
I've often wondered that myself. Like why is being a black woman the entire joke?
Because we are the most stereotyped people. Black women generally don't act like this they just take our behaviors and make them over the top for the humour. If that makes any sense....
Tyler Perry does the same thing. SMH
It's a Sitcom Comedy, Sitcom doesn't have to be 100% accurate in real life
It's funny that people are complaining about them dressing this way but it was probably funny to people back then. No one made a peep.
Thank you for watching 🙏🏾 please subscribe
Well times were different back then. I was about 12 when this aired and yea I was laughing my ass off but back then I didn’t understand the ramifications this had on Black women. I’m in my 30s now and have a new perspective of what is right in media and what is wrong. I’ve think we’ve all come to better understanding of how we should be represented in media. Think of what the minstrel era did to the Black community, people learned over time that portraying Black people as caricatures was inappropriate and so they stopped even though it was a long haul before it was eventually wiped from Hollywood. This portrayal of Black women still happened today and is just as offensive as the minstrel era but the sad part is it’s our own people doing it which makes it in the eyes of YT people seem like it’s OK.
I miss this episode so much
Probably one of the cringiest things I've ever seen. Couldn't even finish watching it. And you KNOW there were white writers and producers behind this.
Unfortunately, it is sad but they’re going to continue to do this because you have people like Madea, and other characters of men playing black women, and the funny thing is whenever you call them out about it they always try to turn it around and make it seem like black women are or will forever be the butt of the joke when in reality if we play them like they portray us, it would definitely be a problem for them, smh
no the problem is who you're trying to blame for it.. who you think comes up with these ideas??? *other than tyler perry* these are *scripts given* to these sellouts. by who exactly? but who you wanna focus on?
@@50centricher9 DUH 🙄 I know that they’re sellouts but at the end of the day I said what I said and you don’t understand because you’re not a back woman. So you won’t understand.
@@vanessaknight2862but would u have the same energy once black men said the same thing about how WE are portrayed in media? Genuine question. Cause BW always come with their selective outrage when the jokes on them
But have nothing to say when it’s black men being the joke. And we are the butt of joke just as much as you. You don’t think we are hurt by this too? Especially because it is increasingly coming from BW. Very post on Twitter is bm this and bm that. You don’t think the everyday black man is tired of being shit on by his own women, racists, police, other bm, etc? We get ridiculed and lectured when we speak on our shit and are expected to man up and take it in stride. But BW? Always the victim of something and Bam are always the east target to take it out on.
It has literally become like a right of passage for black male actors (ESP. Comedians)🤦🏾♀️ Now they’re up here letting white men portray us in this derogatory way🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
This is black people not understanding white culture. THEY think it’s funny. And they are trying to market shows/movies to THEM. I remember in high school we had cross dress day. Where girls dress like guys and vice versa. NO black men dressed like a girl but like 10 white kids (the small few we had) dressed up and was dying laughing because they thought it was a joke. Have you ever heard of white boy fun? Where they slap each others penises, or say gay things to eachother or do gay things to as a joke. It’s just what they find funny. So the dress thing isn’t funny to black people but a lot of white people find it hilarious and since white people are the bigger MARKET (66%) they will keep doing it because that will make more money. White comedians (Robin Williams, Jim Carey, etc.) do it too.
This was really bad. I don’t remember seeing this back in the day. We didn’t need another Shenaynay and Wanda. They were teenagers emulating what they saw adult comedians doing during that era. Not taking up for them. There was nothing innocent about this clip at all. So they were basically making fun of black women who they knew. Maybe even their family members. 😢 Funny how neither of them have children with black women. (Correct me if I’m wrong). I believe all of Nick’s children are with biracial women. (Yes, black but light skinned).
@@DrRaeLoveCoachI'm guessing you're not into Sitcom Comedy
@@DrRaeLoveCoach He has ONE brown skinned baby momma (but baby mommas is a whole nother thing - is he overcompensating got the emasculation and degradation he went through as a young man?)
That’s how we are portrayed and viewed
As someone who has worked in these stores, this is all too relatable. This and the movie Clerks 🤣
This is hilarious!!
It is, and who cares ! People getting so bent over it ! Laugh a little people ok ! Dramatic entitled white women are made fun of just as much !
they had is watching this as kids we use to laugh but now i look back like wtf
Shaneyney would never 😂 This did not age well. Where the fuck is Wonda??
This is far less funny after you realize that the writers room for this show was all white men. Not to mention the negative stereotypes it must’ve instilled in the minds of young impressionable children of all races, some of whom had little to no interactions with black people outside of these television shows. Its very much giving minstrel show for kids. However you choose to look at it, this undeniably hurtful and dangerous imagery.
Yeah, on this show and Amanda Show, the characters they wrote for Black actors were plain caricaturish and problematic. Not to mention they often used the Black actors for the slapstick gags some of which involved being spit on. It's really tough having to see this through adult eyes.
Not a fan of it, tho making fun of Black (and ww, but they're not the focus here) women it has deep roots in comedy. I can recall comedian Flip Wilson doing this in the 70s and can recall old tv shows where white men did similar (Milton Berle, that movie Some like it hot).
I have someone arguing with me on a shade room post about Kenan and the person is saying that what they had these young actors do is completely ok and part of the culture. Sick.
Do people realize this is 1999? Its not recent at all.
Do you not realize that bm are still doing this ?? Tf
@@BooksandLooksTVBM?? This is a wyte TV show, wyte writers, and a wyte network so how tf BM the blame? They probably made them do it
I think it’s sad that this is a teen show which makes it worse.
Exactly 🤦🏾♀️
It wasn’t a teen show. It was a kid show. This is “All that.”
@@aderam648 I’m familiar with the show however it’s marketed towards teenagers or tweens.
This y’all community and y’all ain’t stop til this day 😒😒
I gotta admit, as a young Black teen at the time I found this hilarious. As an adult it’s super cringe. The biggest problem I really have with this is that it was probably pitched and written by YT ppl based on their views of Black women.
Devilish ritual
They could have gotten actual funny females to play this , all the funny female comedians we had in the 80s & 90s 😒
Will you do a full video?
yes
Terrible. They are playing themselves.
i understand being mad at them for agreeing to this, but i love how you and others are *more* mad at the actors than the people behind it. you got nothing to say about them (the producers, directors, script writers etc), but for the actors you got venom right?
It’s humor and since days of old this has been a form of humor, women do it too. Everything is already serious. It was funny then it’s funny now. Jmop
Funny how y’all were laughing right alongside us and now it’s a problem. Not to say it isn’t but let’s stop with the selective outage and backtracking.
Oh ok
No growth
This is a classic skit 😂 I’m sorry you can be sensitive but I’m looking at two young black men who made up a skit to smile on people faces. I don’t think they meant any harm. If you haven’t seen BAPS you shouldn’t comment some negatively.
Ok bye
It’s crazy we used to watch this in the 90s I remember watching all the episodes now I look at it as adult it’s wild they accepted to be in a dress . & they were in the late teens early 20s making this being emasculated
Lol at all of the comments.
I actually found this funny back then (and I still do). Newsflash, parodies come from real-life situations, and if you look around you, there were black women that acted like this, and they still exist to this day. Get over it. Comedy doesn't care about your feelings.
And no I'm not PC.
Thanks you for saying it.
This is just cringe
They stole the concept from Martin shanaynay
I saw this on facebook, i thought it was kel , but found out it was nick cannon today . The commenrs though were postive and finding it funny from all shorts of people and here is so bitter . I bet if it was white workers and a poc rubbing it will be a problem to. Sadly some ppl add layers to stuff that is not there but when the tables are turn you all laughing right . Comedy is to laugh if you dont want ti laugh go watch news
Its not funny
Dressing up as a black woman isn't funny. Nick and Kenan being crazy dressed up as black women was funny.
Why can’t comedy just be that, comedy. Stop making it about something more then it is.
What’s up with this fake outrage about black men in dresses after Kat interview? I’ve been knew way before the katt interview about the dress thing. People it’s not that serious it’s just comedy. John cena Adam Sandler mark wahlberg all have been put in dresses also 🤦
Here 🍪
This was never funny inwas confused about it when i seen it
Hmmm, it looks like they were doing a parody of BAPS. All That was the SNL for children and teens, so they do parody’s all the time. Plus, you can see the BAPs influence in the costumes, from the hair to the nails. Not everything is a freaking attack. smh
So it's possibly being a parody of BAPS makes it okay? It's still wrong whether it's a parody or not. Stop acting like you don't understand that.
Sweetie Baps ain't it is caricature and stereotype of black women which leads way to further discrimination and judgment of every day black women as if we don't go through that enough. It's the further defeminization of us quick to call us men quick to call his masculine because in their minds we're just men in wigs weaves makeup and claws
I’m a black man from Mississippi and this is hilarious to me. Of course you know why.. I love real women like this.. very fun to kick it with
Although BAPS is one of my favorite movies, even them actually being women was still a mockery/portrayal of how black women supposedly look and act from a "certain side of town", so the depiction was still happening regardless, imo-js. 🤷♀️ @@randomuser1105
@@randomuser1105If its wrong then go back all the way into the year 2000 and tell them it is

This is so bad
