CYPHER BONUS. Probably the best Rap Cypher mick take of all. The impressions are spot on especially Jay-Z when he says "hold my baby!" as he enters the cypher...
"BET Hip Hop Awards Cypher 2012- Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross, Big Sean, Waka Flocka"
If Facebook happened in real life, it would be just like this. Funny and unnervingly accurate.....
I didn't really like The State when the show first aired on MTV, but a few years later, my girlfriend had a Best of The State video and I started to see the appeal. Crispy Pops
In Living Color, on the other hand -- I got into that right away. Here we have Calhoun Tubbs. I once woke myself up singing that "ah-haa-ah-aaaaahh" bit. Apropos of what, I haven't a clue. Freaked out the neighbors outside my open window, I know that. I seem to remember the Homey D. Clown sketches being funnier than they seem to be today. But, hell, I was eleven. Even though I came up in poor or lower middle class black neighborhoods, it was In Living Color that introduced me to some of the finer points of racial politics. Timbuk The Last Runaway Slave This sketch is a particular favorite of mine. I think this was the first Wanda sketch, and though I don't have any evidence to back me up, I'm convinced that none of the cast had seen Jamie Foxx in costume before filming. Jim Carrey looks like he's trying not to burst out in laughter and Marlon Wayans' reaction is great, but David Alan Grier... aw, just watch the damn thing.
The Savage Eye, was a sketch show on RTE ( Irish TV, the only good show they had ), each week dealed with a theme, and it was very critical of politicians/police/priests, and very funny.
I don't know if the channel 4 stuff on YouTube is visible outside the UK, but here's Charlie Brooker's near legendary 'things the Sun has campaigned against' speech.
Great finds! I'd not heard of some of the Irish stuff! Even though its just over the waters from over here. A new comedic insight.
Right...if people want an exotic eating experience alot of people settle for Chinese or Indian food. So what do Chinese or Indian people do when they want some exotic food? From the Anglo indian sketch show "Goodness Gracious Me" ...Cult..Cult sketch........
What, no Monkey Dust yet? Yes it's animated, but this was a brilliant and dark comic gem throughout its short three seasons. I couldn't find most of the skits I was looking for, but here are a few 'lighter' pieces for you. Still, these are not for the easily offended.
