I been having this arugment alot lately.. And I feel Martin isn't the best black comedy of the 90s.. Don't get me wrong Martin was the funniest nikka in the 90s.. But on the show when he wasn't involved in a scene the shyt was whack.. Only other funny characters were cole, hustle man .. Now the real gem was wayans bros. the show had a cast that was about 80 85 % funny.. All main characters and recurring character had a episode they could carry wit no drop off.. So in my option from a overall show standpoint wayans bros was funnier.. Pops dee tc Dupree white mike.. Any combination of them shyts on cole and Pam Gina n tommy corny asses..

This is interesting because both shows had 5 seasons but Martin had more episodes.

Wayans Brothers episodes got better towards the end of the series while Martin got weaker when Gina left.

This is tough but great topic!

Q.U./N.J.
Martin is still funny seasons 1-4 were good 5 doesnt count Martin stopped giving a fukk by then. Wayans Bros. Got off to a slow start it picked up after they brought Dee, TC, and grandma on to the show

Martin was funnier when I was younger. Today, I prefer the Wayans.

Fresh Prince was funnier than Martin, Martin was funnier than Wayans.

Martin Lawrence is one actor/comic that should have stayed in the 90s. Although Runteldat was surprisingly good.

Thats what made the show great and amazing. Martin's ability to transform into all these characters and all of them being hilariously funny that they took on their own personality.

Jerome>anyone on The Wayans Bros.
Shananay>anyone on The Wayans Bros.
Otis the security guard>anyone on The Wayans Bros.
Mama Payne>anyone on The Wayans Bros.

The Wayans show just doesnt hold up well at all IMO. The only one that was funny to me was Marlon. Shawn couldnt act for shyt even for a comedy show and wasnt funny and was corny IMO.

Hell Tommy and Cole had better moments than anyone not named Marlon on the show.

"Rent em spoons"
"I Got The Draws"

Must be an age thing b/c I hardly remember anyone thinking Wayans show was better than Martin. It aint even close.

I disagree with u as far as the characters not being funny because Pam was funny as shyt, Tommy "I got the draws" and the way that nikka said I'm a grown ass man to Martin when they kept asking about his job, Cole and "rent em spoons" is still hilarious.

But, as far as funny go Wayans Bros. is closer to Martin then what people think
