You can't fukk with My Wife & Kids but you think Blankman is a classic?:what::russ:

Blankman seems more appreciated post-comic book film take-over.

It's place is more about being a parody of these films before they even really took off.

I don't know if it's a classic but shyt funny though....

Always like Marlon but yeah Damon was the most talented.\


Homey the Clown>>>>

GOAT ILC character.

Yo, I remember like 10 years ago there was talks of a Homey D. Clown movie....:russ: I don't know what ever became of it though.

90s had so much black talent back then. Denzel becoming a bonafide movie star, Wesley had the action down pact, while Martin and Will owned TV. But we tend to overlook the original Wayan bros. I personally believe that Damon Wayans was the most talented entertainer of the 90s.

Breh has classics such as Mo Money, Blankman, Great White Hype and Major Payne. Pioneered arguably the goat sketch comedy with the goat cast with in living color. And brehs stand up is severely underrated and imo, is way better than most. I put him right behind chappelle and mooney as my favorite stand up comedians.

Such a well rounded actor and by far the most talented Wayan. I never really fukked with his wife and kids sitcom nor his new show. Breh gotta earn a living, but Dame is so much more that im sort of saddened his name never will never be mentioned in the same pantheon of great entertainers i mentioned before... hope im wrong.
Nah Damon is good.

If you notice he ALWAYS has some shyt. Like he always has a new series.. He'll get them all canceled but he always comes back :pachaha:

He stays workin he's good.

Lets not forget the Black Renaissance that was HBO on Robert Townsend's Partners N Crime and Damon's LL Junebug character. That was such a blessed time for black comedians in the late 80s early 90s.


That show opened the door for Def Comedy Jam and gave everyone on the show stand up specials (One Night Stands). Damon's being one of the best ever IMO.

Another slept on comedian was David Alan Grier. He killed every role he played.




Bro we used to play back "The Bold, The Black, The Beautiful" skits ALLLLLLL the time as kids. My dad had them on tape. We didn't understand half the humor but them shyts was funny anyway.

They had young Tommy Davidson and prime Robin Harris doing stand up.:wow:



I wish Robert and The Wayans would've stayed together. All of them did great work together

Heavily slept on and such a humble guy. He's the most talented of the Wayans and the reason why they were so big, not Keenan. Marlon came in second.
