Did Wayans Bros Lowkey Jack Martin Sitcom?

ALL tv shows copy each other

The cult episode might be a bite. But thats just the game. ALL those 70s/80s/90s sitcoms used the exact same ideas on the regular.

Fresh Prince and Steve Harvey did a jail episode.
People getting hypnotized
Every black family show had to do a gang episode in the 90s

etc etc

i been on an old sitcom kick... downloading sanford and son, jeffersons, what's happening, good times


all these shows copy shyt.. i can tell you a couple episodes martin straight up copied... the whole dynamic of the main male star going to war with the funny female cast member with the insults happened on at least 3 of them.. the jail eps... the going to vegas/cali eps... the "i'm gonna be on tv" eps... shyt what's happening had a episode where roger writes a story, thinks a network steals it, then the network explains that they just keep reusing the same shyts over and over again.. it was like they was just subs at the other shows and shyt

What's Happening had a cult episode 15 years before Martin.

and how the universe is set up...martin ended up on whats happening now..some of those same writers gave the same ideas to Richard pryor and red foxx...

thought about this a while ago....but too many Wayans eps had Martin plots in em it seemed...

The Jail Eps






The Cult Eps






The Apartment Robbery Eps









BuckWhite and White Mike

not takin away from how much i love the Wayans Bros....but they was jackin....

Every sitcom black & white has had a jail, robbery, & cult episode. Martin & Wayans Bros were nothing alike and both were hilarious.

Marlon basically copied & paste Martin cult FUKKERY, tho

From what I recall some of the writers associated with the Wayans Brothers had a history of stealing material. They got sued for stealing jokes back in 2011 and on a recent podcast Joe Rogan called out some of the writers from "In Living Color" for showing up at the comedy store back in the day and stealing jokes to turn into skits. It got so bad that some of the writers from the show were banned from the comedy store.

Think about just how much of the Wayans Brother's comedy is based on spoofing and parodies. Even that new show by Marlon that's supposed to debut on Netflix is just a twist on Groundhog day.
