I really want Marlon to win but it's not catching. He is getting chance after chance though. Ya'll know what's funny though? That one of the best comedies of all time wasn't even written by a comedian. It was written by a freaking rapper in Ice cube. HOw in the hell can Cube write a timeless funny script yet these comedians can't? And Listen i get it. Doing standup and actually writing are 2 different things. But Marlon has been doing this for a while. He should be able to write a funny written script

The Wayan's low key ruined comedy in film for years to come.

Back in the day the formula was, make a normal movie. Cast a comedian as the star, let him make it funny.
But Hollywood copied their spoof formula where you , write jokes into the script, write humouress scenarios into the story. Make the entire cast comedians. Joke joke joke joke.

shyt is tired and played out for mulitple reasons.

One, movies are in development for years, so writing jokes into the dialog, means you'll have a bunch a of dated ass jokes by the time the movie comes out. Instead letting a talented actor ad lib the jokes during filming a few months before release.

two, writing a comedic story as opposed to a regular story means it will be a stupid story. Look at movies like beverly hills cop, the original ghostbusters, etc. Serious plot with just funny character taking part in them. Versus The Ghostbuster reboot, where we have extended scenes about wonton soup that fall flat.

all this is because the Wayan created a formula that was easy to emulate, but low key sucks and hollywood isn't original enough to realize how deep in the rabbit hole they've fallen. Now we have to create a subgenre called "dark" comedies, which is basically what all comedies used to be back in the day.


This is a excellent post. Rep. A lot of bad or average comedies are an extended skit versus a great story peppered with continually funny moments.

This was the worst fukking thing I've watched all year and Marlon Wayans is probably the least funny supposed comedian alive.
