there's not even talent on that level for him to produce these days. but for what's available he does a good job and like i said, it's the same type of unserious entertainment, with wayans having the edge on the comedy aspect
The world does not stop producing talented people. Part of the genius of Keenan was being able to seek out that type of talent that comprised “In Living Color” for example, and bring them together.

And it is not the same type of unserious entertainment. “In Living Color” was groundbreaking and touched on some of the most serious issues of our time… from politics to race.

Tyler and Keenan are not in the same lane.

bro i didn't even say talented people weren't around, i said "the level of" talented people. yes there are entertaining people but there is no eddie murphy and jim carrey level of entertainers these days, in my opinion.
the fact that you made that jump in logic goes to the point i made about people not being able to compare and contrast with nuance.

It’s not about nuance… this apples and apricots. Tyler and Keenan are not similar in style or quality. Period. But gon die on that hill.

As far as “ level of” it’s subjective. Keenan was deep off in the comedy scene (another stark contrast with Tyler) and knew where to look when it was time to put together his ensemble cast.

so basically if you only point of contrast is i laughed more at keenan, you are making my point. they can have a similar style of entertainment even if you just like one more than the other. these aren't mutually exclusive concepts.
they both do satire and slapstick that you can roll your eyes at, black based, yes tyler perry does focus on issues in the community like single parents, broken families, drugs in the community, domestic abuse, etc.
yes they both had their man dress like a woman moments.
it's a lot of similarities.

he does slapstick comedy that includes man dressed like women which like i said, same form of entertainment. the fact that one is a skit show and the other is in movie format doesn't negate that it's the same style lol
but the wayans have made plenty of it in movie format too. so you can't say "well wayans had a comedy show so it's different"..... that elementary level of thinking. respectfully

knowing that cbs wanted to get rid of john whitherspoon to air the wayans bros and they took their shyt elsewhere was one of those"well damn" moments. especially since i know the wayans bros would have failed on cbs
Wow, John Witherspoon is the best thing about that show

That madea/meet the browns shyt is one lane, Tyler has a bunch of dramatic shows that are pure garbage. Even if you want to say their comedy is similar, the sheer volume of crap he produces elsewhere is worthy of the hate he gets.
