15 Scenes We Love From “Dont Be A Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood”

See the original post here:

Every now and then a movie hits the big screen that makes you laugh, cry and ponder. It steals about two hours of your life and holds onto it for a lifetime. While I didn’t cry over the Wayans Brothers’ Don’t Be A Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood I did laugh until my kidneys felt like they would burst. It was one of the moments in black cinema when poking fun at our own culture and blockbuster history was done perfectly and perfectly acceptable. The Wayans brothers released this hood classic in 1996 spoofing popular movies: Juice , Jungle Fever , South Central , Higher Learning , Do The Right Thing , Poetic Justice , New Jack City , Dead Presidents , Friday , Boyz N the Hood and Menace II Society. It was written by Shawn Wayans, Marlon Wayans and Phil Beauman and produced by Keenen Ivory Wayans. Don’t Be A Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood grossed close to $40,000,000. Ash Tray and Loc Dog embarked on a typical day of being black in the hood and all the mayhem that could incur there after. Being Black On A Friday Night: “I hate black pepper!” Toothpick Straight Out Of Jail: “Take me to jail, and lock me up, throw away the key, I ain’t afraid to f*ck somebody in his a**” Ghetto Pastor & Church: “Dont ask how come or why come the pastor have to have him a nice house, or why the pastor got him a nice car” Staying Strapped In the Hood: “Do we have a problem?” Getting “Jumped” Into A Gang: “If you fall, you better pick yo’ a** up!” Getting Jumped In The Hood: “But I do!” The Love Scene: “That’s the baby’s lunch!” Loc Gets A Job: “I heard ya’ll n*ggas is hiring…Wassup?” No Positive Black Women In Movies: “I can’t teach you how to be a man” Doing hair in the kitchen: “Take yo a** down to them and let them f*ck yo’ head up!” Grandma Gets Knocked Out “Damn them fake teeth” Black Man Loving White Meat: “Tap that white girl, for me” I Got These Cheeseburgers: “You got any spare change?” The Man Is Out To Get Black People[Literally] “THE MANNN…” Leave your favorite scenes in the comments section…

America’s Goofiest College Race War [Higher Learning]

Are college kids in San Diego particularly racist, or just, perhaps, particularly dumb? Monday, a ” KKK-style hood ” was found “atop a Dr. Seuss statue” on campus, naturally. Allow us to briefly recap sunny UCSD’s recent reign of racial hullabaloo: On Feb. 15, some idiot frat boys hold a “Compton Cook-Out.” But the thing is these guys were actually white and not from Compton, you see! It was all just a run-of-the-mill, racist joke. It was funny when they ate watermelon there! Also UCSD kids were mad because there is a “satiric” frat boy idiot newspaper there called The Koala , which makes funny cutting-edge jokes about black people, for white people. The Koala apparently did not contribute to the atmosphere of healing in the wake of the “Compton Cook-Out,” if you know what we mean. In response, the UCSD administration planned a “teach-in” about racism. “LAME SAUCE,” was the opinion of our own UCSD correspondent and her non-frat-boy allies. So then, according to our embedded correspondent, the anti-racist UCSD forces “staged a MASSIVE walk-out of the teach in: something like 1000 students and faculty marched right the fuck on out of the administration-sponsored event and held a giant protest and alternative teach-in.” Is the anti-racism teach-in the real enemy here? We’ll leave that to current college students to decide. Then last week, good lord, somebody put a noose in the UCSD. Are there any remaining nooses in America not located on college campuses, at this point? The noose student anonymously apologized, saying it was all a big mistake. Here is our favorite part of that explanation : “I found a small piece of rope on the ground earlier in the day…. My friend then took the rope and tied it into a noose. I innocently marveled at his ability to tie a noose.” Now somebody has put a Klan hood on a Dr. Seuss statue. Maybe it was the Compton Cook-Out guys? Time for another teach-in! And another counterprotest of that sellout teach-in! Repeat, until student loans come due. [Pics: Flickr , Stop Racism at UCSD ]
