It’s weird because Ramon doesn’t have the Spanish accent and doesn’t seem Spanish at all in the episode lol kinda weird stance from a guy who was in Whiteboys and dropped the N-word numerous times in that movie
this guy is full of it. they hired him for that part because of the characters he played in his stage act and then he all of a sudden changed his mind when he showed up.
I’m curious how this guy feels about standup comedians using accents and mannerisms to implement intentional stereotyping into their routines. Some of the well known comics (Pryor, Chapelle, Mencia) did/do it quite often. Is he okay with those? If so, why? I’m truly curious why it’s different, and seemingly OK, when presented in standup routines.
John Leguizamo has an almost identical story about almost being cast on Seinfeld, and bailing when they kept urging him to make the character more of a stereotype.
The actor that played "Manny" does not actually have a Spanish accent. The actor who played "Poppie" does not actually have an Italian accent. The actress that played "Marlene" does not actually have a southern accent. The actor that played "Babu" does not actually have a Pakistani accent. Jason Alexander does not actually have a NY accent.
1989 this was "the jam" at a few of the hip gay bars in and around Detroit,Mi......That drum beat was a killa!!!plus that little guitar solo picking and pluckin' nested in that heavy back beat.....we danced all night until the floors were worn and dented. Old school "steppin"....Wow!!!!Those were the days!!!!
Carlos Jacott ( that played Ramon) didn't have an accent or act any type of stereotypical way in the actual episode. So if that is what their actual intention was...it didn't happen.This seems embellished and goes against everything that everyone that worked on the show said. Good for him though. This story is why everyone came here.
Lmfao what in gods name are you talking about. The Ramon character was portrayed as & spoke exactly like a typical whitewashed working class PRican-murican man. Again, what? What’re you talking about…? Are you being sarcastic or something..?
Poetry and Rap are two different arts. I remember this poem from years ago and have been searching for it. But when it was recited without any background score, it was much more powerful
@@RoyalKnightVIII The last thing he said: "Maybe, if they at least paid me, I wouldn't be telling this story." That says it all. If they would have PAID him, he would have kept quiet - like Rose "Sellout" McGowan. Regardless, I don't hear even the slightest accent by "Ramon" in that episode.
@@RoyalKnightVIII How is it stereotypical? And how is it any different than the intentional stereotyping by standup comics, including well-known standup comics? Do you object to that as well?
its not about race, its a common theme that Seinfeld has guys coming onto him and he doesn't want to be friends with them, most of them white also Seinfeld is an equal opportunity offender, they make fun of everybody
I agree. I really loved him in Black Hawk Down. I re-watch that scene where he is impersonating Gen. Garrison all the time..... and it's funny every time lol
@@beatrixxkiddo4584 Hi Something I have been in search for quite sometime is a connection with somebody that goes beyond vanity. It's very hard to do in this day and age. People can be, somewhat very superficial. On my quest to achieve this I have learnt a lot about human nature. It seems to me that those who are not given traits such as beauty or being wealthy are some of the nicest, kindest and generous people. While the "gorgeous" and well off seem to be the most arrogant and greedy people out there. Of course that's not to say there aren't beautiful kind people out there. I've been in the process of change for a while now and I have made some decent changes. I saw your profile and it intrigued me. I wanted to learn more about who you are and what type of path you would like on in life. Can we talk?
This the attitude that got u on RU-vid and not the big scene . Everything is not a conspiracy wtf . If he’s not Spanish and he’s was Italian would u make a big deal ? Wtf is the problem bro
They wanted the accent to show that they’re from different worlds. The guy who got the role played Ramon as weirder than this guy which was different enough. This clown sent in an audition with multiple different accents and then refused to do them when he showed up.
