"You know who Caitlyn Jenner is right?" Then neither of them proceed to know who exactly Caitlyn is. Dude..I spit beer all over my monitor. That was like a comedy routine!
As a sociology master's student, I *died* when I saw this skit because it's literally saying that poor white people have more in common with black people than rich white people which is 1000% true
Precisely. The intersectionality of classism and racism. The "us" vs "them" should be working class folks against the mega wealthy and corporations. The proletariat vs bourgeoisie. Which is the entire point of right wing culture issues. To pit the working classes against each other while trying to convince the individual that they're just a multimillionaire in waiting. *"You* can be insanely wealthy, too! Just be a class traitor. Hate your neighbor, not your boss. Aren't trans people weird? Now pay no mind while I rob you blind..." Politicians on the right have done such a good job at mixing faith with politics, preachers have been told their preaching was too "liberal" after he read from the Sermon from the Mount.
@@cctomcat321 I find that genuinely interesting, I'm not even joking. Because from the rural point of view ( rural folks are generally all the same no matter their race ) we are experiencing the mirror opposite, and we see it coming from the left. To pit the working class against each other based on race and sex, intersectionality, city vs rural, and gender ideology to divide people into little small groups that they feel like they have to identify with and defend. Then stir the pot and watch all of the little identities fight themselves instead of the problem, the unelected continual corporate government, aka the deepstate. You'd probably call them the corporations, fascists, or commies, they are all the same thing. From the rightwing rural point of view we just want to get along with everyone based on their individuality, but ideologies keep getting forced into our communities through the government and corporate systems almost like they are trying to purposefully attack the culture. Just like I wouldn't want rural Appalachian culture forced into a school in Portland Oregon or Brooklyn New York, the opposite it true. We are being told that we are evil because we kinda miss the government style of America in the 80's and 90's, where we had plenty of national and international problems but everything was okay because the government and media weren't demonizing citizens and everyone put in the effort to get along. They are pitting small cultures against each other that are in truth actually far removed from each other and not an actual threat from the view of the common man of any race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, or religion.
@grimmmetals5290 respectfully, you should probably look up some of those terms. Some of them are opposed to each other. Especially what it means to be "right-wing." Sorry, but it just sounds like you have a bunch of uneducated people talking about how they feel vs what's happening. If you guys love equity and equality, then you wouldn't be having any issue with other types of people. But I'd wager a big topic of conversation is "DEI and the woke nonsense." Never mind how easy it is to pit the uneducated against their own interests. Especially when it comes to the uneducated white guy. A certain LBJ quote about pockets comes to mind. You can't whip around terms like "fascism" and "commie" (I'm a socialist) and expect them to mean the same thing. They don't. If you're worried about fascism? Go read the Heritage Foundation's Plan for 2025. When fascism comes to American shores, it will be draped in the flag, carrying a Bible and wearing a little cross necklace. And while you all argue about stuff most of you don't know about? Your bosses are selling out more futures down the line for short-term gains. Look up wage vs productivity, look up average cost of living increase over 50 years, the average first time ownership of a house increase, etc. The progressive "left" telling people that it's OK to be more than a white cis male aren't your issue. It's culture war nonsense literally drummed up in a think tank to accomplish exactly what you just did. Muddy the waters so bad, you can't tell your toe from a rock. But let's rock this out in good faith. What are some examples? Because you simultaneously claim to want individualism while saying individualism is being forced on you. This is why Trump loves the uneducated voter. And for the record? Democrats and liberals aren't "the left." They're centrists with a leaning to left or right depending.
" lives that matter" Tom Hanks " I got alot to say about that", Kenan " I bet you do" omg that is the funniest stuff ever I cried from so much laughter 🤣😂🤣😂
This skit does have a good message at its core. And I've been saying it forever. I've been fortunate to have been around many cultures in my life. We're more alike than we are different. The powers that be just want us to focus on our differences to keep us divided. We'll never be a United country until we realize that.
The message of this sketch is that poor white people have more in common with poor black people than they do rich white people. All politics are class politics. And fuck the identitarians.
@@rucksacks 100% its class issues, not race issues. However there is a reason the media and big corporations only push the race issue. It's easy woke points and they can get away with screwing their own employees all in the name of diversity. The easiest time to conquer are when a nation is divided.
This is my first time seeing this and I think it makes a point about how the working class has a lot more in common than the crap that divides us. It's actually kind of deep.
Hey Fellas. I read up on how this Black Jeopardy with Tom Hanks happened/came about. The SNL cast said that they weren't sure that Tom would pull it off as Doug during rehearsals but that he knocked it outta the park & became Doug when the time came to do it live. Tom ad libbed that backing up hands up move when Keenan came to shake his hand. The move WAS NOT in the script/rehearsals. It 'IS' magnificent Tom Hanks after all! :-D
Mr Video! I just finished work where I was verbally abused by a customer and I've been really upset since. But all it takes is 25 seconds of your video and I'm already smiling from ear to ear. Sorry for the annoying comment, I am just so happy I have your content to watch when I'm feeling shitty. Thank you, I can't wait to finish watching this vid!
This is one of the best bits SNL has done in decades. It's actually funny. It's also pretty wholesome. If I were any whiter, I'd be clear, but I live in the south. The difference between me and the black dude a farm over is pigment. We like the same foods, go to the same church, laugh at the same jokes and mostly like the same music. I'm just a lighter shade of brown than he is. Our kids play together all the time. I know racism is still a thing, but it's not much of one around here. Also, Hey big brother. Good to have you around. Have a great night yall.
I grew up in the South. I don’t know why racism is still a thing. Our valedictorian, head cheerleader and Homecoming Queen were all one girl named Keena, one of the country’s best and brightest and I hope she’s gotten all she worked for. But still there wasn’t that much mixing and people in town were in the Klan (all quiet like) and I don’t get it. They got Doug right, though. I knew a lot of Dougs.
@@BeeWhistler I've known many myself. And I don't know either. Oddly, I think the South has got it together these days far better than other places. When I was a little kid, I knew a couple of Klan guys myself, but all that is either gone now or so far underground that you can't see it unless you look hard and really want to find the bastards. I've never had a racially motivated problem in my life and I don't think anyone in the family has either. I'm in N Fla and my pop is from Ga, my ma is from here and I'm a seventh generation Floridian.
@@hillybillysillysally5086 Two points. Hate is taught, not born. People quit teaching hate and it will go away. Secondly, any statement that starts out, "Hey I'm not racist but..." tends to be an effed up statement. At any rate, have a good day.
All of the Black Jeopardy skits are hilarious (especially the one with Chadwick Boseman and the one with Eddie Murphy). I also recommend the SNL Family Feud skits! Keenan as Steve Harvey has me DEAD.
Your brother is your polar opposite. Your amazing energy that we're all accustomed too is significantly reduced with him next to you. He's hella low key and you're naturally oozing good vibes.
the funniest thing ive seen him do was in Catch Me If You Can. knock knock who's there? go fuck yourselves. never thought i'd hear him say that. oh yeah, he was hilarious in BIG also.
This is actually one of the slickest SNL skits they have had in a while. It pokes fun at stereotypes obviously, but what it ultimately does is show that people from completely different backgrounds, races etc... actually have more in common than they think. It makes you wonder why there is so much fighting when it's so easy to find some common ground.... even if you don't always agree on everything.
Love this skit! I guess the broomstick on the ceiling goes across the races 😂 we had a witch of a woman who lived in the apartment below us in Brooklyn and every time my younger siblings would run around, the witch would bang her broomstick on the ceiling and then my Mom would freak out on everyone. Every damn day.. I mean come on, kids have to play a bit; I hated that woman, Mrs. Watine.
Kenan and Kel both auditioned I believe, and it was a "one open role" situation. They picked Kenan, feeling that he was more versatile in his character work.
There's something more deep to this. And I love it. It shows we're all the same. Our skin color doesn't matter, we both have things that we both love. We're not so different
@GKeeper ... exactly how is saying that someone would be good on a certain platform saying that it would be easy? Improv is at the root of SNL skits, and forms the basis of the writing style employed, and Mr. Video puts out improvisional content every day. He distinguishes himself from other reactors with his ability to reference aspects of pop culture, current events and personal experience in an often humorous way. So much so that he has been acknowledged by some of thise he reacts to. Can he use training? Probably. Is he getting traing through his content creation? Absolutely. If he so desired, he can look to speed up the process. Second City in Chicago is a 4 hour drive from his base in Toledo. Right now they have online classes that he would not even have to commute for. There is also probably local places where he could further develop his talent.
Great series of skits - and there are actually at least 6 of them in total! Off the top of my head: Louis CK, Elizabeth Banks, Drake, Tom Hanks, Chadwick Boseman, and Eddie Murphy. IMO, Hanks and Boseman are the funniest ones. 🙂
I have never laughed as hard as I laughed in theatres seeing team america world police. My dad was mortified when he found out the content we were seeing on the big screen. Caught him laughing a couple times though :)
Stereotypes are borne out of reality. Every group bears them. They allow us to laugh at ourselves and they help us to look inward. Some are true and some are false. Its up to us as humans to have the humility to be introspective and admit our faults and hold up our strengths. Good luck people. Great video, glad I watched.
I've watched this many times but I still had to see your reaction. The thing that made me laugh the hardest was the broom stick knocking and the church clothing remark.
Greetings from up in Canada. This gave me a nice distraction from the freakin snow storm with 50mph winds that's happening outside... yes a snow storm.
This skit was taped before the 2016 election, that’s when I saw it the first time and laughed my butt off! I’ve seen it many times since, and laugh, every time. You guys might like to watch the Black Jeopardy with Chadwick Boseman, who played T’challa, the Black Panther. Friggin’ hillarious!
It was all in fun. Not racist. I think it came from SNL.Give your bro Leo some more smoke. Just chill and enjoy life Sonny. If you were in a war somewhere a white guy saved your life or took a bullet for you would you still feel this way. Guys that came back from the Vietnam War sure change their mind. Love you Leo keep that personality, smile, and sexiness. ;)
Finally Mr. Video in a real smokin session instead of takin one hit and the shit goes out and he light it again like 300 times I thought for a sec dude couldn't handle the smoke
My favorite video from you so far! Any of the Celebrity Jeopardy! bits are funny, but as far as the Black Jeopardy! skits, this was the best to date from SNL.
