Great "We Are The World" In Living Color spoof... Feat. characters of Ray Charles,Stevie Wonder,Tina Turner,Cindy Lauper,Yoko Ono,& Jim Carrey as Willie Nelson
@@ddnlee24 it was Jackie Jackson was out with his side chick was Paula Abdul when his wife Enid showed up beat up paula and ran over and broke Jackie's foot. He couldn't make the Destiny Tour.
The complete irony of Davis Allen Grier impersonating Ray Charles standing next to Jamie Fox who won an Oscar/Academy award for playing Ray Charles, who here didn't even convince the audience he is a talented singer; which he was known to sing after the show at the end. Query "This Christmas Jamie Fox In Living Color"
+Dalton Dodd David Alan Grier is poetry in comedic motion - who else can say 'we done screwed up our own lives' with a big shiny absurd smile on his face? LOL.
Never ever. Because if it was on today, then they would have all kind of problems getting the jokes over. Due to this new, PC, soft, triggered world we live in now. These were the peak years/era for comedy. But these brats today that they call comedians can’t hold a candle to these legends in this clip
Seanvan3311 Nah, that’s not true at all. Back then, it was much more edgier. And not just comedy, but everything. From music, movies, people, society, etc. I lived it! It is a total different climate today. Just make comparison. Everybody is so sensitive nowadays to handle the comedy era of the 70’’s, 80’s, 90’s, and even the early 2000’s. But most back then didn’t even trip on little jabs about gay’s, politics, etc. You must be a youngster.
+Dorelaxen It's easy to forget just how great that cast was. Even some of the people who just worked as writers and choreographers like Larry Wilmore and Rosie Perez went on to have big careers.
Willie Nelson : "Never paid my taxes, I always slept through math, now I need some of that Farm-Aid ........and a bath"🎵🎵 Ray Charles : "You show do!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂👈
Your comment is - perhaps unbeknownst to you - even double macabre because of the fact you posted this 8 months ago (approximately when Tina passed) and the fact that John Lennon said in his last major interview for Rolling Stone that he modeled him & Yoko like Ike & Turner but in a jazzier way. Funny since she said Tina was famous twice… which, in a sense, she was indeed
@@CamJames everyone knows Jamie foxx can sing though the others aren’t really known for their singing ability. This is the first time I found out Tommy Davidson could actually sing like that
There was so much talent on this show. Every time they parodied a celebrity, they nailed it. There was no question who they were imitating. The greatest show of it's kind ever.
So much talent in that show. My Mom and I used to watch every new episode religiously. My Mom passed away in 2012, but this show brings back so many good memories with her.
Oh my goodness, T'Keyah is just ON with Diana Ross! All of these comedians put a lot of time and research into these personality impersonations. Hilariousness all around!!
“Forget about the dieing world please help our career.” Man this is a seriously talented group. I hope they watch this and think “Mannnnn…. We are the sht!!!” Cause you are and will always be!
Yoko Ono: "Hello everybody. Are we recording it?" Quincy Jones: "Yoko Ono. Who let you in?" Yoko: "Oh the same guy that let the Dan Ackroyd in last time."
Tay Jackson I believe that part was a reference to the fact that everyone always claimed that Yoko Ono had no talent and was only known for being the woman that broke up The Beatles.
Oh, my god, Cindy Lauper and Diana Ross!!! I had to check twice!!!!. they are all amazing!!! And Yoko Ono, that mouth expression at the end of the singing was perfect!!!
More like the 80's. Some of them started already in the 70's but the original "we are the world"(USA fpr Africa) was recorded in 1985 (what this is a parody of)
Wow, I had forgotten how versatile & adaptable these actors were, same goes for the cast on MAD TV, those shows were incredible , how they could do so much with a minimum of resources
LOL...like ANY starvin' marvin got as much as a piece of corn. Anyone w/brains knows that all that money raised went straight into the pockets of the tinpot dictators who manufactured these "droughts" in the first place!!! (plus, it's kinda hard to grow food in a FUCKING DESERT!!!!)
Stevie Wonder Ray Charles Cyndi Lauper Tina Turner Willie Nelson Diana Ross Yoko Ono Lionel Ritchie Bruce Springsteen Daryl Hall & John Oates Wow, In Living Color showed no mercy! There will never be another show like it.
+catolog96 Bruce should not be in there - the man sells out stadiums like never before now. When I went to see him, the tickets were all gone on the day they were released. It was an awesome show, by the way.
...and to think David Alan Grier almost turned this show down because he didn't consider himself a comedian. That "Sho do" @ 1:25 had me cracking up. The best thing about In Living Color is the adlibs that catch you off-guard during the sketches. Even they couldn't hold their laughter in sometimes.
Jim Carrey is one of the one of the greatest actors that ever lived.. we are blessed to be in a time to him.. see someone who talent is Rated 10… A +..😆🤣😆
He was one of my favorites. I wasn’t alive yet when this was on tv but my family had it on dvd and always played it for us. I probably know this shit better than somebody that was alive when this was out😂🤷🏾♂️. When David was trying to flex his acting that one episode😂😂😂
I was a white teen living on a farm in Saskatchewan Canada and loved this show! All the colour bs cracks me up. Cultures transcend. Comedy is comedy. This show and comedy def jam. 👍. Good times
What an aweaome show this was, so funny and unapologetically crude 😂😂 miss those great times of tv, nobody got offended, everybody just laughed and had a good time
Tommy Davidson's impression of Stevie Wonder was so timeless! "Jungle Fever soundtrack/Might have made much better sense/If I could have seen what it was/What's it all abouuuuutt, baby?"
A time when comedy had legitimate relevance, In Living Color was a 'must watch show' in the 90s. It riveled SNL and was a contender to SCTV back in the day.
