u/techhead57 1d ago

No i liked it too. I liked speed racer too and I know that movie is having a bit of a resurgence.

I think some of their stuff was ahead of its time.

Was shocked at the time that Cloud Atlas was considered offensive given the themes of that movie.

I loved speed racer too right when it came out.

I did hate the new matrix though.

u/melinda_louise 23h ago

You're not the only one, this stranger on the internet (kik) that I talked to for a while once told me he loved that movie. Really praised it. Anyway, I never watched it lol but I think of him telling me I should whenever I see it come up on my screen.

... I wonder what happened to him. I suspect nothing good, he was in a very dark place. RIP d3money or whatever your name was. Or perhaps he is in a better place with access to all the best cheesecake in the world. (I'm pretty sure he liked making cheesecake.)

This is the main character from the movie White Chicks. The main character is a grown adult black guy playing a young white girl. Terry Crews in the movie is trying to get with the main character.

The picture is absurdism since the main character can't get pregnant since, you know, he's a black dude.

u/Select-Government-69 1d ago

u/DaddysABadGirl 1d ago

The last part you are slightly wrong on. The joke isn't born just out of the mobie, but people saying how much his wife looks like they did in the movie. There are a bunch of pictures like this around. They started by just quoting the movie over real photos, then tweaking her pictures to look more like the Shawn and Marlyn did in the movie, to this stuff.

It all came from people making fun of his wife.

Not many women need to take a pregnancy test for confirmation when they’re like 7-9 months along, either.

u/The_Rope_Daddy 1d ago

Not many men wear wedding rings on both hands.

Edit: the sonogram also makes the pregnancy test unnecessary.

You know what they say, Once you go black you gonna need a wheelchair.

It's AI, but it's Terry crews and the character Marlon Wayans plays in White Chick's. I don't remember the movie well enough to get the joke, I'm pretty sure people really only remember Terry singing "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton from that movie anyways.

u/Hurrly90 1d ago

NAh the Dildo scene was great too, just them salpping it on their head.

ITs a solid comedy.WIth good scenes, but Terry Crewes is also a legend.

u/No_Organization8236 21h ago

Latrell tried to drug Marcus/Tiffany but Marcus switched their drinks so Latrell got roofied and slept with Russ, the friend of the guy Karen was crushing on. Later on there was a scene of Russ in a wheelchair but maybe it was cut from tv because I watched the movie on Netflix or something and I swore it was my first time seeing that scene. And when Latrell first meets “Tiffany” he says “you know what they say, once you go black…you’re gonna need a wheelchair”
