I’m white and I don’t vandalize people’s cars because I’m pretty darn sure I’d get arrested if I did. What in tarnation does skin color have to do with it?

A couple days ago, something sparked my memory and I recalled the two lines: "I'm still a virgin and I'm 33, even Madonna won't have sex with me." Couldn't remember where I'd heard it. So I typed those words into Google, not sure it would come up with anything at all -- and voila! This video popped up. OF COURSE! It all came back to me -- after 30 years. Another demonstration of In Living Color's lasting legacy.

[@Ryan_Christopher]

So much of In Living Color was never seen by us because no Tivo and we needed to set VCRs to record them at the time. Meaning if we had cable TV in the first place, none of our parents or elders were not sitting down to watch something else back then.

Most remakes/reboots absolutely suck and are lazy cash-grabs. Do you really want them to bring this back just to be a bastardized version of a classic? Also, the landscape of comedy has changed and you just can’t get away with being as edgy as this show needs to be to have what people loved about it.

I was in my final year of elementary school when this skit came out. My friends & I all watched "In living color" so I knew come Monday we would all be talking about it at school. 😄 We all equally loved when 'Michael' was pushed by the car window & then proceeded to mess up a car. 😂 Our favorite character on ILC was 'Homey the Clown'. We would take my Dad's socks, fill them with rabdom stuff, & hit each other with them. 😆 Good clean Gen-X fun. Seriously...that was the safe stuff; when not doing that we were gone for HOURS doing who the hell knows, (I mean I KNOW & if I let my kid do that now I would have CPS called on me).

[@sirrichardn.rockfire789]

Simply EPIC! Back when real entertainment was actually FUN! I remember that "MJ" laughed about this and said it was really funny and a very good impersonation of him, which everyone agreed. Anyway, you can't have honesty and a free world without the "just and free gesture" of artistic expression that is meant to be funny, scary, and/or provocative in an exaggerated manner, which is best known as: "The Entertainment of Creative Imagination!" Some call it poetry. Others call it art. Yet no matter what one calls it, it's simply one's natural-born-humanity-with the "FREEDOM" to be creative. Hopefully we do not forget the whole reason we are gifted and are supposed be "intelligent enough" to use our gifts "freely" and the rest understand that it is simply an "artistic act" and not a political, racial, or religious statement... It's just poetic art and entertainment for "most intelligent souls that would rather be HAPPY TO LOVE THE WORLD FREELY-than be angry and oppressed by pointing fingures at others and living in constant hate." What real joy or true reward could ever come from any of that in the end but lost souls in confusion, separation, and a saddened loneliness? I say, "LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST WHILE WE CAN!" And, "ROCK ON!" ❤🤠✌
