BRIT DADS REACT to In Living Color FIRST TIME WATCHING Men on Football

[@JohnPaul-hm2ys]

The Men On bits were some of the funniest things on show.

[@BritPopsReact]

@JohnPaul-hm2ys Hello to you. We have no idea what "The Men on Bits" is all about, we if you recommend it, we should give it a try. Cheers

[@the_Real_Grammy_of_6]

The Men on Film, Football etc. were my favorite skits on the show

[@jaynahoffacker2557]

I grew up watching In Living Color. Jim Carrey was also a cast member and his Fire Marshall Bill character is hysterical.

[@jkgannon1049]

My fave Jim Carrey character was Vera de Milo, especially the 'Veracosa: Mistress of Destruction' skit. Other In Living Color faves you should check out: Homey D. Clown and Jamie Foxx as Wanda Wayne. It was a great show!

[@heidifedor]

This aired during the Super Bowl halftime show on a competing network in 1992.

[@augustcanyon3438]

Every "Men on.." skit is great. The gay bars used to be packed when they came on and people had a grand time laughing at all the jokes; no gay person was ever offended by these two and many still watch these clips repeatedly.

[@michellehawkins811]

Yes!!! This was a show I watched growing up. I desperately wanted to be a “fly girl”. In case you don’t know…that’s the dancers at the beginning of the show. This is classic!!

[@BritPopsReact]

@michellehawkins811 Thank you for the comment and we have no idea who the "Fly Girl" are yet, we have not watched a full episode. Would that be one lady named J.LO? Cheers

[@michellehawkins811]

@@BritPopsReact Why yes, JLo was actually one of the Fly Girls 😀

[@joeblow8206]

She can't dance, sing or act

[@emichels]

Fun fact: This aired live during the Super Bowl halftime. Most people watching the game turned to Fox to watch this and that's why we have the super big super bowl halftime show. It was thanks to this very bit. This aired in 1992.

[@jenniferworley7115]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 Forgot how funny they were in these "Men on ...skits" Still just as funny today, imo, as they were originally. Thanks for the laughs guys, I needed that. Great request Anjoleee. Peace y'all ✌

[@BritPopsReact]

@jenniferworley7115 We had no idea it even existed. Very funny and very naughty for the time. It did make us two laugh

[@Hawk-ODA212]

The video was funny enough but your reactions were priceless. Those guys were masterfully walking the fine line between comedy and censorship. And as you mentioned, that was done quite some time ago. Thanks for the entertaining as always reaction guys.- Hawk

[@BritPopsReact]

@Hawk-ODA212 We totally missed "In Living Color" when it was out, but anything the Wayans brothers do always seems to be very funny. We also had no idea where this was going but it was very funny Cheers Hawk

[@christined6321]

😂😂😂😂they were the main reason I watched “ In living color”.

[@BritPopsReact]

@christined6321 We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into, but it was very funny and we could relate to the humour and the football topic well. Cheers

[@UTubeHandlesSuck]

_Men on Football_ was live during the Super Bowl. Some poor censor was a wreck... 🤣

[@chriso6719]

Early 90's. The Buffalo/Washington superbowl they mentioned , was played January 1992.

[@lynnify6]

In Living Color was a halirious show to watch and just enjoyable to watch. Damon Wayans and Favid Allen Grier made the Men on skits crazy funny😊😂❤

[@rachellevel8982]

Hi guys! Always loved this show when I was younger! Hilarious. I’ll see your faces on Sunday!

[@MRBrien77]

I'm dying laughing

[@BritPopsReact]

@MRBrien77 😂😂 it got us two Brits giggling too

[@MRBrien77]

@@BritPopsReact probably the best skits with Fire Marshal Bill a close second with Jim Carey

[@DebraHarter-uy3xy]

I loved the Wayans Bros.! Jim Carey became known on that show!

[@heidifedor]

Former New York Jets Quarterback, Joe Namath appeared in a pantyhouse commercial in the 1970’s where he said, “If they make my legs look this good, see what they can do for you.”

[@BritPopsReact]

@heidifedor I must admit, I missed the commercial, but if Joe said that, I may give it a try 😂

[@pamegan8735]

This is hilarious 😂

[@BritPopsReact]

@pamegan8735 We have only just discovered "In Living Color" and the video we have done have been very funny. We will return for more soon

[@curtyeomans8446]

You guys need to react to one or some of In Living Color’s Homey The Clown skits

[@Antoine360]

Good reaction lol. There are more men on film skits you both should react to those too!

[@Sara_Kane]

I only discovered the awesome comedy greatness of ILC around 3 years ago, and the Men On series of skits featuring Damon Wayans and David Alan Grier is really one of the show's crown jewels, they are wonderfully outrageous and hilarious! :) Your great reaction was laughter inducing in and of itself, and it made watching this classic skit even more fun. 😊Would love to see you reacting to some more of the Men On series, and other classic ILC skits. Subscribed! 👍🏻

[@DonaldHolben]

They got in trouble for the gerbil joke lol :)

[@Sara_Kane]

Yep it was, and the Carl Lewis one too. lol :) Both of those jokes were edited out of future repeats.

[@easttexan8168]

You guys should check out the Chappelle's Show episode about Rick James. It's one of the most hilarious skits I've ever seen, and it's based on actual events.

[@firefighterchick]

This was done live and I'm sure that the TV censor people were having a stroke.😮😅 In today's world, this wouldn't have even been tabled as an idea.😂 Overall it's not the best one of the series in my opinion. The fun factor would have been watching the reaction of the censor police as they watched it.😁

[@BritPopsReact]

@firefighterchick. You are totally correct, it would not get tabled now and the censors must have hated it. See you later

[@gbulmer]

Yes, I'm reasonably confident I saw much funnier sketches on "In Living Color". Was it _really_ near censorship? I was a teenager in the 70s. Innuendo was already pretty 'old' by then from earlier TV series (eg Frankie Howerd in "Up Pompeii!"), gay comedian Larry Greyson ("Shut That Door!"), drag-act Danny La Rue, radio series featuring Kenneth Williams (eg "Round the Horne") and British film franchise "Carry on ...". By the 1990s, UK comedy was parodying, or 'paying hommage' to, 60s/70s comedy. For example, _The Understanding Barman - A Bit of Fry and Laurie - BBC_ kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2nOoGWkeNCSnqc is a 90s reference to 1976 _The Two Ronnies - Four Candles_ kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnTQkn-drbF3e5I which is brilliant word play. If you haven't seen either, I strongly recommend watching both, with The Two Ronnies "Four Candles" first. So, 1990s gay-innuendo sketches seem several decades late to my comedy sensibilities. Best Wishes. ☮ It is a sad state when mostly-inoffensive 20th century comedy is believed to be impossible today. There was some dreadful racist, misogynistic, anti-'alternatives' comedy in the 20th century which is only good as historical records for how awful societies were for some people. But when we can't laugh at ourselves, we are losing perspective. There are subjects which need examining, and comedy is a powerful sociological microscope. To be fair, I've always found US audience reaction much more dramatic (unrealistically exaggerated?), compared to UK audiences. I have never understood why US audiences seem to "loose their sh!t" over sexual innuendo. For example, there is a UK sitcom from the '70s called "Are you being served?" aired in the USA. My chum Tonni finds Mrs Slocombe's innuendo-laden references to "her pussy" drop-dead-funny every time. They're funny the first few series, but not forever.

[@dennisfleming5625]

I loved watching you guy's reaction. There are many gay bars around the US that still play clips from Men On....(Football, Film, Movies etc..... We can still laugh at our stereotypes!

Hey British dads Can you react to the best of Niles and CC The Nanny part 7

[@BritPopsReact]

@tommysaroda4446 Hell and thank you for the comment. We have no idea what that is but we will check it out. All the best

[@tommysaroda4446]

@BritPopsReact it's a very funny comedy that was aired in the 90s. This is just a compilation of scenes in the Nanny between Niles (who character is a British butler, but he's not a real British but that his role to talk like he is British and while Miss CC Babcock is the older blonde woman who wants to get frisky with Mr.Maxwell Shiefield who really speaks British English. Niles The butler and CC Babcock can't stand each other, lol. If you do find the Nanny Funny, I can and will suggest more episodes or compilation scenes of the Nanny for you guys soon

pls do mrs. brown's boys and ab fab

[@BritPopsReact]

@lesaahrenstein6360 Hello and thank you for the comment., We really only do American and other comedy as we know both of your suggestions too well. We could not really do a reaction to something we have both grown up with.

[@tundiel]

I think I'm in the minority because my funny bone remained untickled... which is odd because I normally love stuff like this. Ah well. Just call me Mrs Grump 😂

[@gbulmer]

I thought there were a few jokes, but not as many as I'd expected. I think I got 'Living Color' on cable in the 90s, and I thought it was much funnier, more jokes/minute. Not as witty or subversive as someone like Julian Clary, or Kenneth Williams a generation earlier. Oh, well, we can't win 'em all! 🤔 Best Wishes. ☮

[@BritPopsReact]

@gbulmer We are only just getting to watch some of these old skits, maybe some of the other ones will have more. You did well watching this back in the 90's Hope you are well G-Man

[@BritPopsReact]

@tundiel You know what you like and that is good enough for us. See you soon Mrs Grump

[@gbulmer]

​@@BritPopsReact ​ @BritPopsReact I remember Jim Carrey, the Wayans brothers, and Jamie Foxx. But not many episodes. I distinctly remember Jamie Foxx's "Wanda" character, but who could forget her? 🤔 I lived in an area covered by "Coventry Cable" ① (eventually bought by Virgin Media). It was one of the first cable companies in the UK. So it might have been that. However, it is possible I saw "In Living Colour" on US TV. I probably averaged a month or so each year in the USA during the 90s, divided between work and holidays. During my work visits I'd watch a sadly large amount of cable/satellite TV in the hotel, especially at weekends. That might explain why I only remember a few episodes. My recollections are "In Living Colour" sketches were hit or miss for me. Sometimes very funny, and sometimes exactly-not. Best Wishes, Chaps. ☮ G-Man 😎 ① "Coventry Cable" started with quite a lot of 'fanfare' in the late '80s. It was an early test-stage of a national plan to 'cable-up' the UK (but satellite TV happened). A couple of friends got it fairly early, but I took a couple of years to crack. We'd go to their houses and binge on MTV and US TV shows. One of the biggest attractions of ""Coventry Cable" for me was "The Simpsons". Long ramble follows: _I first saw "The Simpsons" on TV in a hotel bar in MA on a business trip. It was after work, I was meeting a guy called Mike from CAD company "Computer Vision". "The Simpsons" episode included the brilliant "Let me help you dry those tears" scene ②. It was the funniest US sitcom I'd ever seen. I asked Mike what it was, and he told me. He said it had started as part of the Tracey Ullman show ③. I told my be-cabled friends about "The Simpsons", and it was on Coventry Cable (on Sky)! So it became a weekly event to watch at their places. That caused me to eventually get cable too._ ② "The Simpsons" episode I saw must have been a repeat, because (I've just checked), it was Series 1 Episode 5, which was originally broadcast in 1989, but my first trip to the USA was summer 1990. ③ I remembered Tracey Ullman from sketch comedy series and a sitcom, and vaguely remembered she'd gone to the USA to work. Wikipedia: _Her earliest mainstream appearances were on British television sketch comedy shows "A Kick Up the Eighties" (with Rik Mayall and Miriam Margolyes) and "Three of a Kind" (with Lenny Henry and David Copperfield). ...., she appeared as Candice Valentine in "Girls on Top" with Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders [and Ruby Wax]._
