Celebrating 'In Living Color'

[@dixierae6063]

Jim Carrey's impersonations were so amazing I can't imagine how good they would have become if that had been his primary form of entertainment. It really is unbelievable how talented he was on the first season of the show. He looked like he had been performing and developing characters for years rather than someone who was completely new in the business.

[@cmw12]

You can really see how Men on Films influenced MadTV’s skit with Aries Spears and Deborah Wilson. (“And we are through!”)

[@etthelost]

Kelly coffield was very underrated. She always put 100 in any skit she was in.

[@montysrealchat]

I always said and felt the same exact way. She was the 1st funniest white comedienne and she never disappoints.

[@darinschlabach492]

David Alan Grier. Why did he never have the fame he deserved? He was great!

[@meechipeachi]

I've enjoyed him and that Jamie Foxx show. Dad stop embarrassing me, think the name is

[@JennaLeigh]

I will never not laugh at the way David Alan Grier says "strunfff". Slays me every time!🤣🤣

[@allanbard6048]

and "sweaty menns".

I watched in living color non stop when I was younger, never missed an episode. Even have the complete DVD set

[@laurendebruijn2325]

my dad was so excited when he found all the seasons on dvd at best buy years ago and was like you need to watch this (I was like 12 or 13) and holy crap am I glad he did. we still say "LEMME SHOW YA SOMETHIN" when the situation calls for it.

[@paulazemeckis7835]

Omg I miss in living color! Please come back.....we need you! Especially Damon! I watched it when I was 30 and now at 60 I want it back! There is no comedy genius in today's world like there was then. Come on....a "In Living Color" remake with original actors....please! Even if it is just one episode!🥵😰😭🤪

[@armandosalinas1326]

[@metromobile1236]

The woman who did the black and white monologue actually did a great job with her voice

[@dixierae6063]

I know you won't see this comment but I was so frustrated that I couldn't remember what her name was. She really was extremely talented. Unfortunately after this show I didn't see her again. She was really one of the underrated Stars.

[@ShamrockParticle]

I'm still trying to figure out how they did the effects. Edited blue screen, but either way it's done extremely well. Respect to the fx team. 🫡

[@Lstead15]

When EVERYTHING DIDN'T OFFEND EVERYONE!!!!! Sigh.....

Thank you so very much for the laughs ! Merry Christmas from New York 🎄🥰

[@americanfreedom1]

Great actors, dancers, show. Kudos to all involved 👏 while it aired. Good times.

[@Fandango541]

Dude! Thanks for this! My all-time favorite TV show. I still can't believe they took the funniest TV show ever off the air. Every one of these actors were so talented! I'm still laughing 🤣

[@JT-kr3dg]

Mr Thigpen, LEMME TELL YA SOMETHIN, thanks for the awesome compilations. The nostalgia is real.

[@mistertibbs6542]

I couldn’t stop laughing. My stomach muscles actually aches. It’s been awhile since this show has been on. I can remember that my stomach muscles (BTW where quite a bit younger then) also ached just as bad. Wife and I loved this show!

[@SuperWittleGuy]

Nice tribute, but ya forgot Fire Marshall Bill! Probably the funniest sketches to this day on ILC.

[@charlesfuentes3695]

OMG, haven't laughed for so long. Especially for Vera...yo Jimmy, bring back your craziest days in a Movie. "That's it! Jim Carrey... The Movie!!!" Don't forget Jamie & the rest of the cast...you guys are always awesome. Thanks for posting.

[@brittbritt6857]

I just love me some Jim Carrey

[@headscrewedonright9030]

I loved this show!! Couldn't show this today unfortunately, too many whiny offended people. Homey the Clown was the best.

[@kendraenglish5167]

I MISS THIS SHOW PUT IT BACK ONNNNN!!!!!!!!

[@hatednyc]

Anton and Men on Film - my two all time favorite skits on the show. I remember going to school Monday morning and imitating the characters all day

[@Heirllionaire]

I can see the influence this show had on mad tv

[@Filmation77]

Kelly Cofield's "1940's Movie Dame" character was underrated. And Jim Carrey's "Activist" sketch predicted Cancel Culture 30 years ago

[@syekbe]

This was a lot funnier just like MadTV! How’s SNL still in the air?!

It's political

Back then, comedy meant something.

Homie don’t play dat! Holy f******hell!! What a trip back to my teens lol.

[@JackBarrett7]

In the Rocky skit, I wonder if the writers knew the irony. Dolph "Ivan Drago" Lundgren got his start in films because he was Grace Jones bodyguard/bf.

[@JackBarrett7]

@Sumeet Mahindroo Is that supposed to mean something?

[@DoubleMonoLR]

@@JackBarrett7 It was his debut, but for a small part.

[@JackBarrett7]

When I was young, I thought Grace Jones was so scary! Seems like she was promoting a fitness program of some sort but she was using her Conan persona. She's like 'you better do it!' One tough cookie!

[@DeezTuck78]

Damon's little hats.. hahahahaha dude I miss these times.

[@jessycruz2465]

Sadly we could never have comedy as good as these anymore because of pc crap.

[@zmbdog]

We could if there was a network that just ignored their whining like their mothers should have done. After all, It's not like the "woke" poseurs can actually _do_ anything about it.

When it comes to early 1990s TV shows, you have 90201 (trash TV) and "In Living Color." ILC (especially the Stewart skits) still make me laugh so vert hard!

[@davidanthony6408]

Back in the day, we did not have all the time-sucking distractions of today, so we reflected on things and had more perspective and creative social insight. Today, most are looking to hack their thoughts and way of living, looking for shortcuts to thinking. Life is best lived being present and detached in the moment with an open mind, available and ready to experience the here and now. I don't see that as much today.

[@randomuser4514]

She said “honey sticks”😂🤣😂😂😂

[@Me-ji2pn]

What a sad world we live in that today that this type of comedy like Men on Film is attacked SJW's make the world boring and no fun

[@danielbrown1724]

MadTV definitely had the better music parodies but In Living Color still rocked!! They basically paved the way for Mad to come and take it a step further.

[@nobody6546]

Thanks ET 👍! At my house, we use to have LIVING COLOR PARTIES! A s with about 20+ Friends. All LC one-liners & Skits became our own Private inside jokes! I still Share , Find & also receive Clips on various Social Media Sites. Unfortunately you do know- IF these Skits were to attempt to Air / be Forwarded & Posted today & last 5-6 years, They’d All be BANNED! And what a loss to Comedy/ Satire it would be! God Bless & again Kudos!

[@Stonebridgellc]

Thanks so much for posting this...! Odd question- the opening notes they used in the Alive II sketch at 34:52... I know I've heard that score before, but I'm mostly certain it's not Darude - Sandstorm. Mostly. Any ideas? Thanks so much!

[@greenrobot5]

Here before the usual "this wouldn't roll in 2019" comments

[@brianbadonde9251]

"everyone is a snowflake nowadays, you couldn't get away with humor like this now,everyone would get offended". Yet they forget there are shows like Always Sunny, Bojack Horseman, Family Guy, South Park, even 2 broke girls that are as offensive if not more than this.

[@Viewsx-tw5sz]
