geraldine and Jim Brown (Flip W)

Geraldine Jones arrives at Jim Brown's door with fried chicken. It's obvious that's not all he'll get- you'll see what.

[@Minatour1]

Flip Wilson was a comedic genius! He has not been given his due credit in the pantheon of comic genius. Way ahead of his time.

What you see is what you get honey , Flip was the funniest comedy act on tv in the early 1970s. My dad had a flip wilson doll with Geraldine on one side and flip on the other. Pull the string and it said ... what you see is what you get honey , whooo!!!

What makes this a "drag queen" impression.?

[@Omega1st]

@@anotherpointofview222 A good question that Kwame Aboagye cannot answer.

[@anotherpointofview222]

@@Omega1st I just looked it up. Didn't think to before. I grew up watching Flip, but never knew what drag queen was at the time. Hearing the terminology of course since then, I couldn't reconcile it in my mind. By definition looks like that's exactly what he was doing, but not what I picture "drag queens" to be today. noun A man, especially a performer, who dresses as a woman.A male who dresses up in women's clothing, typically for public performance. The man's clothing and makeup are typically greatly exaggerated, so the end result is typically a parody of women in general." en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_queen

[@IDONTLIKETHATSHIT]

I know this response is to a 2 year old comment, but I think that Mr Wilson would have killed this female persona Geraldine if he knew that some 50 plus years later black men in particular would still dress like women in front of a camera. At this point its an old, tired joke that makes black men look weak. They don't owe anything for a legacy of demonstrative behavior.
