[@calixa]

simply put, i LIVED for this show when I was 10, 11 years old. Jim Carrey was EVERYTHING to me. And Homey, Handyman and the Bum with the pickle juice was unmissable. Such a legendary show. So great with the rap acts at the end too.

He would say that it was always toughest to maintain character whenever Jim was part of this skit, that's why he's not in very many of them. Jim would try extra hard to get Damon to break character 😜

[@EricOWilliam]

Homey a straight gangsta, miss this show....It was always the talk of the day when we go bacc to school the next day!!!!!!

[@ArmyRob13]

YA BOY O what did your dad think about it?

[@sageneodraconus]

I think it would be amazing as hell for In Living Color to do a reunion episode special type thing with all the old cast. Because a lot of them got some real fame after that show. David Allen Grier. Damon Wayans. Jim Carrey. Even JLo used to be a dancer on that show. Have her come back and do a song like SNL has the musical guest. They could do a show with some seriously funny bits, get some killer ratings, and then make a DVD/Blu Ray release of it and make a killing there too. Why don't companies use me for coming up with ideas to make money? Lol. I'm telling you that a one hour special with the old cast of ILC would make them all a shitload of money. The actors as well as whatever studio is smart enough to do it. They could even modernize some of their older bits to help fill out time. Who wouldn't want to see Homey D. Clown as an older dude with even less patience? Lol. Seriously they need to get on that shit

[@joelrivera6020]

That’s why his grammar is poor and can’t spell back.

“Homey maybe a clown. But, he don’t make a fool out of himself.” Straight to the point, Homey! Was this his first appearance?

I think so. But I remember him doing something at a school as a guest for a class.

[@brianwall9592]

[@ryanstauffer119]

I don't know how it came up, but my high school astronomy teacher found out that me and my friends had never heard of Homey D. Clown and so he decided to show us this video. We were all laughing. We were so glad he introduced us to this. I decided to look up the other sketches of this character. I also told my teacher that I found out a video game of Homey was made.😂

Yet more classic comedy from In Living Color! "It's part of my prison work release program!" 😂 Now Homey makes total sense! 🤣 If Damon was ad libbing from breaking character when he smiled and said "Very good...you made Homey smile after all!", it shows his talent, as I'd never have guessed that when first watched this. I think the other cast acting as kids finally broke him, but he made it look like it was genuinely part the sketch, awesome stuff!
