Pootie Tang is a cult classic.

Pootie tang was fantastic. No failure whatsoever…

[@robbyrobot3303]

Yeah, Louie isn't a good editor or director. I'm glad it was taken away from him

[@SimonCarbuncle]

@@robbyrobot3303 He edited directed and starred in his show Louie, which was actually good. Unlike pootie tang, which is idiot entertainment for people that get their meals from the gas station.

[@robbyrobot3303]

@@SimonCarbuncle he had a team of editors and he had a real production team shooting it. Also he had real set designers on Louie. You're correct he did direct it, so I admit he's a good director, but everything he's made since then looks and sounds awful. And pootie tang is still funnier than the FX show even if the fx show was more interesting or artistic

[@TheTobloc]

Sa dah tay

[@nauticalfilmsinc.6289]

Definitely not a failure

[@GravityJWST]

Exactly

[@quiksix25]

When the guy that directed it says it wasn't any good he's probably right- I thought it was unwatchable

I put Pootie Tang in the same category as Freddy got Fingered and Hot Rod. Insanely funny movies that don’t get the credit they deserve.

Pootie Tang is hilarious. I used to watch it on STARZ all the time back in the day.

[@Bigwhoopiedingdong]

How dare you! I’ve seen it at least 20 times and I don’t really do that with movies . I got the belt buckle 8 years after the movie came out I’ve never paid that much before but I had to . 55$ still wear it proudly . I’ve shown it to gang members trying to intimidate me and became friends . Pootie is timeless

I saw this at the theater when I was high school age. Later met college friends who fondly remembered the film and quoted it often as inside jokes. I think it counts as a cult classic.

The failure of Pootie Tang and Lucky Louie were what led him to create the great Louie and (even better imo) Horace & Pete- showed him that he just needs the space to do his own thing

That was back when a couple could afford to take a chance on whatever was showing... If you are taking out a 2nd mortgage to have a night at the theater you make sure you know what you are there to see. I do like the inspiration their experience caused, "I HAVE Got to SEE that."
