To Great Gentlemen: This was REAL comedy! Love Mantan Moreland and have watched, bought and memorized his movies. Nipsey too and good ol Ben Carter! Those were comedians in the truest form. God bless you Guys. I know you are all in Heaven.

[@JohnMurphyabc]

[@Junkay2]

This is what you call brilliant comedy.

[@parrot0051]

*HA HA HA !!!* *THEY READ EACH OTHER'S MINDS !!!* *AWESOME !!!*

[@chozenknight260]

This is the first time I saw a Young Nipsey. Everything I ever seen him in he was at least 60.

[@PlanetRockJesus]

Me, too. On The Match Game! What did I know? I was just a kid when I watched that show. Nipsey was always so cool.

[@Daisnap]

Charming! Such perfection in timing and delivery while making it all look spontaneous is real art. I loved watching Nipsey on TV reciting his clever poems years ago, and delight in Mantan’s movies and hilarious - really hilarious - party album excerpts here on KZbin. I highly recommend them: Very naughty and laugh-so-hard-you-cry funny. Geniuses!

[@philosopher1a]

Classic, Clean , Intelligent and very funny!! My how far we have fallen...

[@BCoriginal1]

As a black comic myself I Refuse to speak negatively about those who came before me. Thank you Mantan for helping to pave the way for all of us entertainers.

[@EliezerPennywhistler]

No one asked you to.

[@virg0_lem0nade]

wow, i'm seeing this for the first time in 2019 and laughing! amazing how this skit still holds up 64 years later!!

[@craigdavis4265]

R.I.P Nipsey Russell& Mantan Moreland!!!

[@JazzMaestra]

It is so good to be from Atlanta, Georgia--you are literally related by blood or marriage to everyone native to the city; and Nipsey Russell is one of them!! An amazing comic and poet!!

[@PlanetRockJesus]

Awesome. I only knew him from The Match Game, which I watched a lot in my youth and early 20's (I'm now 64). Tonight I decided to dig in further on this man, and I'm so pleased to see his awesome performances. What a talent.

[@JohnMurphyabc]

Brilliant comedy.. Awesome timing.. :)

[@vinyltapelover]

I've seen this skit, several times before, and it never gets old. For some reason it reminds me of two seasoned dancers, who know each other's moves and are individually wonderful to watch.

[@rogergill6422]

I love this

[@francesjolly5106]

I had no idea♡ what talent, so incredibly special♡♡♡♡♡♡◇◇◇◇

[@Themaddprof]

Aside with preserving a classic routine, what I love about this is that this sit features both the old school of comedy (Mantan) with a younger and hipper representative of the next generation of comedians (Nipsey Russell). Mantan performed in the Rabbit Foot Minstrels in the 1920s around the time of Bert Williams, the father of black comedy. Nipsey one did a video with Chris Rock in his latter years.

[@PlanetRockJesus]

Great post. I love the history of entertainment.

[@melaninawakening9350]

I'm so use to seeing him as the Tinman

[@tertommy]

Monty Python-esque. Brilliant.

[@The4Wuz]

i want to set up a convo with someone like that in public... just to mess with peoples heads

[@vinyltapelover]

If it doesn't, it still would be great fun, in an homage to them, to do it.

[@13thcentury]

4 people are fans of Carrot Top !!!!

[@truscorpion]

for shure!!!

[@robertgaraboncias8852]

Simpler times.

[@NatandGeorge]

sixty years later & "nipsy russel" is still being referred to -- as a synonym for "very black" by various comics who, I'd guess, count Nipsdy as a key influence. . .

[@stayoncodetexastexas5684]

Nipsey Russell - Nipsey Hussle

[@The1Tree2]

So true Lashid4u!

[@LeviUlysses-mp5wg]

Too bad Nipsey Hustle had to steal this doods name and sell a bunch of drugs w it. 😩

[@kariwattsup]

I grew up watching this on t.v. Filtered to the general public again in the seventies. Is it part of "the plan" to keep "us" distracted from wuts really goin on? Hmmm....
