Comedians and shows/movies that use Racial humor well

[IamtheRock3]

I was looking at the Kramer Thing

And dont think using the N word and stuff alone is by it self bad. Can be funny depends on the context. Granted easier for black comedians to get away with stuff like that, but think other can and have with a little skill


What are some that you can think of


Some I can think of

The TOUGH crowd guys

South Park

George Carlin

Adult swim

The chick Jimmy Kimbel sleeping with

Dave Chappelle

Paul Mooney

Richard Pryor

[Indigo Al]

Sarah Silverman

[Buzz Dixon]

Hollywood Shuffle

[Serik]

Dave Chappelle

South Park

Chris Rock

Richard Pryor

Drawn Together (more for the laugh-out-loud humor than social insight)

I'll also take this opportunity to say that the "mainstream" comedian who does the worst job with racial humor is Carlos Mencia. I can’t wait till his lame-ass show gets canned. Listing off every overdone stereotype about Mexicans isn't funny.

Agreed. Mencia took CHAPPELLE SHOW, removed the humor and added "beaner".

That was my first thought, also.

the family guy

[Bruce Wayne Jr.]

Sacha Baron Cohen.

Almost TOO well!

Blazing Saddles has the best uses of the N-Word ever. The use of the word in that movie really shows the bigotry and stupidity of the people who use it.

Also the old SNL skit with Chevy Chase and guest host Richard Pryor, where Chevy is giving Richard a word association test is one of the funniest things of all time. It starts out normal and slowly decends into racial slurs.

[Superboy Prime]

George Carlin was the one who came to mind.

[Hush Little Batman]

Yes, it was, considering that before he shouted it seven times, he referred back to lynchings, but even if he hadn't, the way he screamed the N-word, with complete rage, is bad in and of itself.

Like IamtheRock3 said, it depends on context. In the context Richards or someone like Mencia uses it it's definatley bad. In some of the examples in this thread, not so much.
