In Living Color - BOLT 45 COMMERCIAL!!! (VERY RARE - Shown On Broadcast TV Only Once!)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- On the May 5, 1990 broadcast, Keenen Ivory Wayans did a take-off on a Billy Dee Williams "Colt 45" commercial (in which the purpose of the beverage is to get your lady friend wasted) that ended with a woman (played by Kim Coles) passed out on her back on a dining table, and "Billy Dee" moving in on her unconscious body to have sex with her.
THE "COLT 45" SKETCH WAS SEEN ONLY ONCE DURING THE ORIGINAL BROADCAST. The sketch was omitted from repeats because some felt it was MAKING LIGHT OF DATE RAPE.
The Season 1 DVD set of In Living Color, did not include the "cut" sketch from the pilot. THIS SKIT WAS CUT BY FOX CENSORS, and the necessary modifications were made to the master tape. But Keenen "accidentally" mixed up the masters, and the original master was broadcast.
THAT SEGMENT HAS NEVER BEEN BROADCAST SINCE, NOT EVEN IN SYNDICATION, ON FX OR BET!
It has been replaced by "The Exxxon Family" (a fake promo for a sitcom about a clumsy Exxon boat captain) in syndication and DVD box sets.~ Wikipedia
(But fortunately, UncleBernie2 video taped this episode of "In Living Color" the day the original "Bolt 45" sketch was broadcast and saved it for many years just for your entertainment pleasure. SO ENJOY!!!!)
In Living Color = fun childhood.
"What were you expecting Whitney Houston?"
That line takes on whole new meaning in this day and age.
Lmao
He said that line and my brain said “actually, I thought that was her”
@@michaelbobe2001 so g00d
It didn't age well.
As a 10 yr old when this came out, I always wonder why they never showed it again as a rerun LMAO......classic skit!!
💯💯💯💯🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was over the date-rape scene at the end.
I remember this episode like it was yesterday. Dad was laughing mom was not.
Maybe he gave her a couple cans of Bolt45 and that’s how you were born?! 🤣😃😂😄😅😄😁🤣
Juuuust kidding.... 🤔
And what about you?
I cried
Great story yo
Too bad it only aired once Keenan didn't want to air this
To this day when I give my best friend any drink she says “excuse me! I am a lady could I please have a paper bag and a straw!” Gets me every time. 😆
A lot of people totally missed the point of the skit. It was mocking the commercial that was implying that if you use Colt 45 you will definitely get lucky..."it works every time". It is not saying that date rape is ok or funny. It is making fun of a product that is implying that its use will get a girl drunk enough to have sex with a guy. The skit is commentary on a real ad campaign and how messed up its message was.
YES!!! That was the point! But damn! No way a skit like this would air today.
numobudo I didn't really think of all of that, That was a little bit over my head I was just worried about whether or not he was going to score at all
@numobudo Exactly right. It's pointing out (rightly) how creepy and rapey the original Colt 45 commercials were, if you think about it.
Lizzy Bennet I’ve never seen the original commercial or this one, but now I get why Keenan said I was never seen in reruns. It was one of those “had to be there” skits
@@TuneStunnaMusic the original is billu d williams colt 45 commercial if you still care to see it
FOX had the nerve to ban this? And this didn't even make it on the DVD set? That bites big time. Thank goodness we have RUclips.
The stuff that Family Guy gets away with makes this skit seem tame.
Fox also banned episodes of Titus tv show
Fox aired this sketch only time because Keenen accidentally mixed up the masters, and then they destroyed it. It never reaired since, not even in rerun syndication
@@TracyGJacksonTV "Accidentally .. uh, huh .. sure."
@@rgrinnel well they did, and after that the sketch never aired again
LOL David Alan Grier as the butler... his facial expressions had me dying!
"Would monseiur like to sniff ze plastic flutes?"
LMAO Grier also serves as the announcer too. XD
@@SinewRending loops.
He had The billy D voice down pat😭😂
*Billy* , not Billie.
Wow, nice find here. It was said that this sketch was lost forever. Surprised it still exists.
Lost forever means that it's no longer in the archives of Fox. However anyone with a VHS recorder in the year 1990 may have it somewhere in their house. I have one.
VHS Tapes.. And the Tape looks like it was recorded in a high quality VCR for the time.
Thank God for the 80s babies and VCRs
Comedy Hype brought me here lol
Me too, poor choice of words 😆
He’s like a black Quagmire from Family Guy.
Me three. I've never heard of this skit before Comedy Hype.
Same just now
Me to!
Oh man, Keenen fucking nailed his Billy Dee Williams right there. Absolute classic!
They're both from Harlem
This is proof there's a God because this is the only place you're gonna find this clip, the man that uploaded this just so happened to record this and this wasn't supposed to air at all..
And they destroyed the clip..
Dude Ion even watch tv. I tell people I watch RUclips and RUclips Tv.
@ Alik Bey, Why are you putting GOD into this, it's not GOD's will to put out a video indicating DATE RAPE, call it anything but GODLY!!! It was banned for a good reason so please don't reply back to me trying to justify this video!!!
Don't worry youtube will remove it very soon. It got viral exposure again. You better download it. haha
@@thedarksideoftheforce6658 I don't know how to take your comment, lol!!!
@@LaVonne_208 its called "sarcasm"..
I'll take sketches that will offend people 25 years later for 1,000, Alex
Now up to 35 people offended.
EXACTLY
To be fair, it offended people even back then, which is why it was cut and replaced with a sitcom sketch about a clumsy oil tank driver (Jim Carrey) making a mess in the kitchen.
Lol
@@canaisyoung3601 if it was cut how did I see it on the show 30 years ago?
Dude you are a legend.....thanks for this piece of history.
Damn, this show gave SNL a run for it's money, I hate Fox T.V. for not working with the Wayan's family too maintain excellent quality.
Add MADTv sometimes!
Whenever my man tries to hand me a can of Colt 45, I remind him that I am A LADY...I NEEDS a paper bag AND straw. Yes, it works every time! 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Props to you, Uncle Bernie, for taping this. lol
AMEN
Good Lord, this was hardcore! Even the era it was set in couldn't handle it!
little did Keenan know, this is Exactly what Whitney Houston turned into a few yrs later lol
From classy to trashy!
She was even worse at that time also.
It just wasn't in public yet
Quite a few years ago, Keenen said in an interview that this spot was cut from the show by S&P (the censors) prior to broadcast (the leg throw while passed out drunk was considered too blatant and obviously non-consensual), and a new tape was made with a replacement spot. Apparently, since both tapes were labeled identically (tape number, date of broadcast, etc.) the wrong tape was delivered and aired for the East Coast feed. They (Fox) caught the mistake and retrieved the correct tape, so the West Coast audiences never saw this spot. So Fox never considered this to be part of the episode, since it was never supposed to air. And this was indeed the very first episode of ILC.
+David Bunch According to the episode guide, this was the third episode of season 1
David Bunch
I saw the clip live and never ever forgot it in my head!! Lol
I have the original on vhs
I am on the west coast and I saw it when it aired, then never saw it again, until now.
Fox accidentally aired this skit and thank goodness I recorded it and still have the tape.
The way he threw her leg around is hilarious!
Kim Coles was a fox back in the day.
What the sketch was really doing was casting spotlight on the implications of the original Colt 45 commercial.
Thank you for the video. Keep up the good work.
The Bolt 45 sketch aired one time on May 5,1990. Shortly after FOX Broadcasting destroyed the master tape and the Bolt 45 sketch was cut and never shown again in repeats or off network syndication and it wasn’t included in the First Season DVD Box Set due to the fact that the sketch implied date rape
The 1993 cartoon did something like this with rocko's modern Life
This is actually the VERY first In Living Color skit I EVER saw!! Thank you so much for posting this. Classic! LOL
Funniest TV comedy skit of all-time. Just ridiculous!!! LOL!!! I love it. Billy Dee Williams was already a legend - if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - then THIS skit made Billy Dee *untouchable*!
I've always wanted to see this skit and can't believe it's up on RUclips. Thanks very much for doing so.
I went out of my way to see this here because a vid from "Comedy Hype" told me about how it had been blocked back in the day. Censors should know the more you ban, block, restrict, censor *or* forbid something, the more it *will* be sought and had.
And the world thanks Uncle Bernie for his efforts, you video tape historian! :-D
Billy D. Williams = William D. Williams!
Sounds like his parents was on that beer too, when he was born!
Also, his real middle name is December. As in the last month of the year.
@@KRAWofficial And all of this time, I thought the D stood for Dosanoki. My bad..(I'm so drunk right now)
They should’ve got Jamie Foxx to do his Ray Charles impersonation with him saying “You got the right one baby! Uh-huh!”🤣🤣🤣
Now that's a beer commercial, Budweiser can learn something from this.
I can not BELIEVE you have this clip!!! I remember watching it and noticing how the camera comes in closer when he opens her legs....LOL AWESOME POST!
He was mocking Billy Dee Williams, not Bill Cosby. Billy Dee advertised for Colt 45.
Of course he wasn't mocking Bill Cosby as this show was aired many years before the Cosby scandal came to light. The references to Cosby are obviously due to the character's similarity to Cosby's apparent penchant for taking advantage of women.
Fuck Phil Cosby! He's bubba's butt buddy now...lmao!!
It was a satire of Bill Dee, but I'm not so sure you could get away with that nowdays.
Exactly. It was Billy Dee.
This sketch had nothing to do with Bill Cosby.
Are you the guy that always says the obvious?
Uncle Bernie you're THE man. I've never even heard of this skit
Bill Cosbys favorite commercial
Wonder what he put in those Jello Pudding Pops.
I remember this!!!!!! When I was in High school we had a student debate about whether it was date rape and I remember even some of the girls thought it wasn't rape because she appeared to be a "alcoholic loose skeezer" This episode was funny and thought provoking!
I remember seeing that skit and what i got from it is he was simply poking fun and Billy Dee Williams Colt 45 commercials because BDW was sending a subliminal message of Him + Colt 45 = sex with women, but in living color being the show that it is, KIW just made more blatant
*it*

HAHAHAHAHA Now THAT was pretty damn funny! Nicely done my friend, nicely done!
And aired on FOX News.
funded by harvey weinstein.
funded by Morgan Spurlock, Jeremy Piven and James Franco.
There'll never be anything like this show ever again!
They tried with MADtv, but that show was, according to Phil LaMarr, a diet version of Saturday Night Live.
I mean, "Chappelle's Show" was as awesome, at least.
You can do what you want In Living Color
ComedyHype brought me here. 💪🏾💪🏾
😭😭😂😂 me too
On my momma
Same🖐🏽
Here because of comedy hype 2021
it's 2023 I am surprised this skit has not been deleted from You Tube yet?
Worldstar brought me here..
When society could laugh at itself.
Things PC Culture tried to Cancel back in the 1990s: NWA, 2Pac and the rest of Gangsta Rap, Luke and The 2 Live Crew, Andrew Dice Clay, Louis Farrakhan, Sinead O' Conner, Arsenio Hall, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cartoons, The Power Rangers, Mortal Kombat (The Game), Doom(The Game), Marilyn Manson, Eminem, Boxing, MMA fighting, Lil Kim, Pro Wrestling, Jerry Springer, The Simpsons you believe it or not, Family Guy, and ect.. Small list my a--! I was there and grew up in it.. I will never sugar coat an era because I grew up in it.. Cancel Culture was growing fast back then.. The difference then it wasn't no social media back then and I'm pretty sure if it was back in the 1990s Karens and White Knights would be displaying their displeasure about what they see and hear on TV and what they hear on Radio.. People need to stop acting like Cancel Culture wasn't around back then..
@@kenrickkahn You're confusing criticism and cancel culture.
Chill out bruh.
They left out the real tag, used in the real commercials - "Works every time"!!
I'm glad you posted this rare clip. I just saw the banned Men on Fitness skit that also was banned and removed. It's too bad they had to cut out a lot of skits from the DVDs because of music licenses. They should really put an uncut set on the Internet to get around this. "In Living Color" is right up there with SNL even though lasted 5 years. Most of the cast on ILC became stars and directors.
🤣🤣🤣 Keenan a genius! So brilliant man, and this sketch is no different lol
You wouldn't get the joke if you want there.it looks like a tasteless rape joke at first sight.but it was an attack on the beer industry that was targeting inner city youth by selling the cheap liquor in large amounts "40's" causing violence and degradation.
Well that (too) and making light of Suave-Classy Billy D doing such a commercial for Malt Liquor.
I mean yeah they were targeting youth but that's not a bad thing it's just marketing. The joke isn't an attack but a comedic take on the whole "It works everytime" tag line...which is ridiculous, because the only way it would work every time is if there was some form of force or deception involved, definitely not an attack about causing violence and degradation...
what is your avatar from?
root toor
"I mean yeah they were targeting youth but that's not a bad thing.."
You don't think targeting youth to consume alcoholic beverages is not a bad thing? I guess parenting, or education, or both have failed you.
Ronald Rollins Yep, and a lot of feminists know this too. They just won't admit it.
Can you imagine all the Triggered people that would go crazy today if this aired?
The me too clowns and cancel culture woke sjws would be melting down with their purple hair pulled out and chugging soy lattes. And fox would be frantically issuing the usual boiler plate apology while hashtags and boycotts are formed.
Their brains would literally explode.
There is not one part of In Living Color that wouldn't rub today's people wrong -- funny is not allowed. Handy Man, Homey the Clown, Fire Marshall Bill, the "female" bodybuilder played by Jim Carey...ALL CLASSICS that would simply not be allowed on tv today.
@@ddsmitty1 sure they would as long as the ones doing it are all leftists.
kim coles character came thru on her chicken head shit tho lmao!!!
That Whitney Houston joke didn’t age well. 😂😂😂
@John Mateus 😂😂😂
Or it aged extremely well, depending on your point of view!
Wayans said it was a Fox network employee who used the wrong master that resulting in this going to air (once), and that person was "almost fired for it."
Your fucking awesome for recording this and posting this. Ha ha. Funny as hell.
His straddling her on that table wouldn't work today.
None of this sketch would.
Epic! I was there! I witnessed this live on Fox, in 1990.... Also, I had recorded it on a VHS tape back then....
Comedy hype brought me here.
Thank you for posting the great days
I did not know it was shown once on tv and not in the box set of the show. I learn something every day. Many thanks You Tube.
Mad props to you Unc!!!
In living color was a great show. This skit was funny as hell. Mocking Billy's Colt 45 malt liquor commercials.
This was EPIC!
Props for uploading a banned sketch from this show!!! Hilarious & edgy...
Thew good old days, not when you can rape obviously, but when you were still free to joke about difficult social issues. Joking relieves tension, it doesnt endorse the behavior its parodying.
A sketch like this was not acceptable back then either. That's why it was banned and only aired once accidentally.
To have that many funny people in a show was insane. The Earth almost imploded because it couldn't handle the raw humor coming out of those people.
Glad they got it here this episode aired only once because of him opening her legs
Nice post! For those who don't know, this skit was banned and was accidentally aired on the show. ALL copies of it had been destroyed. Some executives almost lost their jobs over this skit.
In Living Color was funny until Fox got greedy.
Broooo they would be super cancelled if that aired now a day's lmao 😆😆😆
Well, ummm, yeah. You're absolutely right about that. Such shows like "Saturday Night Live" would just outright find themselves in hot water if they were to allow something like that to be aired on television these days. And besides, we REALLY are living in much more different times where one huge offensive joke can get anyone in trouble, so to speak.
Comedy Hype brought me here. I remember watching on Fox, and thinking why it never reappeared.
Actually, it was never supposed to air on TV at all, the TV network ordered it pulled due to the d@t3 r@p3 scene. However, the person loading the version to play put in the wrong version, the cut that still had this scene in it rather than the one that didn't.
I LOVE YOU UNCLE BERNIE!!! So glad you had the original tape all these years. My mom, brothers and i adored the two minutes sketch.
I remember when it aired - thanks to Comedy hype for the memory jarring
Yea social issues are a lot more touchy than they were back then but it's still hilarious for its time
Still funny regardless of time considering what they were spoofing. The media does a great job of pushing people towards where they want them to go...Just read a review of the movie Get Hard by a gay dude where he bashed the movie for making gay sex sound bad. I was fully hoping to hop through my internet like lawnmower man so I could slap him after finishing his review.
THE WAYNE BROTHER PLAY SO WELL ON THIS IMAGINATION OF BILLY DEE WILLIAMS
A lot of the skits on In Living Color would never make it today.
Comedy Hype brought me here.
Funny stuff for and at the time. The problem with this isn't even about sensibilities of today. It's had to get this joke when it's original reference is so many years from now. At the time being a Colt 45 parody was relevant being that the Colt 45 commercials were still very fresh in the target audience's mind and still part of it's memory. I think at the time this aired Colt 45 commercials were pretty much not running anymore, if they were they weren't seen as much as before. The thing that has me going is the fact that it still sells. Colt 45, that is.
But dig: what were men & women doing with alcohol ANYWAY? GETTING IN THE MOOD!
It was associated with sex a lot. Wine, beer, "Strawberries & Hennessy", "Crown Royal on ice"...whatever. What, are they mad because the truth came out? Personally I always thought it was weak if you had to get a woman "in the mood"="under the influence" just to get her naked, but that's what went on before I was here & it still goes on.
That's crazy how this guy recorded and it saved it all these years!! Hea the only one with the tape. Well not now. But you know what I mean
Life imitates ART ........
This show didn't just give SNL a run for its money, it lapped around it twice on the track.
LOLOL. The way he whipped her leg back had me in tears
Lol me too
The day this aired on tv my mom covered my eyes and I missed it. I was seven years old so this is the first time I'm seeing it.
Oh when exactly she covered your eyes? When he lifts her up? Or even earlier in the skit ?
@@liftcarryfetish1296 basically when he lifted her up lol
@@Justanothergamerboi hehe. Mom knew he is gonna hanky panky with her
@@liftcarryfetish1296 yeah, after all these years I got to say I'm not impressed 🤣
@@Justanothergamerboi it so manly and dominating. it was wrong though.
Fox Television of the late 80s-early 90s gave zero fks
downloading this before they take this off in a day.

@RCKChich
That is the sad thing, Family Guy makes fun of a bunch of things Aids,Cancer, National Tragedies ETC. and there is no joke to it, no message just "Lol you have aids!" and such.
DemomanX614 exactly but that show has been on for years
Nobody bats an eye when family guy does it on fox of all stations. But couple blacks do it and omg they're advocating date rape
@@mmabuff101 Family Guy got away with a lot things and Fox didn't say sh_t..
Billy Dee is 87 and is doing pretty good for that age! He still looks pretty good also!
and i actually saw this episode when it was on tv that ONE time. ever since then, i've been wondering why they never showed it but i didn't know it was banned. as time went by, Fox ruined In Living Color by trying to censor just about everything.
This was a parody of guys like Billy Dee Williams and Fred Williamson who were black actors that influenced others. It was about malt liquor and it being the opposite of classy.
All the PC people from this generation mention Bill Cosby? I don't see the woman in the parody as a victim. All I see is a humorous bit making fun of the malt liquor marketing towards black people.
It's really funny and over-the-top when they get to the table part. The part about I knew she wouldn't refuse me does have a whole different connotation in this day in era.
I am sorry that life has come to this.
So you don't see him about to have sex with a passed out woman at the end?
SNL did a similar parody called "Coldcock".
you can never go wrong with a good rape joke
Say you can't joke about something because it's not funny. Comedians run into that all the time. Like rape. They'll say, "you can't joke about rape. Rape's not funny." I say, "f... you, I think it's hilarious. How do you like that?" I can prove to you that rape is funny. Picture Porky Pig raping Elmer Fudd. - George Carlin
I have a pretty good sense of humor, and I grew up in the 80s and 90s and love this show. However, date rape is not a joke, and that's how it was portrayed here.
Hilarious. I always thought the colt45 ads were rapey to begin with. Now I know people at the time thought the same.
I am a lady, could I at least get a bag and a straw........lmfao....im done....
😂😂😂😂
Only Keenan could’ve pulled this off!❤❤❤😂😂😂😂
That's not the only thing he pulled off. HEY-YO!!!
I remember seeing this back when it aired.
Perfect example of record this now before you regret it
The other plus side to this is this VHS quality of this sketch isn't too bad it's actually pretty decent looking for an old VHS copy. What they could do is take this copy of this sketch and digitally remaster it and it'll look almost like the original.
