And...I automatically started singing it to myself to see if I truly know EVERY word, or just 95%🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️. (& I suppose I’m now compelled to now fo the same w/ Stevie’s Happy B-Day😉)
I'd never heard of Henrietta Lacks, so... I googled it. Thanks for the suggestion and the education. What an incredible (and also disturbing, in terms of patients' rights) legacy.
Already did. One word: Stonewall. Oh & while you're at it hunt down what happened to people with intellectual disabilities & disorders... Conversion therapy wasn't restricted to LGBTQ
Yeah, I know about Jim Crow and its descendants: overpolicing, requiring degrees for jobs that don't need them, and many more... I just wasn't familiar with Henrietta Lacks.
I'm just going to make this all about me. Amber, you are the best thing that's happened to me in years. Seriously though: content that is trenchant and revelatory, but/and also your characterizations and voices... are hilarious. And unforgettable. And energizing. Thank you! xo
@travooozle Your comment makes no sense. If you hate it for being "woke", one would assume you would prefer it to be reactionary. But reactionary comedy has famously been "unfunny and un-selfaware".
Why is this the first time that I am realizing how lame the 80s were? (Burning my junior high year book and cross colors dress. Please don't tell nobody.)
YEEEEESSSSS!!!!!! Go look it up yourself! I say it all the time, folks have access to all types of info in the push of a button and they still actin' like they don't know...they still confused. Get outta here!!!

I sincerely hope they weren't told how long the delays would be to their cues, for extra authenticity.
The overarching beats, right?
Yes i heard that's exactly what happened. They had no idea how long those extra beats would be.
You “heard”, "@@Daymickey"?!?
Living Single was funnier than Friends.
That's an opinion that has nothing to do with race unless you are a racist. So what are you truly trying to say?
Absolutely.
I have never seen Living Single, I did see Friends, and nonetheless I agree with you that Living Single is better
@@bdp8102 Watch it. You’ll be glad you did. It is so funny.
Hmm... different
When they drop the beat down fifteen flights of stairs...
Don’t talk to me until you can sing every word of “Lift Every Voice and Sing” 🥰
I will also accept Stevie Wonders "Happy Birthday" , full length

3:06 if you listen closely you can hear the crew members laughing at them in the back ground
those excessive drum-breaks, tho...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌
They were the best
🤣🤣😂😂😂
Best part lol
Yeah, that and the "orchestra hit" samples!
3:06 if you listen closely you can hear the crew members laughing at them in the back ground
Icing on the 🎂
You don’t even have to listen that closely...
Laughing "with" them.
Yooooo the funniest part was y’all not knowing when to jump in, like the best worst karaoke I’ve ever seen 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This show is the only late night style show that actually makes me laugh out loud, please never cancel it
She can do no wrong
Can we give Amber an Emmy already?
Forget that. Make an award after her in her honor.
@@MarcSylex yeah, we can call it the democratic puppet/race grifter award
Done! 👍🏻
Someone murdered that "fill in" button on the keyboard. 😄😃😀
I'd never heard of Henrietta Lacks, so... I googled it. Thanks for the suggestion and the education. What an incredible (and also disturbing, in terms of patients' rights) legacy.
The book is phenomenal, tragic and highly educational. The author is Rebecca Skloot.
Fascinating and distasteful at the same time. The father of modern gynecology, Marion Sims, is another one, though a bit more disturbing.
It's not just Henrietta Lacks. SO MANY black people were experimented on with medical treatments as well. Ugh.
I have listened to this 1000 times and still can't get the timing right lolololol
Yeah, I didn't know "Friends" was "Living Single" and then I looked it up myself
Yes, and actually Living Single was originally titled Friends....and that show creators even stole the title. SMDH.
I peed myself. And so true! Trans here. Look it up yourself. 😂🤣😂
Peace, friend! ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
@@Nan-59 Trans? Nice car. (Who says I need to look stuff up)
Already did. One word: Stonewall.
Oh & while you're at it hunt down what happened to people with intellectual disabilities & disorders... Conversion therapy wasn't restricted to LGBTQ
"You better Internet Explore, if you want to learn some more"
This is way better than anything produced in the 80s!
The song is actually funky
You weren’t alive in the 90s. 😉
@@paulaOyeah i was born in 85 and enjoyed the entire 90s 😉😉😉
@@paulaOyeah miss that decade. Especially "return of the mack"
Everything Amber does is funky, fun and factual
If I could I'd give this 2 snaps up! 4 those who don't know this reference, you betta internet explore and look it up yoself...
In a circle!
😂😂😂😂
2 snaps in a circle teehee*
Pilot to co-pilot.. we goin' down in flames
..in z formation!
That was awesome! I feel like an audience would have ruined that whole experience for me.
"😃👏😃👏😃👏😃👏😃👏😃👏😃👏"
Ikr im like not enjoying the thought of there being audiences for amber's show i really like this set up
I need this to ve a PSA Now
I can’t wait to embarrass my child with the chorus to this song the next time she asks me something to try and avoid looking it up herself. 😂🤣😂
It took me almost 30 minutes to watch this video - I looked up a few things I didn't know in real time...
Look up Jim Crow if you don't know about that while you're searching. It is the basis for a lot of legalized racism.
Yeah, I know about Jim Crow and its descendants: overpolicing, requiring degrees for jobs that don't need them, and many more... I just wasn't familiar with Henrietta Lacks.
I need to have the lyrics so I can hunt down some things
The insanely long synth drum sequencing is perfect.
This is so useful I will be dropping this link everywhere forever! 😂💜🙌🏾
Yes to every single beat breakdown!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I loved the extended synth breaks! Pure gold!
Here's to hoping that people, when they do go look it up themselves, won't find and believe bogus information...
Verify it at the Library
I'm just going to make this all about me. Amber, you are the best thing that's happened to me in years. Seriously though: content that is trenchant and revelatory, but/and also your characterizations and voices... are hilarious. And unforgettable. And energizing. Thank you! xo
They even got the shaky angled zoom in. I love Amber and Tarik so much
Lol! Don’t ask for work from BIPOC! YUS!
Only the Amber Ruffin Show could make excessive drum-breaks a punchline!
This sketch is the one that made me laugh the most all year. They nailed it. 😂⭐️👌🏻🙌🏻
They forgot duck duck go.
I cant lol! Brings me back to the 90's when you thought you new the timing of a song, yet you were always a beat behind!
Oh Amber, never ever EVER stop being you!
I love how they didn't know when to jump back into the chorus
Lol. I'm sending this to everyone!!!
Same!!!!
I am 110% behind this. More, please!
Amber Ruffin is a hilarious inspiration! I ❤ her (and her comedy) so much!
This is the Amber Ruffin aesthetic condensed into one video.
All of the laughter and tears! Everywhere! My husband was looking at me like I had lost my mind!
Yo I am crying laughing at the pauses! I love Amber!
I literally only have Peacock to watch this show haha
Same
Same! They need to fix their audio transitioning in and out of commercials. Js or only me?
Same
the message is completely on point!
Song so bad it GREAT
The video just started and I am already sharing this widely.
That's Infotainment! Teaching moments!
Gonna look it up myself! Holy **** that was funny.
I love Her!!! This show is Hilarious!! That long drumroll tho!!
All the extra awkwardness - I love everything about this
This made my night! 😂
This show got something that no other show has. And it feels like the future.
Let's hope

80s throwback appreciated!
This show needs it's own separate RUclips channel. I mean, it's the only thing I watch here on Peacock
This is the separate RUclips Channel 😂 I hope you’re already subscribed!
@@NiGHTSaturn lol. They have reassigned it to the new channel now. It was formerly on the Peacock video catalogue. 😂😂😂
@@ikennabede I remember this. It happens so rarely too! 😂 At least you’re right, she and her team always deserved a specific channel!
I just wanted to add about a million extra thumbs ups here. Thank you for this!🤣👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I already know but I'm about to look it up again. this PSA works.
This show is amazing!!!!!!
I'm sending this to my kids so they know why I tell 'em go look it up... man takes me back baby! 🤣🤣🤣💀
The lighting team: Nailed It AWESOME
This old white guy now has new things to look up. Thx
their musical numbers are gold
"Pull a book (up) off the shelf!" 😅
Wow, both Amber and Tarik are awesome at looking unintentionally awkward! Great acting!
This is hilarious 😂
Love ya Amber!
You speak facts!🔥🤘❤
Love it! "Go look it up yourself!"
You are the best thing to happen to TV/Comedy in a long time!
The more you know....
I love Amber so much.... This was amazing.
She is brilliant. I'm so happy she has her own show!!
Decades? Try GENERATIONS!
Why is this the first time that I am realizing how lame the 80s were? (Burning my junior high year book and cross colors dress. Please don't tell nobody.)
Hindsight is 20/20
Yes, leeean into it make it akward!!! I love this so so much!
Points for all the laughing behind the cameras ... Amber for EVERYTHING!!!!
Yaass!👏🏾👏🏾
Spot on.
Thank you for being rad, Amber!
Im singing this to my kids
Oh my. That choreography. I know there was a strong message in there but was kind of distracted by the ghastly moves.
On point!
The drums so extra! 😂😂😂
I AM CACKLING
Looked up Henrietta Lacks. Wow
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot is tragic and phenomenal..
@@jackiewilson7148 thanks
Yo them synth drums....this was disgusting......I hate y’all sooooo much😂😂😂😂 😍
It cracks me up every time! Every single time!
YEEEEESSSSS!!!!!! Go look it up yourself! I say it all the time, folks have access to all types of info in the push of a button and they still actin' like they don't know...they still confused. Get outta here!!!
Hahahahaha! This is great!!!! Would def buy the single!!!
Thank you for existing

Opera, Dogpile (my favourite...searches all engines!)
Beautifully done. So umm, gotta go look some stuff up.
I LOVE YOU 💕 Amber Ruffin!! ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
