- "Men On Film", featuring Damon Wayans and David Alan Grier as homosexual black film critics with exaggerated physical motions, such as "Two snaps up".
In Living Color is an American sketch comedy television series that originally ran on Fox from April 15, 1990, to May 19, 1994. Brothers Keenen and Damon Wayans created, wrote and starred in the program. The show was produced by Ivory Way Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television and was taped at stage 7 at the Fox Television Center on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, California. The title of the series was inspired by the NBC announcement of broadcasts being presented "in living color" during the 1950s and 1960s, prior to mainstream color television. It also refers to the fact that most of the show's cast were black, unlike other sketch comedy shows such as Saturday Night Live whose casts were mostly white. It was controversial due to the Wayans' decision to portray African-American humor from the ghetto in a time when mainstream American tastes regarding black comedy had been set by more upscale shows such as The Cosby Show, causing an eventual feud for control between Fox executives and the Wayans.
Other members of the Wayans family-Kim, Shawn, and Marlon-had regular roles, while brother Dwayne frequently appeared as an extra. The show also starred the previously unknown actor/comedians Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx, Tommy Davidson, David Alan Grier, and T'Keyah Crystal Keymáh. Additionally, Dancing with the Stars judge and choreographer Carrie Ann Inaba, and actress and pop music star Jennifer Lopez, were members of the show's dance troupe The Fly Girls with actress Rosie Perez serving as choreographer. The show launched the careers of Carrey, Foxx, Davidson, Grier, Keymáh, Inaba, and Lopez and is credited with bringing the Wayans family to a higher level of fame as well. It was immensely popular in its first two seasons, capturing more than a 10 point Nielsen rating; in the third and fourth seasons, ratings faltered as the Wayans brothers fell out with Fox network leadership over creative control and rights. The series won the Emmy for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series in 1990. The series gained international prominence for its bold move and its all-time high ratings gained by airing a live, special episode as a counterprogram for the halftime show of U.S. leader CBS's live telecast of Super Bowl XXVI.

Funniest part about the Men On Films skits is that you can tell that both Damon Wayans and David Alan Grier are trying so hard not to laugh and keep a straight face. Lmao
Mens on Film
@@queendionne659 😂😂
and failing every time.
I get it! A straight face! LOL
A straight face ?
man the actors on living color really didn’t get their credit. This was ten times better than SNL
AMEN!!!!!!!!
@@janeavila7177 💯💪🏾
I agree. This is when comedians could be funny without worrying about the crazies
Ten trillion
You would very rarely hear the crowd on SNL go apeshit laughter like they do here. It almost seems like they're a fake crowd, they go so wild! Because we're so used to hearing crowds cheering when they're told to cheer, and laughing half-heartedly at what we know is lame.
Still funny as hell almost 30 years later
hell yeah...😂😂😂😂
Damned right.
YESSSS! 2022 and I'm falling over laughing!!!
Absolutely I miss shows like this straight up
yes yes he is😂😂😂
*“Who care about 4 old white heifers all in a house?”* y’all the 90’s did not hold back 😭
They could have not said that on today's tv
“I’M Offended!” 🤦🏼♂️
Not 1 single fuck was given... LOL
TV was glorious
It was funny because we loved them old ladies
...and to think David Allen Grier almost turned this show down because he didn't think of himself as a comedian when compared to the rest of the cast. He is hilarious.
Wasnt he in In the Army Now with Pauly Shore? There's a scorpion on my back!! 😂 So funny!
They had 3 members of the ILC cast on SNL shortly after In Living Color was cancelled after its fifth season on Fox. (BTW, I felt ILC declined in quality after Season 3 which was around the time Keenen Ivory Wayans lost creative control of his show to Fox Network executives. That's why Seasons 4 and especially 5 are bad by comparison to Seasons 2 and 3.)
Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans, and David Alan Grier all hosted SNL within a year during the beginning of SNL's doldrums (when the writing got bad and the show became "meh"). Their episodes were above the average for that timeframe.
Honestly, from what I can remember, Grier had the most memorable SNL episode. That's just how it turned out.
Rewatching ILC in reruns, Damon Wayans was probably the most consistently "On"/funny member of the cast. Jim Carrey hasn't aged well for me.
David Alan Grier? Underrated and one of the most consistent, funniest guys in the cast after Damon Wayans. "Living Looney Tune" is how I would characterize his best moments. It's a gift to be surreal AND believable in a sketch!
People should go back and watch "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka." That feature film is glimpse into the near future. A lot of the core ILC cast is in that movie along with David Alan Grier, the humor is similar to what was in the first 3 seasons of ILC. He has one of the funniest scenes in that movie!
He's my favorite
He's hilarious
Honestly, THAT is what made him so funny! He goes from playing serious roles like on “A Soldier’s Story“ to this & managed to pull it off!
There will never be another great show like this..... never ever never.
I'm glad I lived during those times. Fond memories.
This show sucked
Agreed

@Berto G Don't be mad, Berto
David Allen Grier was way too underrated!
tu padre he truly was. His book is fuckin hilarious
IT THE ONLY CHARACTER HE PLAYED ON THIS SHOW...I LIKED......
He is.
He's my fav comedian. Definitely underrated
Facts
The little hat glued to Damon's head is still the funniest thing ever filmed
That little hat would be just chillin on his head🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They were both so great in this skit.
I got invited to a masquerade party by a friend and could find a mask. Saw a hat like his and this shit popped in my head.... i thought i was going to be the only one there that didn't have a mask, therefore the odd person everyone stares at and judges for not understanding/ following the rules. I was wrong, everyone loved the tiny hat
So funny ❤
I agree! I’m here for the hats
Oh 90's, you are missed.
Omg yes
😎
Forget the 90s. The 80s were the best!!
So, so much
Truth
They couldn't even do these skits without laughing themselves! Too funny 😂😂😂
How TF was either of them able to stay in character throughout this? We may never know.
You could tell Damon was losing it.
Damon almost lost it at the 10:08 mark
You don't see them breaking character all through this skit?
WeAreN1nja they dont lol its pre recorded, u can find bloopers which are more hilarious lol
Kendall Fleming you can seem them laughing a bit.
- "Next, we come to Roseanne."
- "Now that's the kind of woman made me switch in the first place" 🤣
in living color had the best crowds. the crowds would always scream laugh.
it was a laugh track
blackturkdog no. It was recorded live.At the beginning kennen talks to the audience. Plus the show shows the audience when the fly girl dance. a laugh track sound way different.
@@nookguy4318 yes they didm they still use laugh tracks. Samantha Bee's show uses laugh tracks...Chelsea Handler. Good times, The Jeffersons.
blackturkdog ruclips.net/video/NXNM0dTzHOE/видео.html it shows right here that it was live. Plus in the middle of this skit i heard a person say "hell nah". You can most def tell it was not a laugh track. At least in that episode.
Than at the end of good james said it was recorded beofe live audience. Wel good times probably was one to since he did say it was recorded before live. But i am pretty sure in living color was real. Plus i read a article that said a show with a live audience has genuine laughs. So im just assuming. I could be wrong though my guy!. But than i also read that for a show that was recorded live the actors would wait until the audience got done laughing than and at times it would be followed by a weird silence plus at times you can hear people caughing and it would more of a echo when they did laugh. And i seen that all the time on in living color and other shows. Even on good times. So to be honest i think it was real laughs.
Damon cracking up while lying on the floor is the best part of the whole thing.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!
about Rosseane " that's the kind of woman who made me to switch in the first place"
That was classic.. I'm sure even she got a chuckle out of it. All comic geniuses love jabs from other geniuses.
Smh lol 😂
Took me out. 😂🤣💀
The Wayans family are the 11 on a scale of 10 crazy and DAG has always been "not from here". This show was, even for a short time on the air, so relevant. Next to Chapelle's show this was one of the funniest black written, acted and produced.
Actually, that show was on the air for quite a few years, not just a little bit of time
Hmmmm. U bring up a very good point. Maybe Dave Chappelle is greatly influences by the Wayans IN LIVING COLOR. Gregg Oreo long Beach Ca
@@greggoreo6738 Chappell has mental issues
Before your time, but Richard Pryor and Flip Wilson had remarkable shows, and took numerous chances with the material. As to ILC, it was the character actors for me: Kim Coles, DAG, Damon Wayans, Jim Carey, Tommy Davidson, T"Keyah Keymah, Alexandra Wentworth, Jie Foxx, etc...they were obviously hysterically talented.😂😂
Funniest PERIOD
David Allen Grier has range just look at men on film then watch tales from the hood one extreme to another.
Very underrated.
He was EXCELLENT in ILC and he was FEARLESS in Tales from the Hood! ❤️
he scared the 💩outta me as The Monster😂😂
I'm gay, and im NOT offended by this in the least, they need to bring this back
I wish they would to. But in this new P.C. Sensitive Generation not at all.
Same.
@@Noble6233 they could never make this in this day and age. Too many fragile snowflakes and cancel culture.
Same
Why would you be offended lol wtf wrong with y’all 😂🤦🏾♂️
Daman broke character so many times in this sketch lmao
David did too
David was more convincing playing gay IMO but Daman did well too.
David Alan Grier is simply EXCELLENT!!👍
I AM LITERALLY CRYING TEARS LAUGHING!!!!!!!!!!! This show was better than any sketch comedy show including Saturday Night Live.
You know what great about the early 90s? You had Saturday Night Live on Saturday night at 11:30 pm at 1:00 am It's Show Time at The Apollo and Sundays at 8:00 pm you had In Living Color. Best time to be alive in the early 90s.

I miss the days when people could laugh at themselves. This is hilarious.
Like growing up with a name like Brian Eastburn. Beastburn? B. Eastburn? You a beastiality fan? Family secret getting out?
@@rohe4077 lmao... wow you are so original. I guess you're one of those people without the ability to laugh at themselves. In fact you are one of those people that attack other people because it makes you feel better about yourself. Peace out.. try not to take life so seriously. Bless you and yours.
@@maxpower2542 your reply is hilarious. Nice. Way to reinforce your first point.
@@maxpower2542 this man's really taking a roast too seriously while saying people need to take things less seriously. Never change RUclips. Truly an amazing site
At 4:18, when he said "Call a doctor, I think he needs mouse to mouse resuscitation", I was about💀☠🤣
OMG When Damon fell with on his knees with his arse up the air
David Allen Grier was absolutely outstanding at playing this role. May be the best to ever do it.
When this aired it was VERY funny! IMO the '90s were the last great decade 4 black entertainers. They had great sitcoms, new jack swing ruled R&B, hip hop was at its peak and "In Living Color" ruled on Sunday nites! Miss those days.
And Arsenio Hall on Monday thru Friday nights. Never missed an episode
It was the last great decade for a lot of things! Movies. Tv shows. Music. Comedy. Cartoons. Everything now is spoon fed agenda injected political brainwash nonsense.

@@snatchadams69 no kidding not to mention all the anti gay psa's
It's sad to know such a hilarious skit would never be able to be on tv today.
Yes it can. NetFlix anyone??
Political correctness has silenced creative comedy.
It definitely can
Shut up. It’s literally available to everyone right now. Tv isn’t all there is. This literally started on tv, and tv has grown more controversial in the last 30 years. Stop regurgitating mindless rhetoric
@@cherylkearney8491 It's silenced a lot of ignorance. There, I fixed it for you, cause that's what's really happened. Same thing happened with making black people play nothing but criminals and the help. It's not political correctness, it's called growth and evolution and it will keep happening, and I'm glad. A society that doesn't grow, remains stagnant and inevitably destroys itself.
In Living Color was super funny! We recorded every episode mostly to see my cousin Deidre Lang, one of the original Fly Girls! The family was and still very proud of Deidre whose still dancing and performing!
That's so awesome ! 😀
Deidre was one of the best! This is GREAT news! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hmmmm?
Really?
@@katherineirving7189 Really....
Wow, that is cool. She started off the show dancing and the tone was set..lol...very Beautiful and talented.
David was. F… beast!!! And he was just disgusted with straight Damon 😂 😂😂😂😂😂
"Blain your hat" LMAO!!! I NEVER recovered from that im still dead after all these years!
D.C Marley 😩🤣😩🤣😩🤣

🤣🤣🤣
Damon Wayans and David Alan Grier are BRILLIANT comedians😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I think it’s hilarious how they they used to break character and laugh but still be able to finish the skits 😂😂
Yes that’s true talent right there 👍🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯💯💯💯💯💯
“Now that’s the kinda woman made me switch in the first place” said every gay man, ever
😂😂😂
Hated it is a classic line, i say it to this day!
How about "Two snaps up!"?
You know I nevva knew what they where saying. I thought they said "hay to dem" ...
@@rpgfan72 Lol!!
Two Snaps Up and a Twist! 😅🤣😅🤣😅
OMG!! Tell me about it. Matter of fact just think about how man "classic lines" were in this show: Hated it, Homie don't play dat, I'm readdiy ta' go, BAM!!, Let Me show ya' Somethin', and on and on lol!!!!!
I love when they crack eachother up and try to stay in character.
When everyone had a sense of humor. This show was ahead of it's time.
No it wasn’t. It’s now the future. You can’t do this at all. Folks are way too pc.
@@Luna-kb3sr to this day I see way more people complaining about pc people being offended than people who actually are offended. Which is hilarious to me.
You ain't lying
@@dragonaffliction23 they're ALWAYS the ones whining about people being offended,yet they're the ones who constantly doing it!
Yess
I love this show and this skit in particular. Damon and Alan had me laughing so hard and the show was phenomenal. It was a shame that the powers that be took the show off the air because they didn’t want to give the Wayans their worth.
Back when people could poke fun of stereotypes and still get along just fine!
Also when Gatorade came in glass bottles.
Gaytorade*
Is it me or did they taste different in a glass bottle than they do in a plastic bottle? especially Grape.
😅😅😅😅he said “filled to the brim with protein “😅😅😅😅
That shot they took at CBS (See..BS) was golden. Nothin' like a lil' network rivalry!!😁
The range of these two was amazing. I never realized back then but watching them now I can see how talented they were.
Yes
I want to own Blain's little hat SOOOO bad. I would just it on my coffee table and just crack up laughing every time I came into my living room and saw it lol!!!
The hat is awesome lol
"oh my Lord, Blaine!?... Blaine?!Someone call a doctor... I think he needs mouth to mouth recesitation!"

I tell you I grew up watching this at a great time to be alive, even with all the struggles of the world around me,I had great laughter with this show from such great talent‼️
Now THIS is how you work a stereotype! Too funny! Obviously not all gay guys are like this.
Not a lot of them at all are like that. The whole point was to take the skit and these guys over the top.
True but let's not forget, it was because of Fox censors causing the Wayons to leave the show. People just don't understand, it's comedy. We take so much seriously today than understanding comedy and entertainment. Hence Dave Chappelle...
It wasnt taken off because of that. It was cancelled because the network didnt wanna pay them appropriately.
Don’t we wish they were, I love flamers.
Not all gay men just the safe ones.
If this were released today, HEADS. WOULD. EXPLODE. 🤯🤣🤣
Yes back then you could use the word retarded you can make fun of people who had mental disabilities and you can make fun of people with physical disabilities pure magic
Let's put show back on!
And heads would roll
Just the woke ones
We will NEVER see skits like this on television today lol
It's barely on RUclips...
Agree.❤️💯
You can blame the Democraps and triggered liberals that get offended at everything. Really sad.
Yes they were using the word retarded making fun of people with learning disabilities making fun of people with physical disabilities they could never now
I remember how the next day at school we would always do the new "snap of the week". But I don't remember this episode or the "patty-cake snap" .. 😂🤣 DEADISH
At the time this was airing I was in the Marine Corps and we also would come into work the next day and do the "snap of the week". We were especially fond of "two snaps up and a twist". Another favorite was "snap in Z snap formation".
It was fun to be young...
Bring back this show and get rid of SNL.
Snl is garbage
ABSOLUTLEY SNL is for shit!!!
Today's shows gotta go by the rules of not offending people that's why today's comedy are pieces of crap
Frank Gonzalez must be a trumper
No keep both. SNL is definitely funny
The first part of this was part of the season finale. People were waiting all summer to see how they resolve one of them not being gay anymore. Same with Homey "selling out" in the same episode.
I had no idea! Great cliffhanger.
I remember that!! 😂😂💜.
I actually remember waiting all summer for both cliffhangers. It was the worst lol
Blain was DELIVERT!!!
Good times man 😂 good times 😂
I know I shouldn't be laughing at this but damn, David Alan Grier knocked it out of the park. His facial expressions alone...
That there mentality "I shouldn't be laughing" is what destroyed comedy!!!
It is okay to laugh at it. It is actually healthy to do so. You can be gay or have gay friends and still find this funny.
Why shouldn't you laugh at it? It's comedy for the sole purpose of being laughed at.
Why shouldn’t you be laughing at it. It was funny
Oh you Should be laughing at this. Timeless
The two of them trying not to crack up is the best.
i can seriously watch this all day! classic comedy at it's finest!!
u bet
Oscar Rivera I totally agree
The way they Crack each other up and the audience eats it up. It's such a great energy.
"I guess that's why they call it CBS,because that's all you see........BS!!!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Still true. They are the waste management of broadcast networks because all their shows are garbage. Everybody Loves Raymond was funny though.
@@got2bjosh Frank was my favorite, too funny.
5:24 Damon laughing at David's ass all tutted up! lol
Lmaooooo that part me hollering 🤣🤣🤣😭
If they did a skit today they would say their favorite network is the BBC.
Good one 😂
😂😂😂😂
😭😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I remember watching this episode. I've been a ghost ever since cause I died laughing that day! Great show!
I remember watching this like it was yesterday. Was this REALLY 30 years ago?
David Allen Grier!!!!!.....why is he not on a sitcom on every network!
They usually don't succeed
The worst season of In Living Color was better than the best season of SLN.
not sure about that. early snl hit some grand slams too. but for the few years ilc was on, it was more consistently hysterical.
That they both fell over face down, ass up was more than a notion...too funny
I'm straight, and I loved Men On Film! This particular episode poked fun at toxic masculinity, homophobia and heterosexism. ILC dabbled in all of the communities.
Toxic masculinity? Where you see that?
no such thing as toxic masculinity, but I get it they poked fun of masculinity, hetrosexuality, homophobia and even gay. but who cares this show was great entertainment.
Macho is bullshit!
Peoplw that accept the idea of toxic masculinity never seem to talk so openly and easily about toxic feminity
No such thing as toxic masculinity
They even collapsed in a feminine way, lol.
The ppl howling in the audience is like music!!😁🎶
I mean they are howling in that audience!! I’m in tears!
@@songster03 4realz!!😂
they be throwing hella shade 😂
Savage Shade!
When he returned to form and they brought out his little hat and he was was boppin along I lost it 😭😭
How did Damon turn straight that fast then turns back gay wow
Head injury. Lol
Amnesia kinda has that effect on you.....Make you forget who you were....
This and other comedy shows were funny then because they weren't politically correct. They offended and laughed about it.
Thanks for this...was rolling on the floor!! I remember watching this on TV🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nobody can do it better than them. "I gotta shift my seat."
Who falls ass up crazy lol
😂😂😂😂😂
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
They lost their damn minds with this sketch 🤣
Yooooo I miss the 90s. This is gold, pure gold.
They broke character a couple of times 😂😂
I’m gay and I knew this was just a show. A funny one. These two guys were hilarious.
Awe look at that stand out word (JUST) lol awe
Every Sunday the whole family would get together to watch this show I cant believe my parents would let me watch this at 7 years old
Same…I was 5 years old and used to watch this with my parents.
This is classic comedy, Living color was awesome and so funny. Thanks for all the laughs.
one of the funniest and most ground breaking shows of all time. even after all of these years i binge in living color. their bravery and pure talent remains unmatched today.
Agreed
The Golden Girls was my favorite show.
It would’ve been theirs too probably 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ it’s like a requirement when ur gay 🤣🤣🤣
One of mine also.
This was the best of FOX 90's shows, IN LIVING COLOR will forever be better than SNL!!!!!!!
they just don't make them like they used to! best show ever
Public Access Channel 68 & a 1/2...🤣🤣
They would have loved Broke Back Mountain
Too bad the show wasn't around by then to review it. "Men On Brokeback." Would've been a classic episode!
