She put out a fire, fed three kids, gave her husband some, defeated robbers, had lunch packed for multiple people, communicated her feelings among other things, and DID NOT GET OFF THAT PHONE! 😭😭😭 #GOAT
Lmao I HATE THAAAT!!!! I’m a movie and tv NEEERRDD I be quoting lines and they be so confused. And it’s even more annoying when they’ve seen the movie and suddenly remember the damn scene 🤣😂🤣
THIS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN IS WHY SHE IS THE MOTHER OF BLACK HOLLYWOOD. It just comes naturally to her and this skit proves it. I just purchased her book and looking forward to reading it
+TheJeniferLewis Hi Ms. Lewis! I am a huge fan of your work....I hope to one day meet you. I love you in every movie you have ever been in! Keep up the great work!
I've always been a fan of Jennifer Lewis. She's so talented and underrated! One of my favorite movies she starred in with Loretta Devine was "Dirty Laundry". That was hella funny!
Dirty Laundry is a very underrated movie. And you are right, JL was great in it. I love when Lettuce (first of all...WHO named their child Lettuce???) says "WHAT KIND OF NEW FANDANGLED SHIT IS THIS???"
I know! Our mom's loved the phone! I remember one day in particular! We'd go to Church on Sunday! My mom was on the phone talking to her sister and said that she would meet us later in Church! Church was about 3 hours! We'd watch the door and no mama! We came home and my mom was still talking on the phone to our Aunt Mildred! (You just can't make this stuff up!)🤣
I have been a fan of this woman's talent since forever. Now here is an example of the term "Total Package." I couldn't sleep last night, so I have literally been on RUclips all night with Jenifer Lewis, from stage, to t.v., to film, to interviews. I can't believe it's 8:18 am, and I'm energized instead of sleepy. Now, that's a star...and That Just Proves My Point!
It's not easy picking out a favorite "In Living Color" skit, but without a doubt this will ALWAYS be my favorite! The only one that comes close is "Snooky". LOL, again Jenifer Lewis.
When I was a kid, I would go to school sayin, "That just proves my POINT!" And I still shake my head without responding with that same expression. That was SO my Mommy back on the day on the phone. LOL I love you, Ms. Lewis!
Jenifer, I adore you! Always loved this skit....and the rest of your body of work! I will always remember when a few years back, my friend Reggie brought me along to visit you...I have been raving about how much fun that was ever since! All the best...God Bless!
Gosh, this makes me miss my youth and grandma. She actually did some of these things that Jenifer did when talking on the phone... the oven caught fire while she was on the phone, she stayed calm and somehow put the fire out, but stayed focus on that conversation she was having...true story. If we ran through the kitchen while she was on the phone, she would whack us across the back and shove us out doors... it seemed normal back then.
I’m remember watching this when it first came out and going to school and talking about it with my friends!!! I’ve LOVED Ms. Jen still then and still do now!!! This was my aunt back in the day, she could and did EVERYTHING talking on the phone!!!
So funny! This episode was my Mama, and a couple of Aunts! They'd have the phone in one hand and and taking care of business with the other! This is Classic Gold! Jennifer is Amazing! This just proves my point! 🤣🤣🤣
I have never seen this skit before, and I have seen/watched almost every episodes/skits of "In Living Color" back in the 90's! I didn't recognize her at first, and thought the title and thumbnail was click bait. Jenifer Lewis! How you 'gon do alla that being on a corded phone? That just proves my point! 😂😂😂
This is hilarious!!!! Thank you Ms. Jennifer for doing what you were called to do. You are an amazing actress and this episode had me cracking up at 1:00 in the morning. ~Blessings, Kellie
“THAT just proves my point.” I’ve saying that because of this every since. It’s even funnier now that I’m a mom 😂 I’m reading the book and just had to see this.
i remember being about 9 and laughing my ass off to this sketch. My mom was in the basement (where us kids had the TV) and said, "Well, that's not very nice!" I was just thankful that she had apparently forgotten we weren't allowed to watch ILC.
I was doing a medical study where we had to wake up at 530am for a blood draw. While sitting, there was this African-American woman also waiting and on her cell phone the whole time just having a never ending, non-sensical conversation about nothing... exactly like this skit. I don't know if she was up all night talking or woke someone up at 530 to talk about nothing.
LOL.. My goodness, if this was not my mother growing up!! Food burned plenty of times; when my mom was on the phone!! She did this with a house full of kids and a husband, at work!! 😂
Jennifer is a Legend....and this just proves my point!
She did all that with a regular phone. What would she do with a cell phone? LOL.
kaydenpat Karate everywhere! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
kaydenpat 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

She put out a fire, fed three kids, gave her husband some, defeated robbers, had lunch packed for multiple people, communicated her feelings among other things, and DID NOT GET OFF THAT PHONE!
😭😭😭
#GOAT
Her shaking her head “no” while being robbed is hilarious!!!
This was all the black mothers in my neighborhood.
I always say "That just proves my point" and no one ever knows what I'm talking about.
birdhead73 I would know
Lmao I HATE THAAAT!!!! I’m a movie and tv NEEERRDD I be quoting lines and they be so confused. And it’s even more annoying when they’ve seen the movie and suddenly remember the damn scene 🤣😂🤣
Only Jenifer could do this! Love her!
kkain123 I think Whoopi could pull it off, but I love J Lewis, so don't look for me between 2 and 3 cuz I'm in the beauty shop!!!
This women is amazing. The best comedy actresses next to Lucille Ball. I wish she had the same recognition as Lucy. Because she's simply the best.
This clip is legendary
Yessssss
This is every woman who's a mother, lol!
LOL indeed! Thank you so very much.
TheJeniferLewis OMG, you're on RUclips?!
***** Isn't that cool? I literally adore this woman! A true national treasure.
TheJeniferLewis I love your last name, AND YOUR WORK!!!
Ms. Lewis, you're a legend!!!
@@TheJeniferLewis omg I love yo u. Your AWESOME actor. People can really visualize that character. Awesome skit
THIS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN IS WHY SHE IS THE MOTHER OF BLACK HOLLYWOOD. It just comes naturally to her and this skit proves it. I just purchased her book and looking forward to reading it
T😮 bil🎉
This was my Aunt Janet all day. Loud and always gossiping.
RIP, Auntie!
My auntie too😂😂
She acted the HELL outta that! I remember watching this when I was 7 or 8 years old and was hysterical!
Meeee tooo that just proves my point!
Me too!! Jenifer is the ultimate entertainer! 😅
I LOVE THIS!!!!! Reminds me of my mom and that LONG phone cord.
Thank you so much, Kim Agnew. Had a blast doing this skit
:-)
+TheJeniferLewis Hi Ms. Lewis! I am a huge fan of your work....I hope to one day meet you. I love you in every movie you have ever been in! Keep up the great work!
Those long cords takes me back
YESSSSSSS kids 2day don't know about the house phone wit the hundred foot cord LOL 😆😆😆😆
I've always been a fan of Jennifer Lewis. She's so talented and underrated! One of my favorite movies she starred in with Loretta Devine was "Dirty Laundry". That was hella funny!
DAMN, NOW I HAVE TO GO WATCH THAT!! THANKS A LOT. I WAS GOING TO WATCH SOMETHING ELSE....
Leon Carrington especially Toni Child’s mom lol
Yessss, Dirty Laundry, Jackie's Back, Meet the Browns, so, so many others, she's having a great acting career!
Dirty Laundry is a very underrated movie. And you are right, JL was great in it. I love when Lettuce (first of all...WHO named their child Lettuce???) says "WHAT KIND OF NEW FANDANGLED SHIT IS THIS???"
She's not underrated quit minimize someones body of work with that word
OMG I cannot stop laughing because my mother and grandmother and I were all the same way that's how black mamas are..lol
I know! Our mom's loved the phone! I remember one day in particular! We'd go to Church on Sunday! My mom was on the phone talking to her sister and said that she would meet us later in Church!
Church was about 3 hours! We'd watch the door and no mama! We came home and my mom was still talking on the phone to our Aunt Mildred! (You just can't make this stuff up!)🤣
@@Chutney1luv That's hilarious
That just proves your point!
This is proof that moms can do it all.
Yessssss
True
That just proves your point! LOL!
So talented. To remember all those lines and and stayed in character.
I feel like she was improvising those lines lol.
May The Lord bless this woman ! Love her like I love Betty White !
OMG this lady is hilarious....multi-tasking while gossiping on the phone!!!

casius caligula I did that Saturday night. I watched whatever I could find on Jenifer. She is one of my favorites as well👍🏾
I wish she could have been a regular on in Living Color, especially during that disastrous final season.
in tears from cracking up....20+ yrs later..
I do believe this is my first time seeing this skit...interesting seeing it in 2016. I adore the entire body of Jenifer Lewis's work.
I've been randomly shouting "THAT just proves my point!" for 25+ years thanks to this character.
👏LE👏GEN👏DAR👏Y!!
I was thinking about my mom today and this popped into my head!
Top 5 greatest IN Living Color skit of all time (AT LEAST!!)
😂😂😂
I love you Jenifer Lewis! You are an amazing woman!
Even when she's still on the phone, she can still get things done. LOL. 😆😆😆
This just proves my point that you are awesome! Love you!
It's not easy picking out a favorite "In Living Color" skit, but without a doubt this will ALWAYS be my favorite! The only one that comes close is "Snooky". LOL, again Jenifer Lewis.
One of the funniest ILC sketches ever. I hadn't seen it in years and forgotten how great it was.
Jenifer is awesome!!! I've been looking for these skits forever! "That just proves my point!!!"
lol
Great Skit! This brings back memories of watching this with my cousin when we were young. Thanks for sharing!
I like how she shakes her head every time they ask her a question
Jenifer Lewis is hilarious. Loved her then and love her now on Blackish.
Wow! Did not even know she performed on " In Living Color"!! 💘
I will never forget "that just proves my point" but I forgot Jenifer Lewis played this part. Reading her book now and got the reminder.
When I was a kid, I would go to school sayin, "That just proves my POINT!" And I still shake my head without responding with that same expression. That was SO my Mommy back on the day on the phone. LOL I love you, Ms. Lewis!
Jenifer, I adore you! Always loved this skit....and the rest of your body of work! I will always remember when a few years back, my friend Reggie brought me along to visit you...I have been raving about how much fun that was ever since! All the best...God Bless!
