Part 15: • Deon Cole Recalls Smok...
Part 1: • Deon Cole Responds to ...
--------
In this clip, Deon Cole weighed in on Ben Stiller saying he has no apologies for the film ‘Tropic Thunder’ which saw Robert Downey Jr. essentially perform in blackface. Deon explained from a pure comedic perspective that the sheer over-the-top nature of Downey Jr.’s performance didn’t come across as demeaning to black people. From there, Deon addressed the controversial meme he created to poke fun at the "slap heard around the world," involving Will Smith and Chris Rock. He expresses his regret because Chris Rock has been a mentor of his for years. He then shares some sound advice that Chris once gave him about being a comedian before he's anything else in life, which includes being Black, an American, a father, and so on. From there, DJ Vlad chimes in and states that what Will Smith did at the Oscar's was some "Punk Sh*t" because he never would have responded the same way if Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson cracked a similar joke on stage. Lastly, the two men turn their attention to Jada's "entanglement" with August Alsina before DJ Vlad shocks his Deon by informing him that August recently "came out of the closet."

Deon laughed w Vlad about one of the top not funny moments of the movie just to make vlad stop stating the obvious parts of the movie lol. 😂. Now that's funny.... BTW sister I am a black man and that movie was great and I wasn't offended at all either
Vlad, you NEED to clean this up! August Alsina did not come out as GAY! The guy in his pics are his BLOOD brother! You may be in for a lawsuit if you don't correct this.
As a black woman, Tropic Thunder is one of my favorite movies. The movie was not about being black or making fun of blacks. It was about how crazy actors can be and the extremes they'll go to when method acting. The actors did a great job and I can watch the movie over and over.
This is how I feel about any white character depicting black people. They don’t have thw skin color so they haven’t to paint it on. Even in the ‘50 or was just portraying a character
@@queenofthousandmoons2231 Robert Downey junior wasn’t playing a back guy he was casted as a method actor 😂😂😂
Why do you blacks always have to lead with your race? It's like that with every dang comment. Reminding us your race serves what purpose?
Technically Tropic Thunder was making fun of how ridiculous it is when white folks portray black people. Outrageous stereotypes & just overdoing the accents & mannerisms in general. It didn’t perpetuate any negative stereotypes overall so I think that’s why it didn’t get too much backlash in the end.
FACTS! Downey Jr. Was brilliant in this movie.
“I’m just a dude playing a dude dressed as another dude” 😂😂 forever the funniest line rdj ever done
I literally died laughing when he said “Gimmie that Got Damn map!” 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
First of all I'm a black man. And you are right that was the funniest line maybe ever in any comedy!😂 I love Robert Downey Junior's performance and I think he should have got an Oscar nomination for that performance. Furthermore I love that movie except for one thing. Why did they have to make the black guy the gay guy and why did it have to be any gay stuff in it period. Other than that I love that movie it was so funny. And just think Robert Downey Jr played a black guy, a Vietnamese guy, and an Australian guy! What a performance.
“You shredded like a julienne salad man. Got any tips?”
"i know what dude i am! i'm the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude." which is exactly who robert downey jr was in that movie 🤣
When Deon heard August came out, it was like he immediately had a joke!! He was holding it in 😂😂
He fought for his life😂😭
I'm a Blackman and RDJ is one of my favorite actors. Tropical Thunder was well put together. Never was there a dull scene. Sherlock Holmes is definitely a classic that I watch it over and over again. ❤
I have this strange feeling that most of the people who criticizes Robert Downey Jr for his work in Topic Thunder actually never watched the whole movie, if any significant amount of it.
They don't have to because A) that would be platforming and condoning it by giving it money B) the entire point was to make fun of self absorbed actors like a Leto or Carrey who abuse method as a way to see what they can get away with. As opposed to a Lewis who admits he stays in characters because he finds it the easiest. But he didn't halt production for half an hour during my left foot to be carried into the bathroom like Leto did on Morbious, or threatening the director that he would have to be giving a worse performance when asked if he could stop acting like a prick because Andy would have. Despite people who worked with Andy who are in the movie said he once pulled a prank by bringing escorts to taxi dressed as Tony Cliffton during a read through of a script. But would otherwise behave himself behind the scenes.
I have a feeling it’s a lot of white people criticizing him for playing that role. Mad because they can’t do black face as well as Topic thunder did.
And their probably not even black
I agree.
Gen Z brats
Tropic Thunder was honestly one of the best comedies of the last 20 years. The Tom Cruise part alone was something wild
Yes he did!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 "How about I give you a hobos dick cheese"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The tom cruise part almost made me pass out in the theater.
Totally agree. Cruise went full into that character and it was hilarious.
Thanks for not spoiling what he did. I dtill havent seen it. Soon
@tanheavy aka ispeakmucho yeah u gotta see it trop thunder is mad funny.
As a Black man from Mississippi, Tropic Thunder is one of my favorite comedy movies. S/o to RDJ, brilliant actor and acting.
Yea i know what disrespect looks like.. thats not it
But lots of southern blacks don’t recognize even subtle racism bc they are so used to it in the south.
@@ladylady8745 If that was an insult, you failed miserably.
@@kyriskustoms2172. I should have said some southern blacks don’t recognize some of the subtle racism…..
Deon Cole’s facial expression when VLAD said the August may have just come out as gay, is priceless 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 They are right “entanglement” is not the word for it… “Fucked up” is the phrase!
I LITERALLY THOUGHT THE SAME THING, I REWINDED IT SO I COULD SEE HIS FACIAL EXPRESSION AGAIN 😂
Me too his face turned to STONE!
I think Deon Cole may be a little sugary.
RDJ didn't "essentially" do blackface, it WAS blackface. And that was the point, and it was hilarious. I don't think people know what satire is.
Black face well never be funny regardless
😂😂 it was funny asf
No the point was that he was making fun of method actors that go to ridiculous lengths for a role
@@BryanKalloo your point supports the OPs
People don't want to learn what satire is. Many people meant to be a victim. They want a reason to be outraged.
Context and intent (should) matter, but they don't.
As a black man, and an intelligent human being, his inappropriate complexion was the joke and the black character called him out incessantly for it. It was also, hilarious.
As another brotha i concur.
@@thejoker-wu1sp same here!
You sound like a white boy foo go for a jog or something 😆
Likewise
I have no problem with it because they are making fun of actors that go too far and Brandon said what we would have liked to be said!
Chris Rock telling him he's a comic before he is black, that he is a comic before he is a father etc., explains everything I suspected I've felt about him
EXACTLY! That went over most ppl’s heads. Marlons special explained a lot to me as well.
The "Entanglement" fiasco boils down to immature people not setting healthy boundaries in their relationships. It doesn't take a genius to predict it was a disaster waiting to happen. Having an "open" relationship never works, because jealousy and hurt feelings will always be the outcome.
So true
I had no problem with Tropic Thunder because Robert Downey's character was getting checked by the real black guy the whole time so it's not like they're walking around ignoring that this guy's in blackface. If they ignored it the whole movie I would've had a problem with. It was actually done in a genius way not like the 1986 movie Soul Man.
Glad I read the comments 1st I was bout to point this out 😂
@Ramses Stafford, excellent point about Soul Man, salute.
I agree. That movie was hilarious because of the real black guy just as you said.
@@ttownhornet 👍🏽
Good point. The joke is how far method actors go for a role
Robert Downey Jr WASN'T doing blackface. The character he was playing was doing blackface. It was a brilliant twist on the idea and comedic genius.
Perfectly put.
Exactly!
YOU BEAT ME TO IT! He wasnt doing a black face. He was (5) time grammy award winner! Got a medical change to make it happen! Sgt. Elias said Get YO Jheri Curl Detroit wearing so-n-so.. Man aint no curls back then LOL! This black dude thought Sgt. Elias MADE THE MOVIE if ya ask me!
It really wasn't.
Exactly! Everything isn't black and white.
I love that brother's easy-style energy. You can't rattle him with anything. Easy like Sunday morning.
"When you play Family Feud, your answers don't count."
This is the greatest diss to us, the public. Because it's absolutely true.
August wasn't only Jaden's friend, he was also homeless and going through mental illness+physical sickness issues and Jada was supposed to be a parent figure and took advantage of the kid
Wasn't he going blind too
Jada prolly turned him out
Dude is 30..
@@CantTellYou lmfaoooo
Stop the 🧢 cap…. He wasn’t homeless and there was no documented diagnosed mental or physical illness. He was a grown man with an older woman. Stop picking and manufacturing victims
Some people wait YEARS…to decide to get “offended”
Nobody got offended over Angelina Jolie doing a blackface role.
I'm a black man and Tropic Thunder is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Classic! Deon said it right...at the time it was very funny.
If you can please try to look pass funny.
Who’s a black man? 😂
It's still funny today
@@anthonystroman8407 it’s a comedy , so why would you ?
That movie was a classic. You can joke on black people you just better be funny. Plus RDJ chill asf.
That's my stance on comedy period. Almost anything is up for grabs as long as it's witty enough to be funny.
With that being said, I'm in no position to get upset at someone finding the same joke that made me laugh to be offensive.
Agreed 💯💪
No if black people can make fun of white people on TV then white people can too.
As a Blackman Tropic Thunder my shit these ppl be killing me
I loved that movie, tried of people going back in history to cry about old shit.
what you mean THESE PPL? 😂🤣
As a black man I agree loved it
I love that when you play Family Feud at home your answers don't count.
Its easy to say what you would have done when you have had time to replay the scenario in your head over and over again.
Am I the only one who was waiting for Deon to say "WELP!... " (9:01)😅
You were not the only one 😂
Black man here... Robert Downey Jr and Ben stiller had me dying 😂😂😂.. phenomenal work..."collar up sum dem greens yeah"😂😂😂😂 ironically only young white ppl were offended
Your half white shut your mouth
Exactly honeslty any blck face was acting so it can’t be deemed as racist ever. All of it was acting to just portray something over the top. I think black people are sensitive over anything. Black face isn’t even racist it’s just acting
Or just a man here w/o putting your race first. Don't need to identify by your race.
Who cares ur race
It was funny.
The whole point of tropic thunder was to use satire to showcase the ridiculousness of Hollywood and actors within. Rdj's whole character is based on stereotypes/tropes, which is why we have Brandon T. Jackson's character to point out, "wtf are you doing, you think that's how black people are? because it's not. " It's making fun of an industry that is removed from reality.
00]
It was just some troll trying to make a story…sometimes Hollywood will go against a director when he can’t be bought or controlled…..race is a hot topic right now they tried to get him in the wash with all the nonsense.
The look on him trying to hold back his comments hilarious
I really enjoy all experiences with Deon Cole in them. He never fails to bring the feel good and he is very easy to listen too and always honest and intelligent and so so watchable funny too by the way
That SLAP joke from his 2019 special was funny as hell. Loved his first special
Chris is a comedian. I’m very certain he was expecting jokes.
@@kellidinit3725 this had nothing to do with Chris. Watch Deon Coles special about his version of Slap. Thank me later. It was 2019
@@Lavettivegas will do. I love Deon. Even his commercials are funny.
Sounds Like a Plan 😂
Black female here. Tropic Thunder one of my all time favorite comedies! 😂😂🤣
Robert did such a great job I didn’t realize it was him the first time seeing it😂
Deons initial response when he heard august Alaina came out as gay was fuckin priceless
😂😂😂😂😂
These men love 🍆.
Bru tropic thunder was hilarious! I remember my mom dying laughing at the end at tom cruise character

When you play family feud at home your answers don’t count 😂😂
When you play family feud at home, your answers don't count 🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣
That "400 years...." scene killed me. RDjr was hilarious.
Lol nobody realizes Agust and Jayden had there own entanglement. Nobody asked him how he feel
I was going to say…. They all go in all the ways imaginable I’m sure🤣🫠
Yep! They definitely did...!!!
I feel bad for Jayden. That is a major betrayal to the entire family. Willow and Jayden now know not to bring their friends or lovers around their Mother because Moms might F 'em. Can you even come back from that ?
@@kimme2852 yikes!👏🏼100%!!!!!🫣🫠
That whole household is gay, and they all was fukd August🤔
When you play family feud at home, ya answers don’t count😂😂😂😂💯.
a bar 😂
Vlad, the instigator, disguised as a interviewer-- tosses the ball and Deon says, "Nah, this game is not that."
“Man I don’t drop character until i do the DVD commentary!” RDJ kilt dat role 😂😂😂😂
I love the family feud quote. I'm saying that for the rest of my life now lol.
I'm not black but Tropic Thunder was making fun of actors than making fun of being black or being mean-spirited at all. That movie still holds up which is very difficult for a comedy, much more for one that has blackface in it, and that's a big testament to how well it was written and ahead of its time. Tom Cruise is in a fat suit doing an obvious parody of Harvey Weinstein too.
Let's make a comedy movie about the white boys who got killed in pearl Harbor...I wonder if Ben Stiller and Downey Jr are down for such a gag...
I didn't know who Harvey was back at that time. It makes sense now...lol. I have to look at again now. That movie was hilarious!!!😂😂😂
"I'm a comic before I'm black" -- Sounds like something Chris Rock would stand on
Exactly what I was thinking. Smh like what? Way more offensive that tropic thunder movie lol
An immutable trait should be the LAST THING anyone should wanna stand on. People rep their skin color like a TEAM they chose to be on & it’s fucking ridiculous.
I thought that picture of August and the dude was actually his brother and people like Vlad assumed he was implying that he was gay. Irresponsible journalism and we know Vlad will not apologize. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
The guy is said to be his younger brother - I think August just wants yall to believe what makes yall happy as long as he's still talked about ( which is publicity good or bad!!)
The first time I saw Tropic Thunder, I came in on the jungle part and I was like "Damn- dude looks kinda like Robert Downey Jr."
His face when he said August was gay was priceless 😅
It was the head nodding after.... Plead the fif 😂
Deon was choosing his words VERY carefully as to not offend anybody!😂....he was dodging Agent Vladimir's traps like like Mystique through the lasers!
lol the look when u told him August came out as gay.... had me rolling 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
People forgetting about the old movie from the 90s called Soul Man. Dude dressed black in college and it was not a big deal. I'm surprised this movie has not been brought up.
That's because that movie sucked and not many people have seen it or even heard about it
Right look at Trading places Dan Aykroyd
@@istaythinkingabout facts!!
White chicks 😂
Soul man c.thomas howell
That was the best black face and it was done genuinely. It wasn't meant to demean blk folk it was funny af!😂😂😂😂
It was demeaning. I hope your not black saying this.
I think people have different degrees of when they get offended so since we are a more forward thinking society now I guess we gotta respect that
Best blackface? Lol tell me ur second favorite one...
@@thejoker-wu1sp lmao @ the best black face contest
@@thejoker-wu1sp Always sunny #2
Perfectly put, it was so over the top, and the way the real black dude played off of it made it funny
Vlad should have Will Smith on the show and say he did "some punk sh*t" to his face. I'll tune in for that one 😂
"8:41" that classic Deon Cole Head Nodd 😄..if you know you know
I rewatched Tropic Thunder 6 times last year and this year LOL Saw it in cinema when it came out. Brilliant movie.
Great interview! I enjoyed Deon! Never saw him interviewed or serious. Great sense of humor and down to earth, I enjoyed this video.
Lol exactly, it's more than an entanglement! 😂
So good of him to remove & apologize for the meme (I didn't see it). So many people have spoken on how good of a person Chris Rock is and always helpful. 😍
I had no problems with the movie Tropic Thunder, by far one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. All the actors did their job.
Deon love both your last two Netflix stand ups keep going bruh
I love Tropic Thunder because they did it for a point and pointed out what was happening.I never felt offended but that’s me
My heart broke for Chris when Will said keep my wife's name out of your mouth and Chris said "I will". I could hear the sadness in his voice.
Well he shouldn’t have been talking about Will wife. He has been talking bs about her for over 6 years.
@@Lenae23 well then he should have handled it six years ago. I could be wrong I don’t know the story, but there are other things I feel that contributed to his emotional explosion in that moment. Chris isn’t in the right, but that entire family needs therapy and healing.😵💫
Yup. Jada kept coming for Chris smh.
But he didn't tho.
@@Lenae23 That's not his wife that's an entanglement 😂
RDJ performance in the Tropic Thunder was CLASSICALLY FUNNY 🤣😎🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Context is everything !!!!!
Context and "intent" is everything - Tropic Thunder was taking the piss out the concept of black face, and was pretty much putting the "commentary" of it in a movie. It is NOT the same as, say casting Julia Roberts to play Harriet Tubman - which was a REAL SUGGESTION by a "REAL" Hollywood producer in the 90s
😬😬
Gtfoh wtf?! 🤔 cause her family supported mlk family financially they gave her the Kanye west hall pass ??
Funny how nobody ever calls Angelina Jolie out for her "blackface" role in "A Mighty Heart".
Deon played it real safe with his responses…. I don’t blame him
Vlad trying to bait him all along.
That's right..he absolutely did the right thing. His eyes were darting around picking the words out of the sky.
Probably something this new generation can pick up on. You don’t speak on another man’s family no matter how high profile.
I'm laughing at his point on tunnel vision ... That analysis is amazing and hilarious 😅
Jack Black's character choking the bat that stole his coke was HILARIOUS!
Deon trying not to touch that August Will Jada Chris stuff... Vlad's trying to end his career over here lol
Tropic Thunder" was Halarious 🤣
A year later and Vlad still driving this "The Rock" point into the ground
Best RDjr role ever for me. I'm black and I found that role in particular the most hilarious. Especially the fact that he was always in it with the actual black guy😂
Remember "white chicks" movie? one of the best comedies I've ever seen. Every intelligent person can understand the context and the meaning behind these movies.
He Said This Aint No Entanglement, Its A Birds nest lol
RDJ did a fantastic job bruh 😂 I forgot it was him watching while the movie until he said the iconic “I’m the dude playing a dude…” line shit was funny no lie
I was NEVER offended by RDJ's portrayal in Tropic Thunder! He's one of the funniest physical comedic actors of his/our time!
Tropic thunder was fugn golden…. wasn’t offended at all😁😁
I saw the movie and I cane in late so I never knew that he had switched his face color..I loved it and I'm a black American. Still one of my top 20till this day
Deon's face as he got the skinny on August... 😂 So much happening there. And he didn't say a word 😄😂
I love Tropic Thunder. It's all satire about the different Hollywood archetypes. RDJ was an immersive method actor who would forget who he was by the time filming, promo and the premiere wrapped, since he wouldn't break character until he "finishes the DVD commentary". Silly movie yet genius in its own way. I watch any time I see it on television. Good laughs from genuinely funny writers
Edit: Also, I've never heard Vlad laugh that hard
Black folks collectively ain't trippin off Tropic Thunder🤷🏾♀️
I'm the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude
😂😂😂 the funniest part 😂😂
August Alsina didn't just come out as being gay, what do you think he was doing with Jaden Smith. Y'all late 😂
😳
Probably the best take I've heard on the "slap". LMAO!
That was my intro to Robert Downey I legit thought he was black lmaoo
To have an issue with tropic thunder means we should also have an issue with the Wayne's brother's movie White Girls
It’s Deon’s “okaaaaay” face and nod @ 8:40 for me 😂😂😂…. We all know that’s the “if he like it, I love it” face! 🤣
Alsina coming out actually brings about more questions and theories and you can actually see them on Coles face 😂
Yep, Jaden is openly gay and it’s rumored that Will has experimented. This family dynamic just seems chaotic. Alsina may have been entangled with more than one person in that house. 🫤
@@keynoliviawow
Man Deon’s face when Vlad said August Alvin’s came out as gay was hilarious. That man’s face said 1000 words.
*Alsina
😭😭😭😭😭 yooooo too funny
Lmao...no bullshid
I just found this out from this video lol.
My jaw dropped and I am still laughing.
None of this, I knew before the slap either.
Like, seriously, that is some weird stuff.
My face when he said “I’m a comedian first and then Blk” and then a man. He subscribed to that nonsense. Before he’s a man , he’s a phony character and a crayon color FIRST?
I remember watching the movie with my friend he laughed so hard through the whole movie.
He was the one that dragged me into the living room to watch it.
He is black and said Downing Jr was genius!! Til this day he uses one of the famous lines in the movie!
That movie is funny as hell...i ddnt even realize it was rdj until the credits started rolling🤣🤣
That look by Deon when Vlad spoke on dude coming out gay......that look was like oh oooh new material!! Also.....Will is.....lol. Nevamind
The interviewer chats so much he forgets he's got a guest...
A whole rat's nest!! Crazy thing is, when the whole entanglement mess came out and I got to see a pic of August Alsina, the first thought I had was, "He looks gay!" 🤔
Prince looked gay, some say Obama & Michelle look gay, my neighborhood post man looks gay. WTF does looking gay even mean. Just your personal thought right? FOH with that bvllshit.
Robert Downey Jr famous line " you people " 😂 I thought it was academy award performance from him personally.
Tropic thunder will forever be one of the greatest comedies of my childhood
Bro, the more I think about this the more I think August Alsina ran through that whole house.
😭😭😭
😂😂😂😂
Come here, and give me your phone 😆 🤣. You are done for the day
😂😂😂😂😂now that I think of it, he prolly did.
Except willow. I think she was on a fast inside of an actual box with her boyfriend
Deon Cole belly laughing is great
August KNEW... Jada was gonna Tell It, so he beat he tooooo it😂😂😂
Chris is a h*o for that advice. Even Vlad was taken aback. You are BLACK FIRST/B1, Black man.
There was nothing wrong with RDJ and his act in tropic thunder because it wasn’t demeaning at all. I loved it.
Some of you guy's need to listen what is said at the end of this conversation, look at the expression on Deon Coles face
🤣🤣
"WHEN YOU PLAY FAMILY FEUD AT HOME, YOUR ANSWERS DON'T COUNT!" LMAO!!!
Something tells me August was in an entanglement with both Will and Jada
Facts bro
Cut it out
...or jayden and jada
Or Jaden, Will and Jada
Yoooo I was thinking the same thing!!!!
Will Smith is gay.
