In Living Color

[Bumrush99]

So I was walking through Best Buy the other day when I saw the box set for season two.. Figured it was worth the 29.99 purchase price (26 episodes)..
I started watching some of them last night, that show was pretty damn funny during its run and is still funny today. It was during the time were Fox was the new kid on the block and they had no problems doing skits that the other networks wouldn't dare touch..
The Men on Film, Homey the Clown, the handicapped superhero, the homeless bum, Firemarshall Bill, the edumacated black prisoners not making sense and EVERYTHING James Carey (before he switched it to Jim) did were hilarious. I also just got several seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm but I find this much funnier.

They used to play it on FX, but I haven't seen it in a long time. I love that show!

My job just hired this chick named Maun.

I've had the urge to yell "HEEEEEEY MAUN! GOT TO GO TO WORK!!"

I remember when the homeless guy grabbed the pickle out of the jar and took a bite out of it. I almost lost my lunch.

Yeah, it's pretty funny. Really dated now though.

It was great back in the day. Seemed to decline after Jim Carrey left, but was much better than SNL for a few seasons.

the jim carrey segments were funny, most of the rest was retarded.

Surprisingly a lot of the people they were making fun of are still around..

the best parts of In Living COlor were the music video spoofs.

these particular ones come to mind:

Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby
MC Hammer - Can't Touch This
Michael Jackson - Black or White
Sir Mix a Lot - Baby got Back
Shabba Ranks - Mr. Loverman
