no banjo... sorry...

I never saw FOL2, just the last episode only because I was drunk and my cousin made me watch it... although I did watch the 1 season, so that prepared me for the madness... New York looked like she had a drug problem... and the reunion was a holy mess... when they started going around the room and I started hearing all the girls' names, I knew further madness was about to ensue... luckily there was porn on some other channel and that got my attention... by the time I switched bak to the reunion it was over... and LaLa seemed to be pointing daggers at the camera... kikikiki

I can hear that Sambo laughing that same Flava Flav cackle.

#**681** 10-30-2006, 06:50 PM

I don't care about that thing not hitting New York. I really wish it hit Lala instead.

DSTCHAOS · #**682** 10-30-2006, 06:57 PM

I wish LaLa had hit Buckwild. Buckwild is a phony.

I like Flava Flav. He's musically talented and a funny guy. He's not even ugly to me--not FINE but not ugly b/c I've seen much worse. Not someone I'd date but he probably has a genuine heart and a swagger--and it looks like he has good hygiene even if his face is greasy sometimes.

If people don't like his grown ass acting the way he does or they think he's a Sambo (which is funny b/c that's like telling black comedians that they are coons whereas white comedians can do the same type of comedy and be called comedic geniuses) then DON'T WATCH THE SHOW.

^^^ Flav gets his swagger on in a hot pink tuxedo with extremely long tails and a top hat to boot. If that's not some straight coonery....

I see what you're saying about him being a decent guy because I can appreciate the type of love he wants to give to someone, and I can dig his persona when he's laidback. That still doesn't dismiss him being who he is.

A lot of black comedians aren't seen by a widespread national audience on a weekly basis as Flav was seen on VH1 three times on Sundays and innumerable reruns through the week. They all might be cooning, but Flav showcased women calling each other b****es every week just to be on TV. It's a travesty to watch, but it's our guilty pleasure. I can still be observant and honest while indulging in my guilty pleasure. I observed that Flav looks like Sambo. Just look 4 posts up.

I don't watch this show on a regular specifically for the fact that it is so popular based on played out stereotypes.... of Flav (i.e. sambo) and of black women (ie. loud, ready to fight, ghetto, money-hungry). Shoot, even Dave Chappelle had enough sense to realize that he'd gone past comedic effect into bafoonery. If they can pacify people with show into thinking that is just "comedy", goodness knows what is next.

And this is not only national TV, but VH1's highest rated show?!?

And yes, I won't be tuning into whatever how mess of a show is next either - except for maybe the first episode so I can see with my own eyes the travesty. lol

So? He's doing his thing. Does it automatically make a black person a coon or a sambo just because they are doing something against the grain or something that you deem ignorant? If so, then you're conforming to white folks' labels.

Why can't Flav just be an eccentric, old ass man who plays up some of the more outlandish parts of his personality to make that paper? He's certainly not the only one, black or white.

I don't find Dave Chappelle funny except for his Rick James, Charlie Murphy, and Prince skits.

I think folks should create a "comedy criteria" so that comics of all races can adhere to it. It's certainly unfair to only hold black comics to the standard, even if they seem to be playing up stereotypes of black men and women. Italian mobster movies play up stereotypes too which is one reason why they're so popular, just like Flava of Love is.

Buckwild looks like Joey Jerimiah from Degrassi High.

ChanelLover · #**689** 10-30-2006, 07:54 PM

At least Nibblez doesn't look as dirty... as she usually does.

The reunion show was TRASH!!!!! I'm upset that:

1. They didn't show Flav meeting Deelishis's daughter Jasmine. She was a cutie pie on the previews,
2. Beatuful opened her cold sore having mouth to down Krazy and her opportunistic motives, knowing good and dayum well she was an oportunist herself. I'm still baffled that nobody on the cast knew she was an extra in "Roll Bounce" looking to get her face out there to get cast in more movies. If that ain't the pot calling the kettle black, I dunno what is.....

I wish Bootz woulda laid New York's tranny azz out on the floor. After all the BS she talked about some of the rest of the girls- especially about Deelishis's mother- and Flav's kids, she shoulda got it! Plain and simple.....
