I mean, I get maybe 98% of the jokes (one or two might sneak through), but I feel uncomfortable laughing because they are all based on stereotypes. Is this my white guilt showing or may I enjoy a movie anyway? Cuz y’all, my pleasure may only reflect my lousy taste in comedy.
It’s hilarious, and it’s really not primarily directed at a white audience. Like “Black Jeopardy!” it’s largely for African Americans to laugh at themselves. “Undercover Brother” has the added cleverness of being a really good spoof of blaxploitation film.
I mean, duh? 
But if one is aware and involved in pop culture the past 50 years…
I sat there with my daughter saying things like, “That’s a song title,” “That’s a movie title,” and, “Remember Malcolm in the Middle? He played Malcolm’s friend Stevie’s dad.”
“Duh. I have eyes.”
Great movie. Too many wypipo (excessively wy ones ) reviewing it.
I don’t know you, but the usual answer for questions starting with “Am I ___ ?” the answer is usually a resounding “YES, yes you are!!!”
;):smack:
I’m totally kidding, of course.
If laughing makes you racist, what was watching Sista Girl and White She-Devil in that shower on a loop make me?
Trick question! It makes me happy. Very, very happy.
Oh, by the way, that mayonnaise thing wasn’t comedy, that was truth.

I busted a gut laughing with the white guy and black guy broke out the popcorn to watch the chicks fight.
Undercover Brother was funny. There’s nothing wrong with stuff like that or Dave Chapelle, etc. It’s the handwringing over comedy that’s scary.
That movie is … solid!
For some reason, my favorite bit is him doing all the maneuvers in his car without spilling the soda. I don’t know why, but it just cracks me up.
Not a movie but… I was at work one day hanging out in the break area. It’s me (white) and two other black guys. One black guy says to the other: “what’s up with your hair man? You look’n like Buckwheat.”
I couldn’t help myself, I busted out laughing. After which, the guy who made the joke, gives me a deadpan look, and says: “Oh, you think that’s funny?”
Me: yes I do!
Then we both started laughing together. No worries by anyone.
No. And large amounts of Booty Call are hilarious also.
Edit: Also…The Danger Seekers part of Kentucky Fried Movie is still funny.
Orange soda, brother. I’ve lived in the netherworld between orange and Angie and grape soda, only to find myself in that netherworld of Fanta.
So, who here knows that Undercover Brother was written by John Ridley, who also wrote the screenplay for “12 Years A Slave”? (Ridley also used to do movie reviews for NPR on Friday mornings.)
I have a keyring with a little plastic Undercover Brother figurine that I keep my spare car key on. Being a middle aged white guy, I have to admit I do feel a little racist dropping that keyring off with the mechanic when I take my car in for service, so I usually try to find another one.
