PhilD1983 0 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 As pissed off as I was about your Phil Gordon comments, I don't think that your Jamaican impression was racist whatsoever - people are clearly way too sensitive and need to get a life. Also, your impression was a lot funnier than Dan Akroyd's, don't know why people are putting your acting/voice ability down by saying that his was better. Link to post Share on other sites
firesnakes 0 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I thought your bit was hysterical (albeit a bit silly). People need to lighten up. We need more silly in this world. Link to post Share on other sites
Su!c!deK!ngJT 0 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 How was that offensive, I thought that was pretty funny, especially the fact that his mom was in it, she is a great actress by the way. Also the impression of Scotty Nguyen was funny, by the way it was a bad impression, gotta work on that Daniel, but still it was some goofy video and if you find that offensive then you have no sense of humor. Trading Spaces is gotta be close to the better comedies out there, especially this part with Eddie Murphy, "Cause I'm a karate man, see! And a karate man bruises on the inside! They don't show their weakness. But you don't know that because you're a big Barry White looking ************!" Link to post Share on other sites
rgold79 0 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 if eddie murphy pretended to be white, that would also be offensive.He did. So for your viewing pleasure:http://youtube.com/watch?v=FpO7g9mLzlwI miss the 80's Link to post Share on other sites
nutzbuster 7 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Trading Places was so great...Eddie Murphy's best movie imo.Ok...a final observation. It's so addicting to be that guy who, when 99 out of 100 people say you did something good, you can't help to instead dwell on that 1 guy who said you sucked. I used to do it all the time. I think most people do..it's just human nature but oh man, it became a bad habit for me. I still get talked to about it (thanks Steve, Mark and others! ) and that has helped me stop doing it. I am much better now at blowing off the naysayers and bad beats. So screw the critics and haters bro! They are all jealous and oversensitive and were most likey dropped on their heads as infants.Looking forward to the next firestorm...er...I mean, blog. (btw, any big game play lately? The NBC Heads Up matches are coming soon and I'm wondering if you are practicing!) Link to post Share on other sites
KEVBO 0 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs08a4D0lgg Someone please explain to me, if you believe it is, why this is considered acceptable and what I did was blackface?I figure most people will "get it" but you're definitley going to have plenty of folks out there who will be offended. There a lot of folks out there IMO that are hyper sensitive and look for ways to be offended by anything that anyone does. I personally know people that seem to take every situation and look for a reason to be offended by it rather than take it for what it is (usually harmless). Plus society definitely allows for a double standard right now on who can do or say what. As a white dude you can have non white comedians imitate or make fun of white folks all they want, but the opposite is not true. People need to lighten the f*ck up! Like Bernie Mac said when he was telling jokes about white vs black people on the Kings of Comedy "jokes are jokes". As a white dude myself, I don't get offended in the least when comedians crack on white people and I usually laugh my *** off. Jokes are jokes. Just about anything, when done in the right context, can be funny.P.S. - you forgot the bit that Eddie Murphy did on SNL where he wore wore white make up and went around town acting like an old white Jewish guy. Funny as hell!! And if you ever want to see a funny as hell movie that does a great job of making fun of black and white stereotypes, then watch "Undercover Brother" . It's one of my top 5 fav's of all time. It has Eddie Griffin, Chris Kattan, Denise Richards, Dave Chappelle, Neil Patrick Harris, and Billy Dee Williams in it. - KEVBO - Link to post Share on other sites

1969_F85 0 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Offensive? I just watched the V-Blog and I thought it was funny as hell! Anyone that gets offended by this should move to a deserted island and shove a coconut up their a$$. Can't people just take this the way is was intended? I mean, Scotty might be the only one that has a right to be offended but he probably laughed his a$$ off also. In other words, STFU! Link to post Share on other sites
TheZodiac 0 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Didn't the Wayan brothers play white girls? Oh yes they did in "white chicks" Daniel that skit was funny, we Canadians are not racist. Can we please get back to talking and teaching poker? Link to post Share on other sites

PeterCrouch 0 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 That offended me because the "Swedish" girl was wearing lederhosen. Lederhosen is not a part of Swedish culture, it is German or Swiss. People are so ignorant, thinking all blonde Europeans are the same. By the way..it didnt offend me, it was wrong, but who the #### cares? Link to post Share on other sites
