Back when people of all races and political affiliations could gather together and enjoy great comedy.

I remember watching it in a packed theater in Tigertown in a crowd that was probably 60/40 white/black. And we all laughed our asses off.

How times have changed in 35 years.

That’s because we didn’t have cell phones yet.

I remember watching this movie as a young white kid without even noticing who was black and who wasn’t.

ever watch past the credits? to the scene about "taste the soup"??

COMEDY GOLD!!!

I tried that with a waitress once, who had forgotten my spoon. My wife freaked out and the waitress almost cried. Was funnier in the movie.

Would you believe me if I said nothing changed?

You just know the truth now.

A Man came around the corner and Hit me in the Chest.

I said “Hey Dr King”

He said “Oh I thought you were somebody else”
