So this was an idea I came up with in my writing for tv class today when we had to brainstorm three non-fiction shows:
“‘Black Eye for the White Guy’
This will be a hilariously racist reality makeover show based on the movie “Hitch” in which Will Smith’s character teaches Kevin James’ character how to be cool, because Will Smith is black and therefore cool. It will also be based on the show “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” in which a bunch of gay guys teach a straight guy how to be cool, because gay guys are cool.The team of three black guys will consist of Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson, and Mike Tyson (or “The Three Wise Mikes”). Michael Jordan will provide fashion tips, Mike Tyson will provide comic relief by saying whatever comes to his mind, and Michael Jackson will probably cover his face and hide in a corner somewhere. The purpose of this show will not be so much to actually help anybody, but more for pure comedy.
The beginning of the show will focus on a white dude in his twenties or thirties who has trouble with the ladies and can’t dance (obviously). The honkey will then be introduced to the Three Wise Mikes and they will begin to make him over. Michael Jordan will first teach him how to shoot a jumper, then pick out new clothes and a new hairstyle (for some reason he always picks a shaved head). Then it’s off to the dance floor with Michael Jackson, who will teach him how to moonwalk and grab his crotch, along with little boys’ crotches. It will all end with the subject going three rounds in the ring with Tyson, which is where the name “Black Eye for the White Guy” comes from (another possible name is “Severed Ear for the White Guy”).”
My teacher said, “It might be hard to get that one approved…”
Also, when she handed it back she had circled the words “hilariously racist” and wrote “you might want to re-word that…”
Edit: I just googled “Black Eye For the White Guy” and as I expected, I wasn’t the first one to have this idea. I found it hilarious, but personally I think my idea is better because anything with Mike Tyson is automatically comedy gold.
Okay last one I swear
You’re so insensitive. This was clearly a comparison of two blues-pianists. There’s more to these men than their disabilities! GOSH! Why can’t everyone see that???(via morebetter)
OH HELL NO!
It’s not like I dont think that Stevie Wonder has any less talent than Ray Charles, but I dont think this is fair for two of the most talented musician in human history to be compared to each other just because they’re blind. Ok now my head hurts.
Yeah, it’s obviously because they’re both black.
I made this about 3 months ago and had it posted on my old blog but forgot to move it over to tumblr. It was for my Writing for TV and Radio class, which I was reminded of because my final project (a 15-page script for The Office) is due in about 3 hours. Wish me (good) luck!
