Comedy about blacks is a separate genre of cinema. The jokes in them are very specific, as a rule, below the belt, the heroes do not shine with intelligence, and the action of the film takes place in the neighborhoods that are controlled by gangster groups.
Best Black Comedy of All Time
A real classic of the genre of comedies about blacks is rightfully considered the 1996 film - "Do not threaten South Central while drinking your juice in your neighborhood." A young American visits his father, who, by the way, is only two years younger than his son. They pride themselves on looking like the same age with their dad. In Los Angeles, in South Central, the guy is waiting for an acquaintance with his family and he is faced with a choice of who to become in the future: a bandit or a decent "black American citizen".
The film turned out to be very funny and original. Here, in a comedic form, it tells about life in the "black quarters", about the order that prevails on the streets of the ghetto. Over time, the film has not lost its relevance and you can watch it over and over again.
Comedy with Eddie Murphy
Eddie Murphy is a special comedian. His jokes are on the verge of a foul, and the films in which he is filmed touch upon the urgent problems of the black population of the United States.
"The Nutty Professor" (1996) was a real benefit for this wonderful actor. Here his mastery of reincarnation reaches a new level, delighting the audience. Professor Sherman Clark is an intelligent and well-mannered overweight man. He is hopelessly in love, and it is love that makes him try risky experiments on himself. And now, from a good-natured fat man, Dr. Sherman begins to turn into an arrogant and self-confident womanizer. Two completely opposite personalities live inside the professor, and who will prevail in the end
