If Martin came out today rather than the early 90s would heads say it was cooning?

i loved the show, but to answer your question...long as someone isn't from the south or based in the south, their coonery gets a pass from bgol's non home or car owning ngz not in south.

Somebody needed to take a shot at Northerners to help him get his day started.

Im in NY til Feb. I love it! But I see more ignorance out here than atl, the youth just like atl, but theres more old heads actn like their 20, than I've ever seen. I guess out here 40 is the new 20. if I get another submission from a nga over 35 im walking.

But the women, vibe in Harlem(i spent past 3nights out in Harlem), its unbelievable, I truly love it! But keep it real, the trends good and BAD come from this bitch.

Your poll question and answers are conflicting a little.

^^^^^^
Exactly

just disregard the YES and NO...I can't change the poll unfortunately

<del>Yes</del> - Martin was a good show then and would be today

<del>No</del> - Martin today would be considered coonery/buffoonery

It would still work but I would wince more today than I did 20 years ago

I thought that shit was cooning in 1992

Never had a problem with Bruh Man in fact he was one of my favorite characters.....
It was that damn cross dressing shit I couldn't stand....Didn't like when Gina did it either even though that was Pam sexiest episode

My pops era was Sanford & Son,Flip Wilson & The Jeffersons

Mine is Martin.

If you dont laugh at least once in this 4 minutes, you might need a lobotomy. Because you are taking life way to serious & will die in your early 50's of anger & resentment.

4 minutes 38 seconds, relax.

I smirked during Jerome's intro, but the rest was dreadfully unfunny.


Like I said, Martin has it's classic moment's/episodes, but a lot of the content is corny by today's standards.

You smirked on the intro only ...

Tommy worked at the black building with no windows across from the old white building with no windows he used to work at. You don't remember when Martin picked him up from work?

And he got Cole a gig working with him. He still waitin' to find out when he starts though.

Martin got a pass cause it was about a successful young brother ... In a healthy relationship... Who kept it true to his community and didn't 'sell out'

These days that depiction of success isn't so hard to find so you can't see it in the reruns... But thats why I looked past the negative stereotypes on the show... The people in charge feed us self hate in creative ways which is reason #482 I dont watch TV

By simply turning off the TV.. You can free yourself of that "matrix"

Not an attack. If you take it personal, so be it.

I find humor is relatable on a lot of levels. Even in those I wouldnt necessarily seek out. I can see the humor in the point being made.

Example : The Adam Carolla thread.

The picture in your sig is a representation of something to you. Not me, thats why I say maybe, because your experience & personal pref dictate that.
