The references to the OJ Simpson case and Bernie Mac as a black police officer who hates black people have also stood the test of time. As for the rest, some of it depends on your taste in humor, and some of it simply hasn't aged well.
There's a lot of humor in sight gags and exaggeration that almost reaches the gut laughs of a parody like Airplane! The parodies of stock characters in the "hood" movies of the '90s sometimes make it unclear what the target of the humor is supposed to be: the way these movies are written or the people themselves. In other words, while it's safe to give the Wayans the benefit of the doubt that they're obviously not making fun of welfare recipients, stronger and more thoughtful humor might have been employed instead of fridges with blocks of clearly labeled government cheese.
And jokes involving snipers killing innocent people don't seem all that funny anymore in a country with so many mass shootings. References to drinking 40s and smoking blunts are also beyond played-out by this point. Families can talk about parody movies. How do parody movies stand out on their own?

Tracey Cherelle Jones Dashiki as Dashiki. Chris Spencer Preach as Preach. Lahmard J. Craig Wayans Thug 1 as Thug 1. Kim Wayans Mrs. Johnson as Mrs. Vivica A. Paris Barclay. More like this. Watch options. Storyline Edit. We follow Ashtray as he returns to the place he grew up in and meet his father and his basket-case friends.
Crazy stuff happens. For example, Ashtray is older than his father and his best friend Loc Dog's grandmother is a trigger-happy old lady who blames her eccentric-looking kid for not being tough enough. Finally, the movie that proves that Justice isn't always Poetic, Jungle Fever isn't always pretty, and Higher Learning can be a waste of time.
Rated R for strong language, sexuality, some drug content and violence. Did you know Edit.
