    But most people hate it because the show gives crackers a taste of their own medicine. Everyone laughed at minstrel shows for centuries

    You know, I remember the minstrel scene from Mad Men, and one thing that stood out was how utterly unfunny it was. Just an incredibly cringe-inducing grotesquery.

    White Chicks was a minstrel show, but still managed to have some high notes. Velma is just badly written. I mean, having Shaggy turn to the camera and do a knowing wink while saying "I would never do drugs"... in 2023? After having a bunch of naked 16 year olds wrestling in the girl's shower? Who could this show possibly be for?

    It's like Mindy Caly decided to psychically manifest the worst parts of the 1990s.

      I wanna see "White Guys"--a movie where two black women LARP as mayomen infiltrating a klan meeting or an gaming convention (same thing at this point)
