      Sam Grossman, dancing, with the hairy arms and big hands, should have his own franchise.

        From what I understand everything about that whole character is entirely Tom Cruise’s original creation.

          Community wasn’t even blackface though, that’s what made the whole Netflix removing the episode thing even stupider.

          IASIP is IASIP and it would be wrong for the show not to have some very offensive racial jokes.

        There’s an episode of an old sitcom called Gimme A Break I would recommend. A white kid did blackface in front a bunch of black people, and the hard-r n-word was spoken uncensored by Nell Carter.

        The DC character Amanda Waller was modeled after her both physically and force of will, iirc.
