Homey D. Clown was surprisingly sparingly applied to In Living Color. "What if Paul Mooney was a clown?" is a simple and effective concept, and ILC didn't lapse into its B game with him.
Wow, an old timer at work has been saying variations on 'Homie don't play that' the whole time we've been working together and I had no idea that it was a reference, I just thought he was being racist. Now I know he was being racist AND making reference to a TV show from thirty years ago.
