all I have to say is. Cryme Tyme.
Guy on cell "hey man I haven't seen a starbucks in 5 blocks"
narrator "hey there's something tall black and smooth right behind you" "but it's no Mocha Late"
I had no idea what was going on untill i saw the WWE symbol pop up on the screen.
are we seriously about to see GANGSTAS in the WWE? I know it's been done but that was I.M.O a pure face promo.
"yeah yeah look mommy the big black thugs are robbing someone yeah" " I want their t-shirt"

This was explained last week that the videos are to be taken as a joke and not seriously. They probably wont even be heels, more like comedy faces.

Normally, I would hate on a gangsta gimmick, but these guys rule.

Hmm...The Highlanders needed Piper, and he was there.
Perhaps when Cryme Tyme makes their debut, they'll have New Jack in tow.

I actually thought that there was to much narration last night. I wanted more of Cryme Tyme.

Crime Tyme is racist without being funny. I think you've got it backwards. I don't see anything racist about it (but its damn funny). It's just mocking the retarded "thug" culture and lifestyle that so many people (both black and white) seem to be so obsessed with these days

I missed one? That's what i get for drifting off during the 6 man tag. I've been marking for the return of vignettes like this since I saw the Highlander's and their trip to 'Daddy's Motor Lodge'

No, it's my opinion. If it were a white guy and a black guy, it would be mocking the retarded thug culture. If they were two black guys, but from an affluent area, it would be mocking the thug culture. But these satirical characters are ACTUALLY from "The Hood," and therefore, live up to the stereotype they're meant to be mocking. Therefore, they're ACTUALLY mocking "thugs" as a black underclass racial thing, and hiding behind it by putting out these press releases. We can laugh and feel good about it because hey, it's just satire! But in reality what we're looking at is the simplest kind of ninja racism.
I just invented a term.
Also, don't get me wrong; racism can be REALLY funny. But the HAPPY WHITE VOICE announcer and the standard kind of subpar WWE writing just isn't funny enough to merit it.
WWE needs to stick with simple humor, not try to make meta-satire "simple." For example, King Booker is awesome because Booker is charismatic as hell, and speaks in such a ridiculous and anachronistic (and inaccurate) manner that it's awesome. Edge is often funny just because it seems like he's really INTO whatever he's saying. John Cena used to be funny because the raps were clever.
DX CAN be funny when they do the irreverent, nonsensical stuff, but all the poopie-penis jokes need to stop. That's really all Crime Tyme is; a big, black, poopie joke.
