That's really all Crime Tyme is; a big, black, poopie joke. And remember kids, if your poopie is black, see a doctor immediately. |

And if it's green and black, we've got two words for you.

that narration is saving this thing. I mean, its a really good job. The guys are pretty good too, but that voice adds kinda like marvel comic theme to it.

By the way, seeing how this is a Cryme Tyme thread pretty much, can I just post my hope here that the music they play during these promo's isn't their entrance music? It's pretty horrible.

They need the narrater to be their manager.

"WANT SOME COFFEE, G?" WWE needs to stick with simple humor, not try to make meta-satire "simple." . I know you just said this, but it bears repeating; the funniest stuff is always the simplest. In my opinion, one of the funniest things ever is King Kong Bundy demanding that the referee count to five. A group of white, sweater vest-wearing thugs from the mean streets of Greenwich, Connecticut? That's funny. A group of Mexicans who drive lawn mowers to the ring? Why are stereotypes funny again? Oh, yeah, they're NOT. ("Juan Deere" is REALLY funny.) An old white guy talking like a thug is always funny. And that's where Cryme Tyme stops being entertaining and starts being blatantly racist. I hope that these guys are good wrestlers, because their gimmick will NEVER get over with me. Racial gimmicks are just not necessary. There's too much emphasis on the "entertainment" part of sports-entertainment in the first place. The most important entertainment is a good WRESTLING MATCH. |

Actually it's not even them that's funny, it's that guy narrating...he's hilarious. I have to agree "there's something tall,black and smooth right behind you but it's no mocha latte" ;D ;D ;D Comedy GOLD! Hec even the I haven't seen a starbucks in five blocks was gold. Now if only the narrator would be there to narrate DURING Cryme Tyme's matches, then that would be great. |

I just saw this weeks. It was HILARIOUS!
Seriously people, lighten up about it. It's not a serious portrayal of "thug culture" or however you say it. It's a joke. Sure it's not Dave Chappelle level of comedy, but it's pretty damn entertaining for the WWE and they make people laugh. I seem to remember a similar reaction to Mohammed Hassan's vintages with people screaming "THAT'S RACIST!" before they ever got a shot. If these two are as entertaining in the ring as they are in the vintages, they'll get over.
