*The joke here is that The Wayans Brothers are so unfunny that Pauly Shore seems funny by comparison.

That explanation is really giving it the Wayans touch Paul.  Because if something is funny, it must be funnier if you squeeze every last drop of humor out of through repetition and making the joke really obvious.  Taking things to the extreme and then past it.  That's what those hilarious Wayans brothers do.  And you did that in your post, almost as if in tribute to them.  That's why it was funny.  Because you explained things to a ridiculous extent.  You used the funny like a hammer between the eyeballs.  And that's what the Wayans brothers do.  Which was funny.  To explain than in the same way the Wayans brothers would.  That way. Which was funny like Wayans brothers -- what you did.

I've been to a Pentecostal church and watched that scene.  It's hard to keep a straight face, but it's pretty hilarious to watch.

I was a young teen, and hadn't ever seen or heard of anything like that.   I was cool with the singing and clapping, but the shuddering, arm waving, and gibbering invoked creeping terror.

Well?

Paul doesn't have to kiss and tell, because he has pictures. He can kiss and slideshow.

I must add that she was very insistent.  She brought the movie over to my house and got angry when I told her I didn't want to watch it.  But she must have believed that I would have to change my opinion once I actually saw it because she brought it over again the next day. 

Here it is condensed down to 7:30 seconds of the best stuff.  Most of this shit had her howling.

Kinda like how these days TBS stands for "Tyler's Black Sitcoms."

Jesus, really! I saw a promo for his sitcom that claimed it was the #1 cable sitcom of all time (not that there's a ton of competition) but watching the promo I wondered, does anyone, anywhere, think that shit is funny?

I just found out that Tyler Black existed like last week. I'm still not sure who he is or why's he's famous, but I now recognize that I should know his name. For some reason.

I think you mean Tyler Perry.  Wikipedia says Tyler Black is a wrestler (though knowing Cort, maybe he does mean that guy).

He's done a bunch of movies that have been hits in the African-American community, but white folks hardly know about.

Yes, Tyler Perry. I have heard of Tyler Black, too but I also don't know anything more than his name.
