Follow Jesus for he is coming soon! Turn from your sins and turn to God!
As much as I like the name “Black Time”, it just seems like a missed opportunity by not calling it:
*“Black In Time.”*
Right lol
Black to time
The sequel could be “black to the future”
@Tristen Hernandez Goat Tier Title right there!!😆😂
😂😂
Mark: “No slaves, No rapping”
Leland: “Okay this is new to me, Okay continue”
Mark: 🤨
BET when someone tells them Black Culture is more than hip hop and rap.
@Yakiv Popavich I think the boondocks said something similar to this as well.
😂😂😂😂😂
This is new to me🤣🤣🤣
"If you get split up, how are you going to remain a sports team" this had me dead
Dropped the bomb with tht one😂😂
I was done lmao
I’ve watched this video 100x and still laugh at this part
Lmao🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm surprised they didn't take it as far as prison, lmao
As a senior citizen black person, this evoked painful feelings for me b/c this is how it really was for all my life until middle age. We had so many great ideas for shows and movies, so many fine young black like you guys with dreams. We had to fight every inch to get acceptance and recognition, with so many of us crushed or exploited in the process. I'm so happy this young generation of blacks now, and other minorities, are finally living the American dream, glad I could see this in my lifetime. I'm so proud of you guys, keep going and growing.
AMEN!!! ✊🏽
Tell us more about the good ol' days, grandpa I heard you could buy a quart of milk for a nickel
@Justice Democrat Right Winger here ☝☝☝☝
@Justice Democrat Not only that, whippersnapper, but gas cost 74 cents. But seriously, only a fool doesn't listen to those who have experience.
"black people and slaves go hand in hand"
bro i feel so conflicted for laughing the way i did 😭😭😭😭
😭 💕💖💕omg
Same man, I laughed so hard ngl🤣🤣
I laughed like a Mf lmfao
imgladandrewgillumisnotmykang The were established to augment naval forces in the revolutionary war. You're thinking about the Barbary wars however, which did happen in the shores of Tripoli. Its a common misconception that Jefferson created the Marine Corp to fight these wars, however, the marine corps was established by Samuel Nicholas.
its always conflicting to hear the truth 😔😀
As a Latino, I kinda feel the same when they make movies about us too. Gang Violence, Cholos, Cartels & Narcos, struggles of Immigrant’s, or even basing personality off of just being Latino.
Facts
Yeah
Cause maybe it's the cliche who are perpetred by this victim mentality?? Stop complaining about being whatever so you be looked as whoever...
@chervyn lapince What are you talking about?
Latino here (puerto rican) i sorta feel ya. Altho i feel more about the immigration movies and like crossing the atlantic kinda stuff lol
“You’re a black group of athletes, facing adversity, in a different time period” 😂😂😂 Yall need yall own show
As a rap group traveling through time performing for different people 🤔?
lmfaoooo
When he threw the papers 🤣
The most accurate thing was him getting hit with a piece of paper and immediately overreacting and calling on authority. And the look on Mark's face is priceless!
Had me out of breath
That's assault, ain't no overreaction about that.
@greenyoshi119 well people suck and they'd probably win the lawsuit but they wouldn't get a lot of money as it's just paper but they would still get money and win the case as laws are like that and in the law he'd win as it is technically assult
For me it was him yelling "Pleasure doing business with you" lol
@Melvin Johnson so you'd scream if someone hit you with a piece of paper?
Bruh.....can we give some respect for these clips being done in all one shot with no cuts??? That is actually top level skit writing and performing. These dudes gonna be HUGE!
There are cuts. There is a scene near the end where mark throws the paper on the table and then it cuts to the table being empty.
They’re at 5 million...
they are huge
@ItsOracle pause
He's already kinda large at a couple million lol
Seriously!!! My sisters and I have this conversation all the time. If Black people in it, it gotta be about slavery, drugs, or adversity. Don’t nobody wanna see that depressing stuff all the time. Yet those are the types of movies and shows that get the awards😒. We like regular, lighthearted media too❤️. Thank you for drawing attention to this! Great skit!!!
Truth - and it's not all the networks fault - it's our fault. Back in the 40s and 50s yes, white Hollywood controlled the roles that blacks played in movies but here in the 21rst century Hollywood is full of black writers, directors, producers and executives. So now WE have more control over the types of stories and characters we choose to represent, yet 90% of the movies written and produced by us are the same tired tropes about the "black struggle" or "adversity" or have us playing the same stereotypical black character.
We're doing it to ourselves now.
White films win more Oscars because their characters and subject matter are more eclectic and not tethered to this obsessive need to give some social or political nod to the race of the the character.
That's something I like about Spiderverse, other than it being a masterpiece of animation and an amazing story, it got a black lead with issues unrelated to struggle and discrimination, like they ain't make him grow up in the hood or something, just some normal superhero stuff.
That’s exactly what folks want to see all the time. Hell, look at the back folks that become producers, same shows. Slave this, segregation that. It’s really sad tbh
@Reblaze444 Miles Morales is Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 not black.
Leland is so underrated. He's so damn funny.
"How you guys gonna remain a sports team" 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
0:24
He really is. Hes one of my favorites along with mark and des. So hilarious. They need to be on tv for real
I admire the Network representative’s restraint at NOT interpreting “Black Time” as serving time in prison.
Or being late
“Black people and slaves go hand in hand.” 😭
I was like...nigga.
someone just said the same thing but put a laughing emoji
Out of context you’d probably get beaten up for saying that
@Just a Sentient Mclaren P1 no shit😂😂
🤦🏿♂️😤
This shit maybe funny, but they really showing everyone the truth about networks.
Fr Why can't A Black guy be A Bruce Wayne or Tony stark.And be cool and interesting I'm tired of the broken household
@HOoDiE K Networks: "So what you're saying is, you want a black Batman?"
Facts
@BoneApplePie if they did that you know only the dad would be out of the picture to make it “believable”
@Evangelionl0vr nah they'd just have Bruce's mom and dad robbed for their chain in that alleyway instead lmao
I feel this shit so much. When I was an English Creative Writing major in college, I had this one prof who shot down my work and kept saying I should write about my minority experience. Like I’ll write about it when I write about it, but don’t reduce me to just that 🙄
They tried to marginalize your talent for some twisted subjective reason, and that’s prevalent and toxic throughout academia unfortunately
English creative writing prof? Ive dealt with one like that.. If it doesnt fit their narrow world view your ideas arent welcome
Hope you write ✍️ great stuff
That walk back after he said "pleasure doin business wit ya" was ICONIC 😂😂😂😂
That anger from Mark started feeling just a little too real lmao
Well it is how a LOT of media sees us. In comics and TV and movies apparently only black people can write or voice black characters. REALLY??? thats why the anger may have appeared genuine although I also know it's just a skit
doesnt help that some african americans writers cave into these things cause of money
Man I got mad at the end there.
@Cypher160 Manny You used the right terms AFRICAN AMERICAN
We as African are fed up with their content.
@Wrestling Anime 4life 😒 stop startin diaspora wars inna comments man
OK but for real, I would absolutely watch a show about time travelling rappers who have shows to do in Ancient Egypt, Victorian England, Feudal Japan, etc, while possibly solving Time Crimes along the way, and then at the end of each episode we get a thematically appropriate song. It would be dope.
So black Doctor Who XD
No
YESSS
“No slaves, no rappin”
“Ok this is new to me”😂
🤣😂
Lolllll
Lol
Leland is so good at what he does. I swear he the most underrated member
Dylan and Ben exist, you must not watch literally any of the streams
he is hilarious
Ben is the most underrated everyone loves leland
Na is the Indian guy
@Dan Schuster Dylan is really funny the little I've seen him talk but he doesn't have many big roles, he's usually the guy in the back or an anti-hero character or sometimes a round character. He's great but needs to be in more skits to get better recognition from fans
Mark: "A group of black friends. Good people."
Leland: "Great people"
lmfaoooo
I love how Mark was trying his best to keep it respectful at first. The way he genuinely looks through his script to see if he wrote "slaves" ahywhere XD
This is basically true for any group in fiction, especially marginalised groups, and it's so boring.
It's like people can't just be a well written character partaking in a good story, if they're any kind of minority. They always have to be defined by their "minority status".
This is how Disney are with movies. 100%
I have a feeling he actually pitched a tv show and this is how it went.
You’s a fucking genius bro there is no way it didn’t go down like this.
No it’s just a skit ur thinking too deep
@Zaki there skits on based on shit that hapoens
@Ya Father well skits are exaggerated to make it more entertaining and whatnot and can also be a bunch of different experiences mixed into one, whether or not the people who made the skit actually experienced it.
Nothing like this happens in the real world dude, get off social media Jesus Christ😂
I think this is the problem I'm having with all forms of black entertainment. Everything has to be stereotyped. I was starting to think I'm self-hating because I prefer other people stuff but then I realize I enjoy black stories when we are not boxed into the same roles over and over
The problem with all shows is that a particular “type” is placed on the audience to make the most money.
That’s why even if you as an individual have an interesting idea, it will get cut by investors
@IPFreeley Ugh those black trauma contents
A rap group performing through history is something I would watch.
Epic rap battles of history
@B0nkeror +
@B0nkerorEpic Rap Battlers of History
This is hands down one of their best skits ever! 😂
I would totally watch the first three seasons of Black Time, then skip seasons 4 and 5 when the network changes show runners and it becomes stereotypically cheesy. But then follow it again for the last 4 episodes of the 6th and final season
😁😁you have given this a whole lot of thought.
No lies detected
The office?!
Soooo, Community?
@Chanelle Hey now. The Office was solid right up to the end. And by the end, I mean when Steve Carell left.
This honestly sounds like a potentially great show. I would love to work on something like that some day
I ain’t gone lie Leland’s acting here was hard asf. His attitude towards the situation was making me mad too😂😂😂
“SECURITYYYYY”
Lowkey, Leland is the best actor next to Mark and maybe Desmond.
Hell yea , 🤣
I am sorry this is new to me. lol
bro, i just realized I don’t know any of their names
I LITERALLY SCREAMED at the first joke (and kept laughing after). Fantastic job both of you!!! Comedy has extra bite when people are acting out real situations like this, you can SENSE it through the screen
I can't imagine how frustrating that has to be. You turned it into another funny sketch, though. "Pleasure doing business with you....AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Made me laugh out loud.
"Black people and slaves goes hand in hand." That's the end of the meeting for me. I take my script, and quietly stand up, and I leave.
You guys have millions and millions of plays and hilarious content. Please creating content because your show is brilliant. Networks knows you guys would take over
This is such a good sketch. And you know what, I hope someday you actually make Black Time according to the original pitch, it sounds awesome.
"Robots, dinosaurs, Aliens.."
"Slaves! Right?"
"We're going through time with like I said Dinosaurs, Aliens, Robots.."
"As a rap group?"
"So we go through time and we gotta fight bosses and what not."
*"Like childhood trauma?"* 😆🤣
This part had me dying he was hella confused he looked down at his paper like “ did i say slaves ?” 😂🤣💀
Surprised he didnt say segregation 😪
Jon To ?????
Yes we watched the same video lol
@Leonard Faulkner he’s just restating what he found interesting he didn’t ask if you watch the video smh this isn’t tik tok
This is so accurate. They always try to go with some trope when it comes to people. We just want want solid entertainment with good characters and story.
This is mad accurate but also Black Time sounds like it would be a good ass show. Who y’all think would be casted in it?
I don’t know his real name but definitely jamal from on my block.
I know a bunch of white people who would work perfectly
RDC World duh!
@J Lupus it’s black time there can be white people in it but there prob not gonna be main characters
@LB nah man it’s all good, just get them some makeup and a du rag and they’ll be the next Wu Tang Clan.
"youre a group of black athletes facing adversity in a different time period" LMAO
After watching Falcon and the Winter Soldier, I can confirm this is accurate
Really? What happened??
@Wrestling Anime 4life Dont want to spoil it completely but Sam Wilson's storyline revolved HEAVILY on the fact that he was black. I mean heavily. And I'm torn about it bc it makes sense due to the climate and how Wilson was raised but at the same time it was so exhausting constantly being reminded that every black fictional character 3ill always deal with racism and have their entire story revolve around racism. Can never have a character that just vibes in their story
@Chyanne McKeller Argh.. I knew they would tackle those issues but come on just let him be a hero not a BLACK hero.
I'm soo scared for blade consider that they mentioned the actor religion, a Muslim, is going to play a role in the movie, so scared
@Wrestling Anime 4life Meanwhile another Spawn movie has been in development hell for decades at this point. Spawn counts…he was black before he got burnt to a crisp.
@Wrestling Anime 4life The fact that they' re casting a muslim actor is great for Blade tbh. But yeah I 100% agree. I understand the importance of having minorities being leads in media. I spent years of my early childhood reading books with only white characters. It's so weird bc in the 90s there were plenty of black shows where the lot didnt revolve around them being black. it was a show about a family that just so happened to be black. it seems like we have regressed since then. Now we get black shows where the entire plot is they're black and the racism and prejudices they face. Like just give me black dragon slayers and wizards, I don't have to read another book about racism. That's the only books we have about us.
"No slaves, no rapping."
"That's new to me"
That broke me😭
Black character: *exists*
Producer: no father, struggling artist with a basketball scholarship with a baby monma and a mother who cannot afford the lights so he is also a crack dealer IT IS!
also suffered persecution and was tortured as a salve at a young age!
also a upcoming rapper
Been to jail 5 times
all replies accurate
With a Biracial love interest 🤦🏿♂️We sick of it
This could have and SHOULD have been a REAL GENUINE SKETCH if not a whole episode of a show…
I would watch the living hell out of a show that featured RDCWorld, Griffy, CalebCity, Cilvanis and Lenar. There are more, but these are the ones that stick out to me the most. Even if it's a mini-series with each episode being 15 minutes long.
jidion gotta be in there too
Dont forget HaHa Davis, Big Fella
To be honest, I have seen this a lot in black television shows that have to use the same cliches like we always have to be in the Atlantic slave trade or in the ghetto and not focusing on anything differently
I like the older hood movies since they have a charm but that basically gives in the stereotype for brain dead writers to recycle the same concept just in a higher resolution and not try anything new with unique ideas.
The fact that they did this all in one take says something 👏🏽
“Ok, this is new to me.” It’s like a double shot of sarcasm since I know they’re both in on it. I love this, more please.
“Black people and slaves go hand in hand” that’s really how networks and studios really be viewing every single black film/show/casting that they do. Not all black stories in the entertainment industry have to be about black trauma
Edit: some of y’all in the replies are wilding and saying some questionable stuff so I’ll say this: stories about black trauma is more than just slavery. There’s also segregation, police brutality, and a ton of other stuff black people have to deal with. I’m not saying those stories are completely bad because they serve to educate but it becomes tiring and counterproductive when every show or movie that features black people is about black trauma. All love to y’all and RDC. Real Dreamers change the world🤘🏾❤️
seriously for real dude
So true man 💯
black trauma ? no black person who was enslaved is still alive lol
@OV S you liked your own comment
@OV S :/
Hey! If the RDC team wanted a show they could get it. These guys are talented as fuck. I would love to see them do a feature project (Movie roles/writing/consulting, TV show, or even an all out Clip-Share Special)
the way his enthusiasm drops dramatically every time the dude cuts in 🤣🤣🤣
Yo!! Actually this tv series idea is very good, I hope y’all can actually make this happen
Dawg lmaoo y’all are hilarious man. I appreciate y’all energy and what y’all contributing to the world man. It’s a blessing fr.
That Leland cut scream at the end was perfect 🤣
Wait no slaves, no sports, no childhood trauma, no missing father figure, and no rappers?
*How are they black?*
They probably didn’t vote for Biden that’s why
@BeastSoundz 😂
I just realized this is legit how they fucking made cyborg from teen Titans. He was a black football player before he lost his body.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
A good laugh before zzz. These guys never miss 😆😴
Much respect bro you super talented. You need your own skits on a black comedy network.
Lmao idk how y’all got this in one take without laughing. Props, had me cracking up
Leland's scream at the end had me wheezing😂
This is hilarious and even though I don't agree on some of the content, you guys literally try to break boundaries. These stereotypes black Hollywood and entertainment follow. They so afraid of being blackballed. Can we love other stuff than the typical tropes? Good job guys! 👏👏👏👍👍
Why is this so accurate 😂why can’t we just have a black actor without trauma or the hood struggle. Just a good adventure story.
Craig of the creek
@Rose Fever ehhhhh CotC doesn't really hit that hard as a black story
@WhoBlah it slaps for me, it's sort of becoming an anime
@WhoBlah Show got pretty good as it went on.
01:18 “This is new to me.” Got me good! Almost choked on my breakfast :-/. Love y’all’s content!!
No matter how successful ya'll get (because its obviously already happening) I hope yall never let anyone change this..
Now that the new Emmitt Till movie, as well as little mermaid, is coming out, this really hits different.
The reception of most white folk, and even some black folk, is actually like this, except its not a scripted joke, its real life and its just.... damn why can't we have nice things lol
Yall can say what you want but a black rap group travelling through time and performing for different people in different periods would be a sick show
"Doctor Wu"
This is so true! Literally, every tv show or movie with black people has to do with athletes (specifically football or basketball), gangs, drugs, slaves, broken households, 'the struggle', etc. Why don't black people get fantasy or sci-fi tv shows?! Where are the tv shows that show black engineers or scientists discovering or making something amazing?! And can we talk about how whenever there is a tv show, movie or even commercial, they never show fully black women or black women at all? 🤨
Mark lowkey a good actor. His facial expressions be on point
not even lowkey
He came a long way
Give leland his respect too lol
Him and Leland
Low key? That key high af.
Wait is it just me or did Leland actually have a good idea with the rap group going back through time and performing to different groups of people
Im pretty damn sure this happens more often than people really think when someone pitches these writers a REAL/ORIGINAL idea... shit sucks. This video has some truth behind it
Pretty sure it's 100% truth. Because what black show exists that doesn't focus on the black experience?
aye man you just earned a new subscriber thanks bro shit is great thank you for puting these out into the world keep it up this is top notch. i really respect and appriciate you for what your doing.
😭😭😭😭🤧🤣🤣🤣 stay up fellas!! Keep your grind going and push each other!! Been a fan since the Lebron skits 1st hit! Then get the stamp from him on top... Salute Love and Respect ✊🏾🙏🏾💯
BRO! Mark trying to pitch something I would actually watch and the network trying to mess it up 😂
The way he said "SLAVES" with such confidence like it was a given 😂😂😂
Cuz it is duh
@Sheep bruh
The way he started screaming when he came back! 😂😂😂😂
This is definitely Dave Chappel Show level comedy. Love it!
I must say, it took balls for them to do a satire of a pitch meeting. Pretty pretty tricky. Unless they didn't know (highly unlikely). In that case, it probably was super easy, barely an inconvenience.
"I am just calling it how I see it" I could feel it. He really didn't see what he did wrong. I know he already has a group of Gewish writers lined up lol.
This is probably RDC's best skit.
“Broken households” why he aim for the soul 😭😭
Nigga talkin fax tho ong
@Sheep Fr they can never Make cool stuff for us.Were always in Tragic racial stuff 😤 😒
@HOoDiE K They do that to keep is feeling like we're oppress when we're free. That's why I don't watch none of that stuff.
😂😂😂 big facts
Omg he really did... he tried it!!!!
I think I speak for millions of people around the world when I say I’d watch the shit out of a show about time travelling rappers.
This Clip-Share series is what needs to be pitched to a network.
This is totally accurate. As a creator myself, I always wonder why anything we do or are in as black people it has to be around generic topics. Like they always gotta include slavery or rap. I was watching Black Lightning this year and the same thought came to me. I ending up having to take a break from the series. History is important but if you keep bombarding any black fictional shows with oppression and slavery etc it gets tiresome. Where's the escape? Where's the refreshing content? All other races = shows. Black people = black shows.
The fact that these guys did this video in one shot is insane
The subtle jokes got it 😂😂😂
“We’re going through time with like Dinosaurs, Aliens, and Robots”
“So it’s a Rap group”
lol
that was funny asf Wraco💀
Imma be honest i'm doing self promo with this comment
ZEKE ALMOST DIES BUT GETS SAVED BY YMIR FRITZ THEN HANGE FINDS LEVI WHO SURVIVES. MARLAY ATTACK PARADISE EREN DESTROYS REINER AND PORCO AND ZEKE COMES TO HELP THEN GABI SHOOTS EREN
How did you already get 290 likes bruh
the funniest part that got me was when Mark threw the paper at Leland and then Lenland started screaming, but then says good doing business with you.
If mark pitched his idea to A24 they green light in on a heartbeat. They do creative stuff all the time.
This is pure brilliance! Great acting too!
This my favorite skit of all time from these guys. 🤣🤣
The crazy part is this was an actual show. It was called Timewasters 2017-2019. They were a Jazz Band. Don't know if they had seen it before the skit but pretty much the whole pitch happened in the show.
That build up and the ending doesnt disappoint! I cant stop laughing.
Man Leland asking “Are you serious?!” Then explaining why it was the same thing really had me crying laughing
Man you hit the spot it really feels like some shows are playing the minority olympics
Accurate on both sides. Maybe if we stop trying to make everything about being black, then it would be received differently.
the ending got me so bad 😂😂😂😂
"So no Slaves and no Rapping"
"This is new to me"
😂😂😂😂😂
You copied
@Nataliya Remeshivska Yeah they were saying which part was their favorite
On bro💀
That part 😂
The acting is SOOOO good. This has got to be the best comety skit channel on youtube!
It's Mark's faces for me...got me hollerin' every time XDDDDDD
That "Black people and slaves go hand in hand" line killed me. 😅
