The setup

MacGruber hires a new employee, Darrell, then keeps sabotaging their bomb-defusing missions with his clumsy racial remarks.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

Across three installments from Charles Barkley's January 2010 episode, MacGruber introduces his new employee Darrell and repeatedly mispronounces his name while asking for tools in dated jive slang as Vicky counts down to detonation. A later mission finds him in a dashiki after a trip to Africa, promising a holiday for his hero Martin Luther King Jr. before panicking at Darrell's handshake and macing him. Fresh from mandatory sensitivity training, he then stumbles through awkward euphemisms for a black pen, maces Darrell again and finally concedes that he is a racist just as the bomb explodes.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

Oh, like a white Darrell?

Funk me over that copper wire, outta sight.

He's got a gun!

Vicky, hand me that Chinese pen. That Asian pen. The yellow pen. I'm a racist.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
