The premise
Here’s the bit.
In a send-up of televised movie-review shows, Dave Chappelle introduces Paul Mooney, who sits between two upbeat co-hosts in a row of theater seats. When they recommend Gone with the Wind as a timeless romance, Mooney rejects its heroine, sides with Mammy and points out that Hattie McDaniel was kept away from the premiere. He reduces Barbershop to a cover for drug dealing, and when the co-hosts start on The Last Samurai he groups it with other Hollywood films that make a white star the hero of someone else's story, ending with a pitch for an absurd film of his own starring Tom Hanks.

our first film is Gone with the Wind. This film is an epic romance centering around Scarlett O'Hara, a damsel in distress during the Civil War. It is a must-own, must-see movie. I highly recommend it.

I couldn't agree with you more. I've actually seen Gone with the Wind 13 times since I was 10 years old. No kidding.

You must be on crack. I don't think we've seen the same movie. I thought Scarlett was a hoe because she went to bed with everybody but Mammy. I love Mammy. Mammy was the best. The best scene in the movie is when Mammy told the white people, get off my poach, white trash. I stood and I applauded. I loved every bit of it.

I liked Mammy, though. I thought she was great. I thought she had a great role.

Do you know in real life, it was Hattie McDaniels. They wouldn't let Mammy go to the opening.

Barbershop is a smart comedy about a day in the life of a black barbershop on the south side of Chicago. It is owned by Ice Cube and inhabited by a colorful cast of characters who bicker with one another in various hilarious ways. Recently, a sequel was made.
