The setup

Two buttoned-up sportscasters call a high-stakes street dice tournament in a Brooklyn housing project hallway as if it were a televised championship.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

Commentators Bill and Rob host the eighth annual World Series of Dice from the Marcy Projects, introducing a field of players with glossy profile packages: the eye-patched Kansas City shooter Grits n' Gravy, the Far East champion Phyuck Yiu, the hot-tempered Leonard Washington and hometown favorite Ashy Larry. Larry gambles away money he took from his girlfriend's purse and is dragged off by her, Grits runs hot until a tense stare-down with Leonard ends in snake eyes, and the final is interrupted when local stick-up man Rodney "Quills" Dinkins robs the room, shoots the defiant Leonard in the leg and orders everyone to strip, while the commentators keep calling it like any other broadcast.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

What you need is some chapstick and a set of trousers.

I'm about to go from ashy to classy.

Go upstairs and put on some lotion.

Behind the scenes

The people who made it.

A little extra

Notes from the archive.

Leonard Washington first appeared in the season one sketch "Trading Spouses". Donnell Rawlings later reprised Ashy Larry outside the show, including on In the Flow with Affion Crockett.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
