If there was any justice in this world, John Witherspoon would’ve received a lifetime achievement Oscar before he died. I’m so glad I didn’t see this as a kid. I would’ve repeated Chris Tucker’s delivery of “you got knocked the fuck out, nigga” every damn day at school. I went to school with too many white kids, it would’ve been a problem.
Hilarious still. AND YOU KNOW THIS! MANNNNNNNNNNNNN!
