But as a writer and an entertainer, it drives me up the wall to see the same rehashed no-thought garbage again and again, and now it's on the only show I really remember to watch.
It promotes ignorance and theivery, and it's all based around skin color. They're basically the Wayans Brothers of the WWE.

All I can say is the reason I enjoy them so much, like others on this very board, and the home viewers, is that it's all done a parodical manner, and I doubt there's that many impressionable young people who are going to watch Cryme Tyme's segments on TV and want to grow up to be thieves. It just doesn't happen.
