When Black Twitter Brought Laughter To Serious Movie Scenes

When Black Twitter Brought Laughter To Serious Movie Scenes 
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Black Twitter, known for its witty commentary and creative humor, developed a knack over the years for finding laughter in the most serious of movie scenes. While films like The Color Purple tackled heavy topics and deliver powerful performances, Black Twitter was known for turning them into hilarious memes and GIFs. Let’s take a look at some of Black Twitter’s most irreverent movie moments.

For Colored Girls

146 Views

From For Colored Girls to Precious, some notable movies have become the subject of laughter from the Black Twitter community:

‘For Colored Girls’

Tyler Perry’s 2010 film For Colored Girls delves into the lives of several Black women facing various hardships, including infidelity, STDs, and domestic violence. 

One scene that has been transformed into a meme features Janet Jackson’s character confronting her husband about his sexuality, asking, “Are you gay?” His response, “Ain’t nobody bending me over,” sets the stage for Jackson’s character’s witty retort, “So you doing the bending?” This clip is often used humorously when playfully questioning someone’s sexual orientation. 

‘Precious’

The 2008 film Precious follows the life of an overweight teenager named Precious, played by Gabourey Sidibe. 

While the film is frequently targeted for “fat” jokes, certain scenes have also become the source of memes. In one instance, Precious steals a bucket of fried chicken and hilariously runs down the street. Another memorable scene is when Precious’ mother, played by Mo’Nique, confronts a social worker with the line:

“Since you got your degree and you know every f*cking thing.” 

These moments from the film continue to generate laughter among Black Twitter users.

‘Life’

The 1999 comedy film Life, starring Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence, revolves around their characters falsely accused of a crime and sentenced to life in prison. The movie has provided Black Twitter with numerous clips for memes, highlighting its comedic moments that stray from the main plot. 

Some notable scenes include Lawrence’s character vehemently exclaiming, “Ain’t nobody trying to hear that bulls*it,” and Bernie Mac’s iconic line, “I da pappy.” One scene that stands out is Murphy’s character engaging in a fight after being asked, “You gon’ eat yo cornbread?” 

‘The Color Purple’

The 1985 classic film The Color Purple addresses serious themes such as racism, misogyny, and domestic violence. 

Despite the film’s gravity, one line has become a popular parody within the Black Twitter community. Oprah Winfrey’s character, in her memorable performance, exclaims, “All my life I had to fight.” The line has been humorously referenced in other movies, television shows and even by Kendrick Lamar in “We Gon Be Alright.”

‘The Family That Preys’

Tyler Perry’s 2008 film The Family That Preys showcases two rival families entangled in drama before a wedding. 

While most of the movie is dramatic, a particular scene features Sanaa Lathan’s character being slapped by her husband upon revealing her son’s father is from a rival family. This clip is often used as a reaction video or in discussions on Black Twitter. 

‘What’s Love Got to Do With It’

The 1993 biopic What’s Love Got to Do With It chronicles the tumultuous relationship between legendary singer Tina Turner and her abusive husband, Ike Turner. 

Black Twitter frequently references a scene in which Ike, portrayed by Laurence Fishburne, tells Tina, played by Anglea Bassett to “eat the cake, Anna Mae,” leading to a dramatic fight in a restaurant. Also, a screenshot of Fishburne playing Ike is used for a reaction meme. 

‘Soul Food’

The 1997 film Soul Food focuses on a family dealing with the death of their matriarch, who passed away due to poor health. 

Amidst the family chaos and revelations of long-held secrets, the character Ahmad’s emotional breakdown at the family dinner has become a frequently used GIF. His tears capture the intense emotions often seen within families, adding a touch of humor in the appropriate context.

‘Diary of a Mad Black Woman’

Tyler Perry’s 2005 film Diary of a Mad Black Woman centers around Helen, played by Kimberly Elise, as she copes with her husband’s infidelity and starts a new chapter in her life. 

Scenes that elicit laughter include Helen pushing her ex-husband, Charles, into a bathtub while he’s in a wheelchair and Helen nonchalantly eating a salad while Charles, hungry and emotional, cries nearby.

‘Madea’s Family Reunion’

In Tyler Perry’s 2006 film, Madea’s Family Reunion, comedy and serious issues intersect as one of the main characters, Lisa, prepares to marry a controlling and abusive man. Her sister Vanessa is a single mother, and their mother, played by Lynn Whitfield, shows favoritism toward Lisa. 

Black Twitter finds humor in Keke Palmer’s character, Madea’s new foster child, getting roughed up after she says, “Stop popping that gum.” This moment showcases the comedic side of the film while addressing important familial and cultural dynamics.

‘Why Did I Get Married?’

Released in 2007, Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married?  explores the lives of five dysfunctional married couples attending a couples retreat in hopes of improving their relationships. 

While the movie delves into severe moments of tension and revelation during a dinner scene, it has also birthed a popular GIF. Tasha’s triumphant “Boom” as she reveals she cheated on her husband, Marcus, adds a humorous twist to an intense moment.

Outside of the realm of serious or dramatic movies, there are plenty of films that bring joy and laughter to family and friends during the holiday season. Films like This Christmas, The Best Man Holiday, Friday After Next, and others provide an opportunity for lighthearted entertainment and shared laughter.
