Jan 23 2008Tyler Perry's Trailer to 'Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns'
As you watch Tyler Perry's trailer to Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns (and why wouldn't you?), you're likely to find yourself near panic around the one-minute mark. Why, you will beg, am I nearly halfway through this trailer and have yet to see Tyler Perry dressed as an overweight elderly woman? Does he think a former Laker and the old lady from Ladykillers can collectively replace the screen icon that is Madea? Have Big Momma's House, Big Momma's House 2, The Nutty Professor, The Nutty Professor 2, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, and Madea's Family Reunion finally over-saturated the market with obesity in drag?
I don't want to ruin it for you, but let's just say Perry makes us wait for our treat, and that the treat is an old, large woman providing out-of-place comic relief.
Kyle is thanked for sharing this.

No, actually. It was Norbit that put the final nail in that coffin. RIP

But Norbit made $95 million domestic - $158 million worldwide. The studios will give the people what they want, and what they want is black men in a woman's fat suit. No nail in that coffin...

This Tyler Perry asshole used to be homeless. Now he's a gazillionaire. But he's still a one-trick asshole

This is the same movie that I've never seen 100 times.

This is blaxploitation but instead of pimps and shootouts it's cheesy family and perserverence. We need a name for it. Aren't all these films basically Soul Food rip offs? How about Soulploitation?

whenever I hear this movie title I think of a movie about some dude looking in the toilet after taking a dump.
