it was actually not good at all and was a hit-piece. Snow was 100% embraced by the Caribbean communities around the world and still is today. won 7 of 8 of the song of the year awards he was nominated for last year.

Can't !! Now that we have social media and everyone seems to be so sensitive these days, I'm surprised he hasn't had to apologize for even making a fake rasta voice
In living color was one of the best shows ever created. They "pushed the envelope" even more than SNL. Some truly talented people emerged from the show, including Jamie Foxx, Jim Carrie, David Alan Grier, JLo, and of course the super talented Wayans family.
100 percent. I have a theory - not original. People got soft. But soft doesn't mean spew racist crap and then call people "snowflakes." I mean soft as can't take REAL equal opportunity satire the way In Living Color did. And the way Family Guy still does.
@@buckster2575The humor was funnier on SNL way back, "Canteen boy" Shweaty balls" "Gumby" "Baba Wawa" " I need more cowbell" "Van down by the river"" Chippendales" "D**k in a box" just about anything with Eddie Murphy, Phil Hartman and Andy Samberg was funny. Way back they had skit with Mr and Mrs.Douche bag, 😂😂😂
I used to absolutely love this show. Homey the clown, Homey don't play that. Then the movie "I'm gonna get you sucka" was a classic. The parody of Shabba Ranks, "mr ugly man" was amazing.
Thing is, Jim Carrey grew up about a half hour-45 min north of where Snow grew up. The rapping itself took some talent, but imitating a white Torontonian singing in semi-Patois would be east for Carrey.
I knowwwwww. The only reason they said they ended it was cause the network was giving them a hard time about that one sketch with the 2 gay men cause it was to much for TV back then. But now look now days how anything that pays wether it's pushing the limits or not. It's all about money. This show would have ran for a long time and don't forget Snl was on the air and for living color to make it that long ?? And had still been on the air they would have given Snl a run for there money.
the show ended because all the good people left to do solo stuff. the last season was downright awfull lol. i think they only had david alan grier left towards the end
HOLY CRAP!!! How have I never seen this before?! I'm 41 years old now and I remember "Informer" quite well, but I never knew Jim Carrey did a send up of it. Absolutely brilliant!
This is a clip from the show "In Living Color" from the 90s. This show is where Jim Carey, Jamie Fox, J-Lo and the Wayans got their big break. It was produced by Kenan Ivory Wayans.
Comedy gold. In Living Color perfectly understood how to parody - funny without being mean and nasty. Nowadays people either totally overreact to good parody especially if it's about race... or they say some mean racist BS and try to play it off by saying "haha" after.
Is that really his voice or is he just using someone else's. He must be a true artist... giving the ppl what they want... & him truly just being himself. I especially like his half ass parts moving his tongue around like some lizard mid way through wever
+REALGz23 Eminem, yes, but he was largely slammed by the PC Media for his rants against gays and stuff. Blink 182 and Green Day both I believe were formed in the '90s.
Most disses happen retroactively in rap songs. Unless it's a freestyle rap battle, literally every diss song is written retroactively. What, are they supposed to diss someone proactively? Predict the future and diss someone based on what you think they might do? Smarten up, man. You and all of the people who liked your comment.
@@chris101ward youre a insolent little tart, aren't you? stop being such a whiney pathetic maggot and try to have some fun instead of taking a random comment on a youtube video literally.
Whats sad actually was Snow was really a ghetto kid from the project housing, that was in and out of jail and never acted like he was black or even dressed down like a normal kid. He was an Irish dude who never had a blackccent and did not wear the Hip hop gear popular with the phony acts like Markie Mark. He was actually very talented and the Jamaicans loved him. A true legend in the reggae world with 90s Jamaicans Dancehall. Biggups!

@@gedon4713 So, you believe in human sacrifice. That really doesn't make sense. That because some guy, whose followers claim was a man god, supposedly suffered in a garden and was executed, that he somehow saved humans from a terrible afterlife due to transgressing supposed spiritual laws some long dead men wrote about in some books? That's pretty weird.
Funny thing about snow. He actually learned Jamaican Patois from his Jamaican neighbors while growing up in the projects of Toronto. Take that as you may.
@@GregHassler I know his music and that informer song is done by an imposter. As a jamaican,that song is the weakest link,it belongs in the 🗑️ 🗑️ trashcan
he did. Watch Batman Forever (1995) its not the best batman movie but its still one of my favorites because he was solo cute as Edward nygma in the beginning of the movie!!! 😍
People call Snow a poser but he grew up in a Toronto housing project where most all of the other residents were Jamaican immigrants who organically influenced his cultural upbringing. He was surrounded by Jamaican people, music, slang, and accents growing up. And he also spent time in prison early in his career. The stuff he raps about isn't bullshit, it really happened. Snow may be a white, nerdy-looking Canadian dude but his music genuinely reflects his actual life experience. Got this comment from DrRockkso just thought it would fit here
But I thought everything he learned was from an auctioneer. OH! You're talking about the Actual dude who made this Actual song.. I'm gunna look into that!
and, as mentioned in other comments, he was actually MOST successful (regarding the amount of singles that charted) in Jamaica. so the people that supposedly should have been annoyed the most with this "imposter" actually didn't seem to mind his (alleged) background at all.
I read the lyrics of Informer and its not really a "cop-hatin" track. More about how he refused to rat out a friend after they did smth stupid and how he went to prison instead of him. Apparently this is a true story and earned him lots of respect in the hood.
Even after all these years, is no one gonna say how amazing and funny his scream was at the end when he got surrounded lol. This Jim Carrey killed it all!
Remember growing up in the 90s hearing from older people how great the 80s were, then I see some of this and I’m like no way the 90s were so much cooler.
I'm of Jamaican stock and I don't know anyone that took massive issue with Snow. Jamaican music belongs to everyone and as long as you do it well and with heart, it's all good... But the Popeye bit was hilarious!!!
Well said. I thought he was great in the 90's but I knew even then he would get flak and caught up in the whole Vanilla ice thing. His album is still great and i love his newest Shame and in my shoes too.
Agreed, I can't believe there are actually people that STILL believe a type of music belongs exclusively to one race. Get over yourselves! But this is funny, from a different time:)
"Time Warner kicked Ice-T off of the label for dissing the cops They said it just ain't right But when a Caucasian man records a cop-hating song They don't have a problem Must be an oversight" - 🔥
@@quantamgiant4285 I'm sure Jim didn't record it all in one take. He probably had to practice to get the flwo just right and record lines piece by piece in the recording studio. Still, Jim was definitely game and went all in for this parody.

same. same.🤣🤣🤣
He's scream is brilliant
When Weird Al heard this he was overcome with envy.
i bet
Eh. Weird Al never really punched down on anyone the way In Living Colour did lol
This isnt Weird Al's bag

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son JESUS CHRIST FOR OUR SINS so whoever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life Amen Amen Amen Amen
@@gedon4713 So, you believe in human sacrifice. That really doesn't make sense. That because some guy, whose followers claim was a man god, supposedly suffered in a garden and was executed, that he somehow saved humans from a terrible afterlife due to transgressing supposed spiritual laws some long dead men wrote about in some books? That's pretty weird.
Funny thing about snow. He actually learned Jamaican Patois from his Jamaican neighbors while growing up in the projects of Toronto. Take that as you may.
Garrett I have respect for Snow. But ZERO for Vanilla Ice.
He prolly had a Jamaican nanny growing up .. 😁😁☺️
He didn't learn patois, his accent and everything he was saying was trash.
@@Candy-rj7wc you obviously know nothing of his history
@@GregHassler I know his music and that informer song is done by an imposter. As a jamaican,that song is the weakest link,it belongs in the 🗑️ 🗑️ trashcan
Has no business being this 🔥
Jim Carrey is such a method actor, he was already working on getting in character as The Riddler
Jim Carrey would make a good riddler
+Brian Sandhu not sure if being sarcastic, but I guess you know he was the riddler in 1995 Batman Forever.
He should've been the joker.
he did. Watch Batman Forever (1995) its not the best batman movie but its still one of my favorites because he was solo cute as Edward nygma in the beginning of the movie!!! 😍
+Brian Sandhu He did indeed play that role
+Derpie Shwirlz it's sad how you didn't catch on
How is 30 years I've never seen this parody before? Lol
Thanks Jim. You're always making this life brighter. 🙏
I also just found this for my first time today somehow
"I shot the sheriff" 🤣 the goat doing goat things and predicting drakes downfall before he was alive.
People call Snow a poser but he grew up in a Toronto housing project where most all of the other residents were Jamaican immigrants who organically influenced his cultural upbringing. He was surrounded by Jamaican people, music, slang, and accents growing up. And he also spent time in prison early in his career. The stuff he raps about isn't bullshit, it really happened. Snow may be a white, nerdy-looking Canadian dude but his music genuinely reflects his actual life experience.
Got this comment from DrRockkso
just thought it would fit here
But I thought everything he learned was from an auctioneer. OH! You're talking about the Actual dude who made this Actual song.. I'm gunna look into that!
Also IM DOCTOR ROCKKSO THE ROCK AND ROLL CLOWN, I LOVE COCAINE!!!!
@@justicegraceful2171 very good
and, as mentioned in other comments, he was actually MOST successful (regarding the amount of singles that charted) in Jamaica.
so the people that supposedly should have been annoyed the most with this "imposter" actually didn't seem to mind his (alleged) background at all.
I read the lyrics of Informer and its not really a "cop-hatin" track. More about how he refused to rat out a friend after they did smth stupid and how he went to prison instead of him. Apparently this is a true story and earned him lots of respect in the hood.
Jim was and is so damn talented
a genius
Is
Jim Carry is an absolute legend!!! He is gonna be one of the people that goes down in history unforgotten about, I love this dude!
Switchbeck who?
sure, he'll be remembered as an antivax promoter
@@CarolinaSantacruzO I can guarantee you no one cares about a damn vaccine....dude is a legend for his work not because of covid
@@CarolinaSantacruzO jim is not antivax, he's anti mercury laden thimerosal in vaccines. which is a valid point tbh.
Jim Cash and Carry.
Are we gonna ignore how dope jim carrey sounds
The Popeye impression was too much 🤣🤣🤣🤣
“But when a Caucasian man records a cop hatin song , they don’t see a problem, must be an oversight”
BANG....BANG
Clever
I think there's a fine line between Snow's "Informer" and a song literally called "Cop Killer"
Bob Marley wrote "I shot the sheriff" and had no problems, becuase he did not shoot the deputy and it was in self-defense.
John Cougar Mellencamp is white yet when he fought authority, authority always won.
This is the best example of Jim Carey’s genius.
In Living Color really changed Jim Carry lifestyle around, and he blew up big time! He really is Imposter 😂😂😂
Am I the only one who would have loved to see the filming process of this?
Yes
Nope I really want to see that
Me too. I like all kinds of behind the scenes stuff.
Even after all these years, is no one gonna say how amazing and funny his scream was at the end when he got surrounded lol. This Jim Carrey killed it all!
You just said it though.
What a time of comedic genius this was... Greatest comedy skits ever!
Remember growing up in the 90s hearing from older people how great the 80s were, then I see some of this and I’m like no way the 90s were so much cooler.
I love jim carey, he is not normal and that's what i love about him, he makes everyone happy and makes them laugh😂😂
There are millions of people in Canada, but I still feel warm and fuzzy knowing Jim Carey is from my country.
As is Snow....
The auctioneer bit slayed me. This is awesome.
The amount of reggae and dancehall legends mentioned warms my soul
That scream he let out though 😭😭😭😭😂
Had me in damn tears😂😂
Reminded me of Homer Simpson lol
He knew they were going to milk him 🤣🤣
😆 best
🤣😂🤣😂
I havent laughed this hard in ages. So grateful to discover this!
Can't stop watching this I love Jim Carey there will be never anyone like him ever
This song fits more for Drake than Snow.
Except it doesn't because Drake's not a reggae artist and not white.
What are you talking about?
@@threedragonstalk2123He's half white and just like Snow he's a Canadian from Toronto who has appropriated Jamaican culture in his music.
@@danzig3462 Okay, so the song does fit Drake somewhat, but less than it does Snow. Original comment is still wrong.
@@threedragonstalk2123snow actually abt that life tho, drake isn’t
@@threedragonstalk2123 defend the underage lover some more why don’t you.
The giant question mark is quite the Riddler foreshadowing
Lol facxx
I'm dead Literally dead after watching his mouth gestures😂😂😂😂
me too lol 😂
Uh,NO. Not 'LITERALLY'. You would be in Heaven already. Figuratively speaking you mean to say. :)
The Hannibal tongue 😂🤣🤣🤣
Apparently no understanding of the word "literally".
@@fairybits stupid?
Thank us Canadians for giving you all of the best comedians on the planet...
holy crap I never knew Jim Carrey was from canada... then again the question of where he's from never exactly came to mind either.
@@ICaligvla Newmarket.. basically Toronto area! If you look up a list of Canadian actors it's a long honorable list
I'm coming to Canada from Bangladesh next year. Y'all better be funny.
Jim Carey is from Newmarket Toronto????? Isn't Snow also from Newmarket Toronto?
@@M0butu Snow was born and raised in North York, a part of Toronto. Newmarket is not a part of Toronto.
1:36 Burrrger croooownnnn😂
A hot apple pie wit dat
I'm of Jamaican stock and I don't know anyone that took massive issue with Snow.
Jamaican music belongs to everyone and as long as you do it well and with heart, it's all good...
But the Popeye bit was hilarious!!!
Well said. I thought he was great in the 90's but I knew even then he would get flak and caught up in the whole Vanilla ice thing. His album is still great and i love his newest Shame and in my shoes too.
I almost died.
Agreed, I can't believe there are actually people that STILL believe a type of music belongs exclusively to one race. Get over yourselves! But this is funny, from a different time:)
Agree. He had skill, where Ice had pretty basic rhymes, and Ice was a pop rapper.
That sound belongs to the Jamaican people....it's representative of their culture.
I still like singing “i am what I am and that’s all that I am!” And nobody ever gets it 🤣
Man 30 years later this is still hilarious!

Must be an oversight" - 🔥
Satori thank you, I was look for these lyrics. They now have deeper meaning now that I know what he said.
Ha, I always thought he said "company song", as in generic 80s rock.
that is some straight up fire though!!! JC is one of the realest!!!
@@quantamgiant4285 I'm sure Jim didn't record it all in one take. He probably had to practice to get the flwo just right and record lines piece by piece in the recording studio. Still, Jim was definitely game and went all in for this parody.
Actions speak louder than words dumbbells, so get a clue my bitch ass shrews!
i will literally be walking down the street and laughing by myself thinking about that popeye part
That's the power of Popeye! He has entertained millions of people for over 70 years.
Shit me too!! 😂🤣🤣
The power of Popeye....that he makes me eat spinach for added strength (or so I thought)....and STILL end up getting my butt kicked by guys older and bigger than me (back in my kiddie days).
Ppl be wondering why we laugh out of the blue and think we're crazy but its stuff like this that has us crackin up
@@funkyweapon1981 there was supposed to be a Popeye movie but instead came the emoji movie
“But everything I know I learned from an auctioneer” 😂
how good is your dad's popeye impression?
Who will give me 10? Takes me out. Every. Time.😂😂😂
Truly one of a kind, Jim Carrey.
Not talked about but Tommy Davidson did a good impression of MC Shan in this video.
Sh_t, Tommy sounded legit as hell.. I started moving my head.. lol!
When Jim Carrey did the popeye impression over a reggae beat ..I was drinking water at the time and ended up spitting out water everywhere on the floor from laughing!!😆😂😆
The Popeye impression kills me. You gotta love Jim Carrey.
The scream at the end 😂😂
"Cool runnings.....AHHHHHH!!!!!"
