There's a Key and Peele sketch just like this where they crash the Confederate side of a Civil War reenactment and act like humble, obedient slaves until they provoke the actors enough to say the n-word at which point the two have an excuse to rob their camp at gunpoint.
@@ThePurpleMushroom umm sitting down and thinking/coming up with a "skit" is an idea. Also making a script, finding actor's, rehearsing the skit, getting costumes and having everyone meet somewhere to record the skit is reality. It's all planned just like Eric's ideas and all happened, except key and Peele put much more thought, work, effort into what they do and have more talent. Also only difference from the key and Peele skit and Eric's is that Eric does his play or idea in front of people who aren't aware it's a joke or for a show. And in this video Eric and his actors didn't even really talk or interact with the bystanders. They just ran around and chased each other to put on a show for the video.
Eric Andre is like the version of comedian that all the comedians would really like to be like, but know the respect from non comedians isn't the same. Eric Andre low-key might be one of the most brilliant comedians of all time. His levels of comedy have only grown with the growth of myself, as a teen I just thought it was random humour but as an adult living and seeing what's reality, Eric Andre is a mad genius 🤣

@@master_shakem3291 I was referring to the Key and Peele skit where they play two black men who *do* crash a Civil War re-enactment and they make all these white men very uncomfortable by forcing them to acknowledge that the Civil War was about owning slaves, not honor or self-defense.
It seems like both of the bits aired in 2012, so I don’t think one copied the other, just a case where they had the same idea independently but around the same time.
Just to clarify, this was NOT filmed at Colonial Williamsburg. He talks about CW and then says he went to a civil war reenactment. Two different places. That is why Abe Lincoln was at the civil war reenactment, not CW. CW focuses mainly on the 18th century and the 19th century is only used for special events.
as someone who lives in VA, i can confirm that Eric was on point with the commercial. also, they added a waterpark last i checked? all they need is sludgey ass, diseased water and they'll be somewhat historically accurate.
Andre is the man, so genuine. Lincoln did not want to free the slaves, it was a last resort. Lincoln was explicitly against ending slavery. Good things come from us, the 99, not from the top, the elitist war-mongering rulers.
Dekulink333 Really? a wiki page? With nothing specified within it? Nothing stating why exactly he was against the expansion of slavery on this page. What case are you trying to make exactly? That Lincoln wanted to end slavery? You have provided nothing here that indicates that Lincoln did in fact support the emancipation of slaves, as an actual political reality, for any reason other than that it was a model that conflicted with the more powerful Northern elites. Lincoln was about doing what the rich wanted, first and foremost, he is not the arbiter of morality, justice, or decency. He was an agent of the ruling class and did not stand for democracy. Send my your paper if you wish.
Dopesauce42 Lincoln was always morally opposed to slavery, and made his opposition to its expansion unmistakeably clear in his famous debates with Steven Douglas. While It is true that he did not enter into the war against the southern states for the purpose of 'ending slavery,' he did aggressively push for the 13th amendment to be passed, even doing so at some considerable amount of risk to his own short term interests. We can say with the utmost confidence that the Northern cause was really fought for duel purposes. The Civil War first began as a ideological contest over the solubility of the Union, and rapidly evolved into a war for liberation. To say otherwise reveals either ignorance or shameless revisionism.
Umm I don't mean to seem butthurt or anything but these comments claiming that Eric's pigmentation is too light fail to understand that alot of of female slaves were raped and had biracial children. I myself am a descendant of a very light skinned slave
So stupid. More like a 17th-18th century town. Williamsburg (formerly Middle Plantation) became the Virginia capital city in 1699 and remained so until Governor Jefferson moved the capital to Richmond during the Revolutionary War.
The white woman folding her blanket and screaming as the two black guys run by lololol! You can write comedy but sometimes it just happens by the natural order. 😆
As someone who grew up in Williamsburg and was forced on field trips every year to Colonial Williamsburg, I can confirm that it is indeed boring. No good effin times here.
