Would you try the blowfish?
Hell nawl
For sure
I like popeyes
Nope. I'm not eating anything poisonous.
I prefer subway sushi
“DONTGIVEMETHATBROTHASHIT!” 😂😂😂😂😂
I rewatch just for him to say that🤣😂🤣🦜
I can't wait to use that line ☺️
Mad I can’t like this every time I re watch lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Theyre bound to hit a lick🤣
This scene was a masterclass on acting, writing, messaging, and comedy. This whole episode was a chefs kiss
But not the chef that made that fish.

Then uses racial slurs like coon chicken and Aunt Jemima 😂
AND calls him brother in return
A++ acting
he meant that 😂
I wish I enjoyed things on your level.
The "this n#gga serving poison fish" line had me dead

Lowkey this whole speech should have ended with that lol
This man done changed his state of origin 10 times over the course of his speech 😂
I couldn’t tell if he was also talking about the chef 🤷🏿♂️
He said Alabama frist then Florida
So many of my friends don’t catch that
@@nerdyafrican1185 you want some hot sauce with that brother!
I love it. Everywhere there is black folk getting the same service from another blindly while serving never ending skepticism to our own 😢
This is how they end the show, a black owned sushi restaurant mad about a Popeyes keeping black people ignorant. One of the greatest shows ever to be created, no debating
Low key season 3 was so much better. Every episode in season 3 was super deep and original while episode's in Season 4 seemed like they were written really quickly and by completely different writer's than season 3. Was really disappointed this season
@@secret222 You're very wrong if you think that.
@@secret222 you weren't paying attention to season 4.
@@secret222 very much a wrong take
@@BearagamoWoods @redfordreddington8834
@ambskater97
How tf yall gonna tell him his opinion is wrong and not give any reason? Lol and he's right season 3 was way better, season 4 doesn't really have a direct story that flows from episode to episode. It's like every episode stands alone, which doesn't make it bad but it does show a lack of continuity in the writing.
Somehow, the final boss is Malcolm X trying to serve you poisoned blowfish.😂
I will truly miss Atlanta🥲
Malcolm Hex.
Nation of Islam vibes
@@MentalStillnessbruh bahahaha 🤣💀
You missed the point, the blowfish isn't poisoned, the point of the scene is to make you question WHY your first thought is the fish being poison when japanese will serve you the same thing
Hrs giving the Honorable Elija Muhammed vibes
I like that this was pretty much one of Al's classic adventures that happen to him while he's by himself, except Van and Earn were there this time to bear witness.
lol that’s true i didn’t think about that…. it’s always al 😂
It’s got an element from each of their solo adventures I just realized
This was the "Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood" message moment. I loved the quotes & dark humor of it all, especially the "Gotta watch out for them NY niggas. They're bound to hit a lick" part.
Thank u Donald Glover for giving us 4 seasons of greatness in Afro-Surrealism & Dramedy.
Amen brother.
Comedic afro surrealism is my favorite genre
Your right, never realized 😂😂😂
can you explain the ny one? as a european i think im missing sumt
@@salvlox_
It's just the kind of slang NYers use, when referring to getting money illegally.
One thing I've always enjoyed about Atlanta is that it is a true dark comedy. Most shows that describe themselves as dark comedy either lean to far in one direction or end up falling flat because the comedy will undercut the dark tone of a scene or vice versa. Atlanta manages to deliver these scenes where you are constantly laughing at the absurdity of it and at the same time make you feel unease and discomfort. The writers do a fantastic job of balancing the tone between humor and intensity of its darker moments. This scene is just one perfect example of that.
It isn’t dark comedy!!! It is Afro-Surrealism !!!!!!!!!!!
@@MoodyChavierI mean stuff can be multiple things
@@J3llyf12hy perhaps
It's both
i often have a knot in my stomach bc i don’t know where things will go
DONTGIMMETHAT BROTHER
SHHHIIET
Never laughed so hard in my life
The Breaking point lol
I lost it in that moment😭😭😭
Yessss lol 🙌🏾☠️😂🤣
“Saulted’ and battered, sold back to us in our own image.” Lowkey spittin……… but I’m still goin to popeyes
lol
😂😂😂
Straight bars. Assault & Battery Chicken 🍗
I havent gone in years
“…but I guess my master was never a [MUTED] from Florida” is just as funny as what comes after 😂
Not gonna lie this definitely made me look at where I'm spending my money for the first time in my life
i have a rule where if i spend more than 100 dollars on something i find out who owns it first. this made me start incorporating things i spend more than 100 dollars on consistently (like fast food) into that
When I lived in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn in the mid 2000s, there were two African/Arab owned cafeterias where you fixed your own plate with the fresh hot food they served (pure organic veggies, halal meats, and unique African & Arab dishes. The place was always packed with either Muslims or white Hipsters from places like Iowa and Portland who were just moving in. I got really good at making a nice plate with portions of meats and veggies for under 7 bucks. Meanwhile, across the street, most of the Black & Latino who lived in the area would rather pay double at Popeyes, KFC, Taco Bell or McDonalds. I used to shake my head at how our community is just happily poisoning itself. Now I don't care anymore.
@@juniorjames7076 power of knowledge and discipline
@@juniorjames7076 moved to suburb in VA, this guy told me he'd rather spend more at a fancy chickenspot than Popeyes quality of poultry
It's conditioning- goes back to post-slavery lack of food availability created generational addiction @@rasheedsaibu4147
He may have been a bad vessel for the message, with all the lock the door till they try the poison fish stuff, but his message was straight up facts
So basically this dude is Killmonger's uncle on his mother's side.
When I lived in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn in the mid 2000s, next to the local mosque there were two African/Arab owned cafeterias where you fixed your own plate with the fresh hot food they served (pure organic veggies, halal meats (no pork), and unique African & Arab dishes. The place was always packed with either Muslims or white Hipsters from places like Iowa and Portland who were just moving in.

I used to shake my head at how our community is just happily poisoning itself. Now I don't care anymore.
@@juniorjames7076 I think this is how hostile white people win. They drug dealers and the drugs they dealing is KFC, Popeyes, McDonald's.
Al's and the crew's desire for Popeyes is why the world they live in is so afflicted by whiteness and how that doesn't change because they achieved fame and success.
In fact Earn the most stern about not going to Popeye's was still treating DeMarcus a student of a famous sushi chef as a charity case.
Which is ironic cause Earn broke down in front of therapist saying he hates when other black people think of him that way. Also in Season 2 Earn was disrespected by Al who wanted a Jewish attorney instead of a black one. Al hinted he might seek out a different manager and it's implied he wants a white manager.
Van's friend is an investor for DeMarcus and Van respects her friend's confidence in DeMarcus food. Yet Van doesn't validate that friendship by eating the food. This is in spite of the fact in Season 3 Van's friend was willing to fly Van back to Atlanta instead of just allowing Van to live out a French fantasy.
Darius comes in and punches the owner and he saves his friends by riding in a car with Popeyes under the seat. Darius thinks its ok making his friends happy even if it means hurting a black man who wants ✌ cook in a different culture. Darius ironically suffered like DeMarcus, a restaurant in the UK that Darius liked was gentrified by a white lady he met at a party. This was done by taking a traditional recipe and making it corporate. Darius threw the recipe in the garbage yet in this episode he happily bring his friends a corporate product.
In the end the friends are together eating their food happy. It's almost as if the show is saying don't isolate when whiteness brings you down. Come together with your black friends and even if you betray that sentiment by falling victim to whiteness desires to seperate black people. Just do the best you can with the people you know before they're gone.
How is he a bad vessel? Is it cuz he's black?
@@juniorjames7076 I remember a discussion about food deserts. Basically, lack of grocery stores, which is why impoverished black people have bad diets. I do agree with that sentiment to a certain extent. However, I also have to call BS. I remember having a similar experience to you, but with groceries:
There used to be a restaurant/grocery store in the hood. They had great prices and produce. As a matter of fact, they were known for their greens and sweet potatoes. I knew about that place because my mom would drive a long way just to buy their greens for Thanksgiving and New Years. They also had a restaurant where they'd serve fried chicken, fried pork chops, chips, sodas, etc. Most of the people in the area barely bought the produce (produce was a good deal with cabbage costing about $0.50 a head), they bought the fried pork chops from the restaurant, a bud light, and a bag of hot fries.
Even my younger cousins are victim of this. An organization was giving out free apples, to encourage kids to eat healthier snacks. I asked my cousins if they got any, since it was free. They said, "no, I don't want no apple! I just went in the store and got hot fries!" I think we like to lie and blame food deserts, which is valid to a certain extent btw, but we also miss that a lot of us don't want better.
He definitely outta line but he right.
What if I don't like sushi?
Bruh. I worked at Popeyes as teenager white people love and eat Popeyes too if not more. They used to fck that chicken up. That's a stereotype.

This isn't a lecture it's a villain speech.
Stephen Glover said that characters in the show can be both right and wrong. What he said was right.
@@ambskater97 I mean, what is basically doing is just guilt tripping them to eat his horrible food
Nahhhh, but you're basically projecting your basic mentality splashing around in puddles @@justadude8845
@@justadude8845you didn’t get it.
It's neither, it's a message.
To be fair the blowfish is prepared by the chef in front of the customer and the chef eats a portion to show it was prepared properly. I get DeMarcus' point, he's right about everything else but wrong about the blowfish. Hilarious that he's guilt tripping them to eat it😂😂.
The blowfish is poisonous if prepared wrong, he did it to show trust behind what he made. If Paperboi had a problem, he should've asked but he chose to stay ignorant.
@@sws212 He's not ignorant, as the chefs in Japan are certified under an extremely rigorous process, and customers still get sick or die from eating the fish. If being ignorant means not gambling with my life to appease someone's ego, so be it.
Yea. The chef could've led with something less esoteric. For his ATL audience.
Nah they jus wanted some mf Popeyes
@@Schwartzbruder1 I love your sarcasm lmao
2:02 got me dying
I been in tears all NIGHT off this one scene 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He was bout to power up 😂😂
2:02 - I am SO glad that kept that line read, it sounds like the actor had his soul pinched.
Man when he said would you like some hot sauce on the poison fish😂
Yo whoever played Demarcus crushed theeeeee HELL outa this role!! Talk about acting!!
His speech is exactly like Al’s at the end of season 2 but not coming from a place of love simply resentment.
The commentary on consumerism, black
culture and perfectionism of craft through a comedic monologue like this was a refreshing view, and i rewatch as an ode to the greatness that was/is atlanta
That said, anyone notices how his speech cadence is like Marvin Gaye’s…and i think a Marvin song comes up after
Thank you FX for giving a creator freedom to make art. This entire series has been incredible! Season 4 was so well done. Every shot had a purpose. Absolutely brilliant!
Fr. He's not Christopher Nolan, and this show didn't do huge numbers, but you can tell they let him do whatever he wanted. The show's just so avant-garde and left of field but he still had the keys all the way
@@prenuptials5925it’s so good I’m sad it’s gone but happy it was ever a thing.
Hopefully if Boondocks ever comes back they include some of this into some episodes. The acting is par and phenomenal or the creator creates another great series such as Atlanta.
I've been saying this is the real-life Boondocks
don’t think we’ll be getting more boondocks. not with John Witherspoon dead and most of the VAs approaching their 60s
It was HBO decides to not pick it up
@@fredleeland2464 If that merger never happened I'd bet it would be on air.
guy who voiced grandad is dead, so, yeah, never coming back. ever.
Demarcus is spitting I do think black people are decently good about supporting each other but sometimes we be on bullshit. Even though this is super meta its also specifically true about Sushi. Niggas really don't know anything about Sushi.
One of my favorite scenes of all time in any movie/TV show. I've had this kind of message sitting in the back of my head for so long but Donald Glover and Team put it in words so perfectly. Love for my black brothers and sisters forever.
absolutely.
It's also important to note that plenty of niggas just wouldn't eat a poisonous fish to begin with, no matter who made it
This is a straight up Tanrantino type villain speech before somebody gets perished. Wheres Samuel Jackson?!🤣
"Don't gimme that brother SHEiiit"!
😂
This scene was just amazing. I was so captivated that I didn't realize I was holding my breath for the last minute. The power of strong writing and acting never ceases to amaze me.
This would make a great Popeyes commercial.
God, I'm going to miss this show.
That's literally the exact opposite of everything the guy is saying. Genuinely. Every word that guy speaks is about how black people don't support other black business because they've been told not to trust each other, and instead should give money to corporations that lie to them and only really profit the white folks at the top.
He's straight up saying don't go to Popeyes. How is any of that a commercial?
@@theguywithsomething8634 I was being facetious. I understood what he was saying, and they cut out the best part where Darius comes in and punches the owner for them to escape.
@@DuoForbidden 😩LOVE that sensory upheaval from Atlanta 🥴
Straight up supervillain origin monologue
Yeah.
Like a new James Bond villain.
"The Origin of Dr. Blowfish." 😂
I honestly feel the man tho. Sometimes being black in this country is a double edge sword. You get judged, stereotyped, and looked down on by other races, and then the people that look like you turn around and do the same thing…
This whole scene has so much phenomenally built into it. The Ginza restaurant is obviously a Jiro Dreams of Sushi reference. That his restaurant can draw their training from arguably the best sushi restaurant in the world, and its still not enough. To be fair though, that fancy sushi doesn't work everywhere. Some people just want their baked rolls.
As a Japanese person there is also a noticeable weirdness to the restaurant that makes you double guess as to whether the restaurant knows their stuff. A waiter would never say itadakimasu. What are the sprays (make up?) doing on the counter? Would you be willing to overlook that in a Japanese owned business? It really makes you ask yourself.
Yes people would be. They wouldn't call it ghetto or out of place. It'd be seen as a thoughtful convenience of that culture. Little items that you might have forgot you needed or a snack to grab extra.
To be fair I've been to many "Japanese" resturants that where the person never said itadakimasu. I don't think I've been to one that has.
I wouldnt be eating in a sushi place with make up on the counter and deep African vibes with the owner looking like he’s about to sell me a bean pie.
@@socalrefrigeration548 why?
@@angellover02171 Lol you'll never get an answer.
“LISTEN BROTHA MAN” 🤣🤣🤣💀💀😭
I’m going to miss this show so fuckin much. 🤦🏾♂️ One of the greatest pieces of art ever made.
This is arguably a top 10 all-time monologue in television history
I could watch an entire series with this guy
Maaaan. This show should get an Oscar. Yes, I know what I said.
This show was always dropping facts and mixing it with humor. That's what made it a great show.
This feels like the supervillain of a movie kinda making a point, while still being insane
That was insanely well-made. I so enjoyed the clip and got to see the show.
This scene is DEEP. Hope it didn't go over everyone head
That man is pure class.
I’m looking at Donald’s face - he looks like he wants to bust out laughing 🤣🤣
Thought provoking & masterfully entertaining! The entire Atlanta cast...take a bow & thank you!
Shout out to rio da yung og and Louie ray at 4:00 the kids doing that dance Lmao
2:03 😂😂
Had me crying yo
@@laurscurls facts 😂
Excellently delivered monologue 👏🏿👏🏿💐
On one hand he’s got a point but on the other hand I don’t see him eating the non-poisonous poisonous blowfish
RIGHT⁉️
He's the one who cut it. His whole point is that if he was Japanese they would trust him.
@@alexander1902 I wouldn't. There are ton of a sushi places, and most don't sell the blow fish. I wouldn't eat it here or in Japan because it has no real flavor just the feeling of a small bit of poison. Not doesn't seem worth it.
@@alexander1902 No they wouldn't. To work with blowfish in Japan you need to certified, similar to having a drivers license, and you need several years of apprenticeship under a master. It's a whole legal process. If anyone gets sick, or dies, you lose your license, get fined, or go to jail. Even with these rigorous standards, people still get ill or die every year from eating it in Japan. He tried to make it about race to try and guilt trip him into eating. He wouldn't need all that talk if his business spoke for itself.
To be fair, sushi only ever started to catch on in North America once restaurants started to adapt the recipes to North American tastes (e.g. the California Roll). Any restaurant that insists on serving only “authentic” Japanese recipes is gonna have an uphill climb.
Yea. We really dont have the tongue for "real sushi"...most of us anyway
Sushi was originally Japanese
In universe the restaurant they are eating at is a black-japanese fusion restaurant, so not completely traditional
thank goodness for HULU!...i came late to the party but will miss this gem of a show
The restaurant he is talking about is Sukiyabashi Jiro, it is in the Ginza subway of Tokyo. Seats ten people only, costs 400 dollars per person, reservations are done months in advance and it is considered the best sushi in the world. The only way for a foreigner to even get a reservation was to ask the maitre at the Park Hyatt in Tokyo. Study under Jiro takes 10 years and then he gives you your shokunin (craftsman) certificate. One of his students opened one of the best sushi restaurants in NYC.
4:03 I always wonder if this was improvised by those extras or if it was written into the script.
Great Show👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Gonna miss this show man
“You want some hot sauce to go with it brudda?” 😂

One of the best shows if all time, and it won't get its praise.
It's not at all.

kinda similar thing happened to my bartender cousin doesn't matter how much perfect he made a cocktail but because he is asian this karen doesn't wanna drink it. in the end his caucasian friend stepped up and made the exact same drink just to end it
This movie revolves around food alot the french episode with the restaurant,the Popeye thing ,Darius and jollof rice...
Free Chicken Sandwich day N!gga !!!
Food is one of the biggest markers of culture. How's its cooked, dined, served, and cooked by.
Also the D'Angelo sandwiches.
Bring this show back. 🙏
Shid this is deep asf and if you think about it if you were to only eat from black owned businesses, buy clothes from black owned businesses and sent your children to black schools you’ll end up having to go outta town a lot just to get something to eat and wear…and it’s a shame because most likely we’ll never support one another 100% unless some kind of benefit comes with it
LOL the accent was perfect.
I'm mean he ain't wrong but....
Best scene ever!
They should've brought back Brother 'Ahmad White' for this episode, but this brother made good delivery too.
This episode was pure madness 😂
Them towels at the beginning of the scene, though. DeMarcus just went to the laundry hamper and got them. Lol
This restaurant really would have been successful if they didn't lead with the poison fish💀
"DontGiveMeThatBrotherShiit" got me crying. Everytime I'm in tears when I hear it😭🤣😭🤣😭🤣
1:46 that “I knew it” so underrated 😂
“Would you like sum hot sauce brotha 😁” 😂😂😂
I watch this scene everyday almost,too much truth.

Man I’m really going to miss this show!!!
Mannn Calvin You Killed This Bro ETRTW 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"The problem with us is we don't trust each other."
Should Van have trusted Mr. Chocolate? (Honest question)
You really can see it in all the immigrant communities in Atlanta. Koreans, Romanians, Latinos, etc. They all support each others businesses and each other. I definitely see it in the Black community too. But this made me think.
"You want some hot sauce to go with it brother" 😂
Oh my god sooo good!!
“Let me guess, you want some hot sauce to go with it?” Lol.
Masterclass performance and writing they were hating on this show after it swept the whole country in the first season
This is wholesome humor made me die with laughter
This was a great show and hilarious. Peer pressure at its best
I wish I could get people who aren't black to really understand the feeling I get as a black person from seeing this scene. It's really hard to put into words if you haven't lived a black life.
Lecturing about cooking another race's food, how authentic
Release the Blu Ray collection already🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Imma miss this show
Here's a brutal fact: more people will pick fried chicken over sushi & blowfish every time.
