![อยู่ได้แล้ว - LIPTA feat. Mirrr [OFFICIAL MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/-9-hpntNym4/mqdefault.jpg)
He simply portrayed a dude who was playing the dude disguised as another dude. And he did a great job.
That was the joke. People don't wanna laugh well that's on them for being lame.
Yep
😂 facts😅
Correct. That wasn’t “black face”
The blackface in the movie was part of a narrative, and even discussed on camera in context of the film…
🤔
RDJ is a white American that played a white Australian playing a black American. It was a great performance in a hilarious movie.
Absolutely 💯. To me that's the kind of performance that deserves an Oscar
He is a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude
RDJ is European not American. Stop stealing our Ethnicity.
If RDJ is American my Native American ass is African now. Oh shit my dick just doubled in size!
He also played a Vietnamese rice farmer near the end of the movie
“Nobody has a problem, let me create one”
I know right
Vlad is gonna ask every black person he sees about it until he can cause some drama
Zackly, no one had a problem
How do you know nobody has a problem do you speak for everybody shut up
@@jondishmonmusicandstuff2753Who’s softer than baby faeces to have a problem??? Wind your neck in son
he gets away with it cuz HE isn't doing blackface... his character is 😂😂😂 simply genius
Exactly, looks like a funny black character to me. Black face is some other disrespectful mocking type racist stuff.
@@travisstrickland7270 Like what Jimmy Kimmel, and Justin Trudeau had done.
@ag8793 I don't know what the Justin Trudeau thing is, but Jimmy Kimmel was just another example of simply playing a character, the race of Shaq or Karl Malone did NOT matter. You're grasping at straws, making something out of nothing. Everything is not about race or is meant to demean another race... There use to be a thing called "comedy"
@@travisstrickland7270people get offended by anything though so that’s not a bar to judge anything by. The key is to do whatever you want to
@@gregorio87 Justin Trudeau went to a Halloween Party a few years back in pure brown face lol. He went as like an Arab genie or something and his skin was completely painted dark brown. Look it up.
And don’t forget that he invited a n*zi to parliament…TWICE. Invited him, people were outraged and he apologized, and then invited him again like a year later lol.
“I don't drop character 'til I've done the DVD commentary” RDJ 😂
He was literally in character in the actual DVD commentary
😂😂😂😂😂
"I'm a dude playing a dude dressed up as another dude!"
You about to cross some lines!@@IamThatiam-hf5hz
My favorite line 😂
They literally addressed the absurdity of his character THROUGHOUT that movie.
That character Tom Cruise played was worse.
Was also like the point of the movie
That’s how I know these people that address it at all haven’t watched the movie.
@@MyManJFKTV Brandon T Jackson didn't seem to have a problem wid it "What do YOU mean by 'You People!'" 😂
@@thinkman2467Best character in that movie, lol. Fuck u mean?
"Take a step back, & FUCK YOUR OWN FACE!"😂
“What did you mean ‘you people’?”
“What do YOU mean, ‘you people’?!”
😂
Brandon T. Jackson’s reactions to RDJ’s character had to be in the movie for it to work.
“What do YOU mean, YOU people?” 😂😂😂 That movie is comedic gold! 🙌🏼
“That word has kept us down for 400 hundred years” 😂
"Pump your brakes kid that man's a national treasure" 🤣🤣
That's the theme song for the Jeffersons!
Just because it's a song does it mean it's not true
LANCE??
@@joelwallace9221 he said Nance!
@@danielsarmiento1591 I luh da pussay hahaha 😆
"I'm the dude, playing the dude, disguised as another dude..." 😂😂💀
What do you mean YOU people?!
Pump yo brakes kid that man was national treasure 😂
For 400 yrs that word has kept us down (wtf) 🤣
“Just cause it’s a theme song don’t mean it ain’t true”
Nailed it
Love Deon Cole. His stand up is some of the best ever.
Im black and im good with it! They killed it! ❤😂
He was belittling people who did blackface by doing blackface. Satire.
Exactly.
"He wasn't trying to belittle or demean black people."
True, he was trying to belittle or demean PEOPLE who belittle or demean black people!
Blackface squared.
You damn right
Amazing how many people don’t get this.
there was a British sitcom many years ago, i forget what it was called but it was about a black family moving in next door to a middle aged white guy who lets just say was not happy about it, some today would call it racist but it wasnt, it was about how stupid the white guy was.
exactly
It wasn’t make fun of black people, it was making fun of people doing blackface.
Exactly 👏👏👏
Not even that. It was making fun of method actors.
@@redbigun Exactly. They were making fun of actors who are so deep in their show biz bubble and so far up their own backsides that they are oblivious to common sense. The character had gone so far into method acting that he was unable to see that he was essentially engaging in minstrelry.
It was making fun of all Hollywood stereotypes.
Exactly. Just like blazing saddles wasn't trying to be racist it was making fun of racists.
Tropic thunder is an all time classic
Does anybody understand how complicated that character was to be that funny it was not mocking anybody other than himself
"I know who I am! I'm the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude!" ~ RDJ
The dudes have aligned
That line is my ring tone.
And I don’t break character until the DVD commentary!
😂😂😂😂
Lol! Right! The funniest shit ever!
They were making fun and pointing out how ridiculous method actors can be. If people don’t get that then their just forever victims. 🥴
Thank you!
Couldn't have said it better myself!. 👏🍻
Right!
Exactly, it was pointing out how Hollywood whitewash characters by having white people play ethnic characters.
W
Thank you! It was a comedy!😂
The was one of the funniest movies I have ever watched and like Deon said, he didn't demean Black folks, it was a great parody
"Fo fo hunnuh years, that word has kept us down" 😂
“What do you mean, “You People”?”
😂😂😂😂
That film is funny as hell.
And he never said the N word he slapped the black guy who said it
@Chakawatts what do YOU mean, "You People." ??
I’ve never seen a black person who was offended by RDJ in Tropic Thunder. It’s very clear he’s not mocking black people. The target of the joke is the actor himself, his vanity and ignorance, not black people. I think everyone gets that.
Only people who have issue with it haven’t seen the movie, they’ve only seen clips or screen grabs and form their opinion on that alone without the full context of the film.
Without that role (and the perfect casting) that movie is so far less than what it is.
Exactly. It's the greatest single critique of method acting you'll ever see. Kirk Lazarus does this vain, stupid, ridiculous and completely offensive act of darkening his skin solely because he wants to win another Oscar. It was great.
@@djraptorxand only people that haven't seen that movie don't understand how great it is.
The point of the movie is how ridiculous the industry, celebrities, and entertainers are.
One of the funniest performances I've ever seen😂😂😂...
There was 0 maliciousness when it comes to RDJ’s “blackface”.
The real heat came from Ben Stillers Simple Jack character 😂😂
But it muh muh muh made me happy 😂
We need movies like that again. You know your society is weak when they can't joke on the funny stuff and be serious on The serious stuff l
"Stupid ass jack"
I got a good brain.
“Robert why are you freaking out? I have the entire downs community at my doorstep and you know what kind of muscle they’re bringing”
My favorite line from that movie: "What do you mean 'you people?" "What do YOU mean you people?"
Mine was "im a dude playin a dude disguised as another dude
😂😂😂😂
"huh"
Look at them beady white devil eyes 😂
Fo 400 years, that word has kept us down...
It was classic it was funny. Robert D Jr you good my guy
Love this movie reminds me of the old school airplane movies. Don’t see a lot of those today.
The scenes where jack black is having withdrawls always killed me.
Get your own fkn jelly beans man, BOUNDARIES!
Cup em
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Drink the gravy!
When he was Strapped to that tree.. I hollered🤣🤣🤣🤣
He played the hell outta that part. I was in tears laughing. 😅😅
Me too😂😂😂😊
He was hilarious! Love that movie.
I don’t know , I had a problem when Eddie Murphy portrayed a white man on Saturday Night Live .
I shit my pants from laughing!
"I don't read the script.. the script reads me."
😃🙂😐 -RDJ
"spit that script shit out"!!
I'm a dude, playing a dude pretending to be another dude 😂
What the fuck does that even mean
Exactly. He's beibg a pretentious actor. @@brentarellano46
@@kittybrowneye3163*disguised as another dude.
And he didn't break character till the DVD commentary 🤣🤣🤣🤣Thats comedy mythic legend status
You mean until after the DVD commentary.
Can we just laugh😂😂😂 damn it was funny
I'm black and it was hilarious. And they asked the NAACP if they could do that. That's respect. And it was funny as Heeeeellllllll
I’ve been Black my entire life. I’ve seen Tropic Thunder about 30 times. I love it and I wish they would make a sequel!
I've been black for ten minutes and I too don't have a problem with blackface. 😅
Hell naaaaaw! No sequel. They did Zoolander 2 dirty.
@@Yea_Nuhfacts. Zoolander 2 was ass cheeks
Lmao I wished for a sequel until he mentioned zoolander 2 😅😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂
@liu3chan as a person who became a black Halo multiplayer this morning.. I support this message.
That wasn't RDJ that was Kirk Lazarus.
He was trying to do the dvd commentary 😂😂
Facts🤣
That was Kirk Lazarus as Tony Stark, reading his lines for another film, as RDJ.
@@CurriedBat underrated
😂😂
I saw Deon live in Philadelphia in 2005 or so. Dude was wildly funny. Cool guy
Movie is funny af. Robert Downey jr is amazing in every role.
Tropic Thunder is a classic hands down
Literally the only reason that I "agree" with people that say "You couldn't make a sequel TODAY!"
No disrespect to anyone potentially involved, but I don't WANT a sequel to this masterpiece!
I want a sequel to Blazing Saddles
@@justinkoeberl5797 Now THAT is a movie that even I think "couldn't be made today" 🤣❤️
(Although I DID say the exact same thing about a sequel to Coming to America, sooooo)
100%.. even the production value was outstanding. That opening scene in the jungle really looked like it could've been from Apocalypse Now.
Settle down francis we all agree @@TheDylls
I've never ever encountered this mythical creature that is "the person offended by tropic thunder". Ever.
If you do, I guarantee they were born after it came out.
@@DirtyBanditable Turns out i don't talk to too many 14 year olds, so it might be just that.
Which might change since 2023 is the first year where they were supposed to be watching it. Maybe now they'll get the jokes and be cool with them too.
You never been on Twitter where it’s a contest to be the most offended by everything
@@Huginn9129 There all the time. If anything, it's easier to find someone offended by hollywood "race swapping RDJ" and making him black because of "the woke agenda".
But then again, all content today is tailored towards the user, so i'm probably exposed to dimwits that see "wokeism" everywhere while other people are exposed to "sJwS" that see racism everywhere.
Not once, literally
Funniest thing man, that ish was hilarious 😂
It was LITERALLY a black man checking him the entire movie 😂😂😂. That was the whole point
Robert Downey, Jr.: “What do you mean, ‘YOU people’?”
Brandon T Jackson: “What do YOU mean, ‘YOU people’?”
😂
Even reading it is hilarious as hell. 🤣
That was my favorite line in the whole movie 😂🤣😂🤣😂
@@DontWorryAboutIt00 Thanks (edited)!
That was hilarious and is the point: he’s playing a tone deaf, egotistical white actor. (Australian, even… hmmm 🤔)
…exactly why the movie just brilliant in its satire… 👍🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
All this does is make me want to watch "Tropic Thunder" again.
A fantastic comedy.
Just watched it the other day, and loved it again 😂😂😂
It’s free on TH-cam now!
Downey Jr did GREAT period. Wow.❤
That was a very don’t-cancel-me-by-my-response answer.

Here's my mothefckin farm 🤣🤣
I almost walked out the theater during the trailers “Booty Juice and Bust a nut bar!” After I realized they going overboard I sat back down and laughed my ass off! 😂
I'm black and I don't know any black person who has a problem with it. It was HILARIOUS!!! Now, I have to watch some clips...
"What do you mean you people" ," What do YOU mean you people" lol. Great movie.
As a black man I love Tropic Thunder. I watch it several times a year. To me I actually thought that RDJ's character was the coolest of them all because half the time I'd forget that it was RDJ. The movie wasn't making fun of black folks. They were making fun of method acting. His impression of a black man was that of a really cool and badass black man. That's why his character gets called out for it the whole movie 🤣. I'm sure that people that have a problem with Tropic Thunder haven't actually watched the movie or they have a lousy sense of humour.
That's the problem with this country now, it's lost its sense of humor.
We used to make fun of ourselves and other people and be able to laugh about it, as long as it wasn't too personal.
Soon as we started making everything about the color of our skin, it became thin and weak and no one can joke about anything that has to do with it. It's ok to laugh at each other as long as we are with and for each other.
@@brianj3150 facts 💯
As a black man I think RDJ did a great job, #tropicthunder is a straight up classic!
Thank you 🙏 humanity needs a sense of humor to survive. We should take the piss of of these woke commies.
They have zero sense of humor
Its important to have an actual black character to consistently point out how fucked up and racist he was being just existing in black face "what do YOU mean 'you people?' "
The movie itself acknowledges he's doing black face. It's fucking part of the comedy of the movie.
He was making fun of people who did blackface. He wasn’t trying to play a black man. He was trying to play a white man doing blackface. Huge difference.
no he was actually making fun of hollywood always looking to cast white actors no matter what the race of the character they're playing is, while also making fun of delusional method actors who don't break character while filming. there's a lot of layers to Kirk lazrus lmao
@Thatthar899you lost me at the remake part. The film is literally perfect as is. There is no reason for a remake, reboot, sequel, or prequel. Anything more would ruin the films legacy.
@@bherbo3943
Not “No” but, rather “Also” to be more accurate.
I also kinda see it as making fun of method actors. “I don’t drop character till I do the DVD commentary” 😂😂 he’s just a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude.
To include those that went to far with method acting, because thats also an issue with acting now. That people go to far with method acting.
Tropic Thunder was GOLD! I still be laughing at RDJ's character. 😅😅
I think that was his best performance so far.
RDJ, portrayed a better Black American than any Caribbean or African actor could have ever portrayed in film.
We cannot relate to seeing a Caribbean or African portray us in a film, it comes off as a minstrel.
Strangely enough, RDJ portrayal was spot on and funny as hell😂.
The vernacular, mannerisms, and personality was spot on and relatable to most Black Americans.
I guess it’s an American thing.
Black America saw their average uncle June-Bug.
Uncle June-Bug talked a lot of $hit and didn’t care who liked it or not😂
Uncle June-Bug was a retired Veteran who served in the Vietnam war.
Tropic Thunder and White Chicks, 2 funny ass movies
Man Downey killed that role. Tom cruise too.
Downeys role wasn’t offensive at all, and the fact that they even had Brandon Jackson’s character roast Kirk Lazarus for playing a guy who’s playing guy that’s playing as another guy, was great. The writers outdid themselves lol.
Jamie Fox was the one that told him to do it and don't be scared about backlash
Jamie Foxx Also told DiCaprio to say N***** in Django... Moral of the story is nobody elected Foxx to be the voice of black people.
Blacklash
@@zeroa69 Beat me to it
@@zeroa69 dammit
Jaime Foxx is an insufferable asshole who ruined 2 of my favorite films
Never apologize for comedic genius
facts! thanks deion
The movie did to blackface what Avitar the Last Airbender did to sexism. They gave you a character that was over the top that you had to struggle to relate to and then they politely humbled that person and you see some form of character growth. That's why it's not offensive. That's why it's a good character.
If they didn't tell you that was Robert then you'd think he was black! He wasn't disrespectful to us! He looked & acted just like my pops, the shit was funny AF!
I'm black as the time between 1am and 5 am and I was 14 when I saw this. Snuck in to the theater and had my mind blown bc I did not know
I'm wyt but had no clue that was RDJ at first
I didnt know who RDJ was so I legit thought it was a real black dude and all the scenes where he was white I thought he was in White face not the other way around😅 like how they did White Chicks
I would love to meet your father.

One of the Greatest movie quotes of History.
Salute
Always been one of my favorites excellent line people are getting ridiculous
The thing about that line is it's a "real" line. He plays an Australian guy that gets casted to play a black guy. So if it was just a movie script to the actor he played then the line should have just been "I'm a dude disguised as another dude". So it's a subtle nod to the audience that he's a person in real life playing a fictional character disguised as another fictional character.

Tropic Thunder is funnier than several of the ones you listed. But he didn’t say the best, anyways. He said ONE OF the greatest.
@@roems6396 Humor is subjective, but…Tropic Thunder is not listed in any “top 100 comedy movies” googled. Not in IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, or any other movie critic list that I could find. But, ALL the movies that I listed were. Apparently the two of you have a very different concept at what is funny than the majority of the movie watching world, and the critics.
There is a moment where RDJ is playing a bad boy Australian actor playing a Black staff sergeant in 1970s Vietnam, pretending to be a Vietnamese rice farmer.. and all if it comes through in his voice and appearance. It's honestly legendary
and Tom Cruise was awesome too
It was actually comedic criticism of old Hollywood’s blatant racism of giving Black/Latino/Asian roles white actors.
I didn’t even know he wasn’t a black guy until he took everything off 😂😂😂
Don’t think anyone else could have played that role so perfect!
“WHERES THE EMOTIONALITY”
RDJ deserved an Oscar nomination for that role.
He did.
He got an Oscar Nomination for that role lol Too bad he was up against Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight that year lol
Yes
@@TheDeadJesterfuck, that is unfortunate
He should've won it
I'm glad Ben Stiller didn't apologize. Great man for standing his ground.
I’m a dude, playing another dude. 😂😂😂😂
RDJ didn't do blackface. He plays a character who did blackface.
Nice plot twist 😂😂😂
I just might watch that movie tonight, one of the best comedy movies.
EVER!
👍🏾 I second that
Exactly! One of the best comedy movies ever made of not the best in my humble opinion.
That movie funny ass hell RDJ kill it 😂😂😂
Tom Cruise was great also, as "Les Grossman."
When Robert said "what do u mean when u say u people " hilarious we all died laughing we knew he wasn't trying to crack on us at that point he became one of us!😂😂😂
And then he gets called out by Al and says “what do you mean you people.?” 😂 “you’re Australian be Australian.”
Vlad trying to gaslight people
ALWAYS
Facts
Maybe... But his opinion seems so common now that I actually thought that the interviewer was tossing him a softball
I hate Vlad for that. I remember a vid where he interviewed Micheal Jai White about the Joe Rogan controversy and he said basically that Micheal had to be outraged because Vlad doesn't let anybody say the N-word around him. I remember Micheal looking at him like" bro you know im black and your not "
I see that Vlad is still being a Culture Vulture. The more things change...
Maaaaan that character was funny AF😂😂😂😂😂
It was a great performance then and it's still a great performance now.
There’s always that one guy who just can’t let it go. Tropic Thunder is a comedy classic.
Idk man. I really don't hear anyone complaining about it. I think all the "outrage" is just fabricated

He shouldve got an oscar for that performance
He was up for it, unfortunately he was up against Heath Ledger's performance in The Dark Knight. Definitely deserved one though.
and that statue should have gotten a black face just to rub it in extra xd
Simple Jack?
“Went home empty-handed”
RDJ's character on Tropic Thunder was a comedic commentary on method acting taken a ridiculous level.
DUHHHHH it was a comedy! It was hilarious.
My favorite lines is when Ben Stiller says "what's wrong with you people?" RDJ says "what do you mean you people?" Then Brandon Jackson says "what do you mean you people?" to RDJ 😂
Fo 400 years that word has kept us down!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now brandon jackson is actually butthurt that he did “blackface”
“I’m the dude that’s playing the dude disguised as another dude” 😂😂😂
EXACTLY, its a funny situation because it's outlandish and wild. Well written, really.
"Whadaya mean, 'you people'"
"What do YOU mean 'you people '"
If you’re going to do something as risky as blackface you'd better give an Oscar worthy performance
