@SuperWolsey A couple of those are Marvel heros (Black Panther and Luke Cage), and a couple of those hadn't yet been created in 1979 (Static and Steel).
The actor who played Ghetto Man is very brave, he brings the world together by making both blacks and whites want to kick his ass for being so offensive.
I don't know what the problem is. There are more black people in ghettos than white people. They need someone -- called Ghetto Man -- to represent the majority there. Hence, a black dude.
Besides he was a funny dude. And it was the fucking 70s, no one -- not even Ghetto Man had a fucking problem with this,.
@IndianaWalsh ONE of them and just for your information he was all ghetto at the begining. AND he was a SUBSTITUTE lantern. (yeah, I kind of hate the guy, I prefer Steel all the way, the best black superhero ever from DC)
@IndianaWalsh That black Green Lantern has been around since 1972, and his is one of 4 Earth Green Lanterns. Two are white, one black, and one is half-Latino (he has been around for 15 years now).
I remember seeing this when I was nine. THE CHALLENGE was cool enough for a kid, but THE ROAST I though was so boring. No fighting, no chasing, just sitting around to borschet-belt jokes. This stuck in my head for so long I thought I dreamed it up. Nice to know I wasn't the only one that rememberd this cheesefest.
OMG.. I watched this in 1979 when I was 6 years old, and it has stuck out in my memory all these years. Probably because it is the most BIZARRE thing ever to air on national TV. I mean, who the hell came up with this s***??!!
I remember being totally confused because the only "roast" I knew of was the kind you eat. LOL
@ReservoirDog1026, Chappelle would have been about 10 when this was on the air. I remember when this originally aired and was totally appalled. Liked the costumes and make-up, story and acting stank.
OMG O_O ! and I thought black vulcan was incredibly offensive cause they had to add the black into the name of an African American superhero. but this...this is 1400 different levels of racism . if you look backstage you'll find political correctness just hanged himself
@VsxFedora See Justice Legue/Justice Legue Unlimated the animated series plus several variations of the Green Lantern series. PS i know theres an army of green lanterns, also theres black lanterns, yellow lanterns, ect.
I have this feeling that fewer people would have called this horrible if Chris Rock had been involved, instead of Ed McMahon. N-word privileges, anyone?
I don't know, sounds like the same stuff you hear on Comedy Central today--jokes performed based on the demographic of the comedian because it's what that comedian works best with. It's unclassy, uncreative, and unfunny, but I wonder if it was the comedian's idea, or if the writers came up with it, because that makes the difference.
It's amazing that the "only black superhero" was some guy who actually shucked-and-jived like a good home boy. They actually dressed him in ghetto rags! Things have changed. A little.
Have you ever wondered why the earth is going subtly faster right now? It's because in 1979, Martin Luther King Jr. was spinning in the right direction.
it's funny .. i find this less racist than the shit we live in today .. if you think about it back then everyone knew black people were descriminated .. hell even tv shows were openly racist .. you can openly insult black people and they can openly ask you kindly to fuck off and get bent
now we can't talk about it, it's like it never even existed ... you know there are even more racism than before ... and you can't even dare say something ... the result is it only gets worse
this was one of the craziest shows i ever saw and i am grateful for the gutsy person for posting this
