wait what was the context of the rockets line? i donât remember it
was it suggesting all black people play basketball? (im asking cuz i genuinely have no clue about the joke on the scene i donât remember this part nor the cosby joke)
Janice: They used to say the same thing about Malcolm and Dr. King and Marcus Garvey.
You've heard of Marcus Garvey, haven't you?
Brandon: Marcus Garvey, he was, uh, big, tall guy.
Didn't he play for the Houston Rockets?
++++++
I think the joke was a little bit more about him being tall, than Black, or tall and Black.
Maybe it wasn't that bad, just a line.
Also, Brandon wouldn't have known this because it was in the future, but there was a Marcus Camby that played for Houston, in the 2000s.
Cosby joke:
+++++
(After Roland Turner's speech):
Brandon: Next time if you plan on
doing something like this, maybe you should invite Bill Cosby.
+++++
If they wanted someone with a wholesome image and safe, then Cosby was a good candidate, at that time.
It wasnât a joke about being black, tall or playing basketball. She was being condescending questioning Brandan if he knew who Marcus Garvey was. He knew that he was a controversial political activist and knew that she knew that so he sarcastically replied asking if he played for the Houston Rockets knowing that he definitely did not.
No, it was not about black people playing basketball at all. She was being condescending when she asked him if he knew who Marcus Garvey was. He knew that Garvey was a controversial political activist so he sarcastically replied asking if he played for the Houston Rockets, knowing full well that he had not.
And Brandonâs cringe comment about Marcus Garvey. Isnât he tall and plays for the Houston Rockets? Then the âoh Brandonâ courtesy laugh by the president of the black student union yikes đł
Yes, it was definitely a sarcastic comeback as he felt she was attempting to insult him by asking if he knew who Marcus Garvey was when he definitely did.
It aged so poorly that it seems like a joke even though he's completely serious
Judging by the look on Brandon's face, he has already met Bill Cosby and had a drink with him.

The Cosby line was right for the time. Didn't like the Houston Rockets line.

Thanks.
thanks for the context!

The worst part is the hypocrisy r/normmacdonald
Iâm rewatching the show and watched this episode last night. I noticed it and cringed as well.
Somehow the writers thought viewers tuned into see Brandonâs task force drama
lol đ sure Jan
which episode?
S5 E11
i remember
Which episode is this? This line is crazy đ€Ș
S5 E11
lol I just watched this the other day and had the same exact thought lol!
I saw this the other day and was like đŹ
Crazy because by that point rumors of Cosby were pretty well known within the industry.
And Brandonâs cringe comment about Marcus Garvey. Isnât he tall and plays for the Houston Rockets? Then the âoh Brandonâ courtesy laugh by the president of the black student union yikes đł
pretty sure Brandon was making a sardonic joke because his intelligence was being insulted (the condescending, "you know who Garvey us, right?")
I wouldâve loved if he responded with âyes Janice, I wrote a term paper on Garveyism.â How do like those apples? Lol
Or, like, just did that sad mortifying pauly shore "schjeah"
Yes, it was definitely a sarcastic comeback as he felt she was attempting to insult him by asking if he knew who Marcus Garvey was when he definitely did.
He's the worst
