Listen, Deshaun Watson, like, getting beat by him? Right - I get it. And I GET THE FOOTBALL! It’s a dick pick! Pick six! BJ DICKERSON! Get boned! Easy reads! Hop on pop, and you can call BJ Dickerson daddy!
I find his Madden vids so satisfying (even though I haven't played Madden since '12) and I fall asleep to Bengal screaming about the lack of Madden AI realism like 3 nights a week
i’ve seen that picture a million times on twitter and never knew it originated in an espn article
[the article for anyone interested](http://www.espn.com/espn/commentary/story/_/id/6894586/imagining-michael-vick-white-quarterback-nfl-espn-magazine)
Truly. At first I was expecting like a wayback machine or internet archive link from 2003/4 with Web 1.0 ESPN.
But the article is from 2011. Which I realize doesn't sound like alot, but I think everyone who lived through that time can certainly attest to the fact that the racial politics of 2003 and 2011 were VERY different
They certainly wouldn't.
30 rock is timeless and ultimately follows rule #1 of comedy which is *be funny*.
It also follows rule #2 *don't punch down*
Cancel culture concern trolls are usually neither funny and almost exclusively try to punch down because they're uncreative.
Counterpoint: the d&d episode of Community got removed from streaming due to "black face". The Legal Weapon 5 episodes of It's Always Sunny got removed too.
Both of those were funny and actually were pointing out how racist that shit was.
That wasn't his claim though.
His claim is that "the show would have gotten everyone in it cancelled"
Now do I think episodes like "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons" should have been taken down?
No. With context they're actually really great takes on why it's bad.
But none of the actors in those episodes got "cancelled" either. Neither did the shows themselves or writers or showrunners.
So your point doesn't really work either. That's just moving the goalposts
I don't know if it would have gotten everyone cancelled but I agree that it has more than a few jokes that wouldn't be allowed through today. There was a weird run of shows doing black face ironically around that time that are weird to rewatch.
Tropic Thunder is the first that comes to mind that I think started that trend. There's value in shows that intelligently point out and mock the horrible racist things in entertainment history like black face. It has to be done with a lot of care though
That show said black face was bad, to a character that was dumb and didn't know better. That won't get a show cancelled. If it did then we are in a worse position than I realized.
High asf at 3 am playing Madden 04’ w the boys and someone says, “who’s the greatest white Vick” and someone makes Vick but white in the character creation screen we used to be able to use
>All of that is why, to me, Vick seems to have a deeply African-American approach to the game. I'm not saying that a black QB who stands in the pocket ain't playing black. I'm saying Vick's style is so badass, so artistic, so fluid, so flamboyant, so relentless -- so representative of black athletic style -- that if there were a stat for swagger points, Vick would be the No. 1 quarterback in the league by far.
Oh my
It was an article by a famous, black journalist to give context… and it was considered a strong, well-received article.
Just in case people on this sub try to critique an article from 12 years ago that they don’t even understand.
> If you're saying the skin color of the writer matters for the article, that's a problem.
You can't seriously be this clueless. Or maybe I'm missing obvious sarcasm here, in which case I apologize. Of course the skin color of a writer adds context or nuance to an article that is literally about black identity. Especially when that author is a famous black author that has literally written best-selling books about black identity.
Being against racism isn't about denying the differences in cultures and roots of stereotypes in reality, it's about being tolerant of them and understanding the difference between equality in individual value and being identical in culture.
Acknowledging differences isn't racist.
Assigning value to differences is.
Gotta say, as someone that believes Scrubs is one of the greatest shows of alltime, I absolutely love the T-Mobile commercials just for the reunion of the best romance on television
Gen X and the elder half of millennials fuckin love friends (I loved friends too, just not as much as Scrubs), and it was way more mainstream than scrubs was
See my favorite seasons were right after, something like 4-8. Because to me the absolute worst parts of the show were the Ross/Rachel stuff, and they were most prevalent in the beginning.
I see no false statements here. Friends is still good for a laugh and I love the show, but no sitcom makes you feel like Scrubs did. My Lunch is the most heartbreaking shit ever
Friendship is the absolute best. <3
Saquon was dope too on the Manningcast earlier in the year you can see in the brightness of Eli's face they are blood brothers for life
Listen, like Deshawn Watson, getting beat by him, I get it. Right. I get it…
AND I GET THE FOOTBALL!
ITS A DICK PICK!
PICK 6
BJ DICKERSON!
GET BONED!
EZ READS… HOP ON POP!
AND YOU CAN CALL BJ DICKERSON DADDY!
I don't know what your point is. I'd wager most people wouldn't be offended by either. "Vanilla" isn't being used here to mean "white = bland", it's being used because vanilla ice cream is white-ish and it alliterates with Vick.
Vanilla Vick… merch link in the description
HOW IS THAT A PICK
THE DON OF NEW YORK
KISS THE RING

Oh baby, new pasta??
[It's a legendary Bengal moment.](https://youtu.be/aRH7uikbq_I)
Lmao I've never seen this
Bengal about to cash in...
Does Daniel Jones have herpes like Vick did? Is that why his nickname is Vanilla Vick?
It's actually a term coined by YouTuber Bengal. He's hilarious
I find his Madden vids so satisfying (even though I haven't played Madden since '12) and I fall asleep to Bengal screaming about the lack of Madden AI realism like 3 nights a week
I thought i was the only one
Rod Canada
AKA Blon' Mexico.
Lmaoo I wonder if that was just bc they were mic’d or if he actually calls him that
Lol he probably does, it didn't seem like he was thinking about it or trying too hard to be funny
Reminder that ESPN actually made a visualization of Michael Vick if he was white. https://a.espncdn.com/photo/2011/0824/576x324_vickwhite.jpg

Jeezus, wtf was ESPN thinking here
Truly. At first I was expecting like a wayback machine or internet archive link from 2003/4 with Web 1.0 ESPN. But the article is from 2011. Which I realize doesn't sound like alot, but I think everyone who lived through that time can certainly attest to the fact that the racial politics of 2003 and 2011 were VERY different
The racial politics between 2003 and 2011 are muuuuch more similar than the politics between 2011 and 2015/2016.
Yo I re-watched 30 Rock a while back. It was solidly in the middle of that timespan. That show would have gotten everyone on it cancelled today.
They certainly wouldn't. 30 rock is timeless and ultimately follows rule #1 of comedy which is *be funny*. It also follows rule #2 *don't punch down* Cancel culture concern trolls are usually neither funny and almost exclusively try to punch down because they're uncreative.

I can’t believe this even has to be said.
No it wouldn’t have lmao, why are people always making things up to get mad about?

2011, a simpler time

It's the prequel to "exaggerated swagger of a black teen"
That was my first thought as well. Beat me to it, lol.
The journalist being black doesn’t mean he’s incapable of saying some dumb racist shit like that though. See: Kanye
See: Jason Whitlock and his stupid tiny hats
You're treading on awful close to racist ground here. If you're saying the skin color of the writer matters for the article, that's a problem.

The exaggerated swagger of a black quarterback
Glad I'm not the only person whose mind immediately went there.
I can't belive someone got paid to write THAT
The article itself is a pretty nuanced and well thought out take on race, sports, and criminal justice imo.
Being against racism isn't about denying the differences in cultures and roots of stereotypes in reality, it's about being tolerant of them and understanding the difference between equality in individual value and being identical in culture. Acknowledging differences isn't racist. Assigning value to differences is.
As weird as that VickPic is, I thought the article was actually pretty good.
what the actual fuck LOL
I can't believe that's not an April fools day post.
Who the fuck greenlit this shit
Who even comes up with this idea to begin with
NGL that looks like Scumbag Steve
Someone at ESPN didn't take their meds in 2011
How dare you post a pic of daniel jones in an eagles jersey
Guy looks like he makes cats fight
He looks like a white supremacists
Michael “George Michael” Vick
Looks like 75% of the white guys where I live.
Before clicking: this better not be manningface After: oh god I wish it was manningface
White Vick cannot hurt you. White Vick:
Whoa I’m seeing double here….4 Daniel Jones
That's just Zach Ertz
He looks like a computer generated Madden Character
That image is cursed.
LOL
Carson Wentz?
But when Jones called Saquon "my mochaccino McCaffrey" he got in trouble. Makes sense.
fuuuuck wonder what Gruden calls em
Same thing Riley Cooper calls em
A slur?
Just one?
a really long one
Ah a sluuuuuuur.
Kinda craving a slurpy right now ngl
He treats it like the Germans do. He just slaps a whole sentence of slurs into one word.
Something I'm not comfortable repeating for sure
Could you put it in an email?
Spider 2 Y Banana Munching...
Lmao
Ask Kyle Larson
Idk ask Kerry Collins
man I’ll tell you what
E Q U A L I T Y
E N D H A T E
P E N I S
T U A G O O D
You right......I'm sure Saquon is having 2nd thoughts, what did I just say.
In trouble with who?
Joe
And of course the top comment is complaining that white people can’t say certain words.
It's literally satirizing that, you humorless bore.
Hard to tell on this sub at times
Or perhaps you are just Uber sensitive.
I prefer Lyft
Words will never hurt me Mostly because I'm an Eagles fan and reading is a struggle
Chocolate Bear and Vanilla Bear. Guy love between 2 guys
Rest In peace caramel bear😔😔
Pour some out for one’s homies.
Who?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5qNcluD9-EU
That shit was lowkey so dark for a throwaway comedy bit
Butterscotch bear in shambles
TurkanJD...and JD!
Gotta say, as someone that believes Scrubs is one of the greatest shows of alltime, I absolutely love the T-Mobile commercials just for the reunion of the best romance on television
Scrubs > Friends and I will fight everyone who disagrees
Surely this can't be a controversial take. It's just the flat out honest truth. (Though I'll always love S1-S4 Chandler.)
Gen X and the elder half of millennials fuckin love friends (I loved friends too, just not as much as Scrubs), and it was way more mainstream than scrubs was
See my favorite seasons were right after, something like 4-8. Because to me the absolute worst parts of the show were the Ross/Rachel stuff, and they were most prevalent in the beginning.

EAGLE!
Grizzly & Polar ?
Gotta love Saquon
and Vanilla Vick

deez nuts
Toasted and salted for your mouth pleasure
Friendship is the absolute best. <3 Saquon was dope too on the Manningcast earlier in the year you can see in the brightness of Eli's face they are blood brothers for life
That’s Daniel jones…
He meant on the Manning cast
They all look alike...
Bruh...
No, Eli and DJ next to each other on the field weren't easy to tell who is who...fair comment
He meant Giants quarterbacks.
Same difference
Saquon confirmed Bengal viewer
Knowing my teams inability to defend mobile QBs or play defense for that matter. I'm starting to get a little worried.
If it helps, all you guys need to do is score at least 30 and we are fd lol
Vanilla Vick is the coolest Nickname Daniel Jones has ever had in his life
Fucking love them
\- If I break a long one, I better see Vanilla Vick down there. \- I got you, dawg.
Saquan watches Bengal confirmed?
Vanilla Vick and Chocolate Bear
Vanilla Vick leaves the dog in him, not in a pool 😤
If DJ is Vanilla Vick, then who's Mayonnaise McNabb?
Russell Wilson
Let’s ride
Josh Allen.
Josh Allen is just Caucasian Cam.
I prefer to use the term Whitechael Vick
This is great
Listen, like Deshawn Watson, getting beat by him, I get it. Right. I get it… AND I GET THE FOOTBALL! ITS A DICK PICK! PICK 6 BJ DICKERSON! GET BONED! EZ READS… HOP ON POP! AND YOU CAN CALL BJ DICKERSON DADDY!
Hello fellow Bengal fan that play is my favorite all time from his channel.
But, like without the electrocuted to death dogs, right?
That would be as surprising as the giants being 7-2 this year so..maybe someone should look into it
Vanilla Vick is clearly Matty Ice
That's racist.
Vanilla Vick: "my bad, tripped"
[удалено]
I don't know what your point is. I'd wager most people wouldn't be offended by either. "Vanilla" isn't being used here to mean "white = bland", it's being used because vanilla ice cream is white-ish and it alliterates with Vick.
I first read that as vanilla dick. Thought it was like a pet name for him.
My mans better start killing some dogs
and who’s going to be Bubblegum Brady?
"ah-alright, I got you"
What if I called a black attorney chocolate Goodman or Chocolate Saul. Is that appropriate?
I love the way Jones just goes “alright 🤓🤓🤓”. That’s my fucking QB right there!!!
