They should have killed him in the first act.
How they gonna kill Othello? How Othello gonna do himself in with a dagger, - how doth that happen? - Let me tell you something, if a brother kill himself every time he broke up with a white bitch, this world would be bereft of brothers.

Okay.
Okay, let me ask you a question.
What do you call those little plastic building blocks? What you mean, Dickos? Name a famous comic strip detective.
Leg Tracy.

Okay, you done.
You done.
Give me that.
All right.
Yo, you just gotta You gotta leave now, huh? Just 'cause I got a dick up on you? I'm a-leg-ted to marijuana.
You guys know this rule in football, excessive celebration, right? That a player can get a penalty flag for celebrating excessively in the end zone.
What I don't understand is, they're so disciplined to learn the skill of playing football, you'd think they'd have enough discipline to get in the end zone and just be like If anything, doing the Funky Chicken after you get a touchdown exemplifies the fact that you didn't expect you were going to get a touchdown.
It would be so much cooler if you just ran You should just score a touchdown, be like, "Boop, this is what I do every day, "[bleep.]
it.
" And we're coming to the end of the first quarter with the Rhinos in the red zone for the first time.
Gotta say, Bill, I like watching these Rhinos.
Ransom takes the snap, drops back with good protection, and that's a completed pass to a very wide-open Hingle McCringleberry, the rookie out of Penn State.
Nice grab by McCringleberry.
You think he's happy? Oh, boy, he is loving it down there.
Oh, we got something of a shooting gallery going on.
Yeah, look at that.
Boy, that is something, and Oh, wait, we've got a flag there.
Is that for excessive celebration? Oh, see, I'm not sure about that call.
I don't know, Bill.
That was three pumps, and the rulebook says you cannot have more than two.
Oh, my gosh, but look at the kid.
He's pleading his case with the ref.
Pleading his case.
Yeah, clearly three pumps.
Coach Hohnson definitely not happy - about this call.
- Two pumps! Five minutes into the fourth quarter, Third and ten, the Rhinos again threatening to score.
Can the Cougars hold them? Big play coming here, Bill.
Ransom takes the snap, drops back, He floats one into the end zone, and McCringleberry pulls it down.
- He's got it.
- Oh, my gosh.
For his second touchdown of the day for this rookie, he has gotta be feeling great about himself.
Nicely done.
I'll tell you, man, he's Oh, oh, see, now there's two pumps.
Yeah, he's really testing the boundaries, and he's clearly gotten the ref's attention here.
A third pump will draw a flag no matter what.
See oh, he just did it again.
Now what is that, the second time? Now you have to flag him on this.
Yeah, he had to.
You know, Bill, It's just frustrating seeing young players without the ability to restrain themselves.
No, it really is.
It's hard.
I mean, the ref's gonna get you every time.
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
See, now the ref agrees that's three pumps Right there.
And the quarterback Ransom under center.
Last five minutes of the game.
The Rhinos are marching here again.
Hard to stop this team from scoring, Bill.
They have so many weapons.
Ransom takes the snap.
And it's a shovel pass to McCringleberry, who He's at the 10.
He's at the 5.
- And touchdown, Rhinos.
- Oh, my.
Great block by Hardunkichud, and that's gonna be tough for the Cougars to come back from.
Boy, what a career day from Hingle McCringleberry, The rookie out of Penn State.
Oh, he was just amazingly fired up here today, Jim.
You gotta love the way this guy plays, - and he - Ohh.
- See, now there's one pump.
- Uh-oh.
I cannot believe this kid.
You got to put your team first in situations like this, And McCringleberry's just not doing that.
Now there's two.
Jeff, now if he pumps a third time, he will draw his third penalty for today.
Everybody here waiting with bated breath.
- He did it.
- Oh, did he? - Yes, he did it.
- Oh.
That's just - Couldn't help himself.
- That's just amazing.
I mean, come on, in professional football - it's a shame.
- That's what it is.
- Yes, yes, it is.
- You can argue all you want, but the flag, well, it's been thrown.
That's right.
If it's three pumps, The ref's not gonna take it away now.
No, he's not.
Duration and intensity - doesn't make any difference.
- Well, Jeff, let's have a look at the replay here to see if indeed he did do - the three pumps.
- All right.
No question.
- There is the first one, right? - Yeah.
Agreed.
And then coming up - is the second one.
- Okay.
Yes, very clear.
- It's the third - We'll see it.
- It's coming up right here.
- I'm just not sure.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
There's absolutely three pumps there.
- Oh.
- Uh, apologies to all those watching with young children.
Clearly unintentional.
Our writing assistant James, he's a white guy, And, you know, he basically his job is to kind of read back stuff that we write, and so sometimes we'll just mess with him by just, like, putting the N-word in a sketch, like, 50 times.
He does everything in his power to be politically correct.
James, read that back to me, read that back to me.
He's like, "All right, well" I gotta hear that back.
Quick, quick, fast, fast, fast.
Read it fast, Read it fast.
- Uh - Rapid-fire, rapid-fire.
I'm gonna read it with you.
I'm gonna read it with you.
What's up, my unh? Ain't nothing wrong, man.
I'm just hanging, my [bleep.]
.
What's going on? Just unh, please.
Don't go next door.
There's some crazy [bleep.]
over there.
Uh, you got that right, unh.
Marjorie, I'd love a cupcake.
Thank you so much for coming today.
As you know, every year the vice president hosts The annual company luncheon, so I brought you here to make sure that none of my material could be in any way misconstrued as sexist or racist or homophobic.
So, if you hear anything that could be in any way offensive to anyone, just raise your hand, and Oh, I haven't really started yet.
Did you find something offensive? The fact that you think I need a man's permission to raise my hand is insane.
I can raise my hand whenever I want to raise my hand because I'm a free woman.
So I should just raise my hand like this, like a big, old black power fist, yeah, huh, boss man? Is that what you want from me? Is this what you wanted? A floppy gay hand just floating around in the air.
Well, here you go.
Here's my floppy gay hand at the end of my limp, gay wrist.
- Happy? - No.
Jesus, no.
Wow, what? Why not "Mary, no," Or "Rachel, no," Or "Bathsheba, no"? Why does it have to be Jesus, a man? And are we talking about the Jesus that accepts everyone or the Jesus who doesn't believe people should be able to love who they love? Oh, maybe I should just break out in some gospel songs, screaming and hollering and hooting, "Oh, Lordy, Lordy.
" No, this isn't the speech yet.
Can I just do the speech? Oh, you want this bitch to shut up? - Is that it? - What's the matter? The black guy's making way too much noise in your movie theater, Massa? Forgive me for lisping And lilting through your speech.
- No, I just meant - Whoa! What's with the hands, man? I ain't gonna shoot ya.
What, are you gonna grab my breasts now? Protect yourself from the gay invasion.
- Guys.
- Ho, "Guys," should I leave? Sorry, men and women.
Let's exclude everybody who identifies themself as something else because they're not people! I meant people.
Whose people? My people? Do I speak for my people? - All right.
- More like "All white.
" More like "No rights.
" More like "Women are second-class citizens, right?" Okay, stop, men, women, people of all ethnicities, genders, sexual orientation, religion, can I please just get to my speech? Fine.
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
Okay, here goes.
A Chinaman, a Pollock, and an Arab walk into a bar I love Arab jokes.
Ching-chong, bring it on.
You had me at "Pollock.
" Good evening, my fellow Americans.
Every day our citizens improve the lives of those around them.
Today we honor Troy Morrison.
Now Troy was in geometry class when his teacher mentioned the hypotenuse of a triangle.
Troy said, "I wish I was high on potenuse.
" That really cracked me up, and it cracked up the rest of America too, so today I'm pleased to present Troy with the Congressional Comedy Medal of Honor.
Troy, on behalf ff the entire country, I just want to thank you for your fantastic, off-the-cuff line.
You are a true comedy hero.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
And also, Mr.
President, I have something for you.
What's that? Oh! He got me one.
Yes.
These are sold out.
I haven't been able to get my hands on one of these.
Thanks, Troy.
Oh, my God.
"High on pot-enuse.
" We killed that last one.
Talkin' about ah, ah, ah! - Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Come on, come on.
That's excessive.
That's excessive.
- Good night, everybody.
- Good night.
I'm gonna do my one line here Oh, yeah.
