Probably 50% Tyler Perry, 50% Lee Daniels.

Love Donald in a super silly over the top role. I don't blame the dude if he doesn't want to be defined by his early career stuff, but he's so good at it, so I'm happy to see him do something that felt tonally similar to Derrick Comedy

Also "We'll fix it in post" "But sir, the post department has been begging us to fix it in pre" is a perfect joke

Yes, very much so.

He runs the entire Black media and entertainment complex in Atlanta, effectively owns much of East Point (which is adjacent to College Park as they mentioned) since that's where his studios are and his shows/movies are legion.

Also presumedly Mr Chocolate himself was a riff on Tyler Perry (Donald Glove in a ridiculous fat suit)

drat this episode was both incredible television and the most perfect encapsulation of all the strong traits of Atlanta has as a show. I hope it wins every emmy.

Felt like Alan Rickman, a French James Bond villain, and Willy Wonka had a demented love child and it was Chocolate.

That episode and this season is so good.

Was dying at the kid thrown through the glass then Some Guy Named Doug’s song sound over the credits at the end

Also Albert has the absolute best “what the gently caress, I can’t even believe this poo poo” look of woe and weary exasperation

Darius trying to dance to the song to judge its quality and then getting confused because he couldn't find the vibe was incredibly funny to me. Like, he gave it a real chance with an open mind but it didn't work for him.

How is this show so consistently solid? So many parts that just crack me up. Paper Boi's reactions, Earn explaining the Culture's obsession with kicks is ridiculous then Darius going.... yeah-yeah I hear you but I really want these shoes.

Also I agree that Soulja Boy essentially created YouTube for better or worse.

Funny enough I had this song in my head for a bit trying to decide if it was ironically good and no.... its terrible. I was seriously humming it and whistling it for a bit before my brain stopped. I also tried dancing to it just to see if Darius was wrong and nope.... just can't.

Paper Boi's contribution to the song was absolutely incredible. "Yeah. Okay. You got your finger up I don't know wha....:sigh: yeah. Yep."

Just the way he launched in out of nowhere completely blind to the incredibly hosed up situation to spit his awful rhymes was the icing on the cake, and really put his wife's pained,"Maybe the rap career doesn't take off....?" attempt at conversation earlier into an amazing light.

It was just another confirmation that Earn did the whole thing with the sole intention of bringing Vanessa into a situation where he could persist with asking about LA. They'll never use another tent in their lives.
