    Thinking about when my kid said there's a funny looking movie on Netflix so I asked him what movie and he said he doesn't want to say because he doesn't know if it's a bad word so I said just say it, and he says "Norbit"

    When I was younger I had my first wank to Rasputia in Norbit because I didn't realise the whole point of the film was Eddie Murphy playing multiple characters and that it was just Eddie Murphy in a fat suit.

    Brian Wilson from a 2007 interview: Q. Have you seen any good movies lately? A. Well, I’ve only seen one in the last couple of years. It’s called Norbit by Eddie Murphy. Q. How did you like it? A. Fantastic movie. Very funny. Q. What’s your favorite movie? A. Norbit.

    Canonically, the only 5 movies we for sure know that Brian Wilson has seen are: - Pinocchio (1940) - The Birds (1963) - Seconds (1967) [freaked him out so much he didn’t see another movie until..] - ET (1982) And then of course - Norbit (2007)

    Today in ridiculous arguments it’s the cast of the Eddie Murphy movie Norbit, in which I say Eddie Murphy plays multiple roles, and Eddie Griffin is not Wesley Snipes and Thandie Newton is not Zoe Saldana. I don’t argue unless I’m sure I’m right, btw.

    We can enjoy a show. And be critical about things. Like I thought Norbit was a ridiculously funny movie growing up. But looking back the central joke of the movie was that she’s a fat black angry woman. Specifically playing the Sapphire caricature (an old Jim Crow trope of black women)

    I would also suggest that there is a big lack of comparative understanding. It's like if the only movie you had ever seen was Norbit...you might be inclined to believe that Norbit is a good movie b/c you have never seen a legitimately great movie.

    watched Norbit out of morbid curiosity, understanding that the cruel, politically incorrect "comedy" of the film emanates from the thematic question of "what if a woman (in particular an African American woman) was overweight," but was unaware of its secondary Q which was "what if a guy was Chinese"
