=== This show contained examples of the following: ===
* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: Jamie Foxx's Ugly Wanda.
* [[Camp Gay]]: ''Men on Film'' -- though they also examine books, television, art, vacation...
Line 31 ⟶ 30:
** Jennifer Lopez: Hosted a season 26 episode (2000-2001) and a season 35 episode (2009-2010). Is the only Hispanic celebrity to be a host and musical guest for two separate episodes. The first time she hosted had a sketch in which the ''In Living Color'' Fly Girls (all played by ''SNL'' cast members) visit her and tell her she lost her roots ever since she became famous.
** Damon Wayans: Was a feature player for ''SNL'' during its 11th season (1985-1986); got fired after playing a cop character as a [[Camp Gay]] (which he would use later for his "Men on Film" character) in retaliation for Lorne Michaels and the writers not giving him any decent roles in sketches. Despite this, Wayans came back to do stand-up on the last episode of season 11 ([[What Could Have Been|which was slated to be the last episode of the entire series]] because of how [[Seasonal Rot|bad]] it was) and hosted an episode in another season that was plagued with [[Seasonal Rot]]: season 20 (1994-1995 season). The episode Wayans hosted brought back two of his recurring ''In Living Color'' characters (Anton Jackson, the homeless wino and Blaine Edwards from "Men on Film." David Alan Grier also appeared as Antoine Merriweather from the same sketch).
* [[Depraved Kids' Show Host]]: Keenan Ivory Wayans' Homey D. Clown (and later, Candy Cane [Alexandra Wentworth]).▼
* [[Film Noir]]: The [[Deliberately Monochrome]] segments with [[Token White|Kelly Coffield]] as a stereotypical [[Femme Fatale]].
* [[Funny Background Event]]: The "Background Guy" skits with Carrey were based around this.
Line 49:
* [[Risky Business Dance]]: A [[Dead Baby Comedy]] version, where the Menendez brothers do the dance while wielding rifles.
* [[Sketch Comedy]]
▲* [[Depraved Kids' Show Host]]: Keenan Ivory Wayans' Homey D. Clown (and later, Candy Cane [Alexandra Wentworth]).
* [[Take That]]: The show often made fun of ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' for underusing its African-American cast members at the time (such as Tim Meadows and Chris Rock).
* [[Theme Tune Rap]]: By Heavy D, no less.
