''Gimme a high-five!'' }}

[[Sitcom]] that ran on [[The WB]] from [[The Nineties|1995 to 1999]], staring real-life brothers Shawn and Marlon Wayans. The series' premise was pretty simple: The two brothers lived in a shared one-bedroom apartment in New York. Said apartment was above their father's restaurant, called simply "Pops", which the two would visit on occasion during the first season.

** In one episode Marlon says, "I haven't see Dee this angry since they cancelled [[Amen]]!" the actress who played Dee starred on the show.

* [[Age-Inappropriate Dress]]: the episode "Hip-Hop Pops" where Pops starts dressing and acting like someone in his 20's.

* [[Amusing Injuries]]: Some of the cold openings in the first season had Marlon electrocuted from fixing a toaster, burning alive from trying to cook french fries and having his [[Your Head Asplode|head explode]] from blowing up the hundtreth balloon for a party. Usually Shawn reacts nonchalantly about these situations.

* [[Annoying Younger Sibling]]: Marlon

* [[Bad Bad Acting]]: Shawn and Marlon do this when trying to lure a burglar back to their apartment to catch him.

** They also did it to sweet talk Pops to give his brother the loan.

* [[BBW]]: Dee

* [[Big Applesauce]]

* [[Show Within a Show]]: In the later seasons, Marlon gets a job on the show ''Everybody Loves Everybody''.

* [[Take That]]: Several celebrity jabs made by the brothers.

* [[Token White]]: White Mike

* [[Uncle Tomfoolery]]: Marlon sort of displays this in character on his show.
