the whole token black guy has been around for a while now its the token gay man/woman thing.

There are others like the Token Big fat black woman with attitude. And also the token overly neurotic teenage American Jew, which has been popping into feature films with ever more frequency, but I guess that is to be expected, given Hollywoods penchant for stereotypes.

Token on GO! as I opened this thread. Spooky ghost episode.

Isn't the 95% of the guests on Jerry Springer and those other shows like his ?

There's a lot of token Asians starting to creep into TV ads these days...
like the Tam family

The Asian guy in the XXXX Gold ad where they're building the boat is one of them

i am surprised no one has come up with the following black guys from these movies:

1-Black guy in the Movie Evolution
2 - Fat Black guy in the movie Police Academy five i think he was named house
3- the famous Lethal weapon black people murtoughs and chris rocks character
4- Eddie Murphy (of course)
5- Black guy from black eyed peas was good in the Wolverine movie
6 - Ernie dingo in the 2nd Crocodile dundee and in fact all of the aboriginals in the croc dundee movies was great and brought laughs

Samuel L. Jackson

Carl Weathers for his work in Predator, Happy Gilmour and Arrested Development.

 

[The Passenger]

I don't watch much South Park but actually naming the black kid Token was pretty sharp.

even better - his full name is Token Black

one of the best character names of all time

 

[dumb]

the ones they wheel out whenever they want some aboriginal dancing and music as part of some ceremony/entertainment that needs to include our heritage.

[Jono B]

Johnson off Peep Show

"Don't be alarmed, Mark, its just Tai Chi. Take a seat and i'll just power through. Should take 45 minutes, Im done in ten, Stick that up your Dojo"

For the Polish market Microsoft's marketing department decided to photoshop the token black into a token white guy. Token asian doesn't seem to mind.

(bottom is real)

An early one - Ivan Dixon as Sgt. Kinchloe on Hogan's Heroes

One of the most patronising examples was the character of 'Sticks' the black drummer who appears on one episode of Happy Days as a guy Richie wants to invite to his party, but none of his white friends will turn up if he is there. Of course the Fonz steps in to teach everyone how bigotry is uncool. The actor that played this part eventually had a prolific career in pr0n.

i just remembered a few more token black guys from movies or tv shows here they are:

1 - Both of the wayans brothers have featured in movies or Tv shows and was very funny ( I particularly like the wayan brother that was in the movie the Glimmer Man )

2- Bill Cosby ( a king in his time and still is )

3 - Bill Duke ( he was also in Predator and he was also in Exit wounds , good actor)

4 - Spearchucker from M*A*S*H even though he only had a short role he was still good

5 - Michael winslow the sound effects guy from the police academy movies
