Okay kids, let's sing the Homey the clown song

My white dad was from a multi ethnic neighborhood and all you ever heard in our house was Black music. He moved us to a conservative neighborhood in Orange County CA, and I knew all the rap and R&B songs before anyone at my school. Reciting MC Hammer and all the In Living Color skits word for word before anyone knew them was my secret weapon to being cool.

I fucking had a Homey the Clown DOLL. No idea where it went 😭😭

Sam81818@reddit

I had one too! I was working at Value Village in high school and it appeared and I bought it.

More importantly, where did it come from

My dad was racist and said I wasn’t allowed to watch “black shows”. Funny how he conveniently forgets ever saying this to me and thinks he’s not racist.

TheCynFamily@reddit

I caught myself from saying the phrase to my 22-year old. I figured it would take longer to explain, so I just said, "yeah, I don't do that."

And I felt like I cheated us all out of this classic lol

Growing up my friend Tommy and I would regularly have "Homie sock wars". Start with knee length sock (soccer socks being the best). Stuff as many other socks into it as you. Use as a flail and destroy your opponents.

Me and my brother did this as kids way before the show came out. We called em “sock fighters” and those things hurt way more than you’d expect. It usually devolved in to an actual physical fight once one of us inevitably swung too hard.

little boys will turn anything into a weapon

i can remember "shooting" each other with candy canes

Stinertron_1979@reddit

Same!

NW_Forester@reddit

After you scored a solid hit would you shout at your opponent "HOMIE DON'T PLAY DAT!"?

[-]

Stinertron_1979@reddit

Hell yeah we did!!

epidemicsaints@reddit

A lot safer than the roll of quarters in pantyhose from Death Wish.

NW_Forester@reddit

After we watched Full Metal Jacket we tried it with soap and holy fuck that hurt. We went back to socks after one time of that.

[-]

epidemicsaints@reddit

LOL Then we watched The Deer Hunter and got a gun...

Lmao 🤣 that’s awesome!

everyone in 4th grade loved this show so much. except my teacher. she haaaaaated it.

GutsAndBlackStufff@reddit

Why's there no Funko pop of Homey?

[-]

TPlain940@reddit

Bruh I didn't know I needed this until just now 😩

Fun-Preparation-4253@reddit

I think this is a solid split between Xennials and Millennials. WE remember In Living Color, but there are a lot of Millennials who weren’t there

last month I was on a trip for work and we went to a wahlburgers, I called it the place owned by Marky Mark, and nobody got what I was talking about

I remember there being a playground rumor that someone dressed as Homie the clown was kidnapping children. Not sure if that was just my circle of friends though.

Had a friend who did the Damien Wayne’s bum charter with the pickle jar no black face as well.

My sister, who's 3 years younger than me has never heard of Homey

[-]

DataCrossPuzzles@reddit

She might have been too young for In Living Color. I was lucky my parents let a tween have a television in his room.

[-]

Gian_Luck_Pickerd@reddit

I never saw it much when it first aired either. Even when I said "Homey don't play that", she didn't know what I was talking about. Oh well

[-]

No_repeating_ever@reddit

Yep! I got that this morning too!

[-]

_R_A_@reddit

I was seriously wondering if this was going to trigger a post on the sub today.

Prudent_Being_4212@reddit

These horrible kids these days have no idea when I tell em that, or call them Bebe['s] Kids, just how close they comin to pissing me all the way off. Lol

[-]

Prestigious-Emu7325@reddit

I really appreciate seeing Homey twice in one day- this morning on a NYT game, and now. My big brother died in July and he had the corniest sense of humor sometimes- this was one of his go-to quotes.

asmrgurll@reddit (OP)

Awe I’m sorry for your loss! Im glad there are some reminders like this. 🫶🏼

I DON’T THINK SO
