You’ve seen him win a Teen Choice Award and jump out of the back of a car completely naked to attack someone’s face with his weird looking little armpit crotch (sadly, not on the same show), so does the image of Ken Jeong painted jet black offend or surprise you?
Tomorrow night’s episode of “Community” deals with Dungeons & Dragons, but it also deals with the very touchy subject of hilarious television blackface. It was pretty funny when Our Gang did it. Since then, not so much. Ben Chang is obviously a lunatic and painting himself like a Drow from D&D and not pulling a Roger Sterling, but Shirley makes a joke about it being a hate crime in the commercial, so what’re you gonna do. If you don’t know what a Drow is, they’re like the Viera from Final Fantasy Tactics without the bunny ears. Also, I have no idea what Final Fantasy or Dungeons & Dragons are.
For more Community-related D&D dorkery, head back to November, when Matt posted an amazingly accurate Community Alignment. Or don’t, and look slightly below these words.

When’s Justified on?
Also, Offerman was hilarious on Conan last night.

Oh, thank god! (*turns to rest of football team*) Hey, this guy’s all right, you guys!
He looks like a char-broiled Na’vi.

I hope Uproxx compensates you for filling in today, in addition to your regular social security payments.
I highly doubt this is going to be better than Lethal Weapon 5.

The hell you say.
While I do know what Final Fantasy is, I have no idea what Viera are. I’m assuming they’re elves with Playboy bunny ears.
But it’s cool, y’all. The Racist Prover can’t be racist.
Yup- I figured he was a drow before I even read the post. I HAVE NERD SHAME.
IMA CAST A SPEL:
KEEBORD CAT VS. CHANGFAYCE
It’s not black face. It’s from a 2008 documentary called “The Dungeon Masters.” The film follows some D&D enthusiasts as they live their (crappy) lives and use D&D to escape reality.
One chick dresses exactly like the picture of Chang. She’s an elf, or some shit.
It’s a good documentary.
You’re just saying Chang instead of change. It’s not even clever.
I thought that was some weird chick from some fucked up show about high school kids on MTV until I saw the peacock logo
This is actually ironic because the Drow are notoriously racist.
…
What?
An article on blackface on TV, and NOTHING about Lethal Weapon 5???
Spoiler alert, maybz?

I know..Racist AND Dumb Americans are Racist and Dumb
I’m really annoyed with this idiot, why try to be so over the top funny just to get attention while stereotyping and having misogynous movie roles? Doesn’t he realize, people are not laughing with him, they’re laughing at him! HE IS NOT A FUNNY GUY, HE KEEP SAYING THE SAME STUPID RACIST JOKES IN HIS COMEDY ROUTINE!! HE IS A BIG SELLOUT!!!
