Hi, I'm Loomis Simmons.

Ladies, do you long for
the pitter-patter...

of tiny little feets
in your house?

Are you worried that the cuckoo bird
in your biographical clock...

has stopped laying eggs?

I hope so. But you don't have to
worry when you let me...

knock you up!

The plan is simple to follow.

Call me, Loomis...

and I will send you one of
my motivational tapes...

recorded on these high quality
eight-track cartridges.

It'll get you in the mood for one of
our romantical encounters.

- Let's listen.
- ♪♪ [Romantic]

My chéri "amoivra."
This is your last chance!

Ain't no man
in his right mind want you!

Your ovaries ain't no good.
They look like raisins.

Loomis is the man.
Loomis is the man.

Loomis is the mannn!

Mmm!

Don't that just
make your nature rise?

Next, I, Loomis Simmons,
will come up in through your crib...

and introduce ya
to my partner.

You know what I'm
talkin' about?

Maybe two or three times
if necessary.

Now, you may think,
"But, Loomis...

I'm too butt ugly for even you
to want to knock me up."

And you're probably right.
But when I gently apply...

my special beauty enhancer
over your mug...

even I can get the job done.

And don't forget Loomis's
no-return guarantee.

As soon as you drop that calf,
I ain't comin' back.

Let's listen to one of
my satisfied customers.

My wife and I
wanted to start a family...

but our schedules always seemed
to conflict, so we called Loomis.

Now we're
one big happy family.

Thank you, Loomiseses.

So do what thousands of other
hard up heifers have done.

Call - -K-N-O-C-K-UP today...

and before you know it,
you'll be carryin' your own bundle of joy...

or as I, Loomis, like to call it,
"a fruit of Loomis"...

when you let me knock you up!

[Announcer] And now a word
from the Corlick sisters.

Actually, this commercial is
meant to serve as an apology.

Right. Believe it or not,
they've had some complaints...

from some of the black customers
here at Lenny's.

- That's "Deny's."
- Oh.

And you black people,
I realize that whole sl*very thing...

might have been
a little unpleasant.

- Oh, it's a darn shame.
- But we're not here to change the world.

- My, my, no.
- We're just here to serve...

the kind of food weirdos
and insomniacs love to eat.

And any other religion.
Makes no difference to us.

- Oh, you are a moron!
- We're through talking about religion.

Let's talk about all
the new black people we bought.

- You mean "hired"! People used to complain...
- Yeah.

There was only one black guy working here,
and he was mopping the floors.

Now we have four guys mopping the floor,
and we've changed our venue.

- That's "change of menu."
- Right.

We serve the same food
full of flavor and Geritol.

- That's "cholesterol"!
- That's right.

And we've given our new name
to appeal to Africans and Farrakhan.

- Oh, that's "African-American"!
- Okay, smarty-pants.

- Let's talk about the bibs.
- That's "ribs."

Just look at our new
"Baby's Got Back" Ribs.

Oh, God, this sucks!

That's not all that sucks.

There's also our special
Drive-By Breakfast.

I just love those dead pigs
in a blanket.

And be sure to try our all new
Grand Slambo Dinners.

And we've added extra watermelon
to our stolen car.

- That's the "salad bar"!
- Eat up, house fly.

That's "homeboy"!

[Announcer] Now, from the director
of Boys in the Hood...

comes a film
starring JanetJackson...

as a singer who shouldn't
try to do movies...

and Tupac as a rapper
whose mother named him...

him after a cheap way
to buy toilet paper.

They were both looking
for a little UnpoeticJustice.

Yeah, Chicago, he fine.

There he is.
Isn't he cute?

Girl, you need to roll up
to Oaktown with us.

Girl, you trippin'. JanetJackson
don't ride in no mail truck.

- [Scoffs]
- How long you been doin' hair anyway?

[Thinking] I don't do hair. I make up
poems and say them to myself.

Today, this movie opens.
Tomorrow, the video shelf.

Girl, what's wrong with you?

Hey, baby.
Damn, them jeans is tight!

[Thinking]
Tight. My jeans are too tight.

It takes four people
to pull them off me at night.

Let's cut the bull.

I know what you really want.

What I really wanna know is,
what you doin' in this movie...

when you've never been to the hood
a day in your life, understand me?

[Thinking]
I do not like being in the hood.

I do not like it,
though I should.

I do not like
green eggs and ham.

I do not like them,
Sam I am.

Tell me, baby,
how you get a name likeJustice?

- It's a long story.
- Hey y'all, I just remembered.

- This is a John Singleton movie!
- Oh, yeah.

- Bleep you!
- Well, bleep you!

- Well, beep you!
- Well, beep, bleep, bleep, bleep!

- Well, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep you!
- Well, beep, bleep, then...

bleepy bleep, bleep!

Now that the cursing's over,
it's time to hear some more voices.

Why couldn't I get
Whitney's role in The Bodyguard?

Oh! Oh,

Attention Kmart shoppers.

We have a blue-light special

Now available, video copies

UnpoeticJustice.

It's notjust a movie,

We don't know

Some of you are stunned by Thomas Hearns's
choice of a challenger for his comeback.

His opponent, a virtual unknown
by the name of Carl "the Tooth" Williams...

unranked by the W.B.A.,
the W.B.C., the I.B.F. And the W.B.F.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Carl "the Tooth" Williams.

[Reporters Shouting Questions]

Tooth, where were you born,
Tooth?

Basically,
I was born though in C.P.T.

Uh, Mr. Williams, what would you say
to those who contend...

that you're completely
out of your league...

and no match for Mr. "Hitman,"
Thomas Hearns or somethin'?

Well, I think they should read
the paraphernalia.

- Well, what about your record?
- My record speaks for itself.

Uh, Tooth, your record is
and .

Yeah, but I'm closing in fast
on that number.

But, uh, like I said,
my record speaks for itself...

but it don't necessarily
speak for myself.

Whatever I had said.

And, anyway,
I got new techniques right now.

- Ah, training techniques?
- No, actually, I got new brushin' techniques.

See, I feel that a clean toofus
is a happy toofus.

Tooth, I've got
a question for you.

What would you say
that Muhammad Ali...

Joe Frazier and George Foreman
all have in common?

Uh, basically, uh,
they all kicked my ass.

Ladies and gentlemen, Tommy Hearns
is entering the building now!

- Where he at? Where he at?
- ♪♪ [Hip-Hop]

Uh, Mr. Hearns...

- [Female Reporter] Tooth, what are you doing?
- I'm staring him down.

I'm getting into his head.

- But that's his manager.
- Oh, say, yeah, I knew that. I knew that.

Uh, Mr. Hearns... Mr. Hearns,
can I ask you a question?

There are some people out there who think
that Carl "the Tooth" Williams...

poses no danger
to your title.

Well, that's not true. Every bone
in his body has been broken...

so that makes him flexible.

Tooth, you've gotta feel like you're
pretty much completely out of your league.

Well, you know, basically,
that's what they had said...

when I fought Sugar Ray Leonard
and Chavez.

Right. And Sugar Ray Leonard
broke your spine and your jaw...

and knocked you out
in seconds.

Well, he did, but a lot of people
didn't report...

that I was back on solid foods
within weeks.

Tooth, whom do you credit
your success to?

I credit all my success
to the man upstairs.

- God?
- No, Mr. Johnson in -B.

He used to run me
down to the gym every day.

And I also give it up to my mama.
Come on out, Mom!

- M-M-Mrs. Williams!
- [Reporters Shouting]

Just call me "Gums."

Oh. Oh, listen, son,
you forgot your tooth protector.

- There you go, baby.
- Thank you. Ah. Ah.

- There you go.
- [Male Reporter] Uh, Mrs., uh...

Mrs. Gums, what was it like bringing up,
uh, your... your son?

I remember the very first day
of second grade.

He come home,
his eye all swoll up shut.

And he just kept sayin',
"Cut me, Mommy. Cut me, Mommy."

He was so cute. You know, we didn't have
much money back in them days...

but luckily, it seemed like the Tooth
Fairy would be there every other day.

- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, and basically, as Mom had reiterated...

- I was tryin' to...
- Don't interrupt your mama!

[Groaning]

That was a cheap sh*t,
'cause it was after the bell had rang.

I feel I will regain my title.

But after that falling down,
I feel like I'm kinda warmed up now.

Look out!
[Laughs]

You warmed up, huh? Come on.
I got something for you.

You fall to all the contenders
from Tyson to Ali...

but, boy, you must be crazy
to step into the ring with me.

- Whoa!

- I got your back, son. Don't worry. Don't...
- Hey, hey!

Hold on. It wasn't like that.
You gotta understand.

Listen to me. Listen to me.
Let me talk to you. I wanna talk to you.

Oh, I don't believe it!
