In 2006, Half-Baked co-writer and frequent Chappelle collaborator (as well as director of The Goods) Neal Brennan directed Tracy Morgan, Chris Kattan and others in Totally Awesome, a spoof of 80s teen comedies which played once on VH-1 before going direct to DVD.  I’ve never seen it and it probably sucks, but this collection of Tracy Morgan outtakes and ad libs made me laugh so hard I had a miscarriage.

“So watchoo think, there’s some kinda yellow brick road?  And I’m the wizard?  There’s requirements to bein’ black!  There’s requirements!  You ever throw a chihuahua off the roof in the projects?  You ever got a female pregnant when you was like… seven?  Have you ever fist fought your pediatrician? Do you got a family-sized portrait of Jim Kelly on the wall?  Do anybody in your house sleep in a medicated bed?”

And it just goes on like that for nine minutes.  I’m 80% sure Tracy Morgan is clinically insane, but his insanity is somehow perfectly comedic.  Around the corner near my old apartment near Harlem, there was a black barber shop with an old picture with all these different hairstyles on it, and I swear to God one of the hair models was Tracy Morgan.  When he posed for it, I guarantee he didn’t know how funny it’d be once he got famous.  He probably wasn’t even thinking about it, and yet now it’s hilarious.  He’s a savant like that.
