Only ONE man ever pulled it off

“I DON’T READ SCRIPTS -> Scripts read me…” Greatest line ever written 😂😂

“What do you mean you people”

He didn’t pull it off, and that’s the joke. The film is making fun of method actors, not black people. His speech about, “Never go full retard,” is him being a clueless hypocrite. It’s done ironically. Even the actual black person in the cast calls him out, multiple times.

Don’t disrespect the other Rob like that

C. Thomas Howell came close.

I just realized that he protested crossing the river because his black face make up would of rubbed off and that would of ended his character.

No because I genuinely have never laughed so hard at a movie before until this whole scene

I guess nobody ever looked up Jamie Kennedy, have you yeah he has his own little Kennedy’s court on prime video so he’s not the only one so I don’t know why they complain complaining I really don’t

Have you forgotten?

The only white man that did Black face and we loved it 😂

THE ONLY ONE that did it right

Robert Downey Jr. deserved an Oscar for this performance. It's fantastic.

Because this is not blackface as traditionally done. With blackface the butt of the joke is black people. In Tropic Thunder RDJ’s character the actor who is white doing this is the joke. And a black character calls him out.

Would a sequel be the most watched movie of the year, excluding major blockbusters?

@yafaveredhead01

Dan Akroyd in Trading Places,,, “ba buyaka buyaka buyaka ha!” Hilarious

they do it all the time

Robert Downey Jr played an Australian dude who dressed up as a black dude, and said it in his movie line! ... and it was fucking hilarious!

although Mac as Danny Glover was pretty good even if it looked nothing like him

And it was Oscar worthy no black person had a problem with this shit lol

The funny thing is RDJ was playing a guy who was playing another guy who was playing another guy

Cause the overall joke wasn’t black ppl, the joke was actors being stupid enough to think imitating another race is high art.

This entire film was a work of art

I never knew it was RDJ the first two times watching this masterpiece (I was extremely high). I genuinely thought it was some random black actor I didn't know until RDJ went to the Rogan podcast to talk about the experience of this movie. A fuckin black legend man.

I grew up thinking this is a black man until my brother told me that’s iron man 😅

@KJOURNEY820306 It was genius because we were in on the joke. That wasn't black face for the sake of ridiculing black folks. Among other layers, it was making fun of cultural appropriation and the absurdity of cultural arrogance in entertainment.

Nah that line alone was worth the whole thing….he knew who he was lol it wasn’t negative black face so much as it was intense method acting….dude was locked in as a black man from the 70’s

Someone told me they didn’t like Tropic Thunder. Their subsequent opinions became less valuable to me

Whoever did the wig For RDJ in this movie Need to do the wig for The Rock in Moana cause im sorry that mf looks horrible 🤦🏽‍♂️

C. Thomas Howell would like a word...no Soul Man meme's.

@vanahol1c I still wonder how they even made that movie cause everyone had to be rolling o. The floor laughing during every scene! 🤣🤣🤣

@JamieKennedy was judge joe brown lol 😂

I remember entering the theatre a bit late and wondering why this black guy looked so wierd. I learned like 5years later after rewatching from the top that the guy was white 😂
