The classic ’90s TV show may have given us the Wayans family, Jim Carrey, and Jamie Foxx — but it also gave us some awesome characters.
Lashawn
Played by: T'Keyah Crystal Keymáh
What made the character memorable: The original Bon Qui Qui, Lashawn usually held deeming customer service jobs, and took joy in giving attitude to the customers.
Memorable catchphrase: “Um, it’s time for my lunch hour.”
Grandpa Jack McGee
Played by: Jim Carrey
What made the character memorable: Jack McGee was the depressed, racist, and alcoholic host of “The Dysfunctional Home Show.” His life is miserable for a number of reasons, but mainly because he is forced to live with his promiscuous daughter and his drunken, hateful mother.
Memorable catchphrase: “Pork and beans... PORK AND BEANS!”
Mr. and Ms. Brooks
Played by: Kim Wayans and David Alan Grier
What made the characters memorable: They were a seemingly sweet elderly couple that traded insults, as they try to murder each other.
Memorable catchphrase: “And were still together!”
Anton Jackson
Played by: Damon Wayans
What made the character memorable: It was all about gross-out humor; Anton was a drunken homeless man, who constantly did disgusting things, most memorably carrying his urine around in a pickle jar.
