A few days ago, my sister sent me THIS with the subject line, “No Commentary Necessary.”
I watched it, and after I picked myself up off the floor from laughing, the following email conversation ensued…
LiLu: The whole time, I kept waiting for the punchline… and then it was SERIOUS.Lil Sis: Oh, so serious. My favorite part is that they’re all so white. Especially the black guy.
LiLu: HAHAHAHAHA. The whiteness is blinding.
Lil Sis: Also, it’s just Taboo! They can’t be on and poppin’ in copyright law.
LiLu: Booayh!
Then, realizing my typo…
LiLu: Booyah, even. That was a letdown.
Lil Sis: Hahahaha that’s okay. For a moment I thought booayh was another awesome hip-hop term I had missed.
LiLu: I’m sure it is. Better check Urban Dictionary: Helping white people seem cool since, like, last week.
Lil Sis: Also the hand clappers! They must have just had like a million extra hand clappers lying around and were like, whatever just toss some of these in there, they cost like -2 cents.
LiLu: -2 cents because the kids in sweatshops pay to work?
Lil Sis: -2 cents because I’m sure there is an epidemic of overproduction of hand clappers.
Happy Friday, y’all. For sheezy.
P.S. Oh, um, something sort of amazing transpired yesterday… let’s just say that B and I have both undergone transformations, of sorts. Pictures to prove it on Monday…)

(God, we had a billion of those hand-clappers during National Day one year.)
Thanks for forcing the lowdown on this game on me. Heard of it before, but was always too lazy to check it out. Looks like one slammin game, fo shizzle!
Shhh…
If you listen closely, you can hear the ghost of Martin Luther King, Jr. crying.
that game is off the heezy! gimme some dap!
Thank GOD! Now I can go clubbing!
Am I the only one that actually wants that game.
oh and even better: the first one.
this mysterious "transformation" has gotten me curious. have a good weekend lilu!
That game looks mad hard, yo! How are you supposed to describe "on and poppin" without saying "off the chain"? It's impossible.
Best video ever. After the Greatest Freakout Ever.
OMG Did you guys get IMPLANTS????
Totally waiting for pix
!!!

i'm always down for a board game.
*in the voice of Keanu R.*
Whoa, that's for real?
Hmmm….fab transformations??
That could be anything!
hahaha! oh my god! seriously!? sooo whiiiite!
Slanguage dot com. Oh, for the LOVE OF G*D! The hand clappers seriously had me thinking it was a joke…for REAL it's for real?!
Finally, a product that might just help me recover from my terminal whiteness.
Waiting for Transformation Monday…
In the real Taboo game there a buzzer for the wrong words… looks to me like they were skimping on this game. Although, learning all the hip hop terms might just be enough for me to buy it anyway.
That HAS to be a joke! Please?
I own this game and play it 24/7.
NOT
However, this would be really fun to make into a drinking game.
I'm only buying it if one of the cards has "taco salad".
There is nothing urban about the word lingo.
Oh this is so awesome!
That is hilarious! They'll try to sell anything it seems. And for the record, my husband and I have been calling each other "boo" since about 1985 which is a good 15 years before we suddenly started hearing everyone else on using that expression. As far as we know, we invented it. Those urbanite hiphoppers stole our personal lingo, man, and that's just not cool!
Anyway, have a great weekend – can't wait to see the transformation.
That one woman's glee made me ashamed to be white.
Those of us who are at work today are SO glad you posted today!
If someone flapped that hand clapper at me, I would be forced to jam it up their nose. Fo sho. <-irony!
I protest. There is no Asian person in the commercial. How am I gonna get my freak on if I'm not represented? Ya down with that?
Yes, I may be Asian, but my vocabulary is tragically white.
Wow. Just wow.
I must admit, sometimes I use Urban Dictionary to figure out WTF my clients (homeless youth) are saying. Sometimes I flat out ask them – Me: "They teefed it… as in… bit it?"
Now, if y'all went off and got engaged and you're just going to be all casual about it, I will be pissed, LOL.
I have to go open IE so I can see the video, after reading all the commentary, as Firefox hates me.
Well, I watched the video.
OMG.
That is all.
I would like 500 of the hand clappers please. The white girl waving it around convinced me that I'll be way more cool if I have them. I need an endless supply.
Haha. That face the black guy was making? It looked a lot like mine when I'm told we're playing Apples to Apples… or pretty much any board game that's not Monopoly.
*scribbles 'booayh' down at bottom my 'words that will get me in with the cool kids' list*
That game apparently also makes you gay. BOOYAH!!
I saw B's mohawk ! Cute
Although I'm sure he would like to hear things more like "It's badass" .. so there B "You're badass with your mohawk!" .. lol
Can't wait to see your hair
Can they please make a game for ethnic people with stuff white people like? You try to describe ikea without saying "crazy white folks," "furniture" or "sweet ass shopping carts."
Happy weekending! Hope someone fetched you that coffee.
oh wowza…i cant believe that is for real!!!
hahaha.
reminds me of stuff white people like.
for shizzle.
"For the low, low price of $24.95, learn hip-hop phrases that are guaranteed to embarrass your kids AND get punched by a black dude!"
Oh My Word! hahahah ..haha..ha..ha *ahem*
I feel embarrassed for them…can you imagine being an 'actress' and that's the job you get? You have to act like you're having a hilariously good time while waving a hand clapper? Oh wow.
Ohhh is it your hair. Yes, yes I believe it is, I can't wait to see it. Fucking unbeweavable. And I'm soooo excited for my email. OMG. OMG. Watch out, ok cupid.
Have a fun weekend lover.
holy crap that was awesome! I had to share it on my facebook, for god sake…
That black girl's look at the end is priceless…she looks at the camera like look at this crazy white bitch.
OH. WOW.
I cannot believe games like that exist.
Thanks for letting me know so I can be further disillusioned about how "cool" society is becoming.
And also thanks for the laugh.
Don't lie, you got matching tattoos of each other's faces, didn't you? Didn't you?!?!
I kept waiting for the, "But wait- there's more!" announcement at the end of the commercial. Now I feel kind of cheated. Hmmm…what could they have thrown in to sweeten the deal? A 2nd game? A copy of the Urban Dictionary? An Ebonics primer?
Seriously who decided to add the hand clappers???!!!
This is going to take the world by storm….or not!
So you and B…hmmm…haircuts..dye jobs…fake tans? Someone already guessed implants….
love you and your sister. Can't wait to hear what you and B have done.
There will pics right??
I would rather drink anti freeze slushes than play any board game.
cant wait to see pics on Monday!
Wait. What. This is actually real?
That is both pathetic and hilarious.
As a representative of the As Seen on TV industry, I greatly apologize. I do promise that this is not from my company though, I clearly would have highly suggested against releasing this commercial, it is bad bad bad.
You have to wonder about a bunch of people sitting around a table listening to the pitch for this game and saying, "I think that's a great idea!" (or the hip-hop equivalent because you know I'm NOT cool like that)
Anyway, this transformation thingy has me verrrrry curious.
Yeah, it is a sad day in my world when I went to college to get away from Urban Dialogue…(L.A. hood) and now the damn Urban Dictionary makes more money than I do.
Wat up wit dat?
has no commentary…
All I can say is my new favorite word…..Ridamndiculous!
I wonder if they have that in the Slanguage game.
lmfao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
