Series: 101 Ways to Know | Publication Date: October 27, 2009
The Wayans brothers became household names with the success of their Emmy winning show In Living Color in 1990. Combined, they have forty films and four television series under their belts, and a box office record with Scary Movie for highest grossing film ever by a black director.
The brothers are now bringing their successful brand of humor to a series of books. 101 WAYS TO KNOW YOU'RE HAVING A GHETTO CHRISTMAS is packed with hilarious jokes that will captivate the Wayans Brothers's legions of fans.
You know your Christmas isn't going your way if:
--You wrap your gifts in toilet paper, newspaper, or paper bags.
--You became a Jehovah’s Witness because you can't afford to buy gifts.
--You left Santa a joint and some Kool-Aid for a midnight snack.
--The North Pole is a strip club your mama worked at.
KEENEN IVORY WAYANS was the first Wayans brother to make his mark in the entertainment world. After years of stand-up, in 1987 Keenen produced and co-wrote Eddie Murphy's Raw and followed that up with Hollywood Shuffle. Next came I’m Gonna Get You, Sucka, the classic parody of blaxploitation movies. Keenen moved into television with In Living Color, which also featured SHAWN WAYANS and MARLON WAYANS. Shawn and Marlon created and starred in their own sitcom, The Wayans Bros, which ran for five years on the WB. Then the three brothers teamed up again, to produce the hit parody of “coming of age in the ‘hood” movies, Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood. Their Scary Movie and Scary Movie 2 and White Chicks have grossed over $500 million, and they’ve teamed up again for their next Wayans Brothers project, Dance Flick (MTV Films).Marlon Wayans also appears in the feature film G.I. Joe.
