‘I don’t know what planet we’re on’

Marlon Wayans doesn’t get kids these days.

The 50-year-old comedian came to the defense of his 2004 cult classic “White Chicks” recently, vowing that he will never censor himself or his work.

“White Chicks” starred Marlon and his brother, Shawn Wayans, as FBI agents who go deep undercover as two stereotypically aughts-era, blonde-haired white women.

Frequent collaborators Marlon and Shawn, 51, wrote the script, while their older brother Keenen Ivory Wayans, 64, directed the feature.

In a new interview, Marlon insisted that the Wayans brothers’ brand of comedy serves an important purpose.

“I think they’re needed,” he told Buzzfeed of his manifold parody films. “I don’t know what planet we’re on, where you think people don’t need laughter, and that people need to be censored and canceled.”

“If a joke is gonna get me canceled, thank you for doing me that favor,” Marlon said. “It’s sad that society is in this place where we can’t laugh anymore. I ain’t listening to this damn generation. I ain’t listening to these folks.

“These scared-ass people, these scared executives. Y’all do what you want to do? Great. I’m still gonna tell my jokes the way I tell them. And if you want to make some money,  jump on board,” the “Scary Movie” creator continued.

“And if not, then I’ll find a way to do it myself,” he declared. “I know my audience. My audience comes to my shows every weekend and they leave feeling great and laughing. One thing about the Wayans, we’ve always told the worst joke the best way.”

In fact, the “Requiem for a Dream” star told Variety last year that he was even ready to produce a sequel to “White Chicks.”

“I think ‘White Chicks 2’ is necessary,” Marlon said at the time. “I think we’ve tightened up so much that we need to loosen our ties a bit and laugh a little bit.” 

“I don’t think Hollywood understands what a juggernaut ‘White Chicks 2’ would be,” he continued. “And the world just keeps giving us more. ‘White Chicks 2’ is writing itself.”

The Columbia Pictures film was made with a budget of $37 million and grossed more than $113 million at the box office.
