[quote="Yancakes"]However: the last line in the movie ("Thank God for evolution") was absolutely atrociously delivered and made NO SENSE AT ALL- there was NOTHING in the movie that had ANYTHING to do with evolution. quote]
Depending on your point of view, that can be extremeley ironic...

On the drag note, it really depends on the role. In Bugs Bunny, its funny. Monty Python? Funny. Travolta.... that's just wrong.

Don't take this as me calling you a racist, nor do I think you are prejudiced and I believe you are more than likely a great person. But dude. Seriously?

All of Monty Python
John Travolta
Sean Penn
Tom Hanks
Dustin Hoffman
Robin Williams
Adam Sandler
Chris Farley
Dana Carvey
Who ever played Mango
^basically every guy on snl has cross dressed
Jack Lemmon
Tony Curtis
Joey from Friends (Matt LeBlanc)
Jude Law
Clint Eastwood (I made that one up for effect)
...and I could go on and on.

More white comedians have been cross dressing for laughs than black comedians. Then again, there are a shit ton of Wayans brothers out there.
Yep, I got caught up in the Tyler Perry talk. Almost none of those are funny examples either. I think I just don't think the cross dressing element is funny to me. Also Travolta as a woman *shudder*.

Woah woah... you did see Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in there right? Have you SEEN Some Like it Hot?

It's hilarious, and Marylin is GOD DAMNED GORGEOUS in that one. Especially the train scene when it blows out steam.... I think I need a few minutes alone.

Some Like It Hot is excellent. It's also miles ahead of anything else on Luke's list.

Jack Lemmon is on my list.

Wait, I have a list of movies I'm unaware of?

Kids in the Hall is a show I thought of, and should have included. Even in News Radio we had alumni in drag. And again, hugs to Stark, but cross dressing for comedy is sooooo not a "black thing".

This leads to ponder, what VG characters cross dressed?

The actors on that list generally only crossdressed in a single, usually misguided, role.
