Hi. I'm Keenan Ivory Wayans,
and welcome to the show.

You know, I've been trying to think of
different ways to open the show.

And tonight,
I said to myself, okay.

Now, what could I possibly do
to get it started large?

I couldn't think of anything better
than my main man...

[Announcer] Shahara Zah Ali.
You've seen her on Donahue.

And it's every black man's right to slap
a black woman in the mouth.

Mm-hmm.

You've seen her on
SallyJessy Raphael.

A black woman should not complain
about sharin' her black man.

Don't deny it.
You're denyin' it! See...

And, you've seen her on
Farm Report.

Furthermore, if a black hog
wants to keep his sty together...

he should slap his black sow in the mouth
when she needs it... don't deny it!

She's Shahara Zah Ali, the author of...

You've read her book.
Now, get her new, how-to video.

This easy to follow,
step-by-step guide...

will make you, once again,
the king of your domain.

Find out if you have what it
takes with this simple quiz...

from part one ofher video,
"Lines of Communication."

- Hey, babe.
- Hi, baby!

- Is it : already?
- You know it.

Oh, you know LittleJake went and blew up
his Ninja Turtle in the microwave today.

And then Aquanetta twisted and broke
her ankle tryin' to do that Vogue dance...

- so, I mean, I had to rush her to the hospital.
- So I got no dinner?

Mm-hmm. Now what
would you do in this situation:

A., take her out to a nice restaurant...

B., have dinner at your girlfriend's...

or C., give her an open-handed slap
in the mouth?

The answer, of course, is "C."

A good slap in the mouth will
train your black woman...

not to put her trivial
concerns over your needs.

Situation number two. Your wife
finds out you're havin'an affair.

With my own sister?

Look, l...

What do you give your wife:
A., a dozen long-stem roses...

B., the necklace you were going
to give your girlfriend...

or C., an open-handed slap
in the mouth?

Now, if you said "C", you're well
on your way to becoming king.

Now here's a tough one.
Your wife does somethin'nice.

I say it's tough, 'cause a black woman ain't
gonna never do nothin'nice for a black man.

She's sneaky, and if she does
something nice, it's a trick... watch her.

Hey, baby! I got you
two tickets to the Lakers game.

Lemme see those...

Do you, A., thank her and ask
her if she'd like to join you...

B., thank her and take
your girlfriend...

or C., give her an open-handed slap
in the mouth?

The answer is "B" and "C."

Before you take your girlfriend,
remember this:

An unexpected slap never hurts.

Now, if you answered any
of these questions correctly...

you're ready to move on
to Part Two:

"Puttin' the Man
Back in Manhandling."

Featurin' actual demonstrations
by real experts...

such as Mike Tyson
and Ike Turner.

If she hesitates...

you know what to do.

- Hey, I was watchin' that.

- Oh, I'm sorry.
- Yeah? Well, you're gonna be.

Shahara Zah that!

So is this place okay for you, or...

Yeah, no. It's fine.
I think it looks fine.

I figured you'd like it, you know.

How is it prepared?

Only but one way
to prepare 'em.

First, you cut 'em out the pig,
then you squeeze out the dookey...

then you turn 'em inside out and let 'em
set in bleach for about two days.

And just as the funk start risin' off
the top, that's when you boil 'em.

[Groaning] Oh, yeah.
Well, uh, I think I'll have some soup.
