!!Provides examples of:
* AbhorrentAdmirer: During sex with his girlfriend, Ashtray meets her aged, overweight mom, who tells her daughter to "hold him down and let Mama have him!"
** Later, Loc Dog and a pretty girl named LaQuanda flirt for a little while. But she has horrible breath, bad gas, and zero social skills (at one point, she picks her nose, then massages his leg with the same hand). Loc Dog rejcts her and runs off, leaving LaQuanda [[InnocentlyInsensitive rather confused]].
*** [[RuleofThree And THEN]], Loc meets a seemingly nice girl named Keisha. She warns him that when she gets drunk, she gets crazy. In this case, 'crazy' means she turns into an evil, sex-hungry succubus.

* ComingOfAgeStory: Parodied

* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: Toothpick, the villain, proudly admits he raped a man in jail, but he honestly doesn't [[{{Squick}} expect everyone to react the way they do]], so he plays it off as a joke.

--> Dashiki: ...What are you doing?!
--> Ashtray: Trying to win Best Actor at the Soul Train Awards.

--> Preach: I'm just trying to do to white women what the white MAN has been doing to us for 400 years!
--> Crazy Legs: Yeah? What's that?
--> Preach: Fuck 'em!

''DontBeAMenaceToSouthCentralWhileDrinkingYourJuiceInTheHood'', or ''DontBeAMenace'' for short, is a 1996 WayansBrothers parody of "growing up in the hood" movies, particularly, as the name suggests, ''MenaceIISociety'', ''SouthCentral'', ''{{Juice}}'', and ''BoyzNTheHood''. Taking every trope those movies were known for and [[PlayingWithATrope turning them]] upside down, this movie is considered one of the funniest movies the Wayans ever made.

** Keenan Ivory Wayans plays a mailman who yells "MESSAGE!" whenever a character makes a [[Anvilicious profound statement]].

Ashtray (ShawnWayans) is left by his mother to live with his estranged father in the hood, with the weak explanation that he needs to learn how to be a man. While hanging out with his cousin and their friends, he quickly gets caught up in violence and crime.

* AffectionateParody: To the movies mentioned in its title.

* AngryBlackMan: According to Ashtray, Preach WAS this, but "now he's just kind of confused."

* GeniusDitz: Loc Dog is dumb enough to endanger himself on a daily basis, but when it comes to guns, or baking cakes, he has no peer.

* NoFourthWall / MediumAwareness: The characters acknowledge that they're in a hood movie. Ashtray even has an over the top [[HeroicBSOD breakdown]] in Dashiki's house, causing her to ask:

* RealMenWearPink: Loc Dog is not afraid to wear bunny slippers in public, and if you say a word about them, he'll blow your damn head off.

** The crackhead from MenaceIISociety appears

** Later played with. At a party, Loc Dog hits on a pretty girl named LaQuanda, and she reciprocates. But after she shows her lack of hygiene (she's flatulent and has bad breath) and social skill ([[{{squick}} she picks her nose and wipes her finger on his shirt]]) he rejects her advances and runs panicking.

* AnyoneCanDie / SwitchingPOV: The first two narrators are gunned down after the opening credits. Ashtray steps in to finish the story.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: A frustrated Ashtray runs into Dashiki's house, crying and swinging at the air:
--> Dashiki:...What are you doing?!
--> Ashtray: Trying to win Best Actor at the Soul Train Awards.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadAss: Loc Dog. Five words: "Do. We. Have. A. ''PROBLEM?!?!?''"

* MythologyGag: A lot of the actors are played by actors from the parodied movies, including two actors from Menace2Society who basically reprise their roles.

** "MESSAGE!"

* {{Anvilicious}}: Parodied and Lampshaded.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Many. But most agree on "Take me to jail!"

* {{Hilarious in Hindsight}}: In the film, the characters play an urbanized version of Monopoly (I.E. building crack houses instead of hotels) in real life, in 2003 a "black" version of Monopoly called Ghettopoly was actually created and it looked pretty similar to the board game seen in this film.

* {{Badass Grandma}}: Loc Dog's grandmother single handedly foils the drive-by at the movie's climax.

* NeverMessWithGranny: Loc Dog's Granny has her moments, but [[spoiler:pulling a [[BigDamnHeroes Big Damn Hero]] moment on Toothpick and his crew, plus a senseless decapitation of a random bystander simply because he praises her crazy antic?]] I know I don't want to cross her.

* AngryBlackMan: Preach

-->You ain't so tough now, little nigga. I hate your black bastards, you stink! I hate your black skin. I hate your black pants. I hate black pepper. I hate black keys on a piano. I hate my gums, because they're black. I hate Whoopi Goldberg's lips. I hate the back of Forrest Whittaker's neck. Huh? Most of all, I hate that black-ass Wesley Snipes.

* ClusterFBomb: The Granny is just FULL of them.

* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: Changed somewhat. Toothpick blurts it out, but he honestly doesn't [[{{Squick}} expect everyone to react the way they do]].

* GunNut

* MoreDakka:do..we..have..a..problem

* {{Friday}}

** Every time someone looks out on the street, someone is stealing something. This starts with an Ice Cream truck (a reference to {{Friday}}) and gets increasingly ridiculous from there.
