* AngryBlackMan: Preach is a parody of this. He makes powerful speeches about the tyranny of whites, but is unashamed of his fetish for white women or casual racism towards Asians.

''Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood'' (or ''Don't Be A Menace'' for short) is a 1996 [[Series/TheWayansBros Wayans Brothers]] parody of [[HoodFilm "growing up in the hood" movies]], particularly, as the name suggests, ''Film/MenaceIISociety'', ''Film/SouthCentral'', ''Film/{{Juice}}'', and ''Film/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.

Ashtray (Shawn Wayans) is left by his mother to live with his estranged father in the hood, with [[ComingOfAgeStory the intentionally weak explanation that he needs to learn how to be a man.]] While hanging out with his crazy cousin Loc Dog and their friends, he quickly gets caught up in violence and crime. He also falls in love with Dashiki, a promiscuous woman with 7 kids, which draws the attention of her AmbiguouslyGay ex-con boyfriend, Toothpick.

* LongTitle: Long enough that Wiki/ThisVeryWiki's search function can't list the whole name in the results.

* ComingOfAgeStory: Parodied.

* {{Flanderization}}: As part of the above.

%% * ActorAllusion: "She's got more kids than Miss Wayans!" %% Who says this, who plays them, and what is this a reference to? %%

* AsianStoreOwner: The owners of the gas station.

* HistoricalInJoke: The Man's list includes Creator/MikeTyson, Music/MichaelJackson, Creator/OJSimpson, and Music/TupacShakur, all of them black people whose troubles with the law are thought to be TheMan really putting them down for being black.

* TheMan: Portrayed as an ACTUAL white guy running around keeping the black man down, similar to Film/UndercoverBrother, to the point where he uses a sniper rifle to kill one of Ashtrays and Loc's friends to keep him from going to college.

* ThreatBackfire: In one scene, a car full of gangsters threaten to shoot Loc Dog and Trey with guns and (when Dog shows he's got multiple pieces stored in his pants) an RPG-7 rocket launcher. Dog's response? Open the back of his truck, showing he's got a '''Soviet nuclear warhead''' stored in there, which he wins at the gangsters. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere The gangsters immediately skedaddle]].
-->'''Loc Dog''': [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Do WE... HAVE... a PROBLEM?!]] Now unless your wanna feel a nuclear Holocaust, get the hell outta here!

* ''South Central''

* ''Film/SouthCentral''

** A similar example happens later with a girl (played by Creator/PaulaJaiParker) at Ashtray's going away party. The scene also cuts away and when it cuts back, we see that not only is she now very heavily intoxicated, but there are also several empty liquor bottles behind her that were not there before.

** "Ashtray" is one of ''Film/BoyzNTheHood'''s Tre, ''Film/MenaceIISociety'''s Caine, and ''Film/{{Friday}}'s'' Craig.
** Loc Dog is ''Film/BoyzNTheHood'''s Doughboy, ''South Central'''s Loco, and ''Film/MenaceIISociety'''s O-Dog.

* CaptainErsatz: Many, since it's a parody. In particular Film/BoyzNTheHood's Tre becomes "Ashtray," ''Film/MenaceIISociety'''s O-Dog becomes Loc Dog, etc.

* MythologyGag: A lot of the characters are played by actors from the parodied movies, including two actors from ''Film/MenaceIISociety'' who basically reprise their roles.

* AngryBlackMan: Preach is a parody of this. He makes powerful speeches about the tyranny of whites, but is unashamed of his fetish for white women.
