Funny / Sorry to Bother You

• Cash needs gas for his car and asks for "Forty on two." He gives the clerk 40 cents, and she gives him a "Seriously?" look.
• Cash's initial telemarketing calls are depicted as him with his desk literally dropping in on his clients. Cringe Comedy is in full effect as he calls them during the worst possible times, such as a couple in the middle of making love, and trying to market his books to a woman whose husband is dying of cancer.
• The overall usage of David Cross and Patton Oswalt as the White voices of Cash and Mr. _______ with some of the crazy things they say.
• Squeeze's passionate speech at the protest, which devolves into a rant about having the right to contract whatever STD they want.
• Cassius and Salvador's argument, or rather, them passive-aggressively complimenting each other for a very long time.
• The extremely long elevator code to take Power Callers up to their floor. Multiple times it looks like Diana is done punching the code in — but then it continues even longer.
• When Mr. Anderson explains to Cash that the telemarketing position doesn’t need advanced qualifications, he illustrates by saying: "We’re not mapping the human genome here." Cash gives a face like: "They already mapped the human genome."
• "You do more side-stepping than the fucking Temptations!"
• After Detroit's performance, we cut to a mansion, where we see Lift in the dark doing a comically long line of coke. Then we cut to his back, where as it turns out, he was doing it right on a blacony;y bannister, in view of the whole party, who all begin cheering. A very apt way to set the tone of the rest of the scene.
• Lift assuming that just because Cassius is Black, he must know how to rap, despite Cassius repeatedly saying he can't rap, leading to a Gilligan Cut of Cassius trying to rap to a beat and failing.
  • Eventually he gives up and just starts shouting "Nigga shit, nigga shit, nigga-nigga-nigga shit!" and the (predominantly wealthy, White) audience respond in kind. This joke continues for some time. The film is definitely not subtle about the message it's conveying in the relationship of White capitalism to Black culture.
• Near the end of the movie, Cassius is speaking to the equisapiens. He talks very slowly and enunciates each word carefully, prompting the equisapien, DeMarcus, to say that he's from Oakland and to tell him to speak normally.
