YMMV / For Colored Girls

  • Memetic Mutation: For a while on Twitter, the clip of Janet Jackson's character confronting her husband about fucking other men went viral just from the absurd way that it is phrased. "Oh? Oh, so you doing the bending?" is the line in particular that sent everyone into (unintentional) hysterics, as it's just an odd way to confront a cheating man on the down-low, demanding to know if he's the pitcher or the catcher when he has sex with other men.
  • Retroactive Recognition: Tessa Thompson plays Nyla Adrose, a woman seeking abortion.
  • The Woobie: You have no idea. All of these women lead depressing and tragic lives and without any sign of it ever getting better. Between facing betrayal, loneliness, physical and sexual abuse, disease, broken dreams, depression and death, you have to wonder how they even manage to get out of bed in the morning.
