ReportSynopsis
In Living Color is an American sketch comedy television series that originally ran on the Fox Network from April 15, 1990, to May 19, 1994. Brothers Keenen and Damon Wayans created, wrote and starred in the program. The show was produced by Ivory Way Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television and was taped before a live studio audience at stage 7 at the Fox Television Center on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, California. The title of the series was inspired by the NBC announcement of broadcasts being presented "in living color" during the 1950s and 1960s, prior to mainstream color television. It also refers to the fact that most of the show's cast were black, unlike other sketch comedy shows such as Saturday Night Live whose casts are usually mostly white.
Other members of the Wayans family—Kim, Shawn and Marlon—had regular roles, while brother Dwayne frequently appeared as an extra. The show also starred the previously unknown actor/comedians Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx, and David Alan Grier. Additionally, actress Rosie Perez, Dancing with the Stars judge and choreographer Carrie Ann Inaba and dancer Jennifer Lopez were members of the show's dance troupe The Fly Girls. The series won the Emmy for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series in 1990.

s1 ep7: 16 minutes in, not on screen just audio
s2 ep10: I forgot the time but its jim carrey's character toward the end after anton starts doing pretty gross stuff, again not on screen, he pretty much recreates that scene from dumb and dumber when lloyd alm v*
s3 ep22: jim carrey's guy again, audio at 7 minutes in literally just violent coughing ngl
s4 ep 13: just an honorable mention, around 9 minutes during the dysfunctional family sketch grandpa jack v*'s but holds it back
s5 ep14: at 13 minutes with the lady in the airplane, she acts sick the whole time so you have enough build up to skip, its just audio though and sounds fake
s5 ep18: at 4/5 minutes "oprah" v* into a trashcan, just audio but they also added some sound effects that might not make it sound as fake

there's many characters that are disabled and said multiple times how they are, cause that's the joke, and presumably none of the cast playing the characters are actually disabled
