Reception [ edit ]
Criticisms [ edit ]
Although Spike Lee praised Perry in 2006, the director later said of his work: "Each artist should be allowed to pursue their artistic endeavors, but I still think there is a lot of stuff out today that is 'coonery buffoonery.'" Lee said, "the imaging is troubling" when asked if Perry's popularity with black audiences was due to him simply catering to black Americans' preferences. "
Journalist Jamilah Lemieux thanked Perry for "giving black folks jobs in front of and behind the camera" in an open letter she published on National Public Radio, but she also criticized Perry's shows Meet the Browns and House of Payne. It was stated in her letter that "both your shows are marked by old stereotypes of buffoonish, emasculated black men and crass, sassy black women." After praising his humor and "positive messages of self-worth, love, and respect" in his work, she vented her anger that African-Americans "have been fed the same images of ourselves over and over again because they sell." With his famous Madea character, Lemieux claimed, "Through her, the country has laughed at one of the most important members of the black community: Mother Dear, the beloved matriarch of the black family. Our moms and grandma's are worthy of so much more. Lemieux thanked Perry for ignoring the negative feedback, but she said that "many black folks have expressed some of the very same attitudes about your work that white critics have." He was told to "stop dismissing the critics as haters and realize that black people need new stories and new storytellers" "[67]
Perry announced in an Instagram video posted on January 6, 2020, that he writes all of his films and TV shows without the help of a writers room. Several media outlets and entertainment industry figures criticized Perry for allegedly blocking the careers of promising black writers. Perry replied later that month in an interview, saying that he had problems with both WGA and nonunion writers. His claim is that WGA writers would hand in "scripts that would need rewrites in order to get paid multiple times." He continued, saying that nonunion writers had a hard time meeting his standards and that he was "unhappy with every single script they wrote" because "they were not speaking to the voice of the audience." "[69]
Response [ edit ]
In an interview with 60 Minutes in October 2009, Spike Lee was quoted criticizing Perry's work, and Perry said, "I would love to read that [criticism] to my fan base." The thought of that makes me angry. To say the least, it's demeaning. Such beliefs permeate the entertainment industry, leading to a dearth of content aimed at people like us and them. Perry added, "All these characters are bait; enticing, humorous bait that will draw you in and make you laugh. Madea is the perfect vehicle for me to discuss theology, spirituality, and family values. In an interview with Hip Hollywood, Perry said of Spike Lee, "Go to hell," [70] in response to Lee's criticism. "[71]
Acclaim [ edit ]
Oprah Winfrey is a fan of Perry's and the two worked together to promote Lee Daniels' film Precious (2009). "I think [Perry] grew up being raised by strong, black women," she said in an interview. What he does is largely a celebration of that fact. That's what I see Madea as: a collection of the amazing black women I've met (and maybe you have, too). It's effective because viewers can recognize themselves in the characters. "[72]
During an interview on April 21, 2011's NPR All Things Considered, Goldie Taylor of The Grio and MSNBC said, "I don't think Tyler Perry is talking to Touré." I don't think he's talking to me, but I do know he's speaking directly to my mom, my sister, and my cousins and meeting them at their point of need, and that's what art and filmmaking is about. "[73]
Shayne Lee, a sociologist, writes that Tyler Perry is right up there with the most forward-thinking directors working today in his Huffington Post opinion piece. [74]
Satire and other parodies [ edit ]
To show his affection for Akiko (who was also competing), Steve Smith of American Dad!'s "Spelling Bee My Baby" misspelled words on purpose. He spelled titles of Tyler Perry and Madea movies. [75]
In Episode 15 of Season 15 of South Park, titled "Funnybot," Perry was the target of satire. Both Tolkien Black and President Obama, two black characters in the episode, express their own disbelief that they can't stop watching his comedy and giving him money, despite the fact that he was awarded "Person most likely to actually show up to receive their Kathy Griffin Award." As Madea, Perry is encased in steel and buried at the episode's conclusion, with Obama saying, "I am pleased to announce that the greatest threat to mankind has now gone forever." Law and order have been restored. "[76]
In the episode "Pause" of The Boondocks, Perry impersonator Winston Jerome played a character named "Ma Dukes" who was a spoof of Madea. The "Ma Duke" character in the parody was the leader of a gay sect. [77]
In the episode "A Brown Thanksgiving" of The Cleveland Show, Auntie Momma is revealed to be Donna Tubbs's Uncle Kevin, a reference to Tyler Perry's "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" [a href="MY_REDIRECT_PREFIXhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" target="_blank"]. Another time, Donna gets a bottle of wine with a pun on Tyler Perry's film titles: "Tyler Perry Presents Wine."
