#freethenipple is another in a long line of cultural appropriation
Creepy but good/interesting take on episode
He did a thread on it
Mind blown if true
I'm saying though, dude could still be Teddy.He never said teddy was the abusive dad did he? Benny is teddy. The guy in the wheelchair is supposedly the abusive dad.
“Teddy Perkins” earned universal acclaim from critics (read IndieWire’s A review), and Glover’s whiteface left fans baffled and freaked out. It turns out the “Atlanta” creator’s appearance did the same for the actors on set of the Hiro Murai-directed episode. Vulture spoke with Derrick Haywood, the actor who played Teddy’s brother Benny Hope, and he said he didn’t even recognize Glover at first during filming.
“Initially, I had no idea that Teddy Perkins was actually played by Donald Glover,” Haywood said, noting that Glover stayed in character with his makeup and high-pitched voice throughout the entirety of filming. The director called ‘Teddy’ over [on set] and said, ‘Let’s see what Teddy thinks.’ I’m like, ‘Okay, who is this Teddy guy and why is his opinion so important?’”
Haywood’s mind was blown when it was revealed Teddy was actually Glover in whiteface. The actor said Glover was so in character during filming that no one on set felt like the real Glover was working on the episode.
“When I say this guy was in character the whole time, it was just amazing the commitment he brought,” Haywood said. “We were calling him Teddy, he acted as Teddy – there was no Donald on set whatsoever.”
donald looking like a young john travolta
As soon as old dude started sharing pics talking about his brother I immediately assumed it was a play on MJ.
I was hoping for a Darius episode but this wasn't it... I need some of the "in tune with the universe and unknown frequencies" Darius, not this bull****.
No hyperbole. That might have been one of the greatest episodes to a TV series ever.
I'm going to be perpetually heated if this show ever gets cancelled.
Donald in White face...
Two episodes after he was mistakenly thought to be blackface...
I love it
As I was watching this, I honestly thought about how extraordinary the writing and the shooting (cuts, scenes, and angles) were in this episode. Even the score and the music used in the episode was top notch.
The writing was just phenomenal. As some have mentioned, the struggle between the appreciation of the "golden era" of "Black music" to the current state was the main plot. That was evident to me immediately when Teddy asked Darius about him playing Stevie and Darius says he likes Stevie but mostly like to listen to him on long car rides because the songs are long. This signaled to Teddy that Darius (new generation) truly don't appreciate the instrumentation of music. This was further evidenced by Darius telling him that he doesn't play the piano and he only wanted it because it was "cool". I knew then we were going to see the "history" lesson or the competition of what should be championed as black music. I think Teddy was disappointed in how "easy" it is to make music now and thus was angered with Darius when he said there wasn't a great sacrifice, Stevie sacrificed for greatness. I think it all comes back to the music industry today and how Paperboi basically lucked up into a music career with no real passion, urgency or hard-work. All the while, back in Teddy's day, you had to make a great sacrifice in order to share your art. His/Benny sacrifice was their whole childhood. Thus, Robbin' Season - Benny/Teddy lost childhood.
I agree but the barbershop episode wasn’t a let down by any stretch
Fun fact - Theodore Perkins was a fake name that MJ would sometimes use to move about in public
The actor who played the bartender in Season 1 episode 3 (he told Earn “Wow! You Broke as **** my *****!”) is the same actor who played Benny Perkins
