Top 15 Moments from "Friday" That Still Make Us Laugh 30 Years Later

The ultimate utterance of dismissal. I mean you hear this iconic phrase in every day life, music and even other musics following this joint’s debut. You say this to somebody, you truly do not want to be bothered.

Chile, even Beyoncé quoted this line in one of her songs. Joi, every Black girl’s favorite ghetto movie vixen, gave Craig a run for his money tryna pry him for the tea - loud enough for everybody in the house to hear through the phone too!

Man, Pastor Clever almost killed Smokey’s whole vibe while he was tryna roll up in peace. “Well, round here, between Normandy and Western, we call this here a little twenty-twen-twen niggaaaaaaaaaa,” Smokey bellowed in his finest Baptist preacher man voice.

Goodness gracious, there’s never been a more visceral reaction to a black eye than when Red took his sunglasses off. He had no business clownin’ anybody else!

The most valid question ever asked in Black history. Craig done went to pick up his check and found out later that would be his last one. SMH.

Smokey tried to puff his chest out claiming to have mind control over Deebo while simultaneously admitting to being a straight punk.

“I got mind control over Deebo. He be like ‘Shut the f*ck up.’ ... I be quiet. But when he leave, I be talking again,” Smokey said. Applause, everybody, for the bravery.

People like Craig don’t need any stoner friends if they don’t know how to act when they’re high. But let’s also credit Smokey for his persuasion tactics to get Craig to hit the joint. “Mary Jane” by Rick James playing in the background was the perfect pairing to this scene.

You’d be lying if you said you weren’t sitting on the edge of your seat during this final battle of the movie. At some point, I really thought Craig should’ve considered pulling that trigger. But if he taught us one thing - when in doubt, grab a brick!

To end the historic fight, Smokey just had to put his two cents in to rub it in Deebo’s face. Nothing can trigger a chuckle easier than Tucker’s delivery of this line.

Everyone knows someone like Ezal. The way this man milked his fall at the corner store is peak entertainment.

“My neck, my back.... my neck and my back,” he barked. My guy, are you singing Khia?!

Nobody checked out Debbie as hard as these two. Black women know what’s it like to walk (or speed walk) past two knuckleheads gawking in admiration.

“Older the berry, sweeter the juice,” Smokey said, referencing Debbie’s mother.

“Nigga, it’s the blacker the berry, sweeter the juice,” Craig responded.

“Yeah, she blacker than a motherf-cker, too,” Smokey said.

If you grew up greedy, I know your parents quoted this scene over and over and over. Forreal though, no one knows Mr. Jones’ pain until somebody eat their leftovers.

“Don’t nobody go in the bathroom for bout 35-45 minutes. Somebody open a window,” Mr. Jones said interrupting a whole conversation.

Every family knows the man of the house needs the longest time in the bathroom.

“No sugar? Damn. Y’all ain’t never got two things that match. Either y’all got Kool-aid, no sugar. Peanut butter, no jelly. Ham, no burger. Damn!” Smokey complained.

I’d complain too, to be honest.

“It’s Friday, you ain’t got no job, and you ain’t got sh** to do!” Smokey said, convincing Craig to hit the joint. As if he needed a reminder that he lost his job, Smokey did have a point... ain’t nothin’ else to do on a Friday.
