10. The 5 Best Rom-Com Couples to Throuple With, Ranked

Sample entry: Eddie Murphy and Robin Givens (Boomerang)

Who wouldn’t want to bunk up with two ’90s sex symbols? As long as Marcus stays the hell away from our feet, we good with making things a little Strangé.

9. The 7 Best Pickup Lines to Use at the Republican National Convention, Ranked

Sample entry: “Do you like kids? You can racially profile my Brown one!”

Part of being conservative enough to speak at the Republican National Convention is accepting the bitter pill that your own Brown son is more likely to commit a crime than your White son. You love them both equally, but a potential RNC fling doesn’t need to know that.

8. 5 Game Night Games Most Likely to Cause a Fight, Ranked

Sample entry: Monopoly

Capitalism at its most ruthless (right down to the prison-industrial complex — stay woke). You’re gonna flip the fuck out when you land on someone’s four-house Marvin Gardens property for the fifth time, and probably flip over the entire board in poverty-stricken rage, sending fake money, dice, and game pieces everywhere. Hint: Do not play during a recession.

7. 8 Superheroes Who Are Actually Enormous Douchebags, Ranked

Sample entry: Batman

Only one of these heroes has a Twitter account dedicated to dunking on him, and that’s the douchiest caped crusader in all of comics — a billionaire cop with rigid sensibilities around street justice and a hankering for rumbles with traumatized adolescents and spandex-garbed sociopaths. If Batman caught you jaywalking in Gotham, he’d probably break your legs.

6. The 9 Pickup Basketball Players You’re Most Likely to Encounter, Ranked

Sample entry: The perspirer

An unappealing combination of shirtless, sweaty, and hairy, this hooper insists on regularly using his post-up game and making bodily contact with his opponent as often as possible. Win or lose, this guy is salty.

5. 5 Slang Terms White People Finally Read the Room and Stopped Using, Ranked

Sample entry: “Slap”

Here’s what slaps: Bay Area hip-hop. That’s it. Here are things that don’t actually slap, but we’ve seen described as slapping on Twitter: zucchini muffins. A biography of Emily Dickinson. Reiki. Mac Dre didn’t die for this.

4. All 11 ‘Madea’ Movies, Ranked

Sample entry: Madea’s Witness Protection (2012)

An all too familiar fish-out-of-water casting juxtaposes your favorite gun-toting matriarch with the dad from American Pie and some other White folks. There’s a Ponzi scheme, missing funds from a church building budget — wait a minute, is this the most realistic Madea movie?

3. The 8 Most Shameful Wigs in Film and TV History, Ranked

Sample entry: Michael Colter’s Unnatural Natural in Luke Cage

Luke’s prison-time flashbacks were hard to watch — not because of the systemic racism of the carceral state, but because of this Johnny Appleseed-lookin’ monstrosity. We have so many questions about the hair/beard combo: Did it come as a set? Is it as itchy as it looks? How many pubic hairs died during its creation?

2. The 5 Most Shameless White Savior Roles in Film, Ranked

Sample entry: Neo in The Matrix

A computer nerd pops a pill and enters an alternate reality in which he learns martial arts and how to stop bullets mid-flight, becoming the messiah who saves Laurence Fishburne and his people (of color) from annihilation. Sounds about White!

1. 7 Dishes White People Need to Stop Adding Raisins To, Ranked

Sample entry: Potato salad

You’re really gonna add dried grapes to the most pivotal dish at the cookout? T’Challa put it best: “Aw, hell naw, Karen. Keep your bland-ass potato salad to yourself!”
