I'm more focused on their basically useless and juvenile roles to poorly fill the role of comedic relief. Whatever happened to the days of a witty actor like Harrison Ford being able to be comic relief in a film? Somehow wit was replaced with immaturity.

Black people everwhere should be offended at this 'discussion' point Ms. Cohen has addressed here...
Her first thoughts when an orange robot and a green robot speak street and have a gold tooth or two is of black people? Good work Sandy.
Urban culture grows out of economic status and place, not race and ethnicity.
All the same, I appreciate your efforts to draw in page views with race baiting.
I can't stand this high-school level inference into hidden meanings that were never intended to exist.

Jeeeez, if this isn’t a pious and pretentious comeback…Look, I’m black and every once and a while I can watch some ignorant stuff (Hell I watch VH-1 Reality shows from time to time so I’m part of the problem I guess…), but you are taking a leap of obtuse faith if you don’t think some black people aren’t gonna find 2 ghetto-centric gold toothed, jive-talking bots somewhat offensive… I’m sure some are gonna laff (Hell the black community is just as liberal vs. conservative as any other race), but don’t go off the deep-end when you find some that do object…Hell watch Bay’s movies, he always has borderline stuff like this in his movies (Most times written by white writers which skew the stereotype even further)…Once is defendable or a coincidence, 10 times is a trend…
