1. John Candy had the best Jamaican accent of them all.

2. That’s definitely a shitty thing to say, but this headline is hilarious. It’s got the timing of a stand-up joke.

3. Disney has always been a purveyor of racial stereotypes. Wake up.

4. Tried to watch this with my Caribbean wife: “that’s not a Jamaican accent, none of this sounds right”.

5. How bout I draw a line down your head and make it look like a butt?!

6. Feel de rhythm, feel de rhymeee

7. This was the 90s nobody gave a fuck about that back then. Dude is just saying this now to cover himself for when this becomes all of a sudden as offensive
