Video: Antoine Dodson's Oscar Performance in Threatening Man Who Tried to Rape Sister

• Who wouldn't be overstimulated and a little crazy after fighting off a man who tried to rape their sister? His grammar is poor, his neck-jerking and hip-popping are not mainstream, but good for him. He is more of a man than these pieces of crap out their crushing their own babies' skulls and raping little children. Give me a 1000 Antoine's on TV if that keeps me from ever having to hear another story about a sexual predator, serial killer or wife and child abuser. Unfortunately that won't be the case.

• I love this shit i can just sit a home and laugh all day long

• @car, you, and people like you, are what hold this state back. you live in huntsville & are embarrassed by antoine? i also live in huntsville, & i too, am embarrassed, but not by people 'like antoine', but because of people 'like you'. you are the reason our state voted bush in office two consecutive terms. perhaps artists, and people of culture, would actually want to visit, or even live here, if this area wasn't infested with close minded ignorant racists. i bet you go to church every sunday, but sammy t's & the strip bar right before. freakin hillbilly. i can imagine a little britney spears wannabe sitting behind her computer, typing & thinking, 'it's not like that here y'all, really it's not, we are so refined!' gag. i wish we had more antoines here & people were more accepting & less judgmental. i wish people like you would stop breeding.

• Good take, Ana. Thanks.

• @Shannie I didn't really-but there was no name on the comment and at that time I was the last one to post.

• No D-girl, it wasn't, why would you think that? 'Nique, you got the point. Every time I see it I can't stop myself from laughing hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahh!!!!!! :D. This and double rainbow guy have been my go to lol lately :D

• @ alexa... Thanks mama ;). YOU ROCK!!! And yes, we have to have fun and make light of these (sometimes horrific) stories. If not, we will go mad. Cliche as it may sound, Life is too short, people. @ cw.. Please ignore the "who are they" comment...some people just feel they have to pick apart every single detail of something so insignificant. If I may speak on behalf of you.."They" are people like me..I am personally not from "the ghetto" although I'm friends with people who are. I am an educated, suburban black woman who is proud of what I am..including the "jerking of the head" when I talk. HAHAHA. It's a part of my genetic make-up I guess. It's the equivalent of the "white-man's overbite" when "they" dance or the "the white-girl-hair-flip" when "they" talk, dance or do anything really. Just many of the hilarious cultural differences that make us who we are! So again, LIGHTEN UP!

• Shannie, I'm with you. He saved his sister, would beat the hell out of whoever attacked her if he could and he is funny as hell. With everything going on in the world today, he gave many people who aren't concerned with race and sexual status a huge laugh...I have played his video several times, passed it on to my co-workers, friends and family and we have all dies laughing. Not at the situation but at the fact that he can add humor to a very serious situation, while getting his point across.. LIGHTEN UP PEOPLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• @Shannie Was your comment directed at me?

• @Shannie LMAO!!! You are a gem!

• Hahahaha!! If you can't find humor in this guys sound byte than you need to see a Doctor so you can get the stick removed from your ass. He saved his sister and gave us all a chuckle. He knows he's funny, you can see his silliness and he is proud of himself. Once again, don't make this anything more than what it is - hilarious!!! Hahahahha :D!!!

• How is the commenter race baiting? That is what was said.

• @cw, ignore without restraint the above race-baiter.

• cw said: okay I don't mean to be disrespectful but two things... 1. if it weren't for the subtitles I'd not have known which one was which 2. why do they jerk their heads around when they talk? @CW.....who are they???? I thought you weren't speaking of race. You have been exposed. Think twice before you try to cover up racial profiling next time.

• @John Smalls What's the difference?

• @ANA, you're fab. Truly, it does have zero to do with his color or his gayness, it's just about a brother who refused to let his sister be hurt. He's got more cojones than a lot of macho guys. LOL! Yeah, I realize that the neck-hip connection is not genetic to all but it does seem to cluster. I've variously wondered if it's to be a harder target to hit, or to show bad-assery, or to just mess with us sometimes--which is damn funny! Hey, if we can't have fun around here, we'd have to go postal. :D ¡Salud chica!

• Ohh, P.S to the rapist guy: "You are so dumb..you are really dumb, for real"!!

• BAHAHAHAHAHA. This made my day..(look people, I have an uneventful kind of job). And some of the comments (from those who don't take themselves too seriously, of course), are f'n hilarious. @ alexa.... "I think they move their heads like that because it's attached to the hip bone. They stick their hip out one way, their head goes the other". Priceless my dear..and for the record, I'm black and not all offended by this video or these comments. And @ Iraq: BUMPKIN: Well, you see there was thisin' sound, you know, it soundin' like a train a comin' down the track and then the whole trailers roof came off.". Again, this is genius commentary!!! Finally @ Sally: of course reporters target a certain demographic...it makes for good TV, duh. People are much more likely to watch the news if its entertaining. And everyone can relate to these characters, on some level. Lighten up!! Thanks everyone for making me laugh..I really needed that. And I learned too...because of this whole debate, I now know that as a black woman, my neck and hip bone and directly connected..lol. I'm not sure what race/sexual orientation has to do with this at all. And although the issue at hand is not a laughing matter, the "believabilty" is a riot. Thanks everyone for making me laugh..I really needed that (minus the tears and sudden urge to pee).

• Yeah, hide yo husband too !

• It's also a good idea to hide yo kids, hide yo wife, and hide yo husband.

• It's a good idea to lock your windows especially at night. I hope they catch this sexual predator soon.

• @SJ--watched the remix today at work. That is the funniest freakin thing I have seen in a long time. At least this guy loves his sister and tried to help her. Who cares if he is black, white, yellow, pink, sorta brown...or gay.

• They did a remix that is unbelievably catchy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEvNS5TzvwM

• I love Antoine! If you can't see how much fun having a few drinks with this guy would be, you might be utterly devoid of imagination. How in the world is how you comport yourself more important than what kind of person you are? I'll take a little craziness over stuffiness any day.

• @AOM Thx so much for the link, i was laughing till i cried, really ! Here's the link: http://www.buzzfeed.com/expresident/bed-intruder-song.

• Can't we have a laugh from time to time without being accused of being anti-blacks, anti-gay, anti-you name it ? I've praised the guy helping his sister, blamed the culprit, but come on, let me laugh just a bit over the video. But yes, he's giving the Antoine Dodson of the entire world a good name. I was wrong on that one. My bad. I'm a bad person.

• Can I have your number guy from MadTV

• Am glad he stepped up and assisted her in what must have been a scary incident. I really don't think this is all that funny. So what if he's gay, straight, purple, black...whatever. He protected her, and that's all that matters. Kudos to you, Antoine!!

• he's great!!! more entertaining that most comedians!!

• I think he's great and I easily understood every word he said. He was upset and he seems a bit eccentric. So what?

• BAHAHHAHAHA I was just about to come on here & tell you guys about the remix, but aom beat me to it. Lol I gotta say, that is THE most funniest thing i have seen this week lol

• @Annie, OMG - thanks! The follow-up interview just confirmed what I thought when I saw him the first time: this gay brother is more man than a lot of straight men I see comments from around here. He didn't worry about the criminal's civil rights or his feelings--he focused on his sister's civil rights and feelings, like he's supposed to. He kicked ass and will happily do it again--while calling the police to come and arrest the perp. Y'all need to go see it. It's great.

• HAHAHAHHAA This is awesome: http://www.buzzfeed.com/expresident/bed-intruder-song Its an auto-tuned remix of this interview. Basically someone made a musical version of this guy. Awesomeness.

• ummmm Michael.....HE IS BLACK. He has gotten nothing but "kudos" from anyone here. I wish I could meet this guy and get to know him. I know he would make a good friend. Doen't matter if he is black, gay or has zebra stripes. This is a guy who really loves his family and is willing to protect them. This is a guy who willing put himself in front of the cameras (looking silly) to all of America letting them know that he didn't like rapist! You don't get much better in my book.

• wow, all of these comments are abou him being black. alot of you need to grow up.

• Here is a follow-up interview with Antoine. http://www.bestweekever.tv/2010-07-31/update-antoine-dodson-reacts-to-internet-fame-looks-fabulous-obviously/

• Some of u people r just ignorant. Go 2 ur trailer park were ur f**kn ur Mom/sister while ur father/ grandfather watches. Keepn it n the family. Trailer parks.... years of inbreeding can't be wrong!!!!!

• all i saw was a brother who was upset about someone trying to rape his sister. it wasn't really all that comedic.

• I've seen plenty of "pinks" talk on camera and show their asses just as much as the next person. Though I'm Italian so I'm not so sure about the whole "pink" thing, but anyway. I have actually had this conversation with my husband - god help the fool in my family that EVER goes on tv in the event something happens to me that warrants television coverage. If I'm alive, I'll kick their ass when I'm better, and if I'm dead, I'll find a way from whatever "afterworld" there to haunt their ass and make them regret putting my personal business out there. It isn't a matter of color, pinkie, white, black, whatever but whether or not you are an attention whore.

• If Antoine wasn't black, everybody'd be talking about how gay he was. This has to be one of the most flamboyant performances of the year.

• Oh shit Iraq beat me too it I honeslty saw the last post about race and thought of the tornado descriptions I've seen over the years, and a SnL skit I believe, LOL Iraq was way funnier. Whoooops

• Why does race always come up? This guy is a hero. He solved a problem like a man. I hope they do find him. A good raping would be justice. The perp is obviously someone with experience committing rapes. Was Al Gore in Huntsville that night? Any of the Kennedy clan?

• Look people LOL! I am white and how many white people on the news have I seen describing the "tornado"? LOL! Its usually a older white man in flannel, few teeth gone saying something like, "It took my ruff clean off!!!!". (Yes I know I misspelled roof that was intentional.) Or some "eye witness" to whatever is going on. This guy was putting on for the camera, but damn it was amusing!

• Why always brining up the racism thing ? Come on, look at him talking, he's just a caricature of some sort. I know he did help his sister and that's a good point for him. But still, he's laughable talking to the camera. That's a funny video somehow, if you keep the rape issue away for a couple of seconds. I mean who's NOT going to laugh at this ?

• I think everyone is racist,but yea the wasnt the point.If i ever see a rappest in action i kill the peace of shit.

• They should make a documentary about Antoine Dodson, i think i'll buy the DVD right away. With behind the scenes, bonus etc... Maybe he should even direct it himself.

• I live in Huntsville. I love it here. That being said, this guy is a saint for protecting his sister no matter how dramatic his reenactment may be. As far as people calling him stupid, well huntsville happens to be named as one of the ten smartest cities in the world (according to Forbes). Even if he is uneducated, he is in a good place to improve. However, speaking of funny Alabama videos, you hit should go to youtube and search for the Mobile leprechaun video. It will crack you up too. It was also a news video.

• @Iraq2010 LMAO!!!! So true, so true. In the words of Ron White, you can't fix stupid. And in the words of someone else I can't remember, maybe me, it comes in all colors. :D

• @ Sally You must be joking that only blacks get picked to be stupid on camera. Have you not seen the post tornado interviews in tornado alley?? Those are the funniest videos I have ever seen. I know the reporters go looking for the most inbred "pink" people they can find to interview. REPORTER: What did you hear before the tornado hit?" BUMPKIN: Well, you see there was thisin' sound, you know, it soundin' like a train a comin' down the track and then the whole trailers roof came off."

• Now if anyone calls you an 'Antoine Dodson', you know that is may not be a compliment. LMAO !

• Not really the smartest bunch

• BTW, a man who breaks into a bedroom to rape their occupant is not an 'idiot' in my book, but a criminal. 'You are so dumb, you are really dmb, for real' best line i've heard in a while really. Tell you 'that !'

• How to become a victim of your own penchant for ridicule. Poster child for stupid. Hopefully looks like the victim only has one brother. Oh wait, does he have a twin ? Imagine them talking to the camera both at same time...

• Is it 'IRONIC', when stupid racist people, like 'Sally', can't figure out that, they themselves are well...stupid and racist...

• I'm glad they have some potential evidence to assess. Though if the offender is relative young, or new at this he might not be in the system. It's strange that in all of their rambling they didn't once bother with a description of the suspect to help assist investigators.(or viewers watching who might KNOW the guy) The woman was rather vague in stating a "strange guy from the projects tried to rape her." Followed by her brothers monologue. Also the trash can is likely to have the prints of everyone from that household, and god knows who else from the general area to Screen through. (perhaps the shirt will have workable DNA to run with.)

• No need to get so upset Facestomp. There are plenty of "pinkies" (Gosh, I love that) that do nothing but sit back and think the world entitles them a free living. I have a family of them as neighbors in fact. Three deadbeat baby daddies and a mom and grandmother that do nothing, and I mean nothing, but sit and read and play video games all day. Only time they leave house is to go grocery shopping or to walk over and borrow something from me. Hell, the three kids are over here ALL day long playing with mine and they don't even bother to call them home for something to eat. So laziness is not just a black thing, laziness knows no colors or boundries.

• Guys, rape, even attempted, is never funny. However, Antoine Dodson is effing hysterical. I sat here telling myself 'You can't laugh, this is a serious situation.' But then he had to thrown in the 'so you can run and tell that' and I lost it.

• What ever happened to a person bieng an INDIVIDUAL? I mean wow how quickly the tides turn. WHEW!

• Hahahahaha :D

• Sally "pink" people like to rape their kids?? Oh, black people have never done that....The only "pink" people I have ever seen are redheads at the beach with sunburn. Funny, how black people can call white people names and it's ok. Why not try to rise above and lead by example?

• Sharon, my comment was not at you...it was at everyone in general. Racism does go both ways, I read it here everyday. People defending criminals if they are the same race as them or not feeling empathy for people of different races. I myself am white and I don't care what color a criminal is or a victim. Sorry for the rant.

• So sorry LoLo..I can be called whitey, honkey, and cracker and it not faze me...but calling me pinkie? Well them are just fighting words!!! (sarcasm) And everyone knows the difference between ghetto and trailer park . I know it takes alot of money to find new housing to move out of ghetto, wherein it is alot easier to get out of park..all you do is hook up and drive the f*ck out if you want to.

• Sally...why do so many black girls where straight hair or where blonde weave??? Why don't they grow their hair the way it was made? Why do they have to add fake hair?

• why have the comments turned to race??? He was a brother protecting his sister as any brother no matter what color should do. Rapes, murders, incest,abuse etc happens in every race, every religion & every country. So tired of reading comments & it's all about race instead of the crime.

• Ahhhhh Sally, thanks so much for clearing that up.. I thought I was really really drunk and seeing pink people everywhere. Now that I know you see them too, I don't feel like such a lush. And we "pink" people feel ohhh so much better knowing that black people kill each other for no reason except turf and street corners. I guess we don't love the ground as much as you. Also, ignorant pink people usually feel man/woman enough to kill one on one, wherein black people have to take 3-4 friends along to help. And one to man the camera video. So there!

• OK, I just watched the video, I think the reporters pick certain people to talk on television on purpose. To remind pink people that they are superior. I hope you guys don't think that there aren't ignorant white people out there too, reporters seem to not put them on tape. This guy was also very gay and obviously desperate for attention. We black people always feel better knowing that pink people love to rape their kids and kill their parents for whatever reason. There are hundreds of stories like that to every one of these stories! So there!

• New product hitting the market... Ghetto bobbleheads !!! Better the ADT alarm system. Guaranteed to protect children, women and husbands. BUT WAIT.... THERE'S MORE Call in the next 10 minutes and we'll send you a free afro pick and red bandana. A $2.99 value sent to you for free. Just pay extra shipping and handling.

• First of who are they? (They move their heads like that), white people wouldn't be able to sell anything without black people's music, why are they (white people) darkening their skin, buying butt pads, etc. And another thing as far as the "ghetto" is concerned, if black people hadn't been brought over here to build this country on their backs, you suburban hypocrites wouldn't be able to judge them with the stuff you enjoy that their ancestors worked for free! (I learned that in my history class). I know the truth hurts, so let's hear it! Laugh at that!

• First let me say -- good for him for protecting his sister -- but I have to admit I laughed my ass off watching his antics. At first I thought maybe it wasn't real - it's almost as if he is a caricature? Seriously, too f*cking funny. @Mark - I thought the same thing -- a big bag of gay. I know, I'm gonna hear it.

• I couldn't even watch the full video, once he started talking I stopped. I hate it when people talk like that. It's good that he stopped his sister from being raped, but jesus, does he really have to talk like that and embelish how he does? Sorry lol I just hate it when people talk like that, and the sister isn't far off.

• That was funny I don't care who you are.

• Race shouldn't be a factor in this...and maybe coming from growing up in Detroit I really don't grep a difference between Trailer Park vs. Ghetto upon Racial lines. Where I'm from, the former are rural bumpkins and the later are inner-city urbanites, both however contained the same smorgasbord or Vietnamese, Hindi, Arab, Greek, Caucasian, Bavarian, Russian, Afro-American, Native American, and Mexican demographics as anywhere else. (Poverty doesn't discriminate and makes equals of everyone in that same boat, after all!) Personally, I'm surprised the Race issue came up at all and it wasn't a Sexual Orientation issue that was addressed instead. I know my Gaydar went off immediately. (Not that Sexual Orientation should matter either, but just pointing out that it seemed more marked of a distinction than Race.) I agree that Antoine is quite the character. If he really isn't Chris Rock in disguise then someone at Fox needs to give this guy a Late Night Talk Show, like yesterday!

• Y'all are some racist *ss m*therf*ckers! As a "white" person, I would gladly take my "ghetto" home any day over a f*cking trailer park. That's where you really need to worry about getting raped. Right on Antoine! I wish he were my friend!

• hey shades-I double checked the comments and I don't see anyone mentioning color or race except you.

• i really don't see you why you guys have to act like black people are some strange race you don't understand, some foreign culture that all you whiteys try to wrap your heads around. different cultures, different ways of doing things. when it comes down to it that shit is hilarious, regardless of what color you happen to be.

• Yikes!

• I thought that was a SNL digital short. Really.

• ooohhh...I see lol thanks alexa ;D

• I live in Huntsville and this just makes me embarrassed for my town that not only was this shown on local news but is apparently making its way national as well. I swear it's not really like that here! AND I'm not worried at all about my husband being raped... of course, we don't live in the ghetto so...

• "He's snatchin' your people up, tryin' to rape'em so y'all need to hide your kids, hide your wife and hide your husband because they rapin' everybody out here!" LOL!! Honestly, I was expecting him to be totally unintelligible, yet, no, I understood him. *checks forehead for fever* LMAO!!! @cw, I think they move their heads like that because it's attached to the hip bone. They stick their hip out one way, their head goes the other.

• okay I don't mean to be disrespectful but two things... 1. if it weren't for the subtitles I'd not have known which one was which 2. why do they jerk their heads around when they talk?

• I'm half tempted to call Shenanigans and say that is really Chris Rock and this is some kind of Viral Ad Campaign to promote his upcoming show. That said, Antoine made my day!

• I wonder how the reporter and camera man kept straight faces thru THAT interview!!! I think I'm with you, John, send me to the trailerpark... no ghetto for me!

• Just the video I needed to see to lighten my day! Haha! Bravo Antoine, bravo!!

• God I'd rather live in a trailerpark than the ghetto ass projects.
