:extract_cover():upscale()/2016/08/17/024/n/1922283/1a208f10_edit_img__37965265_1471476660.gif)
If Black-ish wasn't on your radar (or DVR) over the past two TV seasons, you have been sadly missing out. The ABC family comedy is adorable, warm, and hilarious, and has several standout cast members. In fact, Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross are both up for Emmys for their roles as the Johnson parents, but the entire clan is seriously hysterical. With the Emmys taking place next month, here are just a few examples of why this ABC is sitcom is so damn funny.
01
There's Andre, the Johnson dad.
02
He's a great dad. He has reasonable requests for his children.
03
And sometimes some interesting requests.
04
Some of his advice can be a little . . . off.
05
And then there's Rainbow — or just Bow — and she is a badass.
06
She has some of the best dialogue.
07
And her relationship with Andre is hilarious.
08
09
They don't just have sitcommy fights, they have real fights.
10
She can be a little rigid.
11
But she's so funny when she's being the regulator.
12
13
Bottom line: They make a great team.
14
Then there's the oldest daughter, Zoey. She can be a little shallow.
15
16
Being popular is very important to her right now.
17
18
Then there's Andre, Jr., who is not quite as popular as Zoey.
19
But he's got a LOT of spirit.
20
And can be a little sensitive.
21
Though there's that one time his dad teaches him how to throw barbs.
22
He's a little too good at it.
23
Then there's the twins. Let's start with Diane.
24
She is strong-willed, to say the least.
25
And she does not mince words.
26
Do NOT get on her bad side.
27
She tells you exactly what she is thinking.
28
Let's not forget her twin and partner-in-crime, Jack.
29
Although Diane is definitely the Alpha.
30
He's so cute, though.
31
And outside of the family, you have Dre's work friend, Charlie.
32
He's special.
33
His fear of Diane is one of the best things on the show.
34
The dislike is mutual.
35
36
Oh, and Pops also lives with the family.
37
He's very wise.
38
But it's Ruby, Dre's mom, who goes OFF.
39
She is a bad b*tch, it's true, but . . .
40
. . . Did she just ask that?
