Florida should have thrown Keith out on his A$$!!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 06-23-2006, 10:17 AM

When JJ was all depressed because he lost his job and his girlfriend dumped him, Keith told JJ, "Well, you are tall, dark and Han...well, you are tall and dark." That was a diss coming from from somebody who had no business saying that. He did it right in front of Florida. She should have thrown his ass out or make him apologize.

It was rude. Especially coming from some guy who had been in the family for what? two weeks? I think Florida didn't want to rock the boat, but surely she should have said something like "Keith, come on now, JJ is feeling terrible and that kind of talk is not necessary and not true."

However, notice how Keith picked up right away how to pick on JJ, Bookman, and anyone else? He sure learned how to do that from the Evans. Even Penny did it. Sooo, what kind of example was the family itself setting? DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO? i guess that's why Florida didn't say anything. The most Florida would ever say to Michael when he would pick on JJ was "Michael..." and then show that serious face. Same thing with "Thelma...".

She really should have thrown him out when he said in front of her-"Well I guess you can't get the house because it's no way we are parting with our savings"

LOL

What an idiot he was. Men!!!!! they say things the wrong way. It wasn't what he said, it was how he said it. If he had to say anything, it should have been "Thelma, I was hoping with our savings that we could get our own place." in a nice tone of voice of course. The way he said it sounded rude, crude and controlling. On the other hand, Thelma should know when you marry, you have someone else to consider. You can't just make choices or decide big things like that without talking it over with your spouse. Imagine if Keith had done that without consulting with Thelma? She would have been pissed.

I don't think it was nothing with what he said, it was where he said it, IN FRONT OF FLORIDA-lol

Still, even if he said this to Thelma in private, it was rude and crude. One should be able to say things to their spouse in a way that isn't crude...it should be said in the best way as possible so as not to hurt, cause anger, etc. If my man said those exact words to me like Keith did, I would be pissed. I would start arguing with him. Now, had he come to me in private and said, "Babe, let me talk with you abt something. I love the idea of getting outta here as much as you do...but my feelings are that we save our money so we can have our own place, build our own dreams, etc. can you see where I am coming from?" Now doesn't that sound better than what Keith said?

Exactly. I did say that in the other post if you LOOKED CLOSELY AT IT. i stated that spouses should talk with each other FIRST abt big decisions. She should have talked to him abt in in private FIRST. get it. got it. good.

If it weren't for J.J., I would of easily have nominated Keith as the least favorite person on this show.

I also hated that ep. where he got totally depressed and totally drunk to the point where he hits Thelma!

Oh man, when that episode showed the first time ever, it was a shocking thing to see. Very Norman Lear. Although it is a harsh scene, I love this episode.

He meant it as a joke and Florida knew it and didn't take it seriouly and JJ didn't take it seriously either. It's not like they didn't kid around like that all the time in that house. And by that time, he had known JJ I know for at least 2 months.

Yeah, wasn't his leg out of the cast?

Brian Damage · 06-23-2006, 11:25 PM

I think it was inappropriate, considering the circumstances. Florida een had to tell JJ that Keith really didn't mean that.

JJ wasn't ill, it wasn't life threatening. He was dumped by a woman he hardly saw and who was a gold digger.
