The gays love their cult classics. In film we’ve worshipped John Waters, BABY JANE, SHOWGIRLS, and GLITTER. TV: Absolutely Fabulous and The Comeback. Sometimes the television and films we embrace become mainstream hits. Sometimes, the straight world ignores them completely.
The same could be said about YouTube videos. There are some classic gay YouTube videos out there. One of which is this hilarious sketch from Mad TV. There is nothing “gay” about it for instance. However, every gay I know can recite Anjelah Johnson’s character Bon Qui Qui. We obsess. Unsure why. But, we do.
Apparently, the humor is not lost on the younger, effeminate set. I just now stumbled upon the above video of grade school kids reenacting the Mad TV skit. This kid does Bon Qui Qui better than every one of my friends. The humor may be lost here on SUNfiltered, but I sure hope not. That would be rude!

We have so much to learn from these youngsters. I never would have guessed that kids would come up with their own sketch version of Bon Qui Qui. Thank you so much for posting this Bradford, it’s not only hilarious but extremely refreshing.

Gay blogger posting kids reenacting a horribly racist and stereotypical sketch on a blog for Sundance? Hell hath frozen over.
