50 Cent has made a calling out of rapping about his street supremacy, why women should rest with him, and how shorties should dance (provided, of course, that said shorties are celebrating birthdays).
But until now, 50 has never actually been funny. He does, however, have an ever-expanding Web empire (we`ll call it a wempire;
make it viral, kids!), which gets a new arm tomorrow (Thursday, April 28) when ThisIs50Comedy.com makes its debut.
The place will be hosted by comedian and ThisIs50 contributor Young Jack Thriller (whose biggest contribution to Internet comedy so far is a serial of fraud and often offensive interviews with stars like Rihanna and Michael Vick), and it`s unclear at the moment whether or not 50 himself will be mired in any joke-telling or sketch-acting. But beneath that gruff exterior is a comedian waiting to go free.
While his songs have nary a lighthearted moment in them, the man born Curtis Jackson has been funny before. He manages to put a few chuckles into his execution in the picture for "Candy Shop" (watch the construction on his side when his shirt gets whipped off), and there`s a certain goofiness in his overture to "In Da Club" (whether he realizes it or not, his "I`m Batman" inversion in that time is pretty chortle-inducing). There`s also his execution in the Val Kilmer movie Gun.
But if he truly wants to shew off how comedic he is (and make ThisIs50Comedy a success), 50 should really tap into whatever it is about Vitamin Water that makes him hilarious.
This time is pretty amazing, if but for the final 20 seconds or so, but the one below really puts him over as a guy who can get it:
