    • Trivia
      The show was canceled in 1999. Shawn and Marlon Wayans went on to make Scary Movie a year later. At the climax of Scary Movie, Shawn's character seems to break the fourth wall by emotionally stating "The Wayan's Brothers was a good ass show! And we didn't even get a final episode!"
    • Quotes

      [Gary Coleman enters Pop's diner]

      Pop: Hey, ain't that Webster?

      Shawn: No, Pop. That's Gary Coleman, and watch what you say to him. You might get punched in your eye.

      Pop: Punch me in my eye? I'll put him over my knee and give HIM a "different stroke".

    Crazy as a loon in one silly sitcom
    Cool? Hilarious? Crazy as a loon? You bet. The Wayans Brothers Show was all that and a whole lot more. For the five seasons that it ran on the WB,you'll never what those two were up to conjure up next. You can tell that Shawn was the cool on and in control,and Marlon was the total nut. Their dad? He was something. After they got caught and stuff,their dad would talk to them,and the next get out that big 70's belt from his pants saying,"violence? I'll show you violence!" as the two ran for the nearest exit. It was funny,but it was one crazy sitcom that had me laughing out loud and then some.
