Funny guys never finish last. Disagree? Say what’s good to Affion Crockett, the dude who had you smothered in laughter last Monday with his priceless spoof, “Hunt Chris Brown.” You may not know him by name, but you sure as hell know Affion Crockett by face — well, faces.

The former MTV Wild ’N Out and Short Circuitz star isn’t new to buffing your funny bone.  He hit the ‘net with his own rendition of Drake’s “Best I Ever Had” in August and earlier in July poking at Aubrey’s discomforting Hot 97 Blackberry freestyle. Yet those are just titters compared to the rest of the comedian’s catalogue.

Needless to say, the North Carolina-bred jokester has been making us laugh harder than a Charles Hamilton punch. Peep our seven favorite parodies from AC below, plus his thoughts on beetle juice, chest hair and Drizzy’s most embarrassing moments. Caution: LMFAOs full speed ahead.

Honey’s favorite vid: Shuck N’ Jive sketch from MTV’s Short Circuitz

Affion’s favorite bit: Here are two slim comedians that had the balls to tell the rap game to step it up. It was like death of auto-tune before Jay. We dropped that two years ago. I’m from the South, but all I’m saying is if you’re going to come out with that sound and style, put a little bit more creativity to it.

Honey’s favorite vid: Lil Wayne & Jay-Z “Mr. Carter” spoof


Affion’s favorite bit: There are so many favorites in there. Wayne’s verse was really him saying that he’s the best rapper in the game right now, but I just find it ironic that the best rappers shouldn’t say words like [Impersonates Wayne] ‘Beetle juice, beetle juice’ and ‘fucka pussy, fucka pussy.’ If that’s your idea of what a best rapper is, I shouldn’t interfere with that. He probably doesn’t like the stuff I do.

Honey’s favorite vid: John Legend Short Circuitz spoof

Affion’s favorite bit: I’m a fan of John Legend, 98 percent of the people I impersonate, I’m a fan of. You don’t spoof people that you don’t like. But I just thought it was funny, there wasn’t really anything elaborate about that sketch, I just wanted to feel like an R&B singer at the time for 10min. Sit down with the shirt open and the taco meat chest, you know.

Honey’s favorite vid: Life after Danity Kane comedy feat. D. Woods

Affion’s favorite bit: To me that’s the funniest thing I put out all year. It’s not getting as much shine as all the other joints, but that is my favorite one right now. And mind you it was all improv. We did all of that in one take. I make it make sense in editing. D. Woods was a great sport, she really wanted to do it.

Honey’s favorite vid: Drake Hot 97 Blackberry freestyle spoof

Affion’s favorite bit: (laughs) Favorite part is the end because it actually happened in the real joint. Flex dropped the ill break beat that any MC would’ve just went off the dome with. And Drake was like [Impersonates Drake] ‘Oh! Ooo! Why you put that on??’ like he was about to murder it. Then he walks a round in circles, Diddy boppin’. He’s going down [his Blackberry] he’s scrolling, he’s scrolling [Impersonates Drake]‘Ah, ah, can we come back after the break?’ No, nigga! Go in right now!

Honey’s favorite vid: Drake’s “Best I Ever Had” spoof

Affion’s favorite bit: My favorite part of that video was me reproducing Drake’s fall. It was comical to me that I had three niggas come out of nowhere, stand in the middle of a living room, and help me up. I get off on the intricate little shit like that.

Honey’s favorite vid: Jay-Z’s “Run This Town” spoof

Affion’s favorite bit: There’s so many favorite parts because I played all three of them dudes. If I had to choose though, it would be my Kanye impression as a whole. No one had really seen me do Kanye … [and] to say something really relevant about the Chris and Rihanna thing, through Kanye’s voice … was really my favorite thing.
