![]() For this reason, among others, the character was a weird choice to center a feature film around. Everybody can understand Pootie’s speech perfectly, except the audience. Show writer Lance Crouther played the character of Pootie Tang, a friendly fur-favoring cocksman who speaks in unintelligible ‘seventies-style jive. Pootie Tang is based on a recurring character from The Chris Rock Show, theexcellent late-1990s variety show on HBO, hosted and created by Chris Rock and written by several now-acknowledged comedy greats, including one Louis CK. ![]() In fact, considering the talent involved, it’s strange that the cult of POOTIE TANG isn’t even larger than it already is. At the time, it landed with a sickly splat, although since then it’s grown a sizable cult around it. POOTIE TANG landed in theaters in a more relatively innocent era, in June of 2001.
