The Danny Glover Game
My friend likes to play the Danny Glover game when meeting new people:

If someone raises the subject of a famous film with a famous black actor starring in it you should pretend to be convinced Danny Glover is the man in question.

e.g. - "Yeah, I remember The Matrix, Danny Glover plays a cool bald guy with round shades on."

No matter how fervently people try to correct you, carry on claiming it's Danny Glover. After a while most people will stop arguing and just accept that the person they have just met truly believes Danny Glover was in The Matrix.

Never reveal that you are on a wind-up or you lose the Danny Glover Game, it is for your own personal amusement only.

Advanced players can raise the stakes a bit by replacing genuine examples of Danny Glover roles that your opponents throw back at you with Denzel Washington

e.g. - "You mean the cop from The Crow? No, that was Denzel Washington..."

I bet you all try it this weekend......

But
the cop from The Crow wasn't Danny Glover, so that isn't a genuine Gloverism.

No,
you don't get it.
The game isn't to pretend that Glover wasn't in films that he really was (like The Crow). Nice try though...

Does anyone here remember the Eric and Ernie "Burt Reynolds" sketch?

No
No, no, no.
Ernie Hudson was Winston in Ghostbusters, Morgan Freeman was in Shawshank Redemption. You guys are ruining the purity of the Danny Glover Game.

The point of the game is to pretend that Danny Glover was in films that he wasn't. If your opponent mentions a film that he was in (eg Lethal Weapon, Driving Miss Daisy, The Crow) you should say it was Denzel.

Keep it simple and you have a chance of winning.

One person got so worked up about it that he called me a cunt who knows fuck all about films or black people.

Still my favourite moment of the day was claiming that Danny Glover, Danny Glover, Danny Glover and Danny Glover were good in Sweet sweetbacks badasssss song.
