Archives: "Barbershop: The Series"

This skit is a parody of the movie Barbershop, and was written back in 2002...long before it was announced that a real Barbershop TV series was coming. Just like the "Your Friendly Neighborhood Crackhead" skits, this skit was also rejected for 2002's Out Da Box. However, it was only rejected because it had "too many characters." I really hope that the real Barbershop TV show is at least as funny as this skit. Enjoy!
