In Living Color season 2 episode 6, titled "The Black Man's Guide To Understanding The Black Woman," takes a comedic look at the complexities of relationships between black men and black women.

The episode features a series of skits and sketches that explore common misunderstandings and miscommunications between black men and black women. From misunderstandings about hair care and fashion to differing communication styles and relationship expectations, this episode touches on a wide range of issues.

One particularly memorable sketch features host Keenen Ivory Wayans as himself, offering tips and advice to black men on how to understand and communicate with black women. The sketch incorporates humorous visual aids, including a giant diagram of the female brain and a demonstration of women's various facial expressions.
