Don Cheadle: My 'Iron Man' Suit Is Racist | CONAN on TBS

Robert Downey Jr.'s Marvel outfit is made out of super-light material, but Don's suit is much heavier. Clearly, racial prejudice is to blame.

Don Cheadle: My "Iron Man" Suit Is Racist | CONAN on TBS

Anyone else notice that ALL Marvel actors say the same thing when asked questions about future films? They all say: "People posted outside with sniper guns and lasers will take me out."
I think they're telling the truth and are screaming for help.

[princevegeta]

Don Cheadle is secretly saying "Help me please"

Why do people always have to put a damper on things? Here I was cracking up, thinking Don Cheadle is hilarious, and I scroll down and see a bunch of numbskulls debating over what people should and shouldn't be allowed to say. Just lighten up, all of you. Life's too short.

Stan Lee with A rifle: ha ha excelsior

This guy has done so many great films and everything, but I still only see him as the guy in Rush Hour 2 when Chris and Jackie go to his asian restaurant and they set his money on fire to show him it's fake.

[MA-eqkw]

the funniest people are always the people who don't laugh at their own jokes when everyone else is laughing

[MrMechanus]

Made the mistake of looking  too far into the comments section... headache incoming.

[Boog_masskway]

That was one of the cleanest jokes on race i've ever heard and yet still people lose their shit.

[Bocalt]

When you realise Conan is thinking of Iron Man 1 in which Cheadle was not.

[hazza]

Now I just can't stop seeing captain planet.

[nipunaggarwal]

Imagine if they just pointed a laser at him for audience's amusement 🤣🤣

[koraegi]

After the sniper joke he smiled
But it wasn't the same smile we did
There was fear in that smile

[ltdowding]

Don seems like such a cool guy just to hang out with. He's so chill.

[TheBrokenMadMan]

Ok...I can understand people not liking the joke, racism is still a fairly serious issue and people don't like to joke about it, I personally found it funny because it was satirical and didn't take it seriously.

However, I don't understand why people believe he was serious and is drawing it out like this, if it was a serious comment I highly doubt he would still be working for Marvel.

It was not meant to be taken seriously, don't freak out over it, he isn't pulling the racial card or trying to sound like a victim, it was a joke, a funny one or not, that's your opinion, but it was JUST A JOKE.

[adammcdonald]

I love his soft spoken style of talking.

[IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

It's funnier when you actually see what he's talking about. RDJ refused to wear the gear and so they literally just let him wear a sweatshirt with the suit entirely CGI and Don has to wear the whole get up that's like a mock War-Machine suit.

[TokyoKazama]

I would love it if anyone who ever won an award anywhere for anything just randomly included Don Cheadle in their acceptance speech. That would be hilarious and so, so random.

[imjoeking]

Don has some nice British humor qualities in his jokes.

[workinghoustonian]

i lost it when he said downtrotting and white light lol

[redjaredits]

don is so awesome. He's a really talented actor and he can be funny as hell.
