As a satirical joke?

Blackface is usually done as a joke. Except in maybe Birth of a Nation.
Hudson Howard
Amos & Andy was hilarious and still holds up by today's standards. Today they're considered "uncle toms" for being black men playing stupid characters, kind of like how Jackie Gleason and Lucille Ball made white people look bad I guess.
Lincoln Gutierrez
I'd assume so, it's definitely the most convincing one I've seen and I loved the way they used it as a plot point for his character.
I'm not sure if the It's Always Sunny episode where they make their own Lethal Weapon was made after it though, if you want to count TV with movies.

Levi Howard
No.
Andrew Cox

white dude wearing makeup to look like a black dude
Angel Gray

Aiden Morgan
if that was a joke then I don't see how it was supposed to be funny at all
