Funnyman Chris Rock once said in an interview that men dressed in drag is one of the oldest tricks in the book to get a laugh. Comedians and actors alike have donned dresses and wigs in movies and television shows, raking in millions, largely at the expense of women. Lately, however, there have been more and more comedians on social media using cross dressing as a way to get a laugh, but unfortunately it is at the expense of Black women.

Here’s a list of ten in no particular order.
