Friday is a stoner Black Comedy film created by Ice Cube in 1995 and directed by F. Gary Gray (his first film). Friday tells the story of Craig Jones (Ice Cube), a UPS worker that ends up getting fired on his day off as the film opens; as a result, Craig hangs around the porch of his house for pretty much the whole day. Craig's friend Smokey (Chris Tucker) joins him as the duo observes the other oddball characters in the neighborhood. Things take a drastic turn when Smokey is revealed to owe money to a drug dealer named Big Worm (Faizon Love), who gives Smokey until nightfall to pay him for the weed he was supposed to sell (Smokey ended up smoking it instead). Craig ends up getting pulled into the mess, and the duo frantically try to think of a way to earn the money before the deadline.A moderate success when it was released, Friday earned $28,215,918 in the international market; most of it came from the United States, where it was the 62nd most successful film of its year.The film features a lot of well-known African-American actors who were relatively minor back when the movie was released — it promoted Chris Tucker to star status. When Ice Cube decided to make a sequel six years later, Tucker declined to reprise his role; newfound religious beliefs made him want to shy away from playing a drug addict, which is why he wasn't present in the sequel films. (Many fans argue that the sequels suffered in quality as a result.)Next Friday, released in 2000, picks up a few days after the first. Deebo (Tommy "Tiny" Lister), the resident bully that Craig defeated in the first movie, escapes from prison looking for vengeance. Craig's father (John Witherspoon) decides to hide Craig at his brother Elroy's (Don "D.C." Curry) house in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Craig meets his cousin Day-Day (Mike Epps), then Hilarity Ensues as the duo bums around the neighborhood — unaware that Deebo is tracking Craig down. General consensus of Next Friday is that it's slightly on par with the first film, though nowhere near as good.Friday After Next, the third (and so far final) film in the franchise, was released in 2002; it is set at Christmas time rather than summer. Craig and Day-Day are living together as roommates in a ramshackle apartment, and the night before Christmas Eve, they're robbed by a burglar — dressed as Santa — who makes off with their presents as well as their rent money. The next day, Craig and Day-Day's landlady breathes down their necks about not having the rent money, threatening to send her son Damon (Terry Crews) — who just got out of prison — to beat the rent out of them if they don't pay up. The duo spend the film working as strip mall security guards, once again observing the colorful residents while getting into hijinks and attempting to find the crooked Santa that robbed them. Friday After Next is often viewed as vastly inferior to the previous two films, although it does have its moments (and its fans).15 years after ...After Next, it was revealed by John Witherspoon that a fourth film was in the works, titled Last Friday. Though at the current, nothing more is known about it. With John and Tiny's deaths in 2019 and 2020, respectively, likely throwing a wrench into things as well.The series received a short-lived animated adaption on MTV2 which has a DVD set.This film is not related to the Robert A. Heinlein novel or the Fountain of Memes song "Friday" by Rebecca Black (though someone has made that connection).

The Dreaded
 Friday / int_2ae29c0d
comment
The Dreaded: Deebo, the local bully of the neighborhood in the first movie. Despite never wielding firearms (least not in the first movie), he known to be monstrously strong that no one is willing to get on his bad side. And his pedaling on his (stolen) bicycle is played up like he's an urban Jaws. Craig and Smokey even making a note to hide their jewelry if they see him coming. Damon fills this role in Friday After Next albeit in a minor capacity since he's the son of Craig and Day-Day landlord and giving them extra incentive to get the money to pay her.

Psychopathic Manchild: Deebo in the first film. He behaved pretty much like an overgrown trouble-making punk, wore clothes that were somewhat childish in fashion, and never was shown driving a car but was always seen riding a bike. The Joker brothers and Damon count as well. Seems to be the defining standard for Friday antagonists. Sister Sarah's grandsons in the third film. One of them even swats some papers out of a random old man's hands for simply looking at him.

Noodle Incident: When Craig shows Willie the gun he is planning to protect himself with, Willie mentions that Elroy learned about picking up a gun "the hard way" when he was 22 years old. However, since Elroy doesn’t make his onscreen debut until the second movie - he isn’t mentioned by name. The time Deebo tried to choke Craig in Smokey’s backyard. The reason why is never revealed. In Friday After Next Craig and Day-Day are never told what happened to the last security guards.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Friday / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: While Smokey claims to the audience that he wasn't really considering rehab despite telling Big Worm he's going off to it. Craig in the second film states that he ultimately did when he finally noted he had a drug problem. Naturally dealing with a drug runner is not something you take lightly as Smokey ends up doing. This resulted in Big Worm acting on a threat via pull a drive-by hit on Craig and Smokey. Smokey manages to get it called off by using the money he lifted off Deebo to pay Big Worm his earnings then swearing off doing business with him again. While Money Mike manages to fend off Damon with the pliers. Damon notes that he has to let go sooner or later which Mike meekly does concede. Most he can do is lead Damon outside so he can at least get a running head start. During the climax of the third movie, Craig and Day-Day chase the Santa thief into a residence... who promptly beat up all of them with pool cues and canes since they are trespassing. It's only broken up when the crazed shotgun-wielding neighbor makes his way in, forcing everyone to run for it.

Police Are Useless: The cops in the film are very incompetent; it's the holidays, so they don't really feel like working and just laze around the whole movie. They're unsympathetic to Craig and Day-Day having been robbed. Oh, and then the cops find Day-Day's stash of weed in his room. The only time they are useful is when they arrest a pair of shoplifters who tried to rob Money Mike and were caught by Craig and Day-Day.

His mother Betty is shown to be one as well when she cooks some eggs, bacon, sausages and leftover pork chops for breakfast for herself. It's also implied that Lil' Chris is one.

Marijuana Is LSD
 Friday / int_6238a13a
comment
Marijuana Is LSD: Subverted with Smokey's flashback as that weed was laced with angel dust (PCP). Played straight with Craig though- he experiences auditory hallucinations ("You hear my phone ring?" and when the dog figurines begin to whine) and full-blown auditory and visual hallucinations when he sees Big Worm's head in his cabinet and it begins talking to him.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: Very few viewers have noticed that Joi had another guy sleeping beside her in her bed when talking to Craig over the phone. This is as she is reaming him for being spotted at the movies with another girl. He didn't, but Joi isn't hearing it as she is being a hypocrite.

The Stoner
 Friday / int_6db06839
comment
When the cops find a marijuana plant in Craig and Day-Day's apartment, in the third movie, the guys claim its medicinal. The cops don't believe and subsequently take the weed plant, pretty much making them stoner cops. Not sure if Craig or Day-Day qualify as The Stoner, although having your own plant is almost enough call them that. But since the movies take place over the course of a day per movie, who knows whether or not they act like stoners the rest of the time the movie doesn't feature. However, Craig definitely isn't one during the first movie.

Prison Rape: Implied towards Baby Joker in the second movie. Him and his brothers also threatened Day-Day and Roach with this the moment they got captured. Damon is said to have done this to other men during his incarceration because, as his mother puts it, "When you spend 12 years on a level 4 prison yard, you become fond of little girls like yourselves!

Bullying a Dragon: Smokey carelessly angers Big Worm by smoking up all his marijuana, refusing to pay him the money to compensate him for said loss of marijuana (least till the end of the movie when Big Worm makes good on a drive by threat that Craig and he barely avoid, using some money he managed to still off Deebo) and lastly uses profanity at him on the phone. Craig openly flirts with Carla, the Jokers' sister, in the second film, despite Day-Day warning him that they're a trio of drug-running, gun-toting Latin King expies who don't take kindly to interracial relationships and later, breaks into their house to steal their drug money.

The bad Santa in Friday After Next... let's go over this step-by-step. First he's being beaten down with a Christmas tree; next he tries to escape and jumps headlong into a closed window; third, he literally clotheslines himself while running through somebody's backyard; fourth, he gets his ass kicked by a bunch of Crips, ending with him being thrown out of a second story window; and finally, he picks himself up off the pavement and thinking the worst is over, starts doing the Deion Sanders dance, only to be hit by a speeding stretch limo and roll over the roof several times before hitting the asphalt once more. And surprisingly enough, this still doesn't kill him. But at least knocks him out for Craig and Day-Day to finally catch up and get their revenge.

Mood Whiplash: The climaxes usually change the light-hearted tone to serious. The first film was largely comical up until Craig and Smokey got shot at by Big Worm's hitmen. Then of course the confrontation with Deebo afterward. Day-Day and Roach trying to convince Joker not to hurt then to no avail and played pretty scary. Damon's attempted raped of Money Mike is a subversion, because although that would usually be something that would make the movie darker, the whole ordeal is completely played for laughs.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: After Deebo fails to catch up to Craig, Tyrone, at Deebo's instruction, convinces Willie Jones that his son Craig is in trouble. At the time, Craig wasn't in trouble, but Willie doesn't know this and rushes off to help him, unknowingly bringing Deebo and Tyrone with him. But later, Day-Day and Roach get kidnapped by Joker and his goons. Willie arrives at Elroy's house to find that Craig is fine, but Craig arrives soon after and explains the situation and enlists Willie and Elroy's help to rescue them. Elroy and Willie take down Joker's goons, and Deebo knocks out Joker, who was threatening them with a machine gun, buying them enough time for the police to arrive and arrest all of them. Had Deebo not sent Willie on a wild goose chase, Day-Day and Roach would have been wounded or dead, and Karla would still be miserable.

Everyone Has Standards: Craig and Smokey laugh together when Smokey recounts the story of Deebo knocking Red out with one punch, but they're both disgusted when Deebo steals Red's gold chain (that his grandmother had given him).

Epic Fail: The fact that Craig got fired on his day off is treated as one. (The way he recounts it, however, implies that he may have been fired simply because he was a scapegoat for someone else's actions.)

comment
Hypocritical Humor: In first film, Joi calls up Craig and accuses him of cheating on her. On her bed, you can clearly see a (shirtless) guy who's not Craig sleeping next to her. Craig's mom, seeing Mrs. Parker flaunting her body, says she should be ashamed of herself. Then she calls out to her and makes faux-friendly conversation. Big Worm calling the Chili Fritos kid "Fat boy". Red is called out after he claims that he would have helped them if Deebo had robbed them: Smokey complains about his mom being lazy and doing nothing to help with the house. He adds later that she could at least "clean up once in a while". Meanwhile, his own living quarters aren't much better, as you can see piles of clothes all over the floor.

Hood Film: All three to some extent: Friday is a Hood Film mixed with a Stoner Flick. It's about two men, Craig and Smokey, who need to pay a drug-dealer before the end of the day. Smokey was supposed to be selling weed, but he ended up smoking it all. His friend Craig gets dragged into his mess. Next... is set a more posh neighborhood but no less urban, even including a Hispanic gang this time as well. ...After Next is essentially a Hood Film during Christmas time.

Non-Action Guy: Red spends the first movie cringing at the mere thought of Deebo. Then he gets in a free hit after Craig knocks Deebo senseless and re-claiming the bike that Deebo stole from him. Despite his bravado, Smokey prefers to talk his way out of confrontation and shrinks when faced with physical confrontation from the neighborhood bully, Deebo. Day-Day plays this role in the second and third films. Every time there's any kind of physical confrontation and Day-Day is around, he either refuses to fight or gets his ass kicked, while Craig handles himself at least moderately well.

Toilet Humor: Every movie has a variant of this: Willie Jones chastises Craig for getting fired on his day off as he takes a dump. Smokey, getting desperate, gets locked out of his Momma's house and squats behind the bushes of his front yard to take a dump... just as Ezal comes over to wash his car. In Next Friday, when Willie Jones is driving over to Elroy's house after Tyrone convinced him that Craig was in trouble, the extra hot sauce he put on his burrito gave him digestion problems... in the middle of heavy traffic. He just barely makes it. Money Mike gets knocked out by Damon after taking a leak.

Would Hit a Girl: Deebo in the first film twice (though the first is off-screen), which prompts the climax between him and Craig. The first time is when he thought she stole from him. The second is to the girl's sister who tried to call him out. Averted by Day-Day in Next Friday by his fear of Baby D, and played with in Friday After Next, in which he gets his ass handed to him by a female shoplifter. Comedic version with Mr. Jones in the advert for Bros. BBQ in Friday After Next:

Running Gag

comment
Running Gag: In every movie, a Jones gets fired from their job. In the first movie, Craig is fired on his day off because his employers thought they saw him stealing boxes. In Next Friday, Day-Day is fired because Pinky thought Craig was trying to rob his store. In Friday After Next, both Craig and Day-Day are fired - on their first day - when Moly is beaten up by the grandsons of a caroler that Day-Day harassed earlier in the film. A deleted scene in Friday After Next shows that at some point between NF and FAN, Craig and Day-Day had jobs as nursing/assisted living caregivers. No points for guessing how that turned out. Other gags include Willie stinking up someone's restroom and someone getting "knocked the f*** out" and being informed that this happened to them.
