House Party is a series of hip-hop comedy films that began as starring vehicles for the rap duo Kid 'N Play (Christopher Reid and Christopher Martin). As the title suggest, each movies find the protagonists hosting a party, though at different locations and for different reasons.The first movie, released in 1990, was centered around a house party hosted by Play as his folks were out of town. Kid is invited of course among a slew of other friends. However the day of the party, he gets in trouble with the local bullies (R&B group Full Force) and causes a fight at his school. His father (comedian Robin Harris) is informed of this and bars Kid from going to the party. Kid manages to sneak out anyway and hilarity ensues both at the party and afterward proving to be a long night for everyone involved.The second film (1991) sets Kid, now living with Play after his father died (as Harris had died not long after finishing the first movie) off to college thanks to some charity of his local church. This is much to the chagrin of his friend who wants Kid to go into music with him after they got the attention of a record producer. Misfortune however befalls Kid no sooner then he starts his semester after he gets conned out of his tuition money. One thing leads to another before the duo wind up hosting a party on the campus to help Kid stay in college.The third movie (1994) see Kid getting married to his girlfriend Veda (who was introduced in this movie rather than his past girlfriend Sidney (Tisha Campbell). Play meanwhile has gone into the music business as a manager to a female rap trio, Sex as a Weapon (TLC). Of course though things get complicated before everything winds down to a bachelor party thrown for Kid. This film was notable for debuting Chris Tucker and featuring the rap group Immature (later known as IMx) who play Kid's nephews. It was the last movie to feature a plot revolving around Kid 'N Play but not the last to feature them altogether.And speaking of IMx, seven years after part 3 came and went in the theaters. A fourth movie was made in 2001 that was an egregiously low-budget direct to video feature, staring said rap group. Subtitled Down To The Last Minute, the film focuses on Jon Jon (Marques Houston, playing a completely different character from the third movie) house sitting for his rich and overly strict Uncle Charles's mansion, being told right from the get-go not to have anyone over, especially Jon Jon’s best friends: Mark and T (Jerome Jones and Kelton "LDB" Kessee, Houston's fellow bandmates). Of course Jon Jon quickly disobeys him once he’s out of sight and throws a bash. Inevitably Charles' vacation goes south and he's set to come home, forcing Jon Jon and his friends to frantically fix up the house or face Charles' wrath.After that film was poorly received and flopped in sales, the series supposedly fell by the wayside and was thought finished. But much to many a surprise, a fifth film, Tonight's The Night, was released in 2013. A legacy sequel to the ‘90s trilogy, this film instead features new characters and follows the protagonist Chris (Tequan Richmond) finishing high school but will end up leaving his best friend and crush. So he plans a party for her which of course leads to complications and hijinks. Like the last film, it was a direct to video fare and even features a cameo by Kid 'N Play reprising the roles of their fictional selves. In the years that have passed since the third movie, the pair now have their own record label - accomplishing a goal they decided on at the end of the second movie and pursued throughout the third. No other characters from the Kid n Play era are featured or mentioned.In 2022, a modernized sixth film was produced by LeBron James’ production company Spring Hill Entertainment. This time around, house cleaners and aspiring club promoters Damon and Kevin decide to host a giant blowout at Lebron's mansion while he's away in an attempt to make some big money after being fired from their job. Several big-name entertainers and sportspeople, including James himself, appear in the movie in various capacities alongside previous franchise stars Kid 'N Play reprising their roles in a non-speaking cameo. The film was set to debut on HBO Max in August 2022, but was instead transferred to a theatrical release by Warner Bros. Discovery, dated for January 13, 2023. Due to poor marketing and immensely negative reviews, the film’s underperformance at the box office has effectively ended the series for good. | |

Only Sane Man: Kid, also a Dogged Nice Guy and Straight Man. Whether he's either just trying to have fun, or find some stability in his life, he's either being tormented by Stab and his brothers, roped into one of Play's stupid schemes, surrounded by less-than-pleasant relatives, or simply screwed over by plain old bad luck. | |

| House Party (1990) / int_25b4ad2f | comment |
Surprisingly Happy Ending: At the end of the second movie, it seems like Kid has to drop out of college after he decides to give the party proceeds to Mr. Lee to help him clean up the hall, but at the last minute, Play sells Foreplay, his Mustang, and gives the profits to Kid, allowing him to keep going. Also, Play gets a job as a photographer from the guy he sold it to, and Bilal gets to help him. On top of Rick and Selena finally getting caught and arrested for their time as Con Men and the bullies getting promoted, its implied even if Kid and Sidney don't get back together, they'll reconcile and stay good friends. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: In the first movie Stab (the bully that hassles Kid at the start) after getting rejected to Play's party, decides to burn the place down in retribution. His two brothers Pee-Wee and Zilla are repulsed and admit that the idea is too extreme. Beating people is one thing but burning them, which could lead to fatalities, is crossing the line. | |

Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Kid and Play, respectively. While Kid is a Nice Guy who doesn't hesitate to look out for his friends, cares for his dates, and resolves conflicts without resorting to violence, Play is a Jerk with a Heart of Gold who wants to enjoy his life with music regardless of who he has to step on, though it takes a lot to show that he cares too. | |

| House Party (1990) / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: Barely averted. In the first movie, Stab and his brothers attempt to crash the titular party (mostly to mess with Kid), but are both kept out of the house, and punked off by Kid and several other partygoers. In response, Stab tries to burn down Play's house,note Zilla and Pee-Wee thought he was going too far, and tried to talk him down. and gets as far as dousing the outside in gasoline, but is stopped by the cops right before he could light a match. | |

The Immodest Orgasm: In the second film, Play closes the record store he manages early just so he can have sex with a random woman he met earlier in the same day, under the false pretenses that he’ll let her sing backup on his demo in return. The woman has a screaming orgasm so absurdly loud and manic, that it literally causes an earthquake. Once the woman realizes she has been duped, she angrily confronts Play about it. The best answer he can give her is not to “sweat him”. | |

Celebrity Paradox: The Dance-Off between Kid 'N Play and Sydney & Sharene is to the song "Ain't My Type of Hype" by Full Force. But Full Force plays the guys bullying Kid. So who's song is this in-universe? Downplayed with Kid 'N Play themselves. They've performed some of their real-life album cuts throughout the movies, but they're acknowledged as up-and-coming rappers in-universe, so it can be assumed they recorded some of those songs in-universe, too. | |

Fan Disservice: In the first film and its sequel, a couple being spotted having sex from their bedroom window by the teenagers outrunning the bullies? Fanservice. The other half of that same couple being an obese man? Disservice. | |

One-Steve Limit: Justified. Since Kid and Play share the same first name in real life (Christopher), Play's first name was changed to Peter for the films, thus partially subverting The Danza. | |

Insult Backfire: Throughout the first movie, Stab and co. were harassing Kid for being weak, repeatedly chanting "I smell PUSSY!" whenever they saw him. When they said it again to Kid and several others when attempting to crash the party, Kid and co. sting them with this as they leave: | |
