Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Putney Swope is a 1969 film satirizing the advertising industry (one of the earliest), directed by Robert Downey Sr.When the CEO of an advertising company dies during a meeting, the board of directors are forced to hold an election for the new chairmen. Since they can't vote for themselves, and are unwilling to vote for each other, all of them vote for the least likely member: music producer and Token Black Man Putney Swope (Arnold Johnson). Swope fires almost everyone, renames the company "Truth and Soul, Inc." and brings on a crew of stereotypical Black Muslims to run the business. Hilarity Ensues.The movie is notable for its cast (which is almost entirely black and well developed), its hilarious lampshading of real-life advertising practices, and its psychedelic (but only slightly over the top) fake commercials.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

Does This Remind You of Anything?: Greedy white administration is thrown out only for the black people who replace them to wind up being equally nasty. Truth and Soul Inc. or post-colonial Africa? | |

Darkest Africa: To support their brothers and sisters in Africa, Putney wants to dispense with telecommunications and send office correspondence entirely by "the drum." Even his associates think this would be insane. Until... | |

| Putney Swope / int_cbe687ab | comment |
Corrupt Corporate Executive: Virtually all of the white cast. So much so, that when the chairman dies in the middle of a meeting, they actually go through his pockets and loot his valuables. | |

Ensemble Cast | |

Ensemble Cast: Surprising for the sixties/seventies. Even the white people and punchline characters get a decent amount of screen-time. | |
