Sassy Black Woman | comment |
Since the era of Jim Crow and the Civil Rights Movement, Black people were more visible and could be more outspoken — to a point, particularly if they were female. To illustrate this, sassy "Mammy" figures could scold the family they worked for and playfully berate their employers (so the authors could show that Blacks were not being oppressed). And because of the feminism movement, this was especially the case for Black women. Combine these, and you get the sassy Black woman. It started with the heroines of blaxploitation movies, like Coffy and Foxy Brown (both played by Pam Grier), and continued into the 1980s. She's defined by her vivaciousness, humor and joie de vivre, and can make a good counterpoint to the more grim or snarky members of the cast. In complete contrast to her other variation, is not only a pleasure to be around, but is also so the go to girl for advice and help. These characters usually make good leaders, because though generally fun, insightful, they are still firm in decisions, trustworthy, and speak their minds. Also like the Spicy Latina, the character will usually be sexually liberated and have no qualms acting in a sexual manner, though usually in a less pronounced manner. The positive version is now portrayed a lot more than the negative version, mainly because of the Unfortunate Implications that portraying Black women in only this way had. It's also rather common for the positive variant to be the Only Sane Woman of a group, in which case her "sass" will be more like "exasperated sarcasm". Might also be a white character's Token Black Friend, often in female-led shows. Close cousin to the Spicy Latina. There is a variation on this, more subdued but no less expressive: the regal Deadpan Snarker, who will often be well-spoken and articulate, with a more highbrow vocabulary and a regal, imperious manner of expressing herself, but still willing to toss subtle (or unsubtle) barbs and make herself heard. Perhaps the best known of this "African Queen" variation is the X-Man Storm. Note that this trope might well be on its way to becoming a Discredited Trope - it's seen as stereotypical and lazy writing and people want to see minority characters given the same nuanced characterisation as anyone else. |

Mammy Two-Shoes of Tom and Jerry illustrates what this trope was like in the 1940's. Values Dissonance abound. In the shorts shown on TV now, they at least dub over her voice, making it more of a current example, just barely. | |

Inverted in the start of Last Holiday. Georgia Byrd is shy and timid, and it's her petite (white) friend, Rochelle, that is constantly trying to push her out of her shell with antics like yelling her crush's name across the department store. Once Georgia's Character Development kicks in, though, this trope is in full swing. | |

Community: Shirley flip-flops between this and overdosing on cute most of the time. Unlike most sassy black women, she's quite well-rounded (especially for a half-hour Sitcom). Referred to as such in S01 E22. "Oh No! Sassy Black Schmitty is out of the group." Honestly, while she does have her moments of sassiness, mostly in the beginning of the first season, she's usually non-confrontational/passive-aggressive. Her defining traits are that of a Stepford Smiler well-trained in Passive-Aggressive Kombat with a Hair-Trigger Temper. |

The Princess and the Frog: Both played straight and inverted with Tiana. While also a Nice Girl and an Only Sane Woman, Tiana can be very sassy sometimes. While Eudora is a Nice Girl just like her daughter, there's visible tone of sass in her voice when she tells Tiana that she wants grandkids during "Almost There". |

I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream has Ellen, whose sassy vernacular creates considerable cognitive dissonance in an incredibly bleak game about the end of the world. When confronted with a disembodied jumpsuit taking on the identity of her former rapist, Ellen calls him a "muthuh" and punches him out, to considerable Narm effect. | |

Sharmell Huffman, Booker T's wife, was this in her initial face persona. "Can you dig it, sucka" sounded so much better when coming out of her mouth. This made it all the funnier when, after Booker became King of the Ring, the two of them tried to pass themselves as Upper Class Twits. | |

Monday Mornings: One Patient of the Week from the pilot episode is an obese Black woman, and very outspoken, sometimes downright rude. It seems she's a hypochondriac and a chronic complainer, but Dr. Napur, who is a surgeon and doesn't really have to deal with this case, pushes doctors into other tests or looking for possibilities. The sassy patient was indeed seriously ill. She thanked Dr. Napur for saving her life before the surgery, but was as outspoken and rude-ish as ever. | |

Tasha Mack on The Game (2006). In a rare display on this trope, she's repeatedly called out and mocked for her behavior. Though everyone who does is only doing it in jest, there is at least one example of her sassyness causing her multi-episode relationship to fall out. Tasha Mack is easisly the most negative version of this trope there is. Not only is she loud, she's also negative, jeolous, profane, ignorant, racist, over bearing, and generally a Bitch, as stated above. | |

Total Drama: Leshawna. Her label is the "Sister with 'Tude". Her first appearance is a great example of the trope. Stephanie from the Spin-Off Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race is another good example. She's basically Leshawna with a slimmer figure and a much worse attitude. |

Liberty Washington from My Name Is Earl. Justified, as she is an Expy of her half-sister Joy. Liberty also exploits the trope: she is an aspiring pro-wrestler, and uses the trope as part of her Kayfabe persona. (Earl is helping Randy to rehearse his lines by reading off Liberty's lines.) Earlier, one of Joy's neighbors, who warned Joy about The Peeping Tom terrorizing the trailer park, and smashed her potted fern on Donny's head when he was mistaken for the culprit. |

"You do NOT tell me how to raise my child!" They made fun of the sassy Black woman in the workplace stereotype. An overweight Black woman named Lorraine, displays all the negative stereotypes in an extreme sense, resulting her throwing acid in Francine's face. |

Amazing Kong is silent more often than not in Ring of Honor, TNA and WSU, for sample. In many other promotions she only spoke Japanese. Her first and especially her HUSTLE gimmick were just goofy, but sometimes, such as in NWA\Zero 1, she was very much this trope, even starting a political campaign to get an NWA World Heavyweight Title shot, arguing that being a woman was the only reason she wasn't immediately considered. Her sassy Black woman side came back out in SHINE after she saw Jazz get screwed out of a SHIMMER title match. | |

Big Mouth: The Hormone Monstress (AKA Connie) may not be as over the top as other examples on this list, but she will not hesitate to snap back or cause utter chaos when the situation demands. Appropriate for a being that embodies all things hormonal. | |

Not every Black contestant on RuPaul's Drag Race is sassy, but there's at least one in each season who is note Except Season 6, where Vivacious was mostly good-natured and Trinity K. Bonet's sass was limited to her rivalry with Bianca Del Rio. One of the most memorable is Season 4's Lashauwn Beyond. She may have been eliminated in the second episode, but not before giving this now-classic line: | |

Trixie in American Dragon: Jake Long.note Odd bit of background on this one: the executives tried to tone her down, but most of her characterization came from her voice actress, Miss Kittie. The execs didn't have the sheer Balzac it took to ask a Black woman to act less like herself to her face, and dropped the issue. | |

Bloody Mary from South Pacific is an example of this trope before it became popular. She speaks in You No Take Candle, but she's very spunky! The character is supposed to be Polynesian rather than "Black", but the role is often given to an African-American actress because in the US at least those are easier to come by. | |

Susie Carmichael from Rugrats and All Grown Up! sometimes slips into this, more often in the latter. However she's also portrayed as a Cool Big Sis and mentor to the younger characters, and is a positive foil to the brattier (and therefore sassier) Angelica. Cree Summer was even told to avoid making her too sassy, as they wanted her to sound well-spoken and intelligent. | |

Saturday Night Live: A skit about The View where "Barbara Walters" was calling out all the stereotypes that the hosts fit into. Star Jones was "a sassy Black woman like I've seen on TV." Maya Rudolph, a cast member from seasons 25-33, has been known to play this type of character. She tends to go beyond merely being "sassy" and just be downright rude. Leslie Jones, who joined the cast in Season 40, seems prone to playing this. One sketch features her as the trash-talking manager of a Sprint store, and Louis C.K. as an employee she catches mocking her. The employee tries to keep his job by pretending that he always talks like that. After he keeps this front for six years, the store manager confesses to him that she's not really that sassy, but put on an act to pass the interview. The employee proceeds to confess that he doesn't really talk like a sassy Black woman, either. The store manager then reveals that she really is a sassy Black woman, and since the employee confirmed her suspicions that he was only mocking her, she boots him from her store. |

Harriette Winslow, the elevator operator, in Perfect Strangers. Family Matters was originally supposed to be a show centering on her, since she was a particularly popular Sassy Black Woman.

This was played deadly straight with the health insurance lady in 2004's Crash (played by Loretta Divine, another actress famous for this role). Granted, the way the racist policeman treated her, this wasn't "sassyness" so much as perfectly reasonable behavior. However, even the most enlightened viewer couldn't help but wince at the name "Shaniqua Johnson". | |

The Jeffersons: Florence Johnston (Marla Gibbs), who was outspoken and not afraid to speak her mind ... especially to her boss, George. Much of the humor came from the chemistry between Sherman Hemsley and Gibbs. To a lesser extent, Louise (Isabel Sanford) also stood her ground, particularly to George. | |

Ghostbusters (2016): The trailers suggest Patty Tolan (played by comedian Leslie Jones) is one of these. This didn't go down too well — the Unfortunate Implications of having the three white actors play highly qualified scientists and making the sole Black character this lazy stereotype caused a backlash before the film was even released. Thankfully, it turned out to be an example of Never Trust a Trailer. Patty isn't much snarkier than the other characters, and her encyclopedic knowledge of New York landmarks is invaluable when ghosts are running around, allowing her to become the Ghostbusters' resident Haunted House Historian. | |

Loretta Brown, Cleveland's deceased ex-wife on Family Guy. Also used for comedic effect in some of their one-shot bits. Peter even got into it at one point. Especially towards the end of her run on the show, Loretta often came across as more "bitchy" or "surly" than "sassy". Donna (Tubbs) Brown, Cleveland's new wife on The Cleveland Show, is a considerably better fit. (Donna's daughter Roberta also fits the trope sometimes, but not always.) Donna justifies her behaviour, explaining that the circumstances of her life made this an inevitability. | |

Two episodes of Frasier feature "Dr." Mary Thomas, initially hired as a part-time producer for Frasier's own show but whose witty interruptions, humorous asides and home-spun wisdom quickly come to dominate his show. Much mileage is wrought from Frasier's procrastination over putting a stop to this as he's terrified of being thought of as racist. Interestingly, off the air, she is perky and polite, so this is likely a persona she puts on to make the show more interesting (her "home-spun wisdom" is made up on the spot, and attributed to elderly relatives who don't exist). | |

High Fidelity: Cherise embodies this. She's black, loud, outspoken and very forward, to the point of telling strangers off quite frequently. | |

Big Biz from We Can Be Heroes! (Steven Universe) is the Gem equivalent to one, albeit far more of a cool-headed Deadpan Snarker than outright fiery and sassy. She does have her moments though, usually when her Berserk Button regarding the lives lost in the Homeworld/Nova Veluti war is pressed. | |

Gravity Falls magically juxtaposes 70-year-old Grunkle Stan with the voice of one of these for a gag. Hilarity Ensues. | |

Roz of Night Court partially subverted this, being, basically the Scary Black Woman. She was more of a Deadpan Snarker, but could be quite sensitive and shy compared to Cloudcuckoolander Bull. | |
