Pootie Tang's Unique Linguistic Expression
Pootie Tang Camietowns a biddie; wapatah to the bammies on the Pannie Stai! Cigarettes/Fast food = Netatai Baddy!" - an example of Pootie Tang's idiosyncratic speech offered early in the film. A PSA ad aimed at children is so effective, it launches the plot. Corporate America - embodied in Dave Atell, and "Lecter Corp." - attempts to seize Pootie's voice (20,000,000 USD is offered) which Pootie refuses on moral grounds ("That's a canapan to the semachai") with a "nay-no" ]. Pootie refuses to "wah-da-tah to the shama cow", interpreted generally as Pootie will not succumb to any corporation's will . Irene "Hoochie Ma Chicken Head" is unleashed by Lecter Corp. to seek Pootie and steal his "magic" belt. In the tradition the solitary hero - Odysseus, Cuchulainn, and so on - Pootie has friends, not be relied on for sustenance, but friends nevertheless. Wanda Sykes plays one such friend - the classic "hooker with the heart of gold" who isn't actually a hooker - who hosts parties not even "air can get into" without an invitation.
