a Date with Deante
HALL OF FAME


TONY TRAIN WRECK

First appearance: March 18, 2009 "Attack of the Train Wrecks," Season 2 (Total Appearances: 13)

The ultimate in despicable and hilarious vagrancy, Tony Train Wreck debuted early in Season 2 and has become an iconic figure in the history of a Date with Deante. His appearances usually follow the same formula; he stumbles drunkenly into Deante's presence. Then, he proceeds to unleash a torrent of ignorant and arrogant racist terms (while Young films the "wreckage") and insults both at Deante, and the Black race itself. At some point, Tony Train Wreck manages to fall down a flight of steps en route to "take a leak" as his excessive beer intake overcomes his vertical balance. Made more hilarious is the fact that he is himself an embarrassment, not because he's a homeless alcoholic, but because he actually takes great joy in his own searing belligerence and jaw-dropping ignorance.
