Pootie Tang is a 2001 comedy film directed by Louis C.K. and starring Lance Crouther in the titular role. The film follows the life of Pootie Tang, who was orphaned as a child and raised by his father, who bequeathed to him a magical belt that gave him immense powers and made him a revered figure in the community.
As an adult, Pootie Tang's fame reaches even greater heights when he becomes a successful musician, known for his hit single "Sine Your Pitty on the Runny Kine." However, his success attracts the attention of Corporate America, who try to lure him into endorsing their addictive products and selling out to their capitalist values.
Pootie Tang, true to his roots, refuses to compromise his values and continues to use his powers to fight against the forces of evil. He enlists the help of his friends, including Biggie Shorty (played by Wanda Sykes) and Dirty Dee (played by Chris Rock), to take down the corrupt business leaders and secure a better future for the underprivileged communities of America.
The film was inspired by a series of comedy sketches created by Louis C.K. for The Chris Rock Show. Although it received mixed reviews upon its release, Pootie Tang has since gained a cult following and is recognized as a unique and entertaining piece of satire that skewers the excesses of corporate culture and celebrates the resilience and creativity of urban communities.
