The Wayans Bros. is a 90s sitcom primarily focused on comedic situations, character-driven humor, and the everyday lives of two brothers, consciously avoiding overt political themes or ideological stances, thus remaining apolitical.
The series showcases significant diversity through its predominantly Black cast and focus on Black American culture. However, its narrative primarily functions as a situational comedy, not explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its storytelling.
The Wayans Bros. frequently uses LGBTQ+ themes for comedic effect, often relying on harmful stereotypes and exaggerated portrayals.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
