Family-friendly despite its wit, with universal humor.
Soul Plane:
A raunchy, urban comedy celebrating Black culture, with over-the-top stereotypes and hip-hop flair.
Focuses on crude jokes, sexual innuendo, and exaggerated scenarios (e.g., a purple plane with rims, a stripper pole).
Targets a niche audience familiar with early 2000s Black pop culture.
