in which Lee referred to Perry's films as "coonery buffoonery". Lee equated the Madea movies with the old-time minstrel shows which lampooned black people as dim-witted, lazy, buffoonish, superstitious and happy-go-lucky, and further stated that if a white director made a movie depicting black people in such a manner he would be ostracised. Perry responded by stating that his films were meant as entertainment and should not be taken so seriously, saying, "I am sick of him talking about me.

In early December 2012, Madea was parodied on a Saturday Night Live episode by the episode's host Jamie Foxx. In the episode Funnybot from Season 15 of South Park, Perry (voiced by Trey Parker) played his character Madea after being repeatedly paid by Tolkien Black after every joke, and was trapped in a metallic shell by the Americans and
