Snoop Dogg casually posted something viral, sending the internet into a tide of nostalgia. The legendary rapper posted a clip, commenting, “We found Mr Parker 🎥🎥🐾👍🏾,” referring to the actor Tony Cox, who is best known for appearances in ‘Friday’ and ‘Bad Santa.’ Boy, people really had a LOT to say.

First, all the love. Another one was: “Wow such a sweet and brilliant Actor. So nice to see him.” Someone else added, “Glad to still see him still holding it down for himself.” The comments started pouring in regarding Cox’s career and praising his legendary acting: “He was so dope in Bad Santa! Oh and that Jim Carrey movie too!,” said one, possibly referring to ‘Me, Myself & Irene,’ in which Cox had quite a memorable role.
Well, as you would expect, the remain part of the internet reaction was far from warm. Another critic said, “Why y’all filming that man like that? Get a job and some business,” which sparked a long, semi-anonymous antagonizing half-hour in replies, some agreeing about “this might be their job” while others were saying things like, “they have no life n we all know snoop don’t run this page.” Classic chaos.
Someone observed: “Got his car license on blast not cool,” leading to a voluminous privacy debate. Someone else went, “Bro looking like plus tax and shi,” here emphasizing in a self-explanatory way.
Nostalgia went over the edge when someone screamed, “That’s Mr. Parker from Friday!” That kicked off a hilarious thread about Cox being Charlie’s kid’s real dad in ‘Me, Myself & Irene,’ with one person mentioning “oh she’ll be eating blubber alright, just as soon as I free Willy.” Random? Absolutely. Funny? Indubitably.
Miscellaneous comments were just pure admiration for Cox and his longevity. “I’m glad to see OG still striving and thriving out’chea,” one mention goes, while another one appreciated, “The fact that he 2ft tall and is in better shape then most of yall is krazy work lol.” (Although it led into a grammar debate, because sometimes the Internet just can’t waltz past without calling attention to something.)
Not to mention all the weird but iconic references. Someone quoted Cox’s famous ‘Friday’ line, ‘”Baby we was just playin!”‘, and the replies were nothing but rofl emojis. Because that line honestly institutes our minds.
A summary would see all the love, a bit of laughter, and just a teaspoon of complete internet absurdity. The talk, whether about Cox’s hits or about the subject of the ethics of filming people without permission, or maybe just internet nonsense, showed one thing alone: Tony Cox’s spotlight still shines bright, and not even a casual Instagram clip can hide that.

And Snoop? Well, he just reminded everyone why he is the absolute king of releasing content for the people to talk about. Even if it’s just a simple “We found Mr Parker,” it got the internet into a frenzy. Mission accomplished.
