to anyone who hasn't seen the wire: yes it is worth the 60+ hours needed to truly understand how fucking hilarious this is.

I’m here to smile because we will all miss you. RIP Michael. Someone tell Heaven that Omar coming

Fitting "There are complex problems inherent in the bureaucratic institutions of the state, but there's no one to blame; it's a vast array of personal interests that conflict in a way that undermines the overall system" into an academic paper is one of my best moments. RIP Michael K Williams

Wow. 11 years ago in 2012 they got- Snoop in a dress was crazy. So many original actors were free to do this. INSANE.

Feel like snoop is open to more things than we actually think she is. I always find her so cute in a dress. She did this in that last indie movie she did.

Proves to me that the reason Michael Kenneth Williams is so good is that he's also an amazing comic actor.

@ 2:19 "experience the Wire's realistic portrayal of America's decaying inner cities" as a dude gyrates while doing the splits has to be the funniest bit of this video.

Michael Kenneth Williams is the best actor on TV.

I can never look at Omar again with out picturing that dance.

Dont know how tf, I'm only seeing this now 🤣🤣🤣🤣. R.I.P Michael K Williams, Legend 👑🖤

"I hate forty degree days." Hahahahahahahahaha

I would straight up watch this for real!!!

"Cindarellah Buuuulllshiiiit" Hahaha brilliant

How am I just now seeing this like how.

2:04 never in my life would I have imagined

Great work Funny or Die. It's not often I smile and laugh through a whole video on youtube.

the wire is the best show ever and the snoop-part was so unbelievably funny. maybe the funniest thing i have seen on youtube for a year or so. very well done.

The guy on the floor at 2:20 hahahaha

Even Dukie is in this! this is just too amazing

It's the most critically acclaimed show to ever be on TV and widely regarded as the best ever, so it gets the recognition. It didn't get any awards though b/c it wasn't doing huge viewer numbers and the awards shows are mostly popularity contests...

Good-night, sweet prince; And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

I JUST started watching the Wire and this is awesome

If you're wondering, yes you should watch The Wire. Then come back and watch this to get all the inside jokes.

this absolutely fantastic

man, i want a full soundtrack of this

Just finished the series today. Oh man... I am so happy this exists. Omar's death cry. I want to meet these geniuses and shake their hands.

That was one of the greatest things I've ever watched lol

Best Funny or Die ever made.

This is necessary for everyone to watch as soon as they finish The Wire

awesome, how was this not more viral

It's all in the game!

Best show ever.

This is actually the best thing on the internet.

God I love this show

This is awesome.

This is golden 😁

Nice subtlety with background props, like the Bubbs depo, and Obama's picture above Omar during court

10 OUT OF 10

OMG THIS IS AWESOME

The greatest musical ever!

There was already a show like this called Cop Rock.

This funny as hell

I found it the same way. this needs to get out there. this skit is brilliant.

So funny -- and who knew Larry Gilliard had such a lovely voice.

Carcetti as Mcnulty is fucking brilliant

This is amazing! 🤣🤣🤣

holy shit everything about this is perfect... I love it

RIP a real one

The fact that they went the extra mile and got Kima, Bubs, D'angelo and Omar to play this was brilliant

still the best damn show ever

That was great!

this seriously made my day! lol

The D'angelo bit! XD

This is the best

I just saw the wire earlier this year and this was amazing! I would pay to see this irony and all. :p

Faison as String.... Priceless. XD

The only musical I'd watch.

It's clear from this trailer that the musical producers didn't even like season 2!
