- The class is loaded: Joey Pants, Imperioli as Jojo with the 'you're selling tires' exchange, the liquor store guy, and John Salley, whose standing up is a sight gag.
- Max gets the award: her death hurts every time, and Will Smith is attached to her while juggling many women.
- Chet the doorman is in the conversation but is not the pick.
- Pick: Jojo, the Imperioli character, a dopey informant played by a young actor with great things ahead; Chet was hysterical too, but it goes to Jojo. — Van Lathan
- The only answer is the captain, who is in about three scenes and kills it every time with the 'you are Mike Lowry... you be you, but not in front of her' routine.
- The captain is felt to be better in the next movie and a bit muted here, though his Michael Jordan reference is a buzzer-beater and no one but Martin goes at Will like he does.
- The captain is conceded as the correct answer, yet Max remains a personal pick; an objection says this is the Dion Waiters Award, not a DJ Banga Award, and the reply is about being as upset as Will Smith every time Max dies.
