They Cloned Tyrone was a fun and hilarious movie. I was thoroughly entertained the whole time but also aware of the true meaning of the clones and what this movie was constantly referencing too. The clones are a metaphor for the ways in which white people maintain the power imbalance by intentionally keeping certain Black people impoverished and oppressed. MAYBE SPOILER: At some point in the movie the "villain" even expressed that the goal was to slowly "white-wash" everyone over generations so everyone is the same and assimilated. I thought this movie was a perfectly done in a way that grabbed people's attention to discuss a real issue but not in a way that scared them away with a serious tone.
