Unfortunately it was quite common.

Not even that long ago..

This weekend the girlfriend and I were feeling nostalgic and decided to watch The Master of Disguise with Dana Carvey. Even putting aside the really jarring brown face scene (From a family movie from 2002) it did not age well..

In the theme of this thread, Saturday I learned that movie has a 1% on Rotten Tomatoes.
