So when did it become cool to make fun of Tito

Serious question, why is Tito Jackson the butt of all Jackson jokes? When did this start, back in the early '90s or even farther back like to the '70s? Is it because of his name or something, what is it?

prettymansson	when michaels career blew up to unprecedented proportions & someone as un important to the industry as TITO was his blood relative and also in the business.

Or better yet. The Chris Tucker routine where Micheal & Tito are riding the strip looking for women of the night.

ThreadBare	Dude's name is Tito. What do you expect? He could only be either a punchline or a dictator.

And he wore that flashy shirt....."TITO" on some of the Victory tour dates.
It was like the Vegas version of Michael's Motown 25 outfit.

Beyond that, I don't think he should be the butt of any jokes. His kids 3T turned out very good musicians and from what I've read (and heard), very good kids/adults. That is what counts..not Chris Tucker and Eddie crackin jokes about him. Funny jokes though. razz

He was always the most attractive one in my opinion. When I'd see all 5 of them on stage, he would be the one I had my eye on. And I must say, my opinion still stands today.

Tito is actually his nickname, likewise Jackie is a nick name too. Their real names are quite weird sounding.

And I don't think Tito is unattractive, he ain't even that chubby either, it's just that when you compared him to his brothers back in the day, they were just so much thinner. I mean when you use to see Michael, Jackie and Marlon up front it was all hair and legs with them.

In most cases, the industry are always hating on big people. disbelief
