MADtv Recurring Characters - Bunifa Latifah Halifah Sharifa Jackson

Bunifa Latifah Halifah Sharifa Jackson (Debra Wilson) is a meter maid from Hawthorne, California, who makes extensive use of ebonics when speaking. She is typically arrogant, rude, and insensitive. Bunifa often labels other characters' commonplace, expected actions (such as an airport security guard screening her) as being motivated by racism. She often rapidly shifts moods at mild stimuli for comedic effect, aggressively arguing with characters one moment, then talking daintily with them seconds afterward. She frequently is seen on her mobile phone talking to her friend Sonya, who is never seen.

She meets her match in Miss Katisha Latisha Parisha Farisha Johnson (guest star Tyra Banks) who is the manager of a fashion store. They initially quarrel, but in the end become friends and go out to have a drink.

    It is a well-settled principle of the international code that where one nation owes another a liquidated debt which it refuses or neglects to pay the aggrieved party may seize on the property belonging to the other, its citizens or subjects, sufficient to pay the debt without giving just cause of war.
