Nice try.

Because it's such a skeevy term! That's what made it funny!

If he'd called her Honey or Sweetie it wouldnt have had that yeesh quality, if you remember their personalities at all.

If you dont see why "Brown Sugar" is funnier than "Sweetie" in this context I cant explain.

So it's acceptable to use racial slurs if they're funny?
