British Couple Reacts to Charlie Murphy’s True Hollywood Stories: Rick James - Chappelle’s Show

[@simontemplar3359]

Charlie Murphy (RIP) was one of the funniest story tellers ever. See everything he is in. You won't regret it!

[@OMGtheykilledKenny42]

I didn't know it at the time, but he was the taxi driver in Night at the Museum (2006)!

[@tomking7080]

Charlie was the best. If you look up Charlie Murphy True Hollywood stories there is one that is a couple hours and it’s uncensored stories that are hilarious. There is one about a hotdog stand outside of a club in LA which is hilarious

[@Naruto0s44]

Rip

[@henny1356]

He is dead?😢

[@chattykat6705]

Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories were epic and the only disappointment is that they weren't able to make more. RIP Charlie Murphy, Rick James and Prince.

[@kyles5513]

Agree.

[@chrisjarvis2287]

This was only half of the actual skit, there's a part 2. Rick James is one of my top 5 favorite R&B / Funk singers.

[@shadowmac20004]

Yeah when he slapped his head of the bar table

[@grunntalll]

why is the other half not included in the official video?

[@rashadwalker8218]

The look on Millie's face..... priceless lol

[@shadowmac20004]

She looks confused and disturbed and trying to hold in a laugh 😂 Black comedy always makes white people uncomfortable

[@kyles5513]

She looked triggerd a couple times haha

[@92kris]

Looks uncomfortable as shit lol relaxxxxxx

[@lwilliamsj7]

Charlie Murphy’s stories are hilarious. There’s a part 2 of his Rick James stories & he also has a Prince story. He’s Eddie Murphy’s brother so he’s been around celebrities & the entertainment industry a long time. There are interviews of people confirming his stories.

[@sunflower7045]

You know he’s gotta be using some real stories in there. 🤣

[@anthonyramirez9003]

Yeah!!

[@ExUSSailor]

Well, his Prince story was confirmed by Micki Free, who was there for all of it.

[@tHEdANKcRUSADER]

Game! Blouses! 🏀 🥞

[@DaInfamous0ne]

Rip Charlie Murphy 🕊 You made your little brother Eddie proud. From CB4 and beyond. Eddie Murphy been in a lot of movies & SNL but Charlie was a genius in his own right.

[@MrGrifter123]

Rip Rick James

[@himwhoisnottobenamed5427]

RIP Brother Darkness.

[@jamesbutler174]

Eddie Murphy was a huge celeb in the 80's, Charlie is his brother and partied in his entourage meeting the big stars of the day. Rick James is iconic, his music and personality were over the top. Mixing the re-enactments with the actual true stories is hilarious!

[@ΒΞΔΝ]

80s-00s I suppose he still is even if not as prominent as back in the day. They probably know Eddie from one of his many movie roles.

[@anndeecosita3586]

Eddie’s career was still big past the 80s. Dream Girls, Nutty Professor, Shrek, and so on so I’d be surprised if they don’t know who he is. He actually is in a great movie on Netflix called Dolemite is my name.

[@rocdiesel3449]

This was not only true but confirmed by Rick James and others. Charlie Murphy had tons of stories from his early days in Hollywood.

[@jovetj]

This is one of the funniest skits ever!! “Cocaine is a hell of a drug!!”

[@badtwin8953]

This wasn't "random" at all. You two just aren't familiar with that time period when Rick James and Eddie Murphy were two of the biggest stars on Earth. Rick was known for his drug problem and outlandish behavior. They were even dropping song titles in this sketch you no doubt have never even heard. Charlie Murphy's true Hollywood stories are legendary sketches on the legendary Chapelle show.

[@anndeecosita3586]

I think it might be a cultural thing that it comes across as random to you. I laughed my ass off. Rick James was a funk singer known for partying, drugging, flamboyant, hyper sexual and being way over the top. So the fact that he’s confused and contradictory is part of the joke. He even has a song called Mary Jane which on the surface sounds like a long song to a woman but it’s really about marijuana. I bump it all the time and I don’t even smoke. 😂 Rick and Eddie recorded a song together too.

[@markhamiel7407]

Dave Chappelle is so hilarious, mainly because he goes so much further and more edgier than any other comedian. People might t offended, but it is also relatable, and one time or another they might have the same stereotype of another race but were too afraid to admit it, no one is off limits, he goes after everyone, not just one group. It's comedy people, lighten up! If you are offended, quit watching it, why is it people should all feel the way they do, the self-centered, entitled, arrogance of people is what is killing comedy, debate, and encouraging segregation.

[@meot.meo.1097]

The line of "... C'mon! I've got a lil' more sense than that!..." always got me. No matter how much times i watch the skit. Charlie Murphy, Dave Chappelle and Rick James in a collaboration is nothing more than pure perfection! 🤣

[@xdarockstar2560]

It is a true Hollywood story if you knew who Rick James was and Eddie Murphy's brother it was a crazy adventure for those people in history

[@AceManning18]

How you guys are not dying of laughter is one of many mysteries I will never get a satisfactory answer too in life. The first time I saw this I thought I was gonna choke to death legitimately

[@kyles5513]

Funniest show television ever had.

[@teresas8173]

They don’t know who these people are obviously. So they have no context in which to make sense or get just how funny this is.

[@B-902]

You have to watch the rest of the Charlie Murphy stories, the one with Prince is amazing

[@sst3d]

You just don’t understand because it’s way before your time……I appreciate your respect

[@reneerollins4433]

RIP Charlie Murphy and Rick James. Charlie was so funny! Loved him on Chappelle's show!

[@SymGenie]

I went to an Historically Black college. When this came out, smart phones weren't a thing yet, nor was youtube. Minutes after this episode aired, all you heard in the dorm was "I'm rick james bitch!", "f yo couch!" and "darknesses!"

[@ellenjones7819]

Yes, it's a true story, and it's hilarious.

[@riccorich]

I get a kick when Watching people not familiar with certain things it's a good culture shock

[@Do0msday]

This brings back so many memories. Loved watching this because it's so unbelievably random. But as others have said -- part 2 with Prince is the real gem. One of my favorites.

[@dwightpemberton4042]

Everything Charlie said was true confirmed by Eddie himself. R.I.P Charlie and Rick James

[@jacobmarx1994]

Your reaction is just like my reaction first time I watched Little Britain. Like you know it’s funny but like, what is this. Now as an American… so many many many levels of funny. Celebrity, high celebrity, race, wealth…

[@diane9247]

"This was long before Wesley Snipes." 😂

[@NicholasGreen-b6e]

Darknesses lol

[@russellbrown1068]

One of the funniest bits ever!

[@O.G.LIL-MAN]

This is one of the most hilarious sketches from one of America's most beloved comedy shows. This is awesome..and Charlie Murphy was actor Eddie Murphy's brother. Btw, the stuff said in this skit are still popular catchphrase in America to this day (like 'Im Rick James b****'?!). Watch the one about the singer Prince ...hilarious X 5

[@bryannorris7924]

Definitely a true story. Charlie was Eddie Murphy’s brother and got to hang out with the elites. They ended up being great friends and Charlie Murphy was a pallbearer at Rick James funeral.

[@hopejanette]

It breaks my heart that yall aren't laughing 😂 this came out when I was in high school and everyone quoted it all the time. One of the best skits on the show

[@nyarlathotep616]

And it ruined the Chappelle show

[@lex_C_88]

Rick was so strung out he would forget things seconds later rip

[@horseshoe2blah201]

The story behind the "Charlie Murphy True Hollywood stories" is this. Charlie Murphy, who is Eddie Murphy's brother, came to Hollywood back in the 80's with his brother Eddie. Charlie was a regular cast member of the Chappelle show and at lunch, Charlie would tell these great stories about Hollywood back in the day. The stories were so funny, Dave Chappelle made them into some skits.

[@coryh8888]

good one to with charlie murphy is called 'i want more'

[@brettaxelson6163]

"I'm Rick James.........!!!" Nuff said!!

[@michaelconway221]

Lol you guys have stumbled onto early 2000s gold

[@anthonyzarate9807]

What is so crazy about this "skit" is that 95% of it is factual reality...same with Dave's Prince skits!!! Trust me, I have seen so many famous Hollywood musicians, comedians, actors, etc...say how much that these skits were close to what actually happened!!! P.S. If you grew up watching Rick James and Prince, these skits would make you pee your pants, especially when you realize how accurate they truly are!!!

[@waynecoleman-ou9te]

This is funny because it actually happened. They say truth is stranger than fiction.

[@megavideopowermegavideopow8657]

That’s comedian Eddie Murphy brother Charlie Murphy telling stories about hanging out with his famous celebrity brother

[@borisbalkan707]

A classic Dave Chapelle segment. There he is, at the end, Clayton Bigsby, begging you to react to him!

Rick and Eddie recorded a song together called Party All The Time. That was a jam as a little kid. 😂
