I remember watching “Life” in the movies. By the end, everyone in the theater was laughing except me. I was pissed off, because I know that stuff (wrongful incarceration)happens everyday. I loved the movie, I just didn’t walk out with a big smile on my face.

[@DRob_22]

@@onlyplayaseattacoswiththei9433 I'm aware of that, but "Life" was about two black men wrongly imprisoned. If the topic were "The Shawshank Redemption," I'd delve into that topic. Andy Dufresne got a bad rap and I was happy when he finally made it out. So, if I would've said that, would you have said, "White people aren't the only ones that get out of jail"? That's how you sound. I can't go into other races' homes and talk about their experiences intelligently, but I can talk about mine, as well as many other people that look like me. I understand your point, but you come across like an apologist, and I was coming from the standpoint of how *I* felt.

[@DRob_22]

@@onlyplayaseattacoswiththei9433 Listen Junior, just so you know, my dad's mom, or my grandmother, is white. And she couldn't even go to her dad's funeral, because his "real family" thought it'd make him look bad. Plus my dad looks white, until you get close up to him. But that's neither here nor there. *SPOILER* So don't give me that cry for sympathy on a topic in which you interjected yourself, as well as your own preconceived notions. Tell me where I said "this only happens to us," and I'll apologize *right now.* I'm waiting... If the movie talked about mixed race kids, I may have divulged that information beforehand, but as it dealt with two black men set up by a racist cop and crooked judicial system, I decided to stay on topic. I'll debate you, ad nauseum, if you like, but it sounds like we both have something in common, at least familial, but mentally, we couldn't be much further apart. And once again, I was talking about how ***I*** felt. Not the entire black population of men, so why don't you go back and read what I initially said and respect that my opinions are my own, unless I preface them differently.

Only problem was it was an all black cast and they weren't portrayed as inner city, poor, or troubled. So white people viewed it as 'unrealistic'. Boomerang is a fantastic movie.

"Eddie Murphy is funny again" when was he not though? Eddie was like my entire childhood, h'es fucking amazing. I didnt even know people considered him in a negative way until this video lmao

[@101falcon]

Same I've watched and rewatch almost every single one of his movies more times than I can count and while they were some off the mark ones each one had humor some much better than others but you can still laugh at even his worsts. For an example in this video due to the clip choices and commentary it's obvious the narrator thinks of Norbit as one of his worse movies and I don't see it. I've been winded from laughter and that's probably the Murphy movie I've rewatched the most. Is it the best, maybe not but that's only my opinion but it's in no way one of his 'worsts' and it only gets better the older I get. Having humor a child and an adult can both laugh at for 2 different reasons is a gift in itself. Then again this is only my opinion and this video was his (although I don't believe all the movies mentioned probably got fair critics as they weren't experienced or are relying on memory which is usually rose tinted but it wouldn't be possible to be objective (or practical) watching them back to back)

It’s the other way around, he is always good even in a bad movie. I came to this conclusion watching this video... every bad movie mentioned here I thought “but Eddie was great” in at least some parts.

@@monkeyman2407 That's not what selective means at all. It means he won't just take any role that he's offered and instead chooses very carefully which movies he wants to be in.

[@alanvallazza9781]

He's done a lot since 1996 but some of it was not well recieved but he still did well. Showtime, Dr. Dolittle, Daddy Day Care, The Haunted Mansion, Dreamgirls, I Spy, Adventures of Pluto Nash, Norbit, Meet Dave, Imagine That, Tower Heist, Mr. Church, A Thousand Words, Vampire In Brooklyn, Metro, Holyman, Life, Bowfinger, Nutty Professor II, The PJs, and Dolemite Is My Name.

[@abyss104]

Mr Church was dope too.

[@krazyvidzkrazy3208]

Life was forgettable? Erase you from my feed instantly!!did you personally watch any of these movies? No then how are you reviewing them?

[@williamlau8291]

When he made “Metro” in the 90s, he was trying to get into the same territory as Wesley Snipes who was really popular at the time.

[@theshadowman1398]

I absolutely love Beverly Hills cop 3 and have zero problems with another 48 hours. Daddy day care was also nice

[@General_reader]

The narration of this film is different... Not a fan ....

[@cosmiccollector7586]

Quirky and annoying

[@pjincho]

Someone trying REAL hard to nail comedic timing.... and failing.

[@DBSG1976]

I love that you recommend "Bowfinger", truly a classic.

[@ukrays7668]

Can’t believe he said life was garbage 👀 Life is a absolute classic. One of my favs. Eddies is the goat of comedy!

[@ScruFaceJeanOfficial]

Did he just say LIFE was forgettable?

[@cloudstrife206]

Personally I’m a massive fan of Eddie Murphy

[@dennis123997]

I think norbit was hilarious, I remember watching that as a kid and every few years I watch it and still laugh so hard. In today's culture it'd be pretty offensive tho.

[@Finwaell]

who gives a crap about "today's culture".

[@antoninozunino7570]

@Luke Mills yeah they all a bunch of leftist beta cucks. Are you one?

[@onza1317]

Yep

[@mutt9779]

That's because we have no culture today loll The closest we get to "CuLtUrE" is remaking old shit, with the most close minded perspective possible, while catering to the absolute bottom of the fucking barrel while patting ourselves on the back.

[@strauqq1]

Nah, I'm ghetto and silly, but even I had to draw the line on that movie lol

[@creativerealms]

In 2019 we got a great Eddie Murphy movie and a great Adam Sandler movie. Not something I ever expected.

[@JoBloOriginals]

What is going on????

[@joshuapatrick682]

Delirious is still my favorite stand up of all time!

[@drparadox7833]

I remember loving Eddie Murphy's movies. Once in my childhood a TV Channel played all of his movies for a week straight and I loved every second of it.

[@Whiterabbitdigital]

Do a “WTF Happened to Adam Sandler”

[@Michael-go3it]

Kim Jong-Un he still makes movies ?

[@Whiterabbitdigital]

Michaels Music You don’t even have to read all of this Looper article to see that I am right.. www.looper.com/17788/real-reason-adam-sandlers-career-falling-apart/

[@AdamLue]

so you want him to get a bunch of stuff wrong about another legend in the comedy game? He was straight hating here.

[@PlumbPitiful]

All of Sandlers movies go straight to Netflix now. That's not a sign of failure. He has a multi picture multi million dollar deal with them.

[@a.t.hustle1583]

He just dropped a movie last year Mr. Supreme Leader.

[@Plagueis313]

You know black folk got a whole different standard. Like the golden child. I and my family quote that movie till this day. And don't let me talk about harlem night......all mf day.

[@anubrakahn2970]

42 year old white dude here. When me and my brother were kids, Golden Child and Harlem Nights were our favorite movies. We would sneak viewings in on the weekends when our parents were asleep. We too, quote Golden Child till this day.

[@jjryan1352]

These comments giving me the feels....black dude named Will and white dude named Anubra.

[@andrecash9471]

I still quote this movie all the time

[@bluhevenlyII]

I think it's just this guy's opinion in the video. He doesn't represent me. I love those movies.

[@ghostflxwer]

@@anubrakahn2970 the strangest thing is that nobody asked

[@soundbombin23]

Boomerang is a movie that can still hold up today...

[@Toni185]

Glad he's back again, and "I Spy" did not suck. One of my favorite comedies

[@spikonn]

I actually liked Norbit movie, one of my favs. The movie is not for those who do not have sense of humor.

[@laceye3485]

I don't really know if it's about having a sense of humor as it's more of having a particular sense of humor. You have to like and appreciate that style of comedy. It's why Adam Sandler's comedies aren't doing as well anymore..well, that and they're just bad lol.

[@scottywalsh9826]

No. It's sh*t plain and simple.

[@AamuAurora]

Party all the Time is a coke fueled masterpiece.

[@papnlilly]

🤣🤣

[@fatmooselips3110]

😂

[@took_err_jerbs1568]

Bro what? You had me up until the movie Life. That’s one of his most UNforgettable movies ever.

[@shainewhite2781]

6:40, that was incredible that he played 7 different people throughout this movie!🤣🤣🤣

[@diegofantin6012]

Man, this channel is like a guide to a cementery of Hollywood stars.

[@ernestocaro9802]

"It was so bad that only Cuba Gooding Jr would do. the sequel" damn HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA

[@countys32]

Eddie was always funny nothing happened to him. There I saved you 20 minutes, you're welcome.

[@leejohnstone3051]

And he gives transvestite prositutes a lift home because he's that much of a nice guy

[@Scott-ri2ek]

Why is this being ignored He is weird

[@GiancarloFloyd]

How was life mentioned? That was an awesome movie with a cast of legends.

[@DREQON2005]

Here is something I learned in life don’t listen to people Harlem nights is a classic and vampire in Brooklyn is excellent

[@harriehausenman8623]

Oh my. So I ended up in *that* part of youtube again... Next stop: Top Tens of Stuffs. Interesting how strong the reactions to "Life" were. "He had to get the bad ones out of his system" cracked me up. Good one. Anyways, thanks for the entertainment. Still way better than what they used to do in the 20th century. What was it called? Oh yeah: Boredom. Keep on blastin' :-)

[@StrngAzDiamnds]

"Life", "Vampire in Brooklyn", and "Harlem Nights" are cult classics actually. People in 2020 are still referencing these movies

[@JackieLastrada]

I get the feeling this guy Lo-key doesn't like Eddie. Or he's just jealous.

[@thomasc.5219]

Yes... Cause if you don't like something it must mean you are jealous. I haven't been able to stand Eddie past like Coming to America. So like late 80s early 90s era of him.

[@JackieLastrada]

@@thomasc.5219 Apparently sir, you must not be familiar with the definition of the word "jealous". It is thus..."feeling or showing envy of someone or their achievements and advantages." I don't think he said he "didn't Like Eddie. Why would he spend so much time talking about someone he "didn't like".

[@Th3Pr0digalS0n]

Norbit, daddy day care,pluto nash, showtime all hiilarious

[@BIGwillTHEGAME]

He's one of my favorite comedians.

[@paulhunter6742]

You have give Eddie Murphy credit for realizing that have be extremely selective about film roles in future. We love you, Eddie, PLEASE don't suck anymore.

[@doctorlolchicken7478]

I feel that I have to point out that Life was an excellent movie. I’m sure you and everyone else missed that. Seriously, I don’t think many of Eddie’s movies are that bad. His films suffer because people expect him to do the same thing over and over, because a black comedian cannot possibly have any range. He also does movies aimed at different demographics, and many people who think a movie was bad need to consider whether it was really aimed at them. I freely admit I didn’t like the donkey in Shrek, but then I tell myself it’s a family film and the character definitely worked. Eddie might be back, but I don’t think he really went away.

[@aaron1182]

Golden child was one of my favorite movies a long time ago. I haven't seen them in years but i preferred Another 48 hours over the first one. Must re-watch them now that I'm old and my taste would have matured.

[@sifiska]

Eddie Murphy is the greatest character actor of his generation. Easily.

[@thomasc.5219]

Nah

[@MIrroooo]

Thomas C. You’ve been on so many comments in this thread trying to clown Eddie??? Are you okay??

[@martinrosendahl9134]

Eddie was in some of the movies I've watched the most times - and still watch regularly. I will never get tired of Beverly Hills Cop (including the sequel), 48hrs, The Golden Child & Coming To America. Those movies are just perfect... long live Eddie Murphy (still waitin' to see Sexual Chocolate go on tour)

[@benjaminkirchman3340]

Bro I saw Showtime twice in theaters! That's crazy. I am 32. That's funny you say that. And Bowfinger is a MASTERPIECE
