Eddie Murphy On Michael Jackson. Tito Get Me Some Tissue.

So here's the classic Eddie Murphy bit about Michael Jackson. I saw him in Upper Darby on this tour at the Tower Theater back in the day.

It was hysterical.



Tito get me some tissue. Jermaine stop teasing.

    I always knew Eddie Murphy could sing, but, d*mn, I can't believe how he nailed MJ's voice. Incredible.

    That was funny but his outfit reminded me of your video of Sammy Davis Jr. for some reason.

    I didn't watch any of the funeral so that video was just perfect for me.

    Eddie Murphy was so good at stand-up. I'm glad he didn't self-destruct like Richard Pryor.

    As a white boy, I like Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie, and numerous other black entertainers that sang tribute at his funeral...Hell, I even have "Thriller" on a cassette somewhere! I just guess I was bothered by the commercialism, and racist tone set by the fact that few white people were asked to sing, speak, or participate- unless they had bought a ticket... Opinions and Rectums strikes again!

    LOL to buffalodick!!!

    I don't know how funny he was in this piece of comedy. But, his red leather outfit was rocking me back to the '80s.

    I would have rather had Eddie self-destruct than have see him in Imagine That and Daddy Day Care! To this day I ramdomly scream out: Eddie I want HALF!

    Whatever happened to Eddie Murphy?
    Eddie! The family friendly/shitty movies aren't cutting it! Kiss and make up with your old Saturday Night Live pals and let's get back to business.

    Sigh, he probably toned his comedy down for his kids sake :(

    The crying is the best part. I wonder if MJ was that heart-broken when his star-crossed romance with Debbie Rowe ended?

    This was a classic Eddie Murphy show! My husband and I still quote lines from it, 20 years later. When we heard of his death, we both said, at nearly the exact same moment, "Tito, get me some tissue." LOL. Thanks for posting it.

    Life...EXAGGERATED
