Really, Eddie Murphy, Really?
By Mike | March 28, 2008
Let’s get the important stuff out of the way first. I watched this video nine times in a row today at work and laughed my balls off each time.
Okay, now down to business.
Can we all agree that Eddie Murphy starred in some of the funniest movies of the 1980’s? 48 Hrs., Trading Places, Beverly Hills Cop, Golden Child, Coming To America, Eddie Murphy Raw, and let’s not forget about his stretch on SNL. You can disagree with me if you want but then I would take you off of my Kwanzaa card list. So, let us, just for the sake of argument, say that he did in fact star in some of the funniest movies of the 80’s. I loved each and every one of these movies. In fact, I still do.
Then came the 90’s and for no apparent reason he went from being in some of the best movies to the absolute worst. Sure, Nutty Professor is the one exception. But one good one movie out of twenty really bad ones? I didn’t finish the 3rd grade but even I know that percentage is pretty fucking bad.
I’d pretty much given up hope on Eddie Murphy until I saw Dream Girls. This movie wasn’t really made for my demographic but it wasn’t bad and Eddie Murphy was really good in it. He even got nominated for an Oscar for best supporting actor. I had hoped that this would be a turning point in his career and we would see him take some more serious roles or at least ones that weren’t as shitty (The Adventures of Pluto Nash anyone).
Well, I just saw the trailer for his latest craptastic movie, Meet Dave, and I feel like I just got kicked in the balls. I’m pretty sure that he’s just fucking with me now. He either picks movie roles based solely on how much I will hate them or all that special effects makeup and fat suits have completely ruined his ability to tell good movie scripts from bad ones.
Eddie Murphy has kicked me in the balls via his shitty movies for the last time. Eddie, if you’re reading this (and I know you are) I just want you to know that you’re dead to me now. DEAD!
