  • knowlsey, on 07/11/2008, -8/+135Good grief. The trailer was enough to put me off. I may consider watching if they pay me enough money :)
    • crestfall, on 07/13/2008, -2/+4that moving sign was a bad idea. i feel sick
    • Sil369, on 07/13/2008, -2/+15wth i got sick of this 'video' 15 seconds in
    • staffell, on 07/13/2008, -2/+8worst trailer I've ever seen. i've never seen so any unlikeable characters in one place before....well except in a pussycat dolls video
    • Equinox2012, on 07/13/2008, -0/+6SEXUAL CHOCOLATE!!
    • GuacamoleSan, on 07/13/2008, -1/+5That Rush Hour 2 joke was a low blow
    • DaveClarkOne, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1I laughed more at the trailer than I have at the last 5 Eddie Murphy movies (under nitrous oxide too).
    • burnin8r28, on 07/13/2008, -1/+2eddie murphy would pay to see it. so would eddie murphy.
    • CanIGetAWitness, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1Am I the only one that sees all the sarcasm in this clip?

      "When are we getting paid?"
  • wenfri, on 07/11/2008, -20/+11Since I very rarely watch TV and no theaters around here can't say as I would go out of my way to do so.

    But then again stranger things have happened
  • KiSA, on 07/11/2008, -9/+194Honestly, what was the last good movie that Eddie Murphy has done?
    • B08ama, on 07/13/2008, -10/+249Eddie Muphie played Donkey in "Shrek" pretty well, I thought.
      • almondfilter3, on 07/13/2008, -3/+31Yeah, but that wasn't really an "Eddie Murphy starrer"

        Third billing on a CG doesn't count in the Eddie Murphy Sucks game.
      • bhavinp, on 07/13/2008, -4/+6He was the best character in shrek IMO
      • tas08, on 07/13/2008, -1/+50He does make a good ass.
      • Tahiri, on 07/13/2008, -1/+5Comes with experience
      • Chompy, on 07/13/2008, -0/+15Dreamgirls, probably. Before that, I think you have to go back to 1984.
      • TheTaoOfBill, on 07/13/2008, -0/+3I hear dreamgirls was good. Before that Nutty Professor 1 was okay then Coming to America was pretty awesome.

        Personally I think Charlie Murphy is 10 times funnier than his brother Eddie.
    • illt, on 07/13/2008, -8/+49dreamgirls
    • crestfall, on 07/13/2008, -8/+1Delerious
    • johnbonham1, on 07/13/2008, -3/+32trading places
    • shanemeh, on 07/13/2008, -3/+151Coming to America?
      • duffy89, on 07/13/2008, -0/+3Is amazing
      • TriplePlay2425, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1Quite amazing indeed. And is the correct answer, because it was after Trading Places, which was also awesome.

        Trading Places -> Beverly Hills Cop -> Coming to America. But Coming to America > Trading Places > Beverly Hills Cop.
    • shadekeiko, on 07/13/2008, -6/+6Dreamgirls apparently. Though I can't say I was a big fan of it.
    • cualcrees, on 07/13/2008, -8/+69Bowfinger
      • c010rb1indusa, on 07/13/2008, -0/+12Bowfinger was hilarious! A very underrated movie IMO.
      • Dr00pieS, on 07/13/2008, -1/+1I just pee'd two drops.
    • johnroth, on 07/13/2008, -4/+90***** Beverly Hills Cop!
    • scalded, on 07/13/2008, -16/+107That movie where he's a street-smart black guy injected into a culture of dorky upper-middle class white people and must save the city with help from a naive and uptight white guy, all while portraying several different personalities and voices. I forget the name of it.

      Was it "Every Movie He's Ever Done"?
      • twishart, on 07/13/2008, -10/+4So you're a... big Eddie Murphy fan?

        I'm not understanding this...
      • pablo82, on 07/13/2008, -9/+23Shrek 1, 2 and 3? No.
        Norbit? No.
        Dream girls? No.
        The Haunted mansion? No.
        Daddy day care? No.
        Nutty Professor, Doctor Dolittle, Harlem nights? No, no, no.
        His best film, 'Coming to America'? NO.

        Yet you have 49 Diggs. *sigh*
      • DanDotOrg, on 07/13/2008, -1/+6No, it's called "every movie him AND Martin Lawrence have ever done"
      • PilotHead, on 07/13/2008, -5/+0@pablo82

        Pulled those out of the bargin bin?
      • im2emo4myshrt, on 07/13/2008, -4/+3@pilotHead

        Seriously who ever watched Shrek
    • drunkirish, on 07/13/2008, -7/+2I'd say it's "Who Dat Ninja?" if you asked me to my face, but I secretly loved "Honky Grandma be Trippin"
    • nayrproductions, on 07/13/2008, -9/+2 The Golden Child hahah...Lets face it, Eddie has made many more bad movies than good ones. Beverly Hills Cop 1 and Coming to America were both great. Everything else ranges from mediocre to pure suckage.
      • ichbeineinrcg, on 07/13/2008, -1/+5Buried for not liking The Golden Child.
      • Spire3660, on 07/13/2008, -0/+3Dude..buried for not including Trading Places.
      • BoonTobias, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2the golden child owns, that chick in that movie was too hot
      • PilotHead, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1Buried for not liking Rush Hour 2...wait a minute...
    • AmericanGunner, on 07/13/2008, -6/+1your point, is proven.
    • tpmidd, on 07/13/2008, -7/+1Norbit, duh.
      • Falsey, on 07/13/2008, -0/+4Sarcasm is a difficult concept for digg users.
    • Naieve, on 07/13/2008, -2/+13I thought that movie where he picked up a transvestite was funny.

      ; )
    • frozen1, on 07/13/2008, -1/+10First beverly hills cop, and the golden child were classics IMHO
      • max4077, on 07/13/2008, -0/+3No, sorry -- I have to stop you right there. The Golden Child singalled the beginning of Murphy's flop-streak. You had a sinking feeling in your gut when you went to see that in the 80's, expecting a smashing Eddie flick, only to be bitterly disappointed.
    • silfiriel, on 07/13/2008, -6/+2I never really liked him...except when he was a Donkey
    • Gillos, on 07/13/2008, -1/+6Beverly Hills Cop
    • bugaloobob, on 07/13/2008, -7/+14Rush Hour 2?
    • tillerman00, on 07/13/2008, -2/+6Golden Child *****!
      • max4077, on 07/13/2008, -1/+1No, sorry -- I have to stop you right there. The Golden Child singalled the beginning of Murphy's flop-streak.
    • PaddyD, on 07/13/2008, -1/+2Rush Hour 2
    • BoonTobias, on 07/13/2008, -0/+3they should kill him off and give charley murphy a chance,
      daaaakness ladies and gentlemen, daaaaknessss is spreading
    • kr3mliyn, on 07/13/2008, -0/+3Bowfinger? Same for Steve Martin also.
    • acephreak, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2Sex with a transsexual
    • elshizzo, on 07/13/2008, -0/+3Just checking imdb, it literally has been ten years since he's been in a good movie [Bowfinger]. It's amazing he still has a career.
  • LightersKnives, on 07/11/2008, -12/+6Exactly what I was thinking when I saw the trailer for this P.O.S. Really funny.
  • AxelRoseFoley, on 07/11/2008, -15/+7As a huge Eddie Murphy fan in the past (look at my username), I still think this video is very well-deserved. And very funny.
    • illt, on 07/13/2008, -1/+38i watched an interview with him recently, and they asked him why he only does cheesey family movies now.

      his response was, now that he's getting old, he can't be a cocky smart-ass like he was in his 20s, because it wouldn't be funny, he'd just be an *****.
      • dagamer34, on 07/13/2008, -0/+11Well, he certainly isn't funny anymore... sadly.
      • halfdirt, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1He's mellowed since having a family perhaps. All of his movies now are for kids or people who can't tolerate swearing
  • 4get2remember, on 07/11/2008, -10/+2Hilarious video...
  • Harrison3o4, on 07/11/2008, -16/+41Eddie Murphy is sooooo lame! I couldn't stop laughing in this video... "Eddie Murphy in Eddie Murphy does sound like a gay porn hahaha!
    • tidu, on 07/13/2008, -3/+22"Usually when there's a man inside of you and you don't know it, it's called rape. But with Eddie Murphy, it's comedy!"
    • LordKaT, on 07/13/2008, -1/+12you should be burned alive for actually saying "sooooo lame."
  • SonnyChiba13, on 07/12/2008, -4/+14I heard Eddie Murphy didn't even show up to the premiere of Meet Dave. After seeing this, I think I know why. Very funny vid... Cracked always finds good *****.
  • AmyVernon, on 07/12/2008, -1/+16it's been quite some time since i've seen a movie starring Eddie Murphy that wasn't crap.
  • BCCStu, on 07/12/2008, -8/+9Laughing my ass off.
  • darkchild82, on 07/12/2008, -5/+31Who Would Actually Pay ME to See the New Eddie Murphy Movie?
  • berrray, on 07/12/2008, -6/+11This movie might be as good as The Haunted Mansion!
    • betheturtle, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1I can't tell if this is sarcasm. Then again, I haven't seen either movie.
      • Cybermaul, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1Either it's sarcasm, or berrray has terribly poor taste in movies.
  • subliminali, on 07/13/2008, -7/+20"this was easily the most tear jerking installment in the 12 part series in death of Eddie Murphy's career"

    haha, remember when Eddie murphy was the funniest man alive? me either, i'm only 23. But I saw 'Raw' on VHS so I had a glimpse of what he once was.
  • PappyChappy, on 07/13/2008, -13/+3This picture is a good example of Eddie latley
    http://chappyreport.blogspot.com/2008/06/with-obam ...
  • ligyron, on 07/13/2008, -17/+5Whatever. Eddie Murphy is known for playing multiple characters in his movies. It's his thing. That's cool that he has a thing. Let him do what he wants. These movies are for the kids anyway. He's a funny guy. We'll remember him for his charismatic personality.
    • almondfilter3, on 07/13/2008, -0/+13If he keeps up this trend of not reading scripts and just accepting roles, he's not gonna be remembered for his 80's (aka good) run.
    • Tahiri, on 07/13/2008, -0/+6"Whatever. Eddie Murphy is known for playing multiple characters in his movies. It's his thing"

      It's called conceit
    • sfcaptainrob, on 07/13/2008, -1/+6We'll remember him? Is he dead? Well, I guess he might as well be.
    • terminal157, on 07/13/2008, -0/+3He could play multiple characters and not suck. The sucking is what people are objecting to, really.
    • halfdirt, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1His movies seem to be aimed and marketed at adults. It would be easier to just ignore him and not make fun of it all if the movies were just for kids.

      These trailers are lame by Ben Stiller and Will Ferrell standards.
  • onlines, on 07/13/2008, -14/+3Is it just me, or does Eddie Murphy seem like the most arrogant actor living in Hollywood? Every movie with Eddie Murphy must star only Eddie Murphy. Imagine being on set, and seeing 5 trailers all with Eddie Murphy's character names on the door. Now that is comedy! This... this is garbage.

    Call Java and collect this garbage.
    • xrisnothing, on 07/13/2008, -2/+4I buried you because anyone that tells a java garbage collection joke needs to die.
      • onlines, on 07/13/2008, -4/+1A simple joke results in wishing that someone should die. And then, to top it off, they get dugg up because other people feel the same way. Thank you, you must proved that digg is dying and therefore, removed from my Reader.
      • xrisnothing, on 07/13/2008, -0/+3Digg died a long time ago, buddy.
      • Acglaphotis, on 07/14/2008, -0/+1And nothing of value was lost...
    • halfdirt, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1Back in the day, a java garbage collection would have propelled you to superstardom.
  • spazzx625, on 07/13/2008, -3/+135White people have names like "Lenny" and black people have names like "Karl"
  • rdldr1, on 07/13/2008, -2/+34Eddie Murphy - slowly killing his career one movie, and one transvestite at a time.
    Charlie Murphy all the way!
  • SilverBlade2k, on 07/13/2008, -3/+22The only movies that Eddie Murphy has been in, within the past decade, which have been good, were Dreamgirls and Shrek. Everything else was landfill material.
    • joemofo214, on 07/13/2008, -1/+2You forgot Life. That movie was ok
    • terminal157, on 07/13/2008, -0/+3Bowfinger is the best movie he's been in in the last decade, in my opinion. It's not well known, though.
  • Jess2mix, on 07/13/2008, -12/+5Not funny. just lame ass comedy. buried
  • CoreyHalliwell, on 07/13/2008, -12/+2Theres nothing wrong with Eddie Murphy. Hollywood just keeps releasing uninspired *****. Quit doggin him. He's a pretty landmark comedian and actor weather you like it or not.
    • bdfariello, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2Or, you know, he could choose to read the script and recognize it for the uninspired horse ***** that it is and refuse the roll instead of diving right in.
  • Gregac, on 07/13/2008, -10/+1... Bush Supporters... well maybe..

    the nutty professor wasn't that bad, won't say it was excellent though..
  • peestandingup, on 07/13/2008, -12/+7Eddie is just cashing in now...period. The seriously last good strictly "Eddie Murphy movie" was Nutty Professor 1.
  • davecor, on 07/13/2008, -2/+260People will be walking out of this movie on airplanes...
    • sfcaptainrob, on 07/13/2008, -1/+8The airlines aren't that sadistic...are they?
    • rmeddy, on 07/13/2008, -4/+7Lol
    • Gillos, on 07/13/2008, -4/+4LMAO!
    • pablo82, on 07/13/2008, -3/+13Im definitely stealing that. Win.
      • funnyboy88, on 07/14/2008, -0/+1davecor stole that line from another comedian. can't remember who though.
      • davecor, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1I stole it from Carlos Mencia

        In other words, no telling where it came from.
    • extraspecialk, on 07/13/2008, -8/+2lmaroflcopter
  • f4nt0m4s, on 07/13/2008, -10/+2Oh, I get it. The video is parodying famous "comedian" Eddie Murphy, who hasn't made a funny movie in several years.
  • josereyes0, on 07/13/2008, -2/+40That this movie and the upcoming Chihuahua movie were made are two primary examples of the decline in human intelligence.
    • gplpark92, on 07/13/2008, -0/+16the Chihuahua one especially
    • swaters210, on 07/13/2008, -0/+8oh god who the hell came up with that movie?? a part of me died when I saw that trailer.
    • yacks, on 07/13/2008, -0/+8Hollywood is burning.. they never put out that fire at Universal Studios..
    • dxgg, on 07/13/2008, -3/+3That's a blanket statement. Those two movies were made by Americans, for Americans.
    • Achi11es, on 07/13/2008, -1/+3Steve Martin is doing another Pink Panther movie. He must be in some dire straits.
  • kenkyomausu, on 07/13/2008, -11/+2Gosh it's like I can't even think about seeing movies in theaters because digg always has some lame ass critic who hates every comedy movie ever...
    • Chainheart, on 07/13/2008, -1/+2Just stick to a diet of rottentomatoes and imdb and you'll be fine; a rating over 6.5 on imdb and 60% on RT means it's decent usually
  • woojoo, on 07/13/2008, -3/+44Scientologists.
    • Chainheart, on 07/13/2008, -5/+10***** THE RIAA
      • bdfariello, on 07/13/2008, -1/+4I'm not sure where you're going with this... Maybe you're saying we should download this movie, burn it to DVD, label it "Free ***** Eddie Murphy Movie" and leave it in a bus station? That'll show 'em.
      • yor1001, on 07/13/2008, -1/+1Always a good time to ***** 'EM
  • thatsmyaibo, on 07/13/2008, -1/+94How come he always has to play like 5 roles in a movie?
    • xrisnothing, on 07/13/2008, -1/+305 roles = 5 paychecks
    • Charrion, on 07/13/2008, -0/+50Because no one else is willing to risk their career sharing the screen with him? Perhaps the new slogan should be "Don't do movies with animals, kids, or Eddie Murphy." Case in point, Eddie has done all three.
    • Tahiri, on 07/13/2008, -4/+3It's called conceit
    • PilotHead, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2giving it accumulative suck
  • jbu311, on 07/13/2008, -6/+1The movie looks like crap but that part where he's putting hot dogs in his mouth looks hilarious.
  • Freakboy380, on 07/13/2008, -3/+3that was ***** asinine
  • klick37, on 07/13/2008, -1/+15Blalians: Two things white people fear combined.
  • shadekeiko, on 07/13/2008, -2/+11I was selling tickets in box office today and a mother with 2 annoying boys came up to me and was like "3 tickets to 'Meet Dave.'" I sort of stared back at her blankly - not because she was asking for tickets to a movie we weren't playing (thankfully), but because I couldn't imagine anyone wanting to see that horrible movie (much less wanting to pay to see that horrible movie).
  • jumanous, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2yeah.. he lost me at haunted house or whatever that movie was called.
  • RATATAT4, on 07/13/2008, -1/+48Eddie Murphy playing himself in multiple roles...again!?
    Rad.
  • steveoco, on 07/13/2008, -3/+14OMG! That white handshake bit was classic... "Us whities are so lame!"
    • Inohavehalos, on 07/13/2008, -0/+5I honestly think that directors put jokes like that in movies just to attract black people.
      • Gutterpunk, on 07/13/2008, -0/+4Movie Directors Care About Black People
      • kr3mliyn, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2Too true. Sadly, it's usually the only criteria of films we avoid.
  • xrisnothing, on 07/13/2008, -2/+6HOLY *****!!! Something involving Eddie Murphy just made me laugh.
    • jseres, on 07/13/2008, -0/+7You have obviously not seen Delirious or Raw.
    • xrisnothing, on 07/13/2008, -0/+4Are you serious? The Eddie Murphy on those is the same one that did Norbit?! Surely you jest.
  • cobophers, on 07/13/2008, -2/+8Eddie Murphy plays Eddie Murphy who then plays Eddie Murphy.


    Comic Gold.
  • TecK415, on 07/13/2008, -0/+21I don't get it. He was amazing in Dream Girls... Why does he keep on doing these terrible movies?? He CAN act... wtf is he thinking? He's probably thinking money... But there is money in good films, and that way people would actually have some respect for him. Way to throw away your career Eddie. I'm betting his next movie will be with Mike Myers...
    • DamienKarras, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2He's already done three movies with Mike Myers...
    • hotpuck6, on 07/13/2008, -0/+5The more roles he plays, the higher his paycheck!
      With Norbit he got 3/5 of the $35,000 they made!!!
    • jgtg32a, on 07/13/2008, -1/+1IIRC he stopped doing good movies, trading places coming to America, because he had kids
    • senae, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1He keeps doing them because they make him gobs of money.
  • Mikhail101, on 07/13/2008, -8/+2I would... if it was 1984
  • Mikhail101, on 07/13/2008, -4/+3Even though I agree cracked cant make me laugh for *****.
  • singingsox, on 07/13/2008, -6/+4I work in a movie theater, and even yesterday (it's first Friday in theaters) there were only like 7 people tops in the theater in each showing. So embarrassing.

    Good thing I will never have to pay to see this movie, because I get into movies for free =)
    I'm just looking forward to The Dark Knight.
  • ScottoGato, on 07/13/2008, -2/+22Charlie Murphy > Eddie Murphy
    • dmark77, on 07/13/2008, -1/+17Charlie Murphy!
    • Inohavehalos, on 07/13/2008, -0/+15Darkness!
    • thephosphorbox, on 07/13/2008, -0/+6As much as it saddens me to say it, I agree with you 100%. I remember the days of "Raw" and "Delirious".. Eddie was king.. from SNL to "Trading Places" to "Coming to America".. hell I even liked "The Golden Child".. couldn't touch Eddie back then. Now, he's fallen so far from grace I'm convinced it's purely a paycheck thing for him now.

      Now, Eddie does nothing for me, and Charlie is the man.
    • WELLDOITLIVE, on 07/14/2008, -0/+1***** yo couch!
  • Mikhail101, on 07/13/2008, -3/+8Hell his brother Charlie owns him
  • 76Cents, on 07/13/2008, -1/+14THey all look the same... lol
  • chrisinsocalif, on 07/13/2008, -2/+5How does he still get work? Is he turning a profit on any of his newer films?
  • aceetobee, on 07/13/2008, -11/+0Denzel a**fu**'s Condoleeza!
    • VgRasta, on 07/13/2008, -0/+4I have a hard time pronouncing words with asterisks.
  • Retrospekt, on 07/13/2008, -1/+23No entiendo, soy de Mexico!
  • btschul, on 07/13/2008, -3/+8I would pay not to see it.
  • colasrtney, on 07/13/2008, -1/+15That trailer made me so ***** angry.
