Haha! That had to be one of the funniest skits next to The Real World I had even seen
Rest in peace, Mr. Murphy. And thank you for the smiles and laughter.
WTF!?
Chappelle’s Show skits with Charlie Murphy are amongst the funniest television skits ever produced.
The meme “I’m Rick James bitch!” is still used.
It’s always horrible to hear of people fall to a disease like this well before what we think is their time.
However I suppose we’re not all destined to die peaceably in our sleep at 100.
RIP Charlie Murphy and condolences to his family.
Micki Free ain’t a girl!
I didn’t know he even had a brother. 57 is pretty young, but cancer can take over at any time and at any age.
So, that probably means Eddie gets himself checked for it every so often.
I remember the pancakes.
Those skits were hilarious. R.I.P.
Leukemia.
Awful....just awful.
Prince dies at 57
One year later Charlie Murphy dies at 57
Game. Blouses.
If you didn’t know he had a brother you must go watch this. Dave Chapelle is playing the part of Prince who has challenged Charlie Murphy and his crew to a game of basketball. Charlie Murphy is the one narrating the story and laughing.
