Tell me how dumb I am for not recognizing 2 dudes from Trading Places below! 😂😂 BEVERLY HILLS COP: ua-cam.com/video/ge0eYC5TV2o/v-deo.html TRADING PLACES: ua-cam.com/video/PzWSGHPMoI0/v-deo.html
When my friends and I go hiking or camping that line has become a standard morning tradition for the 1st morning out. The 1st person to get up and leave the tent will always go "Good morning my neighbors" and the rest will respond with "F you!". It started years ago as an impromptu joke and has now become a tradition.
I'm over fifty years old but when Jen Murray is doing 80's classics, I'm 14 years old and Murray is my cool Aunt Jen and it's just a great time all around. 🤩
Was going to say exactly that myself. These are the movies I grew up watching on VHS. Must have seen Trading Places, Blazing saddles, RHPS and various others hundreds of times.
Not only are the barbers Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall, but the white guy who was saying Rocky Marciano was the greatest boxer of all time was also played by Eddie Murphy.
@paulymar5996 And the make up effects were done by Make up effects legend Rick Baker , the side characters were hilarious showcasing Eddie Murphy 's talent for impressions Arsenio Hall hosted a very popular late night talk show around the time of the movie . with a great comedic cast in this classic and to hear JEN'S laugh i was roaring with laughter myself !😆🤘
John Landis using Rick Baker to do the faces for Eddie and Arsenio is almost a waste of Rick's talent, but the whiteface is immaculate 🤌 John and Rick go back at least as far as American Werewolf in London.
@@inarar5334 Actually, there's at least one version (which I watched on TV a while back) where Eddie Murphy's name doesn't appear under the old white man in the credits. I've no idea why that is, and I don't know why that alternate version isn't mentioned anywhere. It's literally the only difference; all the other credits (including Murphy's other roles) are still intact.
R.I.P. Louie Anderson (1953-2022) He made it into the sequel Coming 2 America (2021). Plus cameos from Mortimer (Don Ameche) and Randolph (Ralph Bellamy) from Trading Places (1983)
if you didn't notice, not only were almost all the men in the barber shop both Arsenio Hall and Eddie Murphey, even the white old man, the young man getting his hair cut was Cuba Gooding Jr.
Interesting bit of trivia: The actor shown at 18:57, playing a Zamunda native who recognizes Prince Akeem, is actor/director Vondie Curtis-Hall. Not many people know that he directed one of the best episodes of the Joss Whedon-cult-favorite-TV-series Firefly, called "Our Mrs Reynolds".
This was once a highly prized job. They were called "Grooms of the stool". The staff who had this role got to spend a lot of quality one to one time with the royal!
The very last song on Alice In Chains' debut album ("Facelift, 1990) ends with one of the band members yelling "Sexual Chocolate, baby!" & then a snare hit. The end. Shows that heavy rockers love fun movies like these. Eddie plays multiple roles in the two Nutty Professor films (the original starring Jerry Lewis), practically his entire family (the Klumps).
"ok ok Ill try the soup where is the spoon?" "AH HA!", Is still one of my favorite memories ingrained in my child brain. To this day whenever I see my cousin Shelly I just go AH HA and we both die laughing.
King Jaffe’s arrival in NYC is the coolest thing to happen in the history of cinema. The presentation is perfect, the score, the police escort. Oha and the lady in waiting and the rose bearers dubious expressions. And Jones feels like a king
I've seen this film so many times this is the first time I've noticed that Cuba Gooding Junior is the customer when they first enter the barber shop. Woe.
Eddy Murphy’s most popular stand up had to be “RAW” Circa 1984. I purchased the audio cassette of this performance that year when I was 16 and by the end of the summer my friends and I had the entire performance down verbatim. Remember, no computers, iPads or cellphones back then. We had our boom boxes, alcoholic beverages and each other for entertainment. PS. Performance warning ALLOT of ADULT Language!
Rick Baker did the special makeup effects for the different characters Murphy and Hall played. Also Cuba Gooding Jr is the young man getting a haircut in the barbershop.
For Eddie's Standup, his two big ones are 'Delirious' and 'Raw'. Now, they are a product of their times, and he's a lot younger back then. Keep that in mind if you go into it.
The old white Jewish man was also played by Eddie Murphy, which is really hard to believe, but Rick Baker did the prosthetic makeup for this film, and he's won many academy awards for his work. Also, Eddie Murphy Raw was always my favorite, but Delirious is also really good!
The music during the opening credits is done by Ladysmith Black Mambazo, they were mentioned in Mean Girls and I grew up listening to them. My mom went to see them recently. Good thing you watched Trading Places first or you wouldn't have caught the cameo/reference. This is a great comedy, glad you enjoyed it Jen 😊
*Akeem:* Please refrain from using any further obscenities. *Samuel L. Jackson:* _(incredulous)_ What?! Asking Samuel L. Jackson not to use further obscenities _that_ early in his career? Not gonna happen.
Just learned a fun doggy fact. 17:14 I recognised this dog. She is called Darla, she was 'precious' in silence of the lambs, was also in Batman Returns, and The Burbs.
The movies from Eddie Murphy's "prime" are: Trading Places, 48 Hours, Beverly Hills Cop 1 & 2, and Coming To America. He also made the Golden Child during this period which is usually crapped on but I think its great fun and Prime Murphy.
How could you forget about Eddie’s greatest film???? HARLEM NIGHTS!!!! Ok, technically it was an ensemble with Richard Pryor, Arsenio, Redd Fox, Della Reese, etc, etc, but it is legit the funniest movie of all time!
@@periechontology you can also technically throw in Boomerang though it was the very last of the original Eddie Murphy formula back in 1991 I believe. It’s not at the level of the peak releases but it’s still funny as hell! “The green olives get to be in a jar; why they gotta LOCK the black olives in a can?!?! It’s all racial man!” -Martin Lawrence
Two stand up shows are "Eddie Murphy Delirious" (1983) & "Eddie Murphy Raw" (1987). These two shows were huge for us kids growing up in the 80's. In fact I was quoting Delirious just last week at work.
Delirious and Raw are his Stand-up videos. Beverly hills Cop and it's sequels are his action movies but he also had Trading Places with Dan Akroyd and Doctor Dolittle and The Nutty Professor.
@@jasonalcantara8380same! I’ve watched countless reactions of this movie but this time, because of all the episodes of Good Times lately, all I see is James Evans.
Wow, Jen, thank you so much for watching this movie! One of my absolute favorite childhood feelgood movies and your reaction and laughing is just wonderful! 😁 These 80s vibes, the music, perfect. And I just remembered, I'm all out of Soul Glo😂 Wouldn't that be something if that commercial was real? The only commercial I'd let my star trek sundays getting interrupted for😂
You saw my sister in a number of the scenes. She was one of the dancers, one of the flower girls and one of the bath attendants. I didn't meet Eddie but I did meet Arsenio at the NY wrap party.
Yes it's Eddie Murphy. He plays 4 roles: Akeem, Clarence, Saul and Randy Watson. Arsenio plays 4 roles as well: Semmi, Morris, Ugly girl and Reverend Brown.
4:52 FUN FACT: Choreography for this routine was done by Paula Abdul. (Former Laker cheerleader, "Forever Your Girl", first few seasons of "American Idol"... THAT Paula Abdul.)
Such a fun reaction! Love this movie too. That soup joke at the end is one of my favorite jokes ever. It's just the right level of dumb that makes you groan and laugh in equal amounts
The homeless guys that receive the large wad of cash in a paper bag are key characters (Randolph and Mortimer Duke) from the Trading Places movie. They were the guys that Dan Akroyd and Eddie Murphy overcome. You watched it a few months ago. This was them after they lost everything.
Thank you for another great reaction! :) Well, this movie I first saw when I was 9-10 years old. I didn´t understand all the "adult" jokes, but I did think it´s was very funny when the guy saw the king and slammed the apartment door and when the prince yelled Good morning and also replied "yes, yes! **** you too!"
Eddie was on top of the world in the 80s. Best comedian of all time. Eddie's best stand up for me was RAW. It still holds up today even though its almost 40 years old now.
Fun fact his parents, the King played by James Earl Jones and Queen played by Madge Sinclair also played the King and Queen in The Lion King, Mufasa and Sarabi.
The guy in the red hat @ 18:55 is eddie murphy's other brother Vernon Lynch. This is my favorite movie and I know all about it. Seen hundreds of times and still love it.
To answer a question that you asked in the full video that didn't make the cut, the "movie" called "See You Next Wednesday" isn't actually a movie. It's a running gag with John Landis films. Many of his films contain a reference to a movie called "See You Next Wednesday" but each one is a different movie. In The Blues Brothers, the cops are staked out behind a billboard featuring that movie title and it shows a King Kong like theme to it. In Trading Places there's a movie poster in Jamie Lee Curtis' bedroom but in that case, it's more of a romantic movie.
"See you next Wednesday" is Landis' tribute to Stanley Kubrick. The line is from Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. Kubrick also inserted variations of CRM 114 (Serum 114) in his films..
Jen, thats every black pastor on Sunday... Cant believe you cant tell thats Eddie and Aresenio playing all the characters. That's what makes this a classic
Composer Richard Wagner once arranged for his wife to wake up to the sound of an orchestra playing a piece he'd composed as a birthday present ('Siegfried Idyll'). Not that I recommended anybody draw any conclusions about the man based on this single gesture, mind you.
eddie murphy's 1983 "delirious" is one his most famous stand up comedy shows. i was 10 when it came out and it was so funny. i had it on cassette tape and seen it on cable tv years later
great reaction Jen i love this movie its hilarious, One of the standout features of this movie is Eddie Murphy’s incredible portrayal of not just one, but four different characters in the film. He plays the main character, Prince Akeem, as well as three other supporting characters, including Clarence the barber. This showcased Murphy’s versatility and comedic talent. There are some fun-facts about it, Landis and Murphy revisited two central characters from their earlier collaboration. Wealthy brothers Randolph and Mortimer Duke lost everything betting against Billy Ray Valentine (Murphy) in Trading Places. Actors Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche reprised their roles as the brothers in penury on the receiving end of Prince Akeem’s largesse. When they discover the envelope given to them is filled with cash, Randolph proclaims, “Mortimer, we’re back!” James Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair got their 'Lion King' roles from the movie. James Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair turned in suitably regal performances as Zamunda’s King Jaffe Joffer and Queen Aoleon. So impressed were audiences and Hollywood executives, Jones and Sinclair would be asked to reunite for the 1994 animated blockbuster The Lion King in the roles of Mufasa, king of Pride Rock, and his mate, Sarabi. McDowell’s restaurant was actually a Wendy’s, not a McDonald’s, the actual restaurant used in the movie was a working, Queens Boulevard Wendy’s location. The building remained a restaurant until 2013 when it was demolished to make way for a luxury apartment building. Paula Abdul created the choreography for the Zamunda wedding scene, Both Murphy’s and Hall’s brothers feature briefly in the movie during the basketball game scene in which Prince Akeem is recognized. Hall’s brother Vondie Curtis-Hall plays the keen-eyed vendor and Murphy’s stepbrother, Vernon Lynch, is standing in front of Akeem in the bathroom line. Tobe Hooper, the late horror director behind The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and a dear friend of Landis’s appeared in the McDowells’ party scene. Keep up the good work.
One of Eddie's best & his 2nd collab w/director John Landis (they did TRADING PLACES prior) & yes Eddie & Arsenio are in multiple roles (Eddie is also the old Jewish barbershop gent) - thanks largely to Rick Baker's make-up (Baker got an Oscar nod & won the very first Oscar for this category for AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON also directed by Landis). Always enjoy seeing you laugh Jen :D
Eddie Murphy: Raw, is probably his best stand-up I would also recommend the segments of Chappelle Show - Charlie Murphy's Real Hollywood stories, where Eddie's brother Charles (RIP) talks about some outrageous stories from the 80s when he and Eddie were hanging out in Hollywood.
Just when I thought that I couldnt love this channel any more🤯 you react to a classic Eddie Murphy flick where other reactors just do Trading Places and Beverly Hills Cop. I'll reserve my February Valentine's vote for another Eddie Murphy classic with a great soundtrack that reactors never do and that is "Boomerang"🙏 Great reaction! Especially to "Sexual Chocolate"!!!😆😂🤣😆👍🏾👏🏾🥰😆😂🤣
You should check out Eddie Murphy’s Delirious and Eddie Murphy’s Raw. When the two bums made their appearance there was so much buzz that there was going to be a Trading Places 2. You might of missed Cuba Gooding Jr. He was the kid in the barbershop. Great reaction as always.
Tell me how dumb I am for not recognizing 2 dudes from Trading Places below! 😂😂
BEVERLY HILLS COP: ua-cam.com/video/ge0eYC5TV2o/v-deo.html
TRADING PLACES: ua-cam.com/video/PzWSGHPMoI0/v-deo.html
NAH, I've had to point that out dozens of times!
I'd rather give You a Pass😇I could never be mean to You, Jen, not even with Your permission to be...👌
Yeah, I thought you would recognize them😮
Wish they would've done a trading places 2. You get a pass Jen!😊
It’s easy to miss!
…I never noticed until reading about it somewhere haha
The makeup on Eddie playing the old Jewish guy is _amazing._ It's completely convincing.
"She thinks she's a Wild Oat" - this Jen line got a genuine laugh out of me.
“Good morning, my neighbors!”
“Hey, F*ck you!”
“Yes, yes. F*ck you too!” That scene never gets old.
i made it into a meme i use quite often. :D
Good lines, Dylan.

So many movies get "NYC" wrong, but this scene nailed it. 💯
Not only was Darth Vader in the house, but James Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair were Mufasa and Sirabi in the animated Lion King.
So.......Akeem is simba
Jones was only the voice of Vader.
@@salvadorlopezsalas8766 or possibly a Simbling.
Madge Sinclair also played the captain of the USS Saratoga at the beginning of Star Trek IV.

I was a 17 year old usher at our local cinema when this came out. Can still smell the popcorn when I watch this one.
I was 13 when this movie hit the big screen. It was FUNNY AF and STILL is!!!🤣😅😂👍
Trading Places tycoons were the bums who lost their wealth and exclaimed “we’re back” after Eddie gave them a wad of cash.
That wound me up, more than not seeing the other Eddie Murphy cameos.
Trading Places should be required viewing before seeing this movie.

The opening credits flyover of that ridiculously large miniature is one of the best introductory sequences in cinema. Never tire of watching it.
26:19 James Earl Jones uses an iconic Darth Vader's line "Do not alert him to my presence"
Rick Baker did the special makeup effects for the different characters Murphy and Hall played.
Also Cuba Gooding Jr is the young man getting a haircut in the barbershop.
I only found out the other day the soundtrack was written by Nile Rogers including the legendary SOOOOUUUULLLL GLOW jingle.
Fantastic fun, hilarious movie. Especially with Eddie and Arsenio playing multiple characters. Almost everyone in barber shop and more.
26:19: When the king says “Do not alert him to my presence”, it sounds like a similar line by Vader in Return Of The Jedi.
The line was delivered like that on purpose.
dir. Landis just asked if he would do it and he did.
I've always thought it sounded more like something Darth Vader would say and how he said it.
There’s a video of Darth Vader scenes dubbed over with lines from the king. It’s pretty great.
For Eddie's Standup, his two big ones are 'Delirious' and 'Raw'.
Now, they are a product of their times, and he's a lot younger back then. Keep that in mind if you go into it.
The old white Jewish man was also played by Eddie Murphy, which is really hard to believe, but Rick Baker did the prosthetic makeup for this film, and he's won many academy awards for his work.
Also, Eddie Murphy Raw was always my favorite, but Delirious is also really good!
One of my favorite lines in any movie: "My son WORKS?!" 🤣🤣🤣
My niece and I are always randomly yelling those lines to each other. "What is this?" "McDowell's" "My son WORKS?"
When I was in college a few years after this movie came out, my friends and I would often enter a room , do the double "Oha clap" and yell "WIPERS!"
LMAO, same, "My son WORKS?!!" is one of my favorites to quote with my friends but I also love to quote "Isn't that WONDERFUL?!" to lol 😂
"Sweat from a baboon's balls! That's a mouthful." Well played, my dear. Well played indeed.
When i went to the movie and he said that line at 16:11 there was a collective groan from the audience
"It's got one window facing a brick wall"
"I rent it to a blind man"
Shame what they did to that dog.

JUST LET YOUR SOOOOOUUUL GLO !!!!! 😂😂😂 omg . Such a classic
“Harlem Nights” features Eddie and Richard Pryor. Eddie plays a vampire in “Vampire in Brooklyn” and “Boomerang” is a decent romcom
The guy in the red hat @ 18:55 is eddie murphy's other brother Vernon Lynch. This is my favorite movie and I know all about it. Seen hundreds of times and still love it.
To answer a question that you asked in the full video that didn't make the cut, the "movie" called "See You Next Wednesday" isn't actually a movie. It's a running gag with John Landis films. Many of his films contain a reference to a movie called "See You Next Wednesday" but each one is a different movie. In The Blues Brothers, the cops are staked out behind a billboard featuring that movie title and it shows a King Kong like theme to it. In Trading Places there's a movie poster in Jamie Lee Curtis' bedroom but in that case, it's more of a romantic movie.
"See you next Wednesday" is Landis' tribute to Stanley Kubrick. The line is from Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. Kubrick also inserted variations of CRM 114 (Serum 114) in his films..
Eddie Murphy Delirious is probably his most famous stand-up
Jen, thats every black pastor on Sunday...
Cant believe you cant tell thats Eddie and Aresenio playing all the characters. That's what makes this a classic
Composer Richard Wagner once arranged for his wife to wake up to the sound of an orchestra playing a piece he'd composed as a birthday present ('Siegfried Idyll'). Not that I recommended anybody draw any conclusions about the man based on this single gesture, mind you.
8:25 - Cuba Gooding Junior!
R.I.P James Earl Jones🕊
eddie murphy's 1983 "delirious" is one his most famous stand up comedy shows. i was 10 when it came out and it was so funny. i had it on cassette tape and seen it on cable tv years later
Omg just noticed in the credits - boy getting haircut at 8.14 is Cuba Gooding Junior!! Never knew that before
At 7:40, "Body by Jake" exercise video creator!
great reaction Jen i love this movie its hilarious, One of the standout features of this movie is Eddie Murphy’s incredible portrayal of not just one, but four different characters in the film. He plays the main character, Prince Akeem, as well as three other supporting characters, including Clarence the barber. This showcased Murphy’s versatility and comedic talent.
There are some fun-facts about it, Landis and Murphy revisited two central characters from their earlier collaboration. Wealthy brothers Randolph and Mortimer Duke lost everything betting against Billy Ray Valentine (Murphy) in Trading Places. Actors Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche reprised their roles as the brothers in penury on the receiving end of Prince Akeem’s largesse.
When they discover the envelope given to them is filled with cash, Randolph proclaims, “Mortimer, we’re back!”
James Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair got their 'Lion King' roles from the movie. James Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair turned in suitably regal performances as Zamunda’s King Jaffe Joffer and Queen Aoleon. So impressed were audiences and Hollywood executives, Jones and Sinclair would be asked to reunite for the 1994 animated blockbuster The Lion King in the roles of Mufasa, king of Pride Rock, and his mate, Sarabi.
McDowell’s restaurant was actually a Wendy’s, not a McDonald’s, the actual restaurant used in the movie was a working, Queens Boulevard Wendy’s location. The building remained a restaurant until 2013 when it was demolished to make way for a luxury apartment building.
Paula Abdul created the choreography for the Zamunda wedding scene, Both Murphy’s and Hall’s brothers feature briefly in the movie during the basketball game scene in which Prince Akeem is recognized. Hall’s brother Vondie Curtis-Hall plays the keen-eyed vendor and Murphy’s stepbrother, Vernon Lynch, is standing in front of Akeem in the bathroom line.
Tobe Hooper, the late horror director behind The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and a dear friend of Landis’s appeared in the McDowells’ party scene. Keep up the good work.
For Eddie’s stand-up, *Delirious* is a classic, followed by *Raw* as a close second. 😂🤣
0:18
Fun Fact for you, Jen:
James Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair also voiced Mufasa and Sarabi, Simba's parents in "The Lion King"
I Still remember When Akeem gave the Randolph brothers from the Trading Brothers the money, EVERYONE in the movie theater groaned.
One of Eddie's best & his 2nd collab w/director John Landis (they did TRADING PLACES prior) & yes Eddie & Arsenio are in multiple roles (Eddie is also the old Jewish barbershop gent) - thanks largely to Rick Baker's make-up (Baker got an Oscar nod & won the very first Oscar for this category for AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON also directed by Landis). Always enjoy seeing you laugh Jen :D
"Tell her you love her! She thinks she's a wild oat!" is just brilliantly hilarious commentary. 🤣🤣🤣
Eddie Murphy: Raw, is probably his best stand-up
I would also recommend the segments of Chappelle Show - Charlie Murphy's Real Hollywood stories, where Eddie's brother Charles (RIP) talks about some outrageous stories from the 80s when he and Eddie were hanging out in Hollywood.
So many great lines in this! Madge Sinclair telling James Earl Jones to "put a sock in it!" always gets me 😂
I legitimately love his Mets jacket
RIP John Amos and James earl Jones... Nice reaction... Regards
One of the funniest and also one of the best romantic comedy movies ever made!
I’ve been watching so much of Jen’s TNG reactions that I now expect her to say "commercial break!" whenever a film fades to black.
Hahaha. 👍 🖖
This will be a good one! Love hearing Jen laugh 🥰
It’s always a joy seeing and hearing Jen laugh.
@@Dillpicks95 100 % !
So Luis Anderson was a comedian had his own version in the states early 90s not sure if Canada picked it up? Eric LaSalle was on "E.R".
Just when I thought that I couldnt love this channel any more🤯 you react to a classic Eddie Murphy flick where other reactors just do Trading Places and Beverly Hills Cop. I'll reserve my February Valentine's vote for another Eddie Murphy classic with a great soundtrack that reactors never do and that is "Boomerang"🙏 Great reaction! Especially to "Sexual Chocolate"!!!😆😂🤣😆👍🏾👏🏾🥰😆😂🤣
You should check out Eddie Murphy’s Delirious and Eddie Murphy’s Raw. When the two bums made their appearance there was so much buzz that there was going to be a Trading Places 2. You might of missed Cuba Gooding Jr. He was the kid in the barbershop. Great reaction as always.
