Some stuff wasn't quite right. According to Rick, it wasn't the Unity ring but another ring he punched him with (you can see it in the video even, the ring Rick points to does not say Unity). But yeah, seems mostly accurate.
If Chappelle made more seasons of the show, there were going to be more of them. And Eddie Murphy had intentions of doing it the season after the season the show ended.
Basically everything from The Chappelle show was fantastic, but the true Hollywood stories were always some of my favorites. I love Charlie Murphy in most everything I've seen him in. Him and Samuel L Jackson in The Boondocks as the two white "gangsta" characters is classic! RIP king!
Gangsta? Not likely. They rarely affiliated with anyone other than themselves. Like most characters on the show, they were parody characters. Ed Wuncler III (voiced by Charlie Murphy) was a parody of a young George W Bush. Gin Rummy (voiced by Samuel L Jackson) was a parody of a young Donald Rumsfeld. Like most things on the show the characters were part of political satire.
@@thequesper4418 duh. Why are you so literal? And gangsta doesn’t mean u have to belong to a gang. It’s a term that is usually just used in place of the word tough, criminal, street, cool, or outlaw.
The other stories Charlie told are almost funnier. "We took him to the brick oven and made pizza with his face". "I almost stomped him. He was there to be stomped. But I know his moms yo."
there's a third part to this bit that people rarely see. You should check out the wayne brady sketch from Chappelle Show. There's also a sketch where dave gets oprah pregnant.
There's a great clip of Dave Chappelle, I think it during a speech at Eddie's Mark Twain Prize ceremony, talking about how after they made this skit they took it to Eddie's house to show him and like, fact check it. And at the end of the skit Eddie said "it was a suede couch and he had on Capezios!". Lol
Man, I can't overstate how big this was when it first aired. Had us all going around saying "I'm Rick James, bitch!" Still can't believe this premiered nearly 20 years ago
Sadly it got to the point that people kept shouting it at Dave's standup shows which is one of the reasons he quit his own show. People just couldn't leave it alone.
I remember being in my early teens when this first came out, and the phrases "F your couch" and "coc@!ne is a hell of a drug" became the things that I said more than anything else... But for another epic all time Chappelle show skit- the Wayne Brady show skit is another all time great
When Chappelle's show came out, random people across the factory floor would be hollering, "WHAT?" then of course came the "OKAY" and "YAYEAH" in response.
I had the privilege of seeing Charlie Murphy in person telling these stories prior to his passing. He was an amazing story teller, and I have found no reason not to believe every bit of them.
RIP Charlie Murphy and Rick James.Charlie Murphy is an extraordinarily talented individual.Was in several movies.His Career was taken off to superstar level when he got sick.
CLIP IS INCOMPLETE. There is a 3rd story that Charlie Murphy told about Rick James @ the China Club which was originally aired in '03-'04 on the Chappelle Show & is included in the dvd set & on streaming apps but has somehow not been uploaded to youtube. The series dvd set has a few extra Charlie Murphy stories & just fyi, Prince did confirm Charlie's basketball story on some late-night talk show but I can't remember whose or when but Prince did use that pic a Dave Chappelle dressed in the Zorro outfit for one of his (Prince's) albums in the 2000's.
You have to hear the full True Hollywood Stories. It’s just Charlie telling stories with no skits, just hilarious stories. It was the dvd extra. “Give me more!!!”
I can watch this a thousand times and still laugh until I cry. Rick James was an over the top personality, so I dont think there was much exaggeration to this. I love your reactions, and you have a nice calming voice...
I remember 20 or so years ago at the first couple Gathering of the Juggalos festivals when this came out. Campsites would be yelling "fuck yo couch" and "I'm Rick James, bitch!" back and forth. Memories. 🤣
Charlie was honestly one of the best story tellers ever. He is funny and the whole time he is talking you can't help but to hang on every word. Lucky for him, he also had some of the most entertaining life experiences of any human to share with the rest of us.
I've never seen lines from a show catch fire the way they did from this skit... "I'm Rick James, bitch!" was everywhere, instantly. As well as, "Cocaine's a hell of a drug." "Habitual line stepper" is just fucking Gold.
The first time I watched this when it aired and Rick James just bursts out saying "Cocaine's a hell of a drug," I must have laughed a solid 10 minutes after that. I've lost track of the amount of times that I've seen this story, yet it's still funny to this day.
There are full unedited interviews with Charlie and Rick on the Chappelle show dvd. Also Dave and Neal doing commentary on this episode is hilarious! They said that Charlie's son played Eddie in the skit and in between takes would go "Dad. Uncle Eddie really use to wear stuff like this?"
This story alone from Chappelle's Show made such huge contributions to American culture. It's staggering. "Cocaine is a hell of a drug", "Fuck yo couch", "I'm Rick James, bitch!", etc. You say those phrases, and people immediately know what sentiment you are conveying. Brilliant.
This skit is so funny I brought a copy to Montreal with me when it aired and showed it to some friends of mine that didn't even speak english and they were dying. Thats when you know it's funny.
Hands down on of the greatest skits ever.....solely because of it's real.....damn shame we never gotten more of the stories because you know Charlie had a hell of a lot more lol
"See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and grind my feet on somebody's couch like it's something to do? Come on. I got a little more sense then that...Yeah, I remember grinding my feet on Eddie's couch."
Dam man Charlie Murphy was a true treasure. Its been said that after he told the story on camera and Dave ran with it and compiled everything and then they did the funny flashback scenes that he sat down with Charlie and he watched the whole thing. Didnt laugh didnt talk. At the end he turns to Dave and says "the couch was red" 🤣
Literally just watched the one where you reacted to the story about Prince, and was really hoping you would do this one. Haven't even watched this one yet just so excited that you reacted to it.
Yeah, best skit on the entire show. I was in college at the time and for like 2 or 3 weeks everyone was saying "I'm Rick James bitch". Too bad Charlie died 5 years ago from Leukemia. RIP.
They were waiting time thinking of skits... It came up that Dave knew Rick from his first movie ROBINHOOD MEN IN TIGHTS Rick would hang out in the lobby and entertain people fans and Dave would show up to enjoy his company. That sparked the Charlie Murphy's stories ... they were too good .
Yo I've STILL got "I'm Rick James b*tch" as my notification tone🤷♂️😂😂💜 You need to see the introduction to this really to get the back story on this,but while you're here, look for Rick James at the China club 👌5fingers😂😂😂
After Charlie Murphy passed away Dave Chappelle said that one of his favorite things he ever said was when he called Rick James a "Habitual Line Stepper" 😂😂 Suck a great line.
He absolutely did not over exaggerate. 100% true. Rick and Eddie verified the stories
And Micky Free as well 😎 he gives the whole story in an interview.
@@lilkujo yes thank you... iwas going to mention him too, but I brain farted while commenting and couldn't think of his name...lol
Some stuff wasn't quite right. According to Rick, it wasn't the Unity ring but another ring he punched him with (you can see it in the video even, the ring Rick points to does not say Unity). But yeah, seems mostly accurate.
I love how "Cocaine's a hell of a drug." wraps the story up so perfectly. Actual Rick James and the editing elevates the story.
That's not the end of it tho. Wth. What did the 5 fingers say to the face. Slap
@@YourLastWish I just meant the couch story, not the whole series. I just think that story was told particularly well.
Someone once said “The only thing bad about “Charlie Murphy’s!!” stories was that there wasn’t enough of them!!
If Chappelle made more seasons of the show, there were going to be more of them. And Eddie Murphy had intentions of doing it the season after the season the show ended.

Truth is stranger than fiction and Charlie Murphy never failed to tell amazing inside Hollywood stories. He was great on podcasts too. RIP.
I refuse to think he had never seen these Chapelle videos
What podcasts did Charlie do? Never knew that
One of my favorite "skits" from the show. Not for the endless amounts of quotes that most people enjoy, but just for Charlie's delivery. RIP.
there's a third part to this bit that people rarely see. You should check out the wayne brady sketch from Chappelle Show. There's also a sketch where dave gets oprah pregnant.
Oh man, the Wayne Brady one!!! I'd almost forgotten about that. Wow, that show really did have just an unbelievable number of top tier sketches.
Wayne Brady!!!
Wonder why they cut the third story out…
Got ya bitch!
Been praying for that Wayne Brady Skit, makes me laugh so hard.
You can tell he’s telling the truth 😂😂 Rick was a “habitual line stepper”
RIP to Prince, Rick James, and Charlie Murphy.
There's a great clip of Dave Chappelle, I think it during a speech at Eddie's Mark Twain Prize ceremony, talking about how after they made this skit they took it to Eddie's house to show him and like, fact check it. And at the end of the skit Eddie said "it was a suede couch and he had on Capezios!". Lol
Suede? Oh my god that makes it so much worse somehow. The absolute audacity. Lolol TIL thanks.
Man RIP Charlie, this laugh really hit me n reminded me he's gone way too early...
Man, I can't overstate how big this was when it first aired. Had us all going around saying "I'm Rick James, bitch!" Still can't believe this premiered nearly 20 years ago
Yes, and I still hear people say "Cocaine is a helluva drug!" whenever someone does something inexplicable. 😆
The two most quoted things I've ever heard in my life are "I'm Rick James bitch" and " Cocain is a helluv a drug"...
Sadly it got to the point that people kept shouting it at Dave's standup shows which is one of the reasons he quit his own show. People just couldn't leave it alone.
Charlies delivery was ON POINT! man, he got taken away too soon!
This will never ever get old...RIP Charlie Murphy and Rick James🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
"I been kicked outta better houses than this" best line😂
The Player Haters Ball is an amazing skit, worth Reacting
I remember being in my early teens when this first came out, and the phrases "F your couch" and "coc@!ne is a hell of a drug" became the things that I said more than anything else...
But for another epic all time Chappelle show skit- the Wayne Brady show skit is another all time great
You forgot about "I'm Rich B*tch!" & of course, "I'm Rick James B*tch!
When Chappelle's show came out, random people across the factory floor would be hollering, "WHAT?" then of course came the "OKAY" and "YAYEAH" in response.

Saw Dave Chappelle Show when it was new, and always loved this sketches. So damm funny even until this day almost 20 years later. Charlie Murphy RIP
this is Gold!!! cant belive u never seen this before !! i watch this here in denmark when i was just a little boy, RIP Charlie
RIP Charlie.... this is one of the funniest stories ever. Miss you bro!
I’ve seen this sketch so many times and I’m still crying watching it 😂
RIP Charlie Murphy and Rick James.Charlie Murphy is an extraordinarily talented individual.Was in several movies.His Career was taken off to superstar level when he got sick.
It was taking off to new levels, but he was around for years. His role as Gusto in CB4 is one of my favorite of his. That was back in the early 90’s
He was in CB4! ?! Nice
Rest in peace Charlie
Haha great reaction to a legendary skit. "Habitual Line-Stepper" is also referenced as a song title by one of my favorite bands, Periphery.
"Charlie Murphy! What did the five fingers say to the face?"

RIP Charlie Murphy... this is one of my favorite clips of the show... absolutely... RIP
Great video! There is one more segment to the Rick James series but it's a little harder to find, but totally worth it
WHAT DID THE FIVE FINGERS, SAY TO THE FACE!?

That's right bitch, THATS right bitch. 🤣😂🤣

This shit is still just as funny now as it was back then!
I am LOVING watching you watch this!!! THANK YOU!
That story is actually longer. It was a whole episode by itself. It was that epic.
all of Chappelle's skits makes me laugh
THIS is my favorite Chapelle skit ever! RIP Charlie Murphy greatly missed

You gotta watch part three of this! They cut off the video too early. The last part is HILARIOUS!!!
"What did the five fingers say to the face?" :D
Great reaction
RIP to Rick James

you gotta find the 3rd part. can't leave it like this!
Charlie Murphy was really good at martial arts from his time in the military. That's probably where got that kick from.🤣
This story alone from Chappelle's Show made such huge contributions to American culture. It's staggering. "Cocaine is a hell of a drug", "Fuck yo couch", "I'm Rick James, bitch!", etc. You say those phrases, and people immediately know what sentiment you are conveying. Brilliant.
This skit is so funny I brought a copy to Montreal with me when it aired and showed it to some friends of mine that didn't even speak english and they were dying. Thats when you know it's funny.
i love watching people who are around or slightly older then me watch the chappelle show. this is true comedy in the early 2000s.
Dude Chappelle’s Show is such a legendary piece of art, so glad i own the dvd boxset 🙏🏻
Hands down on of the greatest skits ever.....solely because of it's real.....damn shame we never gotten more of the stories because you know Charlie had a hell of a lot more lol
"See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and grind my feet on somebody's couch like it's something to do? Come on. I got a little more sense then that...Yeah, I remember grinding my feet on Eddie's couch."
Charlie Murphy was a untapped treasure. Love that dude.
RIP to Charlie, I wish we got more stories out of him.
Charlie was so funny saw him doing stand up before he past, was awesome to see live. His stories will stand forever as the best i've heard.
This is great i love these stories growing up RIP Charlie Murphy we miss you
The Rick James clips are from a real interview. You can look the full thing up. Best skit ever, RIP Charlie Murphy
Chappelle Show-MAD REAL WORLD
Dam man Charlie Murphy was a true treasure. Its been said that after he told the story on camera and Dave ran with it and compiled everything and then they did the funny flashback scenes that he sat down with Charlie and he watched the whole thing. Didnt laugh didnt talk. At the end he turns to Dave and says "the couch was red" 🤣
This and the prince story are two of my favorite things on the internet.
So happy you're doing these! I'm laughing just as hard as when I watched it on Chappelle's Show...Charlie Murphy was the best! Wrong! Wrong! Haha
Charlie Murphy has a black belt in karate. He has other crazy stories including a great one with Mike Tyson and his pet tiger.
Love Charlie Murphy! I was hoping I could see the actual video of him.
Prime Chappelle was out of this world, best comedian ever.
Agree, there must be so much gold that we will never hear now they’re gone…….
They actually cut a piece of this skit out. If you want to see the part they cut, look up " what did the five fingers say to the face".
Just saw your reaction to prince like 2 hours ago! Love you catching up on some Chappelle show!
RIP Charlie Murphy, Rick James and Prince.
Literally just watched the one where you reacted to the story about Prince, and was really hoping you would do this one. Haven't even watched this one yet just so excited that you reacted to it.
YESSS!! You absoute legend!! Thank you so much for doing these!! Can't wait to see more!! And yes these are all real!!
Yes the story was true! Before Charlie got famous he was Eddie’s bodyguard. So the fighting really happened
Doesn't matter how many times I watch the Rick James sketches it never gets old
Alot of these skits are edited. There are funny parts that are taken out of these videos.
Love watching your reactions no matter what.
RIP Rick James & Charlie Murphy.
the full version is amazing!
Awesome! I was waiting for you to react to this!
Yeah, best skit on the entire show. I was in college at the time and for like 2 or 3 weeks everyone was saying "I'm Rick James bitch". Too bad Charlie died 5 years ago from Leukemia. RIP.
To think, this is one of the more tame stories of Rick James.
The DVD extras have the ENTIRE story and it is amazing folks !!!!!
I REALLY miss Charlie Murphy... RIP
There's another part to this skit!.... Gotta watch!
Another series of sketches where the actual person ended up in one were the "Day in the Life of Lil' John"
WHATT??
@@davidbush8341 OKAAYYYYYYYYY
@@davidbush8341 OKAY!!
This is true too. No exaggerations.
Charlie Murphy - I Want More is brilliant
“What’s my name?!?” “It’s Rick James bitch!!!”
Even after all these years that’s still the most memorable line from the show 🤣
They were waiting time thinking of skits...
It came up that Dave knew Rick from his first movie ROBINHOOD MEN IN TIGHTS
Rick would hang out in the lobby and entertain people fans and Dave would show up to enjoy his company.
That sparked the Charlie Murphy's stories ... they were too good .
Lol i knew this was coming, the best of Chapelles show skits
*Chappelle's
Charlie Murphy was a lifetime martial artist. That kick was the real shit.
The One with prince is also priceless !!
RIP Charlie Murphy ❤️💔❤️
The best part is that Charlie Murphy was a pallbearer at Rick James funeral 🙏
Yo I've STILL got "I'm Rick James b*tch" as my notification tone🤷♂️😂😂💜
You need to see the introduction to this really to get the back story on this,but while you're here, look for Rick James at the China club 👌5fingers😂😂😂

I knew that this would come, this is one of the funniest pieces ever
R.I.P. Charlie Murphy ❤️🩹💖
Everything about this is perfect.
haha Literally zero exaggeration. Gotta watch the extended interviews and stories. They are AMAZING LOL
Also, Charlie (RIP) was and is one of my all time favorite orators. Period haha. So great.
Charlie Murphy was a master raconteur.
