We understood all the humor. What exactly in this move would represent 'black culture' anyway? I'm a Gen X'r. I don't think the younger generations carry the same sense of humor. They're very sensitive when it comes to sexual jokes, and heated debates like the Barber Shop scenes. That's how most men debate sports, not just black culture.

    Just to provide a little bit of context, "Coming to America" is a movie at the tail end of Eddie Murphy's magical 80s run. From 1980 or so to about 1988, he was on a tear. He was on "Saturday Night Live" in the early eighties (some even said he literally saved the show), then he had a string of movies that may be considered classics: "48 Hours", "Trading Places" ( IMHO one of the finest comedies ever made), "Beverly Hills Cop", "The Golden Child", "Beverly Hills Cop 2" and then "Coming to America". Apart from "The Golden Child", all the other movies were blockbusters. And they still hold up pretty well. It was just a miraculous run. I mean, Eddie is still a big star today but in the early eighties, man, he was just something else......

      Eddie Murphy did save SNL in the early 1980s. Season six was (mostly) crap, thanks to the new showrunner at the time, Jean Doumanian, who didn't understand comedy and got outside help from Woody Allen, whose comedy is vastly different from SNL's brand at the time. Add to the fact that Jean turned down a lot of up-and-coming talent (including Paul "Pee Wee Herman" Reubens, John Goodman, a young Jim Carrey, Cassandra Peterson, Marjorie Gross and Sandra Bernhardt, among others), and the fact that ABC had a sketch series called "Fridays" that actually was funnier than SNL was at the time (even if most of the jokes were drug-based humor) and you have a reason why people feel that SNL's best years were between 1975 and spring of 1980.

Arsenio played the preacher, one of the barbers, the woman who wanted to tear into both guys in the club. 17:49 the local McDonald’s actually thought McDowells was a real restaurant opening up and the owner had threatened a lawsuit. 20:15 Louie Anderson got the role cause Paramount made Eddie and Arsenio choose a white comedian to play in the movie. 34:38 he was in the tv show ER his name is Eriq La Salle. He was also in Logan as the father of the family hauling horses that Logan, Professor X and Laura stayed the night with. When Cleo tripped up the stairs it wasn’t in the script but they kept it in cause it made the scene funnier.

    Eddie Murphy played like 4 characters in this (including the Jewish barber shop guy). So did Arsenio. Lisa's boyfriend was Eriq LaSalle who starred in ER. Good catch on the Trading Places Easter egg. And yes that was Sam Jackson, pre-fame, playing a robber. Louie Anderson (the fat white McDowell's employee) was in this bc the production company said it needed at least 1 white character. Eddie knew Louie from doing standup so he gave him that part. The big dance scene at the beginning in Africa was sort of an hommage to Michael Jackson's Thriller video. Both of which were directed by John Landis.

      But, since she wasn't willing to speak up and voice her opinion, there was nothing for him to work with there... she was basically a human trained like a dog (and only God knows when she stopped barking after she left the room).

    18:57 little bit of fun trivia, Darryl here is played by Eriq LaSalle, who played the father of the unfortunate family in "Logan" that invited Logan, Charles, and Laura to their home for dinner and a night's rest.
    Edit: and you did later realize he seemed familiar. He was also a leading star on ER, so you may also have recognized him from that if you watched it.
