*For those who don't know, this is a parody of a real 1960's bestselling book, and later a movie called, "Black Like Me".* The book was written in 1961 by a white man named John Howard Griffin, who made himself to look black to get a first-hand perspective of what black people experienced in the Deep South. A very brave and daring stunt. The movie, made in 1964, starred James Whitmore as Griffin.
Cheap Cooking Channel...I was 23 or 24..it was the start and finish of my acting career....literally sitting on set for over 12-15 hours, and being used for literally 5 minutes was very difficult...I did extra work for about 5 SNL skits for about $100 a pop...the day after filming this, I applied to graduate school and got my MA in Psychology..best decision I ever made..show biz was not a passion..so happy I found that out..
those really were the good 'ole days. glad i got my house, my boat, my vacation home, my mercedes, my supermodel wife, before it ended. thanks a lot obama!
I think the bank would still give Lionel Richie the money. He was a member of the Commodores, _and_ is among the best selling artists (~90 million records sold in his career) in the history of recorded music.
I love how its definitely got undertones of actual socio-political and racial issues , but its cranked up to absurdity. Comic genius. SNL is hit and miss for me. Sometimes you get gems like this but other times you just get filler sketches
It's based off of a book called "Black Like Me" by John Howard Griffin, who was a white guy who disguised himself as a black guy in documented how he was treated in the south in the late 50s when everyone thought he was black. It's a book that had a big impact on society, and is still referenced in anthropology courses and when discussing social issues today. The skit has those undertones of socio-political issues because it's a direct parody of a real situation dealing with socio-political issues.
It's interesting that this has had a life of its own, when it was a dig at a controversial 70s book "Black Like Me," where a white man posed as a black man to write a book about black culture.
In the early 90s there was a graphic novel called “White like She” about an old black man who’s consciousness is transferred into the body of a young white woman. Well worth the read if you like alternative comics.
The book "Black Like Me" was a serious sociology research project, but it had some funny bits. The guy goes to the South in black makeup to document how he would be treated as a Black man. There was a 'safe house' arranged on the edge of town owned by a sympathetic Jewish family. When he arrived, he was presented with black towels for his bath. Every one laughed explosively because it was such an absurd joke.
I'll never forgive Eddie Murphy for blowing the lid on this. Now I actually have to show ID before the loan officer gives me money for free.

The most gigantic irony, of course, is that half the population that LOOKS white DOES have some black ancestry. You never know til you send in that DNA . . . OMG, 5% Sub-Saharan African? Where did THAT come from?!!
Still remember this as if it was yesterday.
The way he read the hallmark cards at the start 😂
It’s crazy how this is still relevant 35 years later. Classic sketch
doodoobutter101 I hope he does an updated version tonight
Because of all the blackface stuff?
Yep
Ello Owu whiteface is not a thing and never will be history showed blackface as a way to demean blacks to promote stereotypes. HISTORY never showed whiteface that’s why it’s not offensive, blackface is offensive due to its history
@@dfredankey whiteface is a thing, its clearly a thing in the video. Its not offensive because its insanely hard to be racist towards white people. Source: my moms white.
Eddie's tight-ass walk is hilarious!
😂😂😂
The high knees really sell it
This is the best thing SNL ever did. Period.
The 2.9K who dislike this are just mad they wasn't invited to the bus party
Thats because their girl wants to party all the time :)
@@faisal181 dang their girl went without them
Faisal Their girl became Eddie’s girl. That’s why they disliked.
they weren't** not they wasn't. Where did you learn your grammar?
@@Danimal77 friends and family, good sir. Friends and family.
This is about a million times funnier than anything on SNL these days
H L Ridiculous comment. You seem pathologically close-minded and neurotic. Surprised you can enjoy comedy from any time period with such an aggressively negative attitude.
@@dantegood2195 You've diagnosed him as close-minded and neurotic from a single comment indicating you don't share the same sense of humour? Okay then.
Dante Goodman holy projection Batman!
@@dantegood2195 Serious or not, I thought your comment was funny.
If SNL did this today white people would cry about it! Lmao!
Never gets old! A true sketch gem! Only Eddie Murphy can pull this off!😂😂😂😂
Dave Chappelle can do this skit as well! Only Eddie and Dave can do this skit!😂😂😂😂
I'm just in tears, the hallmark card training had me done from the start lmbo
Hop Skip lol
When America didn't take itself so serious.
*Misses the hardcore social commentary*
White face? Lol
"seriously", not to be too serious.
like edith bunker always said, "THOSE WERE THE DAAAAYYYYSSS"
*gay marriage wasnt allowed*
Looked like Oates, from Hall & Oates.
Oates is someone I think would be a great trade to the black team in a racial draft. They can have Bryant and/or Greg Gumbel in exchange.
Romulus that boy is too soulful for the caucasian delegation
Nah Howard Stern’s producer Gary “Baba Booey” Dell’abate looks like Oates
😂😂😂
Fun fact Oates is part Moroccan; which could make him Arab, Berber, Jewish...
*For those who don't know, this is a parody of a real 1960's bestselling book, and later a movie called, "Black Like Me".*
The book was written in 1961 by a white man named John Howard Griffin, who made himself to look black to get a first-hand perspective of what black people experienced in the Deep South. A very brave and daring stunt. The movie, made in 1964, starred James Whitmore as Griffin.
Eddie is genius. Love him, totally.
@@Sherman350 what?
I remember watching this in '84. Laughed for days.This is when Eddie was on top of his game.
Two of my friends and i still call each other "silly negro"
One of my two all-time favorite SNL bits, the other being Matt Foley, motivational speaker.
You have to think a young kid from DC by the name of Dave Chappelle watch this one night and said "I can do this!"
This was a Paul Mooney sketch too.
Charles Murphy I instantly saw the connection
you spelled truthful wrong
The music on the bus has been stuck in my head for what feels like my entire life 🤣
The very last person in this video waving...that's me...lol....so long ago...took 12 hours to make that.....
Y'all had too much fun huh. Great work my brutha!
How old were you in this sketch and did you ever do anymore acting after this?
Cheap Cooking Channel...I was 23 or 24..it was the start and finish of my acting career....literally sitting on set for over 12-15 hours, and being used for literally 5 minutes was very difficult...I did extra work for about 5 SNL skits for about $100 a pop...the day after filming this, I applied to graduate school and got my MA in Psychology..best decision I ever made..show biz was not a passion..so happy I found that out..
@@edreid7872 oh cool! Thanks for responding! I always wonder what type of lives people who are extras lead. I am glad you had a good life!
Cheap Cooking Channel...I appreciate your interest...no one has ever asked me why I stopped..thanks..
Too many people forget how absolutely hilarious Eddie Murphy is
*was
Charlie. Charlie.
Well, it has been a long time since he was funny. After all the 2000's family movie flops he made, he just, faded away.
he made millions and millions from shrek and probably doesn't have to do shit anymore
Odyssey Project it's because of beverly hills cop
Damn i miss those days of free newspaper, bus parties and all the money you want with no loan. Eddie Murphy, you rascal
lmaooooo
Mr Team Guy 🤣
those really were the good 'ole days. glad i got my house, my boat, my vacation home, my mercedes, my supermodel wife, before it ended. thanks a lot obama!
"...they give things to each other for free..." 😅😂
"and I read a whole bunch of Hallmark cards" broke me 😂 😂 😂
One of the most talented comedians of all time.. brilliant
He walks like a Monty Python character. Lol
Ken Masters ministry of silly walks
Yes he does!
I love Eddie Murphy. I loved watching Beverly Hills Cop when I was a kid.
They didn't make him white. They made him Lionel Richie.
No. As someone said earlier in the comments: Ned Flanders!
I think the bank would still give Lionel Richie the money. He was a member of the Commodores, _and_ is among the best selling artists (~90 million records sold in his career) in the history of recorded music.
Lionel richie does not have straight hair, that face shape or bone structure and his skin is not that light.
HELLO
Omio Rahman: “Is it me you’re looking for”. -LR
Hilarious, and obviously Chapelle saw it back in the day...
Ryan Chase
Michael Che as well
the premise was AWESOME. i just wish he had made more out of it. there was a lot of potential left
"That's right." Still quote this whenever I need to confirm anything.
I love how its definitely got undertones of actual socio-political and racial issues , but its cranked up to absurdity. Comic genius. SNL is hit and miss for me. Sometimes you get gems like this but other times you just get filler sketches
That’s funny, most of their sketches these days feel like filler…
Can you share some of your white privilege with me?
That's what I love about SNL, when the gems shine on SNL, they REALLY shine.
That is a lot of words for funny.
It's based off of a book called "Black Like Me" by John Howard Griffin, who was a white guy who disguised himself as a black guy in documented how he was treated in the south in the late 50s when everyone thought he was black. It's a book that had a big impact on society, and is still referenced in anthropology courses and when discussing social issues today.
The skit has those undertones of socio-political issues because it's a direct parody of a real situation dealing with socio-political issues.
True comic genius -- real humor without ever being malicious about it. Talent!
It's interesting that this has had a life of its own, when it was a dig at a controversial 70s book "Black Like Me," where a white man posed as a black man to write a book about black culture.
Excellent.... I kept looking for a comment that referenced the book!
In the early 90s there was a graphic novel called “White like She” about an old black man who’s consciousness is transferred into the body of a young white woman. Well worth the read if you like alternative comics.
I feel like in a less racist world this sketch would be just as controversial as the book.
The book "Black Like Me" was a serious sociology research project, but it had some funny bits. The guy goes to the South in black makeup to document how he would be treated as a Black man. There was a 'safe house' arranged on the edge of town owned by a sympathetic Jewish family. When he arrived, he was presented with black towels for his bath. Every one laughed explosively because it was such an absurd joke.
Yes we know that
Seeing Charlie at 5:55 was GREASE on an already classic epic comedy sketch..
5:00 Charlie Murphy RIP I miss him.
I was about to mention the same thing! (In Chappelle Rick James voice) CHARLIE MURPHY!
You dont even know him
RIP
