get out of here ;-)....I was kinda applauding the musical quality of the song...as we all know, nothing is easy when it comes to playing soul and funk...then I thought "must be a play-back"....then I read your comment....so they will really have done this live on the set, playing with all those costumes, the breaks, the choreography....wild stuff, but very funny
We just bought a new house that came with a hot tub. I started singing this today to my family. Then I showed this clip to my kids. My daughter asked me if I was going to sing this every time we use it. Yes, kiddo. Yes I am.
LOL!! Similar thing happened to me, & my 10 yr old daughter looked at me like I’d lost my mind. (Then I showed her this clip.) It’s strange how “Hot Tub” by Eddie Murphy/James Brown sticks in your head.
Years ago, our local video store had a VHS steep called the best of Eddie Murphy on Saturday night live. So I played it for my kids who at the time 9,10,and 13 years old. It was all the skits And characters that Eddie had done. We were literally crying and choking in laughter. Decades later, when they come in for the holidays, we can pull this clip and others out & still laugh out loud! Watching Eddie host SNL on Christmas 2019 it is one of the best. It was the first Christmas after my father had passed… We needed to laugh out loud. My kids are now 30, 31 and 33.
That was the first Christmas after my Mom passed earlier that year (glad she didn't have to pass alone like many who died the next year). Thank you for sharing this story. 💜🙏🏻 My Mon liked Eddie too. 😊
Definitely one of Eddie's funniest SNL skits. I saw it live that night and was on the floor laughing. But then he did Stevie Wonder and once again I hit the floor rolling in laughter. Such a great comedic talent!
Remember the camera ad they did with Stevie? They had Stevie playing tennis and shooting pics with a camera -- one of the funniest bits they ever did with a celebrity -- Wonder was a GREAT sport about it!
This was an era in the show’s history when SNL was closest to death. Lorne had left and Dick Ebersol was running it into the ground. Yet, one good choice kept it alive. Casting 19-year-old Eddie Murphy saved SNL. He single-handily carried the show through it’s darkest period and made a permanent mark on TV history.
Wow thanks for this knowledge. I always thought it was unlike Lorne to hire Eddie Murphy imho. Now it makes sense. Thanks also for giving credit where it’s due!
Its gon make ya sweat ha!!! 😁😅 This makes me wish I was living in that era. They had the best music, people were more real back in the day. Be bLessed to all those who've paved the way for us!!!
Still one of the funniest things ever created. That "Well, well, well..." with the pause, is about as brilliant as any piece of comedy I've ever seen on SNL.
I'll always enjoy Eddie's skits, but at the same time, every time I watch current SNL or a Will Farrel abortion, I wonder if maybe he should have just let it die.
He will NEVER host SNL or be back again. He was on for the 40th Anniversary I think and it was awkward! He has something against them, I think something happened within his time on the show. Someone will clarify what happened I’m sure
Eddie hosted as far as I know only in Dec, 1984. Famous for that classic Mr. White skit. ruclips.net/video/l_LeJfn_qW0/видео.html And I think a big factor for Eddie only returning 1x since '84 and also since Lorne Micheals came back as the show's "Boss" was this. A skit on "Weekend Update" in the mid/late '90's in which David Spade made a joke that Eddie Murphy's career was "done. " In that period Murphy had several of his films that were disappointing at the box office included a couple that bombed. Not to mention he got arrested in that same period for soliciting a prostitute as well after his marriage to his 1st wife crumbled. I am sure someone else here can confirm. That the general view of it.
Afaik, Murphy is rather hostile to returning since the aforementioned Spade weekend update made fun of him and He took it rather personally since he was so crucial to keeping SNL afloat during his time on the show.
Why Is My Face So Ashy he’s indeed never been back and won’t return. I saw an interview some years ago where he mentioned a weekend update skit wherein Spade really went for the jugular and made fun of his kids or something. Eddie took it personally and said (I believe this was an interview on one of those famous breakfast club shows on radio/satellite) he just didn’t feel welcome and that it was he that held that show off the precipice when Lorne left and Ebersole was killing it. Anyway maybe some day
I'm so grateful to have seen this when it aired back in 1983, I was fifteen years old. I remember doing all of Eddie's impersonations... everyone was. That's how iconic he was in that moment.
I was fifteen too this was one the few times i watched SNL back then Eddie was one of the last of the good cast after this they started going downhill in my opinion
💯 Anybody remember that one where Eddie was showing Stevie Wonder how to act like Stevie? And the Jesse Jackson slow jam one was really good. I used to tape alot of snl on our new *BETAMAX *. 😁
Silver 2801 how about mr. Rogers skit!! Knock knock .. this is how we answer the door in my neighbor hood boys and girls .. “ who the f$?! Is it?!!!”Haha so funny
For me my favorite will always be Buckwheat Kicks the Bucket. In this Buckwheat gets assassinated by John David Stubbs also played by Eddie Murphy; pure comedy gold.
This skit was one of the most original, entertaining, musical, and hilarious bits ever written. Just as fun to watch it now as it was when I first saw it over 35 years ago.
🤔1983....I was 9... I remember this!!!! Been looking at Eddie Murphy's skits after he hosted after 35yrs...That man brought SNL back to life once again!!!
I think Eddie admitted later that in the skit the water was actually Luke warm to almost cold on purpose so he could do the JB scream accurately as a shock when he first touched it 😂
Two and a half minutes of absolute genius. Perfect impression, perfect execution and a respectful parody of James Brown doing his thang . . . I too quote this after all this time!
Should i get in the hot tub ?! yeah!! will it make me sweat?! yeah!! should i get in the hot tub?! yeah!! Will it make me wet?! Yeah!! well well well.....
This was the one I wanted him to redo on SNL soooooooo bad. My fav, I saw this when I was three or four thinking he had my mama wig on. Loved him ever since.
I haven't watched this in ages but it's one of my favorite SNL skits! Just now however I noticed that towards the end of the song Eddie Murphy almost cracks up and breaks character and I I never noticed it before and I just had a good laugh over it
I don't remember the first time I saw this, but I do remember the song stuck with me. I'm currently 37 and everytime I sit in a tub of hot water, I mentally or out loud sing "too hot, too hot in the hottub, COOL it down!!" 😂😂😂😂😂
Good thing because on the DVD version they cut out “Tyrone Green And His Reggae Band” which was my favorite skit!…”Kill The White People,yeah…but buy my record first” 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
The best thing about this is listening to the crowd, they were torn between being impressed with Eddie's perfect impression of James Brown and laughing.
Absolute brilliance. EVERY time I saw JB live, I always thought of this sketch & smiled. Eddie captured the essence of James..."well, well, well...(pause)"...LOL. As good as it gets.
That was almost 20 years ago and that movie wasn't all that great. As I got older and I went back and watched his movies, they all portray him as some sort of hyper-masculine douchebag. @@bozzwick
Will it make sweat? Yeah! Will it make me wet? Yeah! Well well well....😂 I remember seeing this as a kid with my sister when it first aired! Today she’s 50. I’m 47. To this day we still say well well well & die laughing!
The guy playing the saxophone in the back right corner is jazz legend Michael Brecker!
I wondered if that were so, it's a good bet that his brother Randy is the trumpet next to him.
Hiram Bullock on guitar if I’m right!
Amazing how many legendary musicians were in on goofing around

Over 40 years old and it's still just as funny. Every time I get in my hot tub all I can do is laugh like it's a inside joke
i loved watching him and Dr Joyce Brothers in the celebrity hot tub, good God yall. It is so absurd that it makes it hysterical
It's because it is funny as f. Such a classic!!!!!!
Sooooooo remember this skit! When SNL WAS THE BEST!
@@tonyajordan2702 It’s only fitting that his first guest on Celebrity Hot Tub was a psychiatrist because this skit was insane!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I do the same thing all the while singing this song
Top ten clip by far, I can’t get into a hottub without doing this ceremony.
We just bought a new house that came with a hot tub. I started singing this today to my family. Then I showed this clip to my kids. My daughter asked me if I was going to sing this every time we use it. Yes, kiddo. Yes I am.

Amazing
The best part is "Aaaaaah too hot in the hot tube! Burnt my leg! Make it cooler!". 😜🤣
I thought he said burnt my bag
I love that part😂
My favorite part is 1:07 when he puts his foot into the water and says heyyyyy Too Hot in the hot tube. LOL
My favorite part is when the band cools the water with their instruments!
@@VINCENTBALLER 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I still to this day feel that the line was un scripted which made it even funnier

Love that episode ❤
I still want to see the segment with Dr. Joyce Brothers 🤣
Hands down THEE best James Brown impression ever! Eddie Murphy nails every little idiosyncrasy of James Brown’s behaviour!
Endless years of watching Brown growing up and probably dancing in the living room.

And when Eddie left, Joe went with him in solidarity.
I will now do this before entering a hot tub

You get in that hot tub then! 😂💟
Yeah, do it bruh!!
Man let tell once its lock, you see the hot tab going like a ferrywheel
Welcome to the club 😂
Fun fact... the saxophone player on the far right is Michael Brecker, arguably the most influential sax player of the last 50 years.
Randy and Michael Brecker, serious skills right there
I love Michael Brecker
I always like the guy who played with Buddy Rich big band.
He had like curly fro like hair, white guy. He was a beast too
@@scottpitner4298 Steve Marcus! Great player too
@@scottpitner4298you mean Walt Weiskopf
Still one of the funniest things ever created. That "Well, well, well..." with the pause, is about as brilliant as any piece of comedy I've ever seen on SNL.
"What the F*ck is James is talking about?" "I don't know, he's paying us, keep singing. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" 🤣😂🤣😂
That's what makes it so funny. Jjames Brown would make a song with about ten words, and all his songs would sound the same
😂😂😂😂😂
Ahahaheyyy!!!!
“Heyyyyyyyy! That’s a James Brown lyric. He wrote that sh*t.”
Movin?!! YEAH!!! Groovin’??!! YEAH!!! 🤣
James Brown got a fun jab at Murphy in the song Living in America, James Brown has a lyric near the end 'Eddie Murphy, eat your heart out'.
whenever my dad and I pass by a hot tub we start quoting this at each other
Elizabeth Powell
Hahahahahaha, nice one!
😂😂 good times
me and my mom did the same thing when she was alive. We cracked up! Good memories!
Ha my brother and I do the same thing:
Me: Should I get in the hot tub?
Bro: yeah!
Me: will it make me wet?
Bro: ya
HAAAYYYY
Elizabeth Powell 🤣🤣❤️❤️
CLASSIC.
Nothing today even remotely compares to this age of SNL. These youngsters today don’t know nothin’ ‘bout this right here. 🤣
Cecily Strong, getting into a vat of wine, playing Jeanine Pirro, singing My Way, was pretty close.
@@janeentumbao8690 🤣🤣🤣
The synchronized movements of the band always make me laugh. That's just plain cool! The whole sketch is genius.
They're doing a great job faking it too!
Sounds like a REAL JAMES BROWN JAM!
Too hot in the hot tub, gotta cool it down 😂
One of Eddie Murphy's funnier SNL skits. Eddie is one of our living comedic legends!
I remember watching this with my dad when I was a kid. We were laughing so hard, we had tears. So hilarious.
Same here.
same my dad had recorded it on vhs. my fave skit Eddie did was the performance at that press conference. singing kill the white people. lol
Yes
This one STILL makes tears roll down my face every time!
Spot on James brown impression
Eddie Murphy basically saved SNL in the 80s
Yep
I'll always enjoy Eddie's skits, but at the same time, every time I watch current SNL or a Will Farrel abortion, I wonder if maybe he should have just let it die.
saved and killed it cause he came as fast as he went and laruren micheals threw the baby out with the bathwater after that.
@@hossesarseif it had died back then we wouldn’t have gotten the GOAT era in the 90s with Farley, Hartman, Carvey etc.
"HERE I GO IN DA HOT TUB...AYYAAHHHH...TOO HOT 🔥 BURNT MY FLESH" 😂😂
Eddie Murphy saved this show
very true. show would have been canceled without him
fuckin Joe Piscopo save the show and the cast of 1980.
Both eddie and joe piscopo saved this show titans of comedy
joe piscopo and eddie murphy
A classic
Dr. Joyce Brothers in the tub with him at the end is just hilarious!! 😆
😂😂😂😂
I love it when he gets electrocuted at the end when he picks up the mic with his wet hand Lolololol omg the literal tears of laughter over here.
😂😂😂😂
So happy the classics are back!
they already uploaded this skit 5 year agoand its still on the channel lol. this channel id demented
Every time I've gotten into a hot tub since the 80's I sing this song 😂 get in the wata!
You must be a Tool fan
I love when the all the musicians start fanning the hot tub with their instruments😂😂
My favorite SNL skit...never gets cold.
That's cuz it's too hot in the hot tub!

This skit is pure magic. I love James Brown and Eddie. When I hurt my back I would sing, "get up, get on up, I'm a sex Machine-ah" :D
This bit never gets old.
One of the greatest skits ever on Saturday Night Live....My opinion!!😂😂😂😎
Fact! 😁
EEEHHHVVURRR!!!
Mr. Robinson's neighborhood and Buckwheat makes an album ranked up there with the JB skit!
David L. Tucker mine to. Definitely top 5

I've been playing this in my head ever since I saw it live. The Murphy years were so awesome
Probably the first ever SNL sketch to make me laugh out loud! And still their most memorable sketch ever. 😂
Man, the 80s was so much fun. I feel like we've all forgotten how to have fun and just be silly once in a while.
This skit was one of the most original, entertaining, musical, and hilarious bits ever written. Just as fun to watch it now as it was when I first saw it over 35 years ago.
It also captured the mannerisms of not just James Brown, but even James Brown’s band!
I miss seeing Eddie Murphy in things. What a talent
He is still doing things.
I love the dance breakdown after he's like well, well, well 😂😂😂

I love the smirk after that 😂
He almost laughs!

Eddie ruled the 80's. Be it TV, standup or the movies, everything he touched turned into gold.
I think Eddie admitted later that in the skit the water was actually Luke warm to almost cold on purpose so he could do the JB scream accurately as a shock when he first touched it 😂
Where did he admit this? Link? Sounds like an internet made up story.
Two and a half minutes of absolute genius. Perfect impression, perfect execution and a respectful parody of James Brown doing his thang . . . I too quote this after all this time!
Oh my Gawd how l remember my husband and l rolling laughing at this. Eddie is a genius on SNL.
Just unbelievable. Eddie was the best. Farley a close second. But Eddie was the best. 😂😂

Love when he grabs the Mike at the end and gets an electric shock. Lol
I had that video on VHS back in the 80s. I've tried to find it on Blue-Ray. Eddie did a great impression of James Brown. "Classic!"
I'm here cause of what this legend did on SNL last night. I wasnt born when this aired. His impersonation is perfect! And he had great legs!
This was the only character I was missing in his return.
A little to out of shape for it now
that might have to do with the fact James Brown died in 2006
E.M does the best J.B impression!!!
Rub a dub. In the hot tub! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Love the classics!
Heeeeeeeeyyyyy to hot in the hot tub !!!!!!!!!!😭 priceless
I can’t stop laughing, wipes tears from my eyes!

Not many singers can imitate JB because you have to be funky AF but Eddie crushes it like a boss.
This and van down by the river are the best SNL sketches of all time.
One of the best skits 😂😂😂
Between this and Buckwheat Sings, Eddie Murphy makes us burst out laughing every single time. STILL funny decades later.
I remeber this like it was yesterday.
Found my new ringtone... I’ll still keep *Soul-Glo* for some folks tho...
Whomever was on the drums was killing it! It felt like a James Brown groove!!!
That's the infamous Clint Smith of Charlie Murphy "give me more" fame doing the intro!
