Yeah, the jokes had a through-line from the 1980s to now, if you didn't like the jokes then you're not going to like them now. Yeah, they could have been updated more and there were some parts where I cringed, but hey, Eddie wasn't going the route to try to please everyone. Sometimes, you have to choose a path and stick to it, & that's what he did; he didn't veer away too much from the origin of the those characters. But, I hear you what you're saying.
Nah.
I loved the jokes THEN.
I just wanted more NOW.
Take those jokes and expand.
They didn't.
To me, the genius of artistic people is the ability to bridge gaps.
But you not as obnoxious as her fuckin ass that's the difference
Ha...depends on who you ask, I suppose.
Welp, I thought it was hilarious and loved it. Also, comedy is subjective. Oh well.
I ended up seeing that. Thank you, kind sir.
You're right about that.
I dont get your argument. The jokes were modernized.
Velvet Jones is now selling pussy on instagram
Mister Robinson is dealing with gentrification and stealing his neighbors amazon packages
Buckwheat is now performing on an american idol type show
Gumby is still a dick
I'm just starting to jigg... and I'm realizing how sorry it really was..brah
I think he wanted:
Velvet Jones to be a Christian minister now.
Mister Robinson to own his own loft in Tribeca, drinking lattes from Urber eats...
Buckwheat to get a haircut, get diction classes, and now have Ph.D.
& Gumby to be quiet and meek.
Dam right..brah
Again, I don't pretend to know the inside work of entertainment. I just know funny.
Have you ever seen a skit that puts the protagonist in a different setting, but the gist of it is still the same?
Well in this case, the gist (and the curve of the joke) is still the same. To me. (You're free to see it how you want.)
It's like watching Gilligan's Island in the late 70's and seeing the Globetrotters playing ball on the show:
Updated current event, same old premise.
Same old corny jokes. Just centered around something that is popular at the moment. (The Globetrotters)
That's the equivalent to the insta, gentrification, american idol example you posted.
Yes, Gumby is still a dick.
But even THAT style of Jewish asshole isn't the same as it was back then.
I moved from Brooklyn nearly 10 years ago and outside of crowds 50+ years old, jews didn't sound like that anymore.
That's just dishonest.
Just because we disagree doesn't mean that you have to imagine what I think.
That's why you don't think the SNL with Eddie Murphy is funny, because I just made a quick quip & you're being too serious. Lighten up.
It was funny
And because it's Eddie Murphy it still feels like he was underutilized
Very good performance

Shit old...good vintage shit...but I won't remember this shit...past tonight...brah
To each his own.....
I'm gonna throw it out there...
Show was a letdown.
Was wack as usual.

They just don't have imagination
They wasted 10 minutes on the presidential debate because it's all ppl usually watch that shit for
And they have Eddie Murphy
Why not have him come to the debate as Jesse Jackson?
Just have him crash the stage and do his keep hope alive thing that Eddie can do?
Him arguing with Baldwin and David? That's gold it'd end up being the 3 amigos type banter
The Mr Rogers was well done
Buckwheat was ok
But for buckwheat it's been like 30 years?
Buckwheat should've been himself but an established adult so imagine buckwheat as the mall Santa and someone recognizes him and he's like I don't do that anymore and eventually does all the Christmas songs?
Just the little things.
I'm sorry, but I was highly disappointed in the show too. I may be the only brotha on here who still watches the show (the political humor is still sharp and once in a while, a sketch is funny). But Eddie did rely on too much nostalgia for me too. The only funny skit he was in was the Christmas family one. I said before the show that the only reboot Eddie should have did was him turning himself into a white man in 2019.
He seemed to do the same two voices he did in the 80s.
Yea, yea...call me a coon. But last week's show was funnier overall to me...IMO.

Bruh...that Macy's skit from last week had me on the floor. If you have kids, you could relate.Damn man, I told my girl BOTH
of these statements!

Agreed..brah
Bitch...full of slabs..brah
murphy is still a tranny butt-buster (pause).
He gave the people what they wanted, mostly his old characters. Some skits where hits others missed. Overall a great show and great to see the comic legends on stage all together. Wish they would do a one night show at the Garden together and tape it for Netflix.
