Chapelle’s Show became instantly quotable. I mean instantly. The next day at school (I was a junior when it first aired) it was immediately part of the lexicon. Witnessing that show become a cultural icon was one of the coolest things I saw growing up. It was like Nirvana or something like that. Became a part of the American milieu instantly.

I can confirm, I was in hs when these skits debuted. "I'm Rick James Bitch" was a thing followed by "WHAT AM I GON DO BOUT MUH LEGS"

I was in college when that aired. Me and my boy would always call out in lab "Charlie Murphy" and the response was always "Darknesses" it was so random, we'd always have people cracking up. We really pissed the profs off when we'd yell "I'm rick james bitch".

"That's the best one yet, innit?" - Daz *responding to every Chappelle skit* 🤣

For people who dont know Eddie Murphy in the1980s had a large entourage of people who hung around with him Most of them were his family and friends that worked for him. Charlie was Eddies security , His brother Vernon was his security Eddies cousin "Big Larry" was also his security. Eddies Uncle Ray was always with them .

The sight of his dead legs dragging always kills me haha

Rick James was a different breed. Criminally underrated musician his music is incredible!!!

"Habitual line stepper" is the line that has actually lasted longer, people still use that for people that always line step.

Charlie Murphy was a writer for the show,that's how they knew the Stories

The "I'm Rick James" line actually originated from an appearance at the BET Awards on the BET (Black Entertainment Television) network. James was receiving a lifetime achievement award and ended his acceptance speech with, "And to the woman in the back who didn't know me, I'm Rick James, Bitch!" Edit: Enough. I misremembered the chronology because I'm old and probably saw the episode in reruns. I'll leave the original comment for the replies.

I remember Bill Burr and other comics saying that they practically forced Charlie to eventually do Stand Up, because he was so funny.

Rick is an habitual line-stepper. I love that line and will remember it when needed.

That’s not the whole story. There’s probably a part 2 to it! Glad y’all were able to react to it

"I'm Rick James, bitch!" was so popular Chappelle has this whole bit in one of his specials about how people would randomly come up and say it to me, in public, in front of his family. It's a longer bit that's hilarious

I never laughed so hard as I did to that segment. It’s was apex brilliant comedy then and is apex brilliant comedy now. RIP Charlie Murphy and Rick James, and thanks for this legendary comic moment. Cheers, guys!!!

i still use the term "Habitual linestepper" to this day xD Charlie's a legend

Charlie Murphy, god rest his soul, was the best story teller man. He's got another one where he tells a story about a friend of theirs that was a nuisance while drunk. Captivating sh*t.

These are true stories too. I met charlie Murphy at his show,shook his hand and got an autographed book. He's shorter but scarier irl. RIP G. He,like Patrice was reaching the peak before he died

I was in a bar a week after this skit came out, and when "Superfreak" came on over the jukebox, spontaneously every in the bar said "I'm Rick James Bitch!".

I love how Charlie makes a point to "elevate" his brother. Even after Eddie had become the hugest star in the world, here's his big brother, letting you know that Eddie is "a lot more compassionate," or that Eddie didn't fuck around with the party scene. And then it makes me just so fuckin SAD, because Charlie's not around anymore to be his little brother's biggest supporter. There's another true Hollywood Story from Charlie Murphy regarding a guy (whose name I will not reveal, but you can read Charlie's lips when he's telling the story) who got shit-faced drunk and forced his way into Eddie's home late one night. There's another story about Charlie and his crew lining up for hot dogs/franks outside of a club. And I don't know why we never see it, but there's a portion of Charlie's Rick James stories where he's hanging out at Rick's house all weekend, everyone's partying non-stop, and Rick got on the house intercom to announce that none of the women there were to have sex with Charlie Murphy, and they would be fired if they did. OH! And there was a story about Charlie and Eddie and Uncle Ray and the whole gang going out to a restaurant, and Darryl Stingley was there, and he started talking some shit. So Charlie had to go over there and straighten him out. I haven't seen THAT story since it aired.

Sooooo not surprised this has over 74k views... Chappelle's Best!!!... "Chahley Murphayyy!!!" *Bammm* "Unityyyyy!" 🤪🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I remember living in the barracks in Alaska when this show was on, everyone walked around saying that to each other. Everyone either watched Chappelle Show or South Park or both in the Barracks.

I salute you blokes! I love the channel and your Chapelle reactions. RIP Charlie Murphy, he was a great addition to Chapelles' show and is missed. Keep up the good reactions my friends!!

I have a few family members who worked with Rick James as sound engineers in the '80s,and they both said he was one of the nicest guys ever.☺️

I've been saying "I'm Rick James" since I was like 15. This sketch was the funniest thing I had ever seen up to that age.

Charlie Murphy was a cast member of the Chappelle Show and he would tell Chappelle, Neal Brennan, Donell Rawlings and the rest of the writers/cast these stories, so they made sketches out of them.

I love the references of Eddie Murphy's stand up comedy show "Delirious" and Rick James song"You're as cold as ice"😂😂❤️

I literally have to watch this once a week. One of my favorite bits, and one of my favorite reactions. Much love from St. George, UT, USA

OMG YES!!! You guys finally did it! Possibly the greatest skit in sketch show history. Dave Chappelle is the GOAT!

"F*#k your couch" was what everybody in my high school said when this came out

Chappelle wasn't around back then. These stories are from the early to mid 80's. Charlie Murphy was part of the Chappelle show cast, and he would tell these wild stories, then Dave came up with the idea of doing them as sketches. I agree, the Rick James story definitely trumps the Prince story 😆

I wonder why youtube doesn't have the ending to this skit, the last part of the story is the best part of this skit

Love some Charlie. Rest easy bro. For anyone who doesn't know, Charlie did martial arts for years and was even his brother"s body guard for some years. Think he mentioned it in the other skit. He also talked about it in an interview I watched. That's why that kick he did was so fluid.

There is a third section to this…. features the GREATEST SLAP IN THE HISTORY OF COMEDY lol

I never forget when Rick James said that to a young lady back stage at the BET Awards.Thats how that saying became popular. She asked someone who he was? That pissed him off that she didnt know who he was. So when he got out on stage for an award he says " Yeah Im Rick James Bitch"! The audiance was shocked because they didnt know what had happened.Then everyone started to laugh.lol That was the talk of the town the next day.And I guess the rest is history.I may be missing a small bit of it but this is pretty much what happened 🤣🤣

I can confirm me and my friends used to walk around middle school saying “I’m Rick James bitch” and “fuck yo couch” allllll the time lol

Yall are the GOATS. This was the skit I been waiting on. Such a classic episode. 🔥🔥🔥

Good react, gents!! As others have said, there's one more portion to this story which is cut from the KZread version and I hope you guys have had a chance to watch it. 2 Years on but just an FYI: according to one of Charlie Murphy's stand up sets - the whole reason Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories became a segment, was because he'd be telling Chappelle and the people on the show these actual stories. And they'd all be laughing, hard. Then after a particular story Chappelle said: "Hey, we should make this into a sketch". Charlie's initial reaction was: "Sketch? Motherf***er this is my life, the f*** you mean a 'sketch'?!" Then Chappelle helped him flesh it out and Charlie Murphy realised: "My life is a sketch"

These depictions came about because Charlie Murphy was working on the show and would often tell these crazy stories during lunch times. Dave decided that they had to heard and who better to tell them than the man himself. Charlie lived a crazy life that's for sure!

You missed the best part. The finale! “What do the five fingers say to the face? Slap!”

Every time i watch this and Charlie Murphy says "wrong, wrong". I almost die laughing.

Thank you guys. Charlie's stories were the greatest.

7:32 OMG that dude on the far right white shirt his laughter is too contagious, my eyes are watery no ROFL! XD

The Prince skit was so real, Prince actually used the shot of Dave dressed as him with the plate of pancakes for the cover of Breakfast Can Wait.

"I'm Rick James bitch!" Was huge in the states for years.

Whent to a club and had an argument with Rick James and crew about a booth close to the dance floor/ stage that we took before them. He was willing to compromise. We worked it out and shared three booths. He bought drinks, we bought drinks. It was historic for us.

RIP Charlie Murphy

Right around that time (when Charlie was telling these stories) some friends of mine went to see him doing stand-up (or telling stories). The opening comic? Bill Burr. Prince put out a single and he used a photo of Dave as him for the cover. "Breakfast Can Wait" is the title.
