The moment when Eddie realises he's confused "prescription" with "subscription" and struggles to hold it together was classic.

That's because we've progressed enough as a society that the line wouldn't read the same way now. If you notice, he quickly shuts down her homophobia with a comeback. Within the context of the early 80s, this exchange would've been read by gay people as the sketch writing actually sticking up for them by indirectly calling out someone saying something homophobic. The humor was in her being shut down, not in the homophobic thing she said in and of itself. But in our era, the exact same exchange would be cringe because we'd expect a much harder shut down of such a statement, or a much clearer indication that the homophobe is the butt of the joke rather than the gay person. In the early 80s though, any line on TV openly defending gay people was a very bold act of progressive defiance against the cultural zeitgeist of Reagan's America.

I thought I had seen ALL of Eddie Murphy's skits/characters on Saturday Night Live, but NEVER knew of/saw this one. I'm glad that some of you on here have pointed out that In Living Color STOLE this idea for the 'Men On Film' sketches that they would do 7 or 8 years later. I don't really mind that In Living Color "borrowed" this concept, but a lot of people associated with In Living Color acted as if everything they did was groundbreaking and never been done before on TV(they'd point to the Men On Film sketch as an example), when the truth is, Saturday Night Live did it years before them.

You have to admit that it is funny/interesting that Eddie Murphy and 2 white guys came up with a lot of his skits. @King Sports I think its the Wayans Brothers and their fans saying that the Wayans came up with Eddie Murphy's Saturday Night Live stuff. I saw an EXTENSIVE article written about Eddie Murphy's 4 seasons on SNL, and a lot of the stuff he did came from Barry Blaustein, David Sheffield and Eddie working together. In my opinion, the Wayans Brothers and In Living Color fans are just making excuses for the fact that the Men On Films idea was "borrowed" from this Dion and Blair sketch, the Wayans weren't the originators like they always claimed to be.

Eddie is a legend.
