2002s Undercover Brother looked primed to make comic and consummate scene-stealer Eddie Griffin a bona fide movie star. The film was a commercial and critical success, but the expected sequels have not been forthcoming and Griffin has spent the ensuing years alternating between stand-up comedy and small but memorable roles in flashy fare like Norbit. Griffin is no stranger to bit parts: He made his film debut as Gas Station Attendent in manager/mentor Andrew Dice Clays concert film Dice Rules before playing characters like Ventriloquist in The Five Heartbeats, Messenger in Brain Donors and, of course, Guest at Kids Bachelor Party in House Party 3. From 1996 to 2000, Griffin co-starred opposite Malcolm Jamal-Warner in Malcolm & Eddie (a sitcom that was mercilessly mocked in the web series that inspired Undercover Brother.) Griffin recently released a DVD of his latest stand-up special, Eddie Griffin: You Can Tell Em I Said It. (Griffin appears at Jokerz for a run of shows that begins March 3.)
Eddie Griffin: You Can Tell Em I Said It (2011)
The A.V. Club: How do you think youve evolved as a stand-up over the last 20 years or so?
Eddie Griffin: Lets see, its gotten wittier, its gotten smarter, and the subject matter has gotten grittier.
AVC: What do you mean by grittier?
EG: Im taking more chances, daring to say what people think.
AVC: What kind of things do you think people think but are afraid to say for whatever reason?
EG: I think men are afraid to say that they would love to have Michelle Obama in their bed, but they think it.
AVC: Why would they be afraid to say that?
EG: You know, Secret Service showing up at your house, sh*t like that.....

If I’m going black I sure as hell ain’t starting there
LOL!
By George, I think you've discovered the line Laz would draw.
I guess I am really out of touch, but who or what is an “Eddie Griffin”? I’ve never heard of this guy. He seems to have delusions of adequacy and grandeur.
As Earl Stanley Gardner’s famous fictional criminal lawyer, Perry Mason, was to say: “You have assumed a fact not in evidence.”
Puke! Gag!
“First Yeti” LOL!
WELL SAID!
When it comes to hilarious abusive humor nobody — and I mean nobody — does a better or more thorough job of it than the Americans. Five minutes later and I am still chuckling...
"deaf, dumb and blind" ("men are afraid to say that they would love to have Michelle Obama in their bed")
I love my country, and if it would get her out of the White House...
...nah, I'd rather jump onto a grenade.
I’m not afraid to say it. I’m deathly afraid of visualizing it, though.
Thank you.
I'm not sure door #3 is the one we'd pick if we had the choice, Alex.
“all us chicks look the same in the dark.”
Maybe,but you sure don’t all smell the same in the dark.
All I did was read the title... And I threw up a little in my mouth
I guess being sex obsessed for years, these people have forgotten what top shelf even looks like
I have a king size Tempur Pedic bed.
I doubt her shelf ass would fit in my bed.
During my lifetime I've thought of many hideous things but that thought has never, ever entered my mind. Once, briefly, I did think what it would be like to bed Whoopie Goldberg...but it was very brief.
Man you are Sick
