Watched the SNL episode with Eddie Murphy. He didn’t do ANY politics and made every sketch he was in...funny! A true legend who made the other cast members look like complete amateurs. Please watch these two bits:
North Pole: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBqvPvMfr0E
Christmas Dinner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxVXYp2KIeE

Everybody told me, you’d better not go to Texas, they’ll f you up!

I went to Texas, just looking for racism....

I got off the plane, walked up, got up, walked up, my bag. All my black s... on, black leather, big ass medallion and s... on like this.

Little white dude walk up and say:
“This your bag?”

I said: “Yes, it my f...kin’ bag! Why, m...........r? A black man can’t have a suitcase?”

And the dude was like:
“What the f....’s wrong with this guy?”

It wasn’t that bad at all.

The North Pole skit is priceless...his character had two explicit jokes that played on racial and sexist stereotypes and the jokes were very funny. Somehow, I suspect the current woke cast didn’t like the humor but Eddie made it work and then some.

Why should he regret them? Instead he (and all of us) should be sad that people today are such wussies.

Trading Places is a great example of what good entertainment can do...it makes you laugh AND it makes you think without being preachy. You start out hating the Dukes and Louis and think Valentine is a dirtbag. You end up hating the Dukes and loving Louis and Valentine.

I know it is fashionable to say "you couldn't do that today," but..well...

...you probably couldn't do it, and that is a sad testimony on the state of America.

Hopefully, Eddie Murphy (whose politics I don't know) can help usher in an era where we can laugh without being treated like a war criminal.

Yup. The News Update punks looked very nervous when he was doing the Gumby bit. They just saw how humour is done and seemed to be scared by it.

I loved it.

We used to go downtown beating up f@ggots. We’d yell out “Hey, f@ggot!” People forget, f@ggots are dudes, man. They’ll beat your @$$. You know how embarrassing it is to get your @$$ beat by a f@ggot?

He just portrayed Rudy Ray Moore in a movie that is getting critical nominations.

Rudy died about a decade ago but he wouldn’t have apologized in the cancel culture.
