I like David Spade . Him and Chris Farley are two of my top favorite movie makers to laugh to. Eddie Murphy has poked fun at many people during his comedic years . I like Eddie, but he cannot take a joke... Mr. Rogers could!
Eddie made his whole comedic career making fun of EVERYONE! He did vicious put downs on Garrett Morris, made a quip bout Richard Pryor’s accident, making fun of Liberace’s sexuality, Michael Jackson, James Brown’s speech pattern, etc all on SNL. He seems to be someone that can dish it out but can’t take it. Kinda sad really.
Woah, give the man credit where credit is due. Eddie Murphy was part of 48 hours AND Another 48 Hours. 48 is bigger than 40 and 48 twice is bigly more than 40. So there’s that.
What are you talking about, he just said “fuck Tom Petty”? He didn’t try to fight him, he didn’t try to get the song taken off the airwaves or any of that, it’s a pretty Pat for the course response.
wow some nonepistemologist has gotta be right fcku this shti except youtube doesn't let people say that any more probably because in 40 years charles will want to call you on it huh charles you like baio charles? charles in charge charles? eeeeeeeey
He has been a trainwreck in every of his "comedy" movies. All of them are toilet humor, burps humor, buggers humor... The dude has this 6 years old kids humor that even I couldn't like at that age. He should have always been a stand up comedian but dude thinks too high of himself, in his mind he is Hollywood material only.
@@harryhanz1690 Not questioning his money earning abilities but his "artistic" ones. Garbage sells, not doubt about it, but that doesn´t mean garbage is good.
@@karlimo4034 yeah but Dr. Dolittle, despite fitting your description perfectly. has to be a family movie comedy classic. It's got plenty of heart and originality to counter all the somewhat cliche' toilet humor, which still hits pretty hard imo.
Sensitivity is something I have a hard time grasping. I try to see where he is coming from but honestly just laugh that a grown man gets upset that easily.
I'm guessing Murphy had some other previous petty issue with Petty and assumed the song was being negative. Possibly because Murphy did a less than flattering skit or joke about Petty and assumed it was a payback dis. Music has plenty of epic examples, From Lynyrd Skinner and Neil Young, to Toby Keith and the Dixie Chicks.
@@lennychorn147Neil Young is an agitator in hippie clothes and always was. He destroyed everything he was a part of. Nobody would have tolerated him for a minute if it weren't for that golden voice.
And the 'TEN CENT WORD AWARD' goes tooooooo..... Tony Ennis for dropping the word "ubiquitous" into a sentence. 👏 prompting no less thsn than 13 people to Google the word "ubiquitous". The word ubiquitous itself certainly isn't ubiquitous. 🎉 congratulations Tony🎉
@@BostonMike68 because someone has you at gunpoint? Why else would you willingly waste your time and then announce it to the world like you’ve got no control of your faculties?
I agree ! both are really excellent at what they were doing. Im missing Eddie's actor performances in movies like Beverly Hills Cop or Golden Child etc.
@@Multiverse14G3c Why would Petty apologize? There was no malice behind the the lyrics. If anything, they were recognition of their fame and success in entertainment.
Fuck Joe Piscopo. They let him come on Star Trek, pretty much as himself. The episode was neither good scifi nor funny. Slight value for Data's character development, but they could have handled that in a more entertaining way.
During his heyday Eddie Murphy made fun of several celebrities. He did several non-flattering impressions of Bill Cosby, James Brown, Mr. Rogers, Richard Pryor, and especially Michael Jackson. He had it coming.
I used to get free luxury box tickets at Charlotte NC Verizon amphitheater. I got to see Tom twice. It was amazing!!! Then my husband had to go and retire so no more luxury box seats. Dammit.
Eddie's only pissed because he knows how beloved Tom will always be, while Eddie can only hope to be tolerated. He runs his mouth about everyone else and his schtick got old a long time ago. Love you, Tom. We miss you down here.
If you’re into Tom petty and the Heartbreakers Mike Campbell’s recent Gibson Tv spot with Mark Agnesi here on RU-vid showing off some of his guitars is a fantastic watch.
I think you undersold just how big of a star Eddie Murphy was in the mid 1980s. He was famous in a way that's not even positive today. He and Michael Jackson were probably the two most famous people on the planet at that time.
@@Piece-O-Pie Not nearly at the same level of appeal. Cosby fame was from longevity and national. Where Jackson and Murphy fans were cross generational and international. Jackson obviously for his music and live tours. Murphy was the entertainment world's 'Golden Boy', that the public loved. Comedy, Movies and an attempt at a singing career, along with guest appearances on television, he was everywhere.
i remember that situation and MURPHY was not happy...i've kinda wondered in passing if those guys had ever met each other at some point years later and that line came up in conversation...TOM never gave me the impression of a guy looking for controversy
Not really back then at least. David Spade famously made an innocuous and tame joke about him on SNL back in the day and Eddie personally called him at work the next Monday to curse him out. So this aint too surprising. Raw and Delirious are still classic though
My personal frustration with Tom Petty comes from years of trying to play his songs in Rocksmith! Fantastic songs, super hard in places. My 69 year old fingers can't keep up 😞
You're Jammin' Me is my all time Favorite Petty song. I even did a satire version played on the Johhny B show on the Loop Chicago called You're Scammin' Me.
Maybe it's been covered or brought up in the comments but this made me think of Joe DiMaggio being upset with Paul Simon about the line from "Mrs. Robinson" until Paul sat down with him and explained what he meant by it.
I heard Tom Petty talk about this before. He just told Eddie Murphy sorry but Bob Dylan wrote it because that is the truth. I don't think there was actual hate going on there.
I’ve heard that song many times, and I caught the names Joe Piscopo and Vanessa Redgrave, but I didn’t quite understand what Tom was singing when he said “Eddie Murphy”
Average number of times a Tom Petty fan listens to his music: Infinite, since we're still doing it. Average number of times an Eddie Murphy fan watches his movies: 1
Eddie needs to let that go! A stupid beef with Tom Petty. I am a black dude, and I like Eddie. However, I am a huge fan of Tom Petty. Tom Petty was a cool and gritty artist. Eddie’s name being mentioned in a song is cool. Shows that Eddie came to mind. Is that really something to get all twisted about? Nope! Peace.
@Darin You seem like a very cool, level-headed guy! I think a "self-deprecating sense-of-humor" is one of the greatest attributes a person can have. And so I can't really understand anyone getting so bent out of shape by such a vague comment like "Take back Eddie Murphy". If I'd been Eddie, I'd have replied with something like, "Take me back to... where? My childhood? My 12th grade Math teacher's class? The bar? OK! THE BAR. But *you're* buying, Tom!" . Incidentally, Darin, I'd buy you a beer at the bar any time, Brother! Out of curiosity, do you have a favorite Tom Petty album?
@@D-FensDogG -Yeah, probably “ Damn the Torpedos”. It’s hard to pick just one because I like them all. However, if I could only pick one, it would have to be that one. Sorry, no beer drinking for me. I am a recovering addict, with over 13 years clean and sober. Crack was my drug of choice. I had to give it up (including alcohol, although I use to love wine). Life is so much better today. I have been a Tom Petty fan since the 80’s. I remember all his cool and crazy videos. Tom had that gritty rock-n-roll. The kind of music where you pull the top down on the convertible on a clear night while you go 50 in a 30mph without a care in the world. I miss Tom Petty. I hated when he died. However, he left a great body of work. Thanks for the comment. Keep the PEACE.
@@darincampbell171 Congratulations on being clean & sober 13 years! It's a sign of great character when someone recognizes a serious problem and works to correct it! . Yeah, 'Damn The Torpedoes' was a great one. For me, that one is pretty much a dead even tie for the #2 spot with the self-titled debut. I've got 'Hard Promises' at #1, primarily because there's so much in that album that I can relate to in a very personal way. Rock on, Brother!
Everyone in this comment section is so scandalized over Murphy’s response but if someone you’d never met wrote a pop song telling you to go away and you heard it on the radio and on TV a bunch of times you’d probably be like “f that guy” too.
Oh oh... even before I watch this... and I'm not actually a fan... but Tom Petty is everybody's nice guy rock star. Like Dave Grohl, or something. Ok roll it!
