I'm surprised they didn't put this in The Best of Eddie Murphy from SNL.

[theeyeburninglight]

@DD2225 They did. I own it, I've watched it a million times.

[DD2225]

@theeyeburninglight

I remember watching The Best of Eddie Murphy on tv and was disappointed they did not have this poem. I'm guessing it might have been cut out due to time constraints.

[theeyeburninglight]

@DD2225 Totally possible. I went and rewatched it to make sure it was on there and it was.

[kimmy1984]

I remember the first time I saw this when it aired on television, I fell off the couch because I was laughing so hard. Thanks for posting.

Thank you for posting this, I've been looking for it, one of the funniest things I ever saw, this character, especially when it came out, when I first saw it on SNL in ... what year was this? I laughed out loud so hard then and have never forgotten it.

If anyone knows what year this was, please post it here.

@cityofangelslady

I am thinking 1980-1981 because I remember watching this particular episode and eddie murphy was not in many skits at the time because he was so young (19 or 20) and new to SNL

Holy shit, the last time I saw this was when it aired live. It's been sitting in my subconscious for years and today I realized "I bet it's on YouTube!"

AND IT WAS!

[MrLucke43]

[RatedArggg]

I never understood this poem until I moved to a town without rent control.

[Killenwolf]
