Fun Fact: in an interview John Witherspoon admitted that his scene in the movie "Boomerang" was only supposed to be about 30 seconds but Eddie Murphy laugh so much and enjoyed him so much that he actually had them extend John's scene and cut out other parts of the movie to fit it in.
@CrewsEntInc Here is what John Witherspoon himself said. So I guess his story is not quite accurate either. 🤷🏽 m.th-cam.com/video/6TaTpBZCQ6Y/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUqam9obiB3aXRoZXJzcG9vbiBvbiBoaXMgcm9sZSBpbiBib29tZXJhbmcg
He was never really the star in the movies but he stole the show every time and left us with to many memorable moments to count rest in paradise to a true legend
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot my password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
Fathers like Craig's would make the hood so much better. All they do is come home from work, have their cold beer, talk about their day, make sure their kids stay out of trouble/had a good day at school, help them with their homework, play some football/baseball in the front yard with them, then go to sleep. That's not much to most but to us (boys) that didnt have that growing up, that's all it takes to not only feel loved but to know that pops is simply there for you. Be a "father" to your kids my dudes, not simply a "sperm donor".
Over the years I saw some great comics, EDDIE MURPHY, RODNEY DANGERFIELD, DAVE CHAPELL, CHARLIE MURPHY, REDD FOXX, and so many more but MR. JOHN WITHERSPOON was the best of all of them and I know people will disagree cause everybody has their own choice But I put MR.WITHERSPOON as #1 and MR. BERNIE MAC as # 2, BOTH RIP.
This brother goes all the way back to the Richard Pryor Show.....one of the most ground-breaking, revolutionary shows in all of entertainment TV that was way ahead of its time. Rest In Power Brother John Witherspoon!
Since they're working on another Friday Movie, Tate Donovan would be the perfect actor to fill in John Witherspoon's role as pops in the upcoming new Friday Movie
I fell out the first time I saw "Friday." The kitchen scene was almost dead on what my Dad (RIP) used to say to me. Every time I watch it, I think of my Dad and crack up....thanks Dad!!
Eddie Murphy's reaction when they walked out of the bathroom kills me every time. The movie wouldn't have been the same without him. The world won't be the same without him, 😥
lol in that House Party scene get me every time. He's telling everyone to shut up all that damn noise, and he's the one that's loud asf looooooooool RIP Pops man, we lost one.
Some called Bill Cosby the tv dad for the privilege black kids......but more of us looked at John Witherspoon as our tv dad......along with James Evans from Good Times
I was waitin for his Boondocks return😥 😪, the Boondocks ain't gonna be right without Robert Jedediah "Granddad" Freeman, Great Grandson of Catcher Freeman.
I've been on a John Witherspoon video binge all day today .. To say that his passing is a saddening one would be a total understatement. I was introduced to him through watching him on The Wayans Brothers since it first aired on the WB. Even though the show was called The Wayans Brothers, the show wouldn't have been as good as it was without John's participation in it as pops. Low key I think he was the star of that show and practically anything else he was on. This world ain't never gonna be the same without you pops. R.I.P. 😥
Thank you for this bro I’m legit sad as fuck today the world is going to miss John! Thank you for the years of laughter and entertainment John Witherspoon!!!! May you Rest In Peace 🙏🏼
Rest In Heaven Mr. Tim Witherspoon. Extending my deepest and heartfelt condolences to your family.Thank you so much sharing your joy love and laughter. We love and we appreciate you❤️
Halle's reactions were subtle and put these scenes over the edge. Id love to hear her sit down and rimenicse in detail about Boomerang but especially these scenes.
Wow 😢 one of the greatest who did it in comedy now up there in comedy heaven with Richard Pryor Red foxx and with a lot more of them R I P Mr John Witherspoon u will be truly missed 😭😭
I was waitin for his Boondocks return😥 😪, the Boondocks ain't gonna be right without Robert Jedediah "Granddad" Freeman, Great Grandson of Catcher Freeman.
I don't know how Ice Cube kept a straight face during this. Mr. Witherspoon reminded me of actions of my brother and my uncle. When they were in the mood to crack you up boy look out, the laughs were on. Then when I saw the Friday movies I said "they got this from Sam and Uncle Billy!" He will be missed like a family member.
BANG BANG BANG! A straight Legend and generally good bro according to sources...Mr. Witherspoon didn't even have to speak...jus his body language cracked me up 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Rest in Power King...we miss you!! Frfr 💯

Haters doing what they do best
I saw an interview where he said his lines in Boomerang weren't in the script he improvised that scene. RIP legend
dyrrell gentry Classic my fav
Pure talent!!! Improv King!!
Boomerang is one of my favorite movies of all time
If he made us laugh this much on camera, just imagine how much we missed off camera. 😞
RIH John. Another legend leaves this earth.
Rest in heaven? I hope

The baked potato scene soul plane "i dont usually go this quick" took me all the way out lolol😂😂😂
This brother goes all the way back to the Richard Pryor Show.....one of the most ground-breaking, revolutionary shows in all of entertainment TV that was way ahead of its time. Rest In Power Brother John Witherspoon!
Detroit Legend 💪🏾 Rest Up Pops 🙏🏾
They said he had no script for that boomerang scene and he adlib the whole scene.
This scene wasn't supposed to be in the movie period. It was all adlibbed they fed off of him lol brilliant
Get out!!! Shouldn't be surprised though... @Mike Tank Brown ll
Since they're working on another Friday Movie, Tate Donovan would be the perfect actor to fill in John Witherspoon's role as pops in the upcoming new Friday Movie
Martin reaction was priceless lol. @ 9:38
Jeahav Valentin you can’t recast Pops
Those scenes from Boomerang are some of my favourites. They had me rolling! Everybody was on point in that movie!
Especially @ 10:14 I lost it on that part
Rip Legend I gotta watch the boondocks tonight 😢
Ikr
I fell out the first time I saw "Friday." The kitchen scene was almost dead on what my Dad (RIP) used to say to me.
Every time I watch it, I think of my Dad and crack up....thanks Dad!!
I love the scenes where he smacks while he chews real fast & lick his fingers. You can see the insatiable appetite for food he display. Love it all 😂😂
Shawn Wayans said he ate everything like it was a piece of chicken! Always found a bone in everything LMAO!!!
Tate donovan would be the perfect actor to fill in John Witherspoon's iconic role as pops in the new Friday Movie that they're working on now
I noted Martin Lawrence paid tribute to Witherspoon while he quizzed his friends on the New Jack City episode of Martin. Loved it!
Wow 💔😢💔 He was such genuine and naturally funny guy. You'll be truly missed. Bless you 🙏Rest easy Pops!!💓💕💓💕💕💕🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
He was not suppose to be in Boomerang, Eddie Murphy wanted him in that movie
Eddie Murphy's reaction when they walked out of the bathroom kills me every time. The movie wouldn't have been the same without him. The world won't be the same without him, 😥
Same for Wayne bros love this man
Yeah movie already filmed he begged to get him in. Whole mushroom and table scene was off the top lol to funny
" you big too you ain't no baby" lmaooo I'm dying that Witherspoon was the king
That whole first scene from Friday is uncut i never heard that version!! good look

Bruh I was tripping lol
Tate Donovan would be the perfect actor to fill in John Witherspoon's role as pops in the new Friday Movie that they're working on now
What's up Tupac
Didn't know him but feels like I did 😢
He was all our pops
Had the chance to meet him Real down to man.
Comedy won't be the same he's the only comedian that made me laugh so hard I passed out
Those Boomerang scenes are just too funny. "Spoon" is a beast mode comedian, no holds barred.
We were all honored to have been blessed with such a man. Rest peacefully 🥀
The scene from Soul Plane was hysterical!! John Witherspoon was a NUTT!! Pun intended!!
And that was his wife for real.
So funny Yaz lol
wheres my yak, where's my yak hahahaha dyin
Comedy Legend! He’s also from my hometown Detroit! R.I.H King
Mr. Witherspoon WAS legend. He was relatable and everyone was related to someone just like him.
He left us laughs to get thru the day🙏🏿 He has definitely left his mark on this earth. Thank You Mr. Witherspoon 🙏🏿
"You better put some water on that damn shit..." at 13 I LoL at that line in Friday...great to see that extended scene

That soul plane scene is the funniest shit🤣😂. 🙏🏿#RIPLEGEND🙏🏿. Gone but not forgotten 🙏🏿🙏🏿
I usually don't trip over the death of a celebrity. But his passing hit me as hard as Robin Williams' suicide
For me it was Tupac and John Witherspoon. THATS IT!

Thats his actually wife in that scene. Thats funny and she's beautiful.
"you got a lil puddle there"
He got him a free orgasm. It's a win win for him and the woman didn't have to be assaulted. LOL
Most of his scenes were improvised u forgot vampire in Brooklyn
Chris Davis he was soo damn funny in that movie😫👏👏👏

“ I love that freaky shit. Hew hewww”🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀

His House Party and Boomerang scenes are my favorites.
"this ain't soul train!" -- I almost spit out my food at that line....
Fuck, I miss John Witherspoon.... RIP to a Legend

Will definitely miss this legend. :((
The boomerang scene had me 😂😂🤣😂
Everytime he’s eating something in a movie he’s smacking hard af 😂😂😂
Most of his roles were close to the same, but nonetheless he consistently kept you entertained. Much respect to the legend.
That just shows that it was HIM and his actual personality that they wanted in the movie, forget about acting
One of the funniest men to ever live
Rip.
"That Rabbit getting old baby....We'll tear another piece off and make some earrings..." Killed it. Rest Easy Popz
