my late brother was also amused by Oha's face after singing back in the early 90s. but he realized in the last decade that the song's lyrics was actually funnier.
carlos broughton i wonder what woulda happened if she actually disobeyed him and tell him what he wanted to hear? Like what music and food she really like. He woulda married her and that would have been the end of the story.😂😅😥😭😰
I'm not black and when I seen this I was 6yrs old and I thought and still think she is a beautiful woman I'm not gay I'm just saying the dress her hair she is beautiful ✔💯❤
I feel really bad for her. Imagine being raised and brainwashed from birth to accept, love and satiate every single desire of this man only for him to humiliate her at the first meeting and then eventually reject her for some foreigner. I mean he didn't mean anything like that, but from her point of view, her life's purpose has been fundamentally destroyed shamefully.
What's even more tragic is that when it comes to the sequel, The daughter of the general (whose also the brother to the original bride) was raised the exact same way to like verything their potential suiter liked. It wasn't played in the way how this was which was in its time hysterical and actually a bit more tragic than anything.
@@kristinasmallwood3160 out of the thousands of ways they could have made jokes to laugh your head off in this situation alone, this isn't it. Believe me, I love comedy and I'm good at writing it. That's how I know when people get desperate without a genuine idea and just put in anything in the hopes that audience will laugh simply because of the genre. The same type of comedy done right is the "it's good to be the king" set piece from Mel Brook's history of the world.
It’s funny because she looks exactly like my Mom. She was 22 when this movie first came out and everyone used to stop her to tell her that “she looks like the lady from Coming to America”.
He turned down an obedient, high quality woman who trained her whole life to be his wife; and married a chick from the Bronx who was dating a soul glo metrosexual. 3 years into marriage he's going to wake up one day and say "oh no What did I do?!"
Lamar Lewis That was the 80's. STD was quite a problem at the time. Also, Africa is a place very plagued by many diseases, like STD... I guess the joke covers those two. Different times.
Funny things aside, the girl has been conditioned since birth not to have a personality, to supress her own desires, that's years of therapy ahead, if she even wakes up to be aware she has a trauma.
This spoiled prince pranked the young lady like that, but that wouldn't fly in places like Wakanda or Telassar. I hope Miss Emani emigrated to one of those city-states, and built a life with a man who appreciated her beauty and grace, and treated her with dignity.
I feel so sorry for the girl, I mean her whole existence was made to serve him, having no right for personal opinion, for personal life, or interests. She is psychologically broken, there are things she would never be able to experience. I know it's a comedy, but there are cultures where this is practiced, and it is so demeaning and dehumanising. It's extremely sad.
being a slave then being a wife. Is not love at all. It's partnership it works both ways. Communicate , trust but the biggest key of a couple i. Is understanding one another feelings.
O wow I just looked up this woman and she is still beautiful to this day. However i didn't realize she was from Toledo, OH. Hometown honey right there.
There is a scene that has been cut. There is a moment that Akeem says that from now on you will not obey me and she says no. And he thinks and the scene continue after 2:20
I've seen alot of comments saying "shes the perfect wife" or "all wives should be like this"... Sure, no arguments, but I feel the marriage would be boring too.
With a person like this you might as well be single. No imput whatshowever in the relationship would be dull. No one is stopping you from becoming a monk if you fear relationships that much.
I assume that's her father accompanying her near the 1 minute mark? His dress and manner suggest that he is a highly ranked soldier in the Zamundan armed forces. He would have spent a considerable amount of time and money having his daughter trained to serve the prince as his wife. He would no doubt also be banking on a royal marriage as his family's way of ascending the ladder of Zamundan aristocracy. For such an ambitious and puissant man, the fact that Akeem publically spurred his daughter in order to marry a commoner would have been an insult and humiliation of the worst sort. Knowing the fractious nature of African court politics stemming from tribal affiliations and a reliance upon nepotism in order to garner loyalty and support (i.e. Uganda during Idi Amin, Zaire under the reign of Mobuto Sese-Seko) I think we can safely assume that Akeem and his chosen bride would've enjoyed a blissful couple of weeks as newlyweds before they were publically beheaded by a newly risen military junta, and their bodies thrown to the crocodiles as an example to the rest.
She’s gorgeous!
So are you
They did her dirty in the sequel lol. She was still making animal noises and had the same outfit on 3 decades later 😂
Yes that was so unrealistic
That had me wheezing when I saw her still hopping on one foot and barking like a dog 😭😭
That cracked me up I know it's crazy 🤪🤪😧😂
They shouldve NEVER made a sequel 🤦🏼 You couldn't make me watch it 😆 This movie is perfect the way it is 👏
She aged well though😅
Loved it when the guy goes back to a straight face after he's done singing 😂😂

I know he hates his job

His name is Ohan
the way eddie breaks the fourth wall after she starts barking, hahahahah!!! gets me every time
Eddie breaking the 4th wall like Deadpool and Zack Morris!
Eriq La Salle (Darryl) broke the fourth wall too, later in the film as he was about to get busy with Lisa's sister Patrice
@@m64h hehe... "get busy" hehe
How did he break the fourth wall?
It's a John Landis motif. Notice Eddie breaks the fourth wall in Trading Places too and MJ in the Thriller video
He had to hold the door open for several seconds to get all of her dress in
Now are Days he must be very carefull of the metoo Moment Womans he is Making Woman to jump like a dog so always be carefull with the ladys
lmbooo
The only thing i hate is that she was training to be his wife her whole life and at the end he refused her
carlos broughton She was basically chosen 2 be (THE) next queen so i say she was one lucky girl 2 be chosen in the first place😀
carlos broughton i wonder what woulda happened if she actually disobeyed him and tell him what he wanted to hear? Like what music and food she really like. He woulda married her and that would have been the end of the story.😂😅😥😭😰

I damn near killed my vocal cords trying to hold that last note😁😁
I know the pain
3:02 and she continued hopping on one leg going “oo oo oo oo oo oo” for the rest of her life because Akeem never told her to stop.
Lmao 😅😅😅she makes a comeback in the second movie
woow! correct!
@@GuRennexSilva I can’t believe there’s a sequel!!!
Vanessa Bell Calloway is Drop Dead Gorgeous. She was the Diana Ross of the 80s.🤩😍😘🥰❤
What????Diana wasn't 90% prettier than Vanessa. I love Diana Ross and went to many of her concerts. Nay I'm with Vanessa 💯.
My favorite movie. Wow can you believe that it's been almost 30 years now.
35 😁
I have always wanted that dress ❤️
It’s funny because she looks exactly like my Mom. She was 22 when this movie first came out and everyone used to stop her to tell her that “she looks like the lady from Coming to America”.
I can’t stop laughing...this has to be my favorite part...I watch this movie as a young child and it still cracks me up too this day🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😍
GOOD GAWD SHE FINE
and brainwashed
adams darwins how is she brainwashed? She was chosen 2 serve only him!😂😰😅No one made her do it😂😰😌😀
She's alright but Lisa was prettier.
Don Johnson
Both are fine. The skin shades of Black Americans are the best
Don Johnson Nah she is finer than Lisa.
Dont give damm wat pple say . Love this movie . It was funny ass helll
But thats what people say! What else would they say?!?
@@good2btheking I agree, love this movie! But, actually it isn't well reviewed apparently.
@@good2btheking they probably say "I don't give a damn what people say. I love this movie. It was funny as hell"
2:33 Akeem looks at the camera and thinks: "This is not possible. This can't be happening..."
🤣🤣🤣
This move didn't come out in the 1970's it came out in the late 1980's.
"Coming To America" this movie came out in 1988 I went to the theater and seen it. I was 15 at the time
Jackass Dick title of the video says it
Exactly
Bra this will never get old😅😂🤣
Gotta love that 4th wall break at 2:34.
Vanessa Bell Calloway is so cool and down-to-earth good people met her years ago at Tammi Mac one minute microphone mixer
That look that Eddie Murphy made to the audience (breaking the fourth wall) from 2:33 - 2:35 is PRICELESS!!!!
Gotta give it to Imani! That dress was slamming even though she didn't get Akeem!! That guy that's singing is hilarious! 🐕 👗 👡 👑 👩
How did she manage to hop on one leg in those heels? I would have broken my foot. XP
Stevie Chan cuz u fat

That’s the ideal spouse of all the men in the church I grew up in😬
Whomever edited this video edited out
“A vision of perfection, FREE FROM INFECTION....” the best line IN that song. Just saying😊
Whoever.
He turned down an obedient, high quality woman who trained her whole life to be his wife; and married a chick from the Bronx who was dating a soul glo metrosexual. 3 years into marriage he's going to wake up one day and say "oh no What did I do?!"
😂😂 right
Dude, you cut out the funniest line of the song "free from infection".
Sharon Runly Nichols i always wondered what he meaned by that.
Lamar Lewis He meant that she’s free from sexually transmitted diseases so he can have sex with her without worrying about getting a disease 😩😂
Chim Cham do u know who the woman is standing next to semmie?
Lamar Lewis
That was the 80's. STD was quite a problem at the time.
Also, Africa is a place very plagued by many diseases, like STD... I guess the joke covers those two.
Different times.
But it doesn’t look cut. Wonder if it was edited out
Beautiful and still is today!
Never seen this movie but when i see a clip i was just amazed on how she looked
The first time I saw this movie and Olah started singing; made me laugh to the top of my lungs. Imani was a very pretty lady.
I think it is was Oha.
I ain't gonna lie I love the dress and the hair 👍✔💯 on that actress ❤
Omg i would love to wear a dress like that when i get married. She looks sooooo beautiful 😍😍😍😍
💀💀💀When he broke out singing
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
When I saw this scene for the first time when I was six.... I died laughing at this scene. It was comedic gold!
Vanessa Calloway is stunning in this movie. Wow.
This is EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!
I don't know why this scene creeped me out when I was younger! Watching it now idk if I'm still creeped out hahahaha
Imani izzi is an unbelievably divine and drop dead gorgeous Goddess
Excelente coreografía!! Magnífica
it's crazy because so many guys would love to marry her for obvious reasons.
His singing had me and she’s stunning 😍😍😍😍😍
2:50 AH! I SEE YOU TWO ARE GETTING ALONG! 😂🤣😂🤣
Best time in my childhood
Funny things aside, the girl has been conditioned since birth not to have a personality, to supress her own desires, that's years of therapy ahead, if she even wakes up to be aware she has a trauma.
2:30 when Eddie breaks through the fourth wall. Genius
How do you know that wasn't in the script
He's legit struggling with her in that room, trying to get to know her to no avail XD
She is super gorgeous 🖤🖤🖤🖤
This movie is a fucking classic.
2:33 he looks at the camera
That was deliberate fool, he wanted to show his disbelief that she was behaving like a trained dog.
Dream wifey, "Whatever you like..."
😆
2:30 I died laughing when he looked at the screen
Who's here after Coming 2 America?
I love this movie.
This IS The most beautiful movie ever made ,I'm crackin up e v e r y t i m e .
Not sure why but I wanted to watch the dance scene and this, which made my day!
Imagine in the sequel, 30 years later, and she's still doing that.
She is
Youre gonna enjoy the sequel then
Best movie ever
poor guy didn't realize what he had.....
I can’t believe they sing this song at weddings now!
Love them both💜
I just clocked King Willy from Predator 2 was her Dad. Awesome
Is how he got so serious after singing that ??? Song
This spoiled prince pranked the young lady like that, but that wouldn't fly in places like Wakanda or Telassar. I hope Miss Emani emigrated to one of those city-states, and built a life with a man who appreciated her beauty and grace, and treated her with dignity.

This was my parent's favourite movie... that's why my middle name is Amonie
The way he looks at the camera each time kills me.. xD
''Is she for real?'' 2:33
This is an awesome movie haha
Even the kings wife wasn't that obedient
👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

I want a Barbie that looks just like her.
Even when I was little I knew that would not be the life for me.#I have a mind of my own and I’m not going to like everything you like-period
Watching this again for the first time in a long time. It really sucks to be her.
This Scene is so funny 🤣🤣🤣🙃
