Another fun fact: Charlie Murphy, Eddie's brother was briefly used in the barbershop scene to double for Eddie when Akeem sits down in the chair for his haircut. When they cut to Eddie as the barber, you still see the top of Akeem's forehead. That was actually Charlie Murphy filling in. Arsenio Hall mentioned that on his show.
Another gem in here is that line where Akeems Father the king and his other Royal peoples came in the shop and asked for Akeem...and the Barber and his friend called him Kuntae, the guy that lived upstairs on the 5th floor....that famous line was also used by Martin in his TV Show (MARTIN) with the character (Brotha Man) that lived upstairs to him....on the 5th floor and brotha man would put up 4 fingers on his hand. LOL😂😂😂😂Eddie Murphy made that line famous and Martin took it and used it in his show.
Eddie Murphy also originated the whole comedy of a Barbershop thing in Coming To America that even Ice Cube took the idea and made Barbershop 1, 2, 3....and even brached off that to make Beauty Salon with Queen Latifah as the main character in that. So Eddie Murphy is the King when it comes to that
MR. CHURCH was the movie where Eddie Murphy was playing a cook for a white family. In COMING TO AMERICA, Eddie and Arsenio Hall each played 4 characters. In the barbershop scenes, Eddie played 2 characters, Clarence the barber, and Saul, the old Jewish white guy. Arsenio Hall played barber Morris, who always just sits down and eat plates of food. The 3rd barber named Sweetwater was played by Clint Smith, Eddie's best friend who appeared in his other movies TRADING PLACES, 48 HOURS, and on Saturday Night Live with Eddie.
Fun fact: John Landis is the one who told Eddie he wanted him to play an old Jewish man. When Landis was having trouble getting the movie greenlit, he had Eddie come to the studio in character as the old Jewish man. The guy who had the power to greenlight the movie did not even know that it was Eddie Murphy until he revealed himself. The movie was greenlit after that and went on to become an international success even overseas in Asia.
Starting with saving Saturday Night Live from completely crashing and burning after the original cast left and the new cast for season six didn't exactly win everyone over.
The White Jewish dude, is also played by Eddie Murphy, I think props need to be given for how amazing Murphy's performance is...and the Make up, its phenomenal
Clint Smith is a childhood friend of Eddie Murphy's. I guess Eddie helps him out because pretty much the only screen time he has been in are bit roles in Murphy's movies like 48Hrs and Trading Places. He was also playing small parts on Saturday Night Live from 1982-84 when Eddie was a cast member.
Clint was the guy that Charlie Murphy was talking about in the "I Want More" True Hollywood Story. Charlie was supposed to name him "Darryl" but he kept slipping up and calling him Clint and they tried to censor it with the sound but you can see his lips form the name. He was a problematic drinker which led his career with and without Eddie to falter
I could watch this on loop. Do Harlem Nights! Della Reese fighting Eddie is one of the funniest bits ever. I thought I’d die laughing with my boys in the theater back in the day. Plus you got CHARLIE MURPHAAAAY
One of my favorite scenes is the black awareness pageant and the baber played by Arsenio Hall put the chicken bone in the donation basket. That had my crying laughing every time I seen that particular scene another favorite was heeeey it's Kunta Kente
The guy playing chess with Eddie as the Jewish guy is not Eddie Murphy. That’s his real friend Clint. And Charlie Murphy has some hilarious stories about Clint.
@@ZidaneBaggio99 Did you read where I wrote _"except the guy with the round face,"_ 😁 ... Also, that's not chess they are playing, its checkers a.k.a. draught. You're welcome.
@@oslonorway547 I thought you meant Cuba gooding Jr when you said round face but you’re right. My mistake. Also, with the checkers board. 🤦♀️😃 If you haven’t seen it already, I still recommend you watch the Charlie Murphy stories about Clint smith and Eddie Murphy. They’re hilarious
Never realized until now that the short guy is the guy in the cell with Eddie in Trading Places when he's doing the 'karate man' bit. At least sounds just like him.
Clint Smith was Eddie and Charlie Murphy's friend, they had to whoop his ass at a house party for starting shit. You should 100% watch that story it's so funny.
There are many other videos on their fist viewings of 'Coming To America' barber scenes, but you guys did the best by showing your reactions well and speaking less than all others during the video.
"Taste the soup" - classic New York Jewish joke. I know because my wife's grandfather pulled that out once and all of the Jewish relatives said "Oh, Jesus!" Little gentile humor there, folks.
@Pete Melon It's the corniest joke ever. The point is that he asks the waiter to taste the soup but there was no spoon provided, therefore he cannot taste the soup. In addition, there's some cultural ironies here, to say the least.
Clint Smith is probably a buddy of Eddie Murphy's since he was on SNL as a minor role player at the same time and had a bit role in Trading Places, another Eddie Murphy vehicle.
@Frank Silvers So it was not clear to the person I responded to. Race and the concept of "whiteness" is overly complicated in the US, changing over time. In addition referring to someone as "Jewish" can refer to both religion and ethnicity. Yes, most people in the U.S. would now consider Ashkenazi Jews as white but some (including many white nationalists among others) do not. Was trying not to get into it in a TH-cam comment section.
Clint Smith was part of Eddie Murphy Delirious entourage, he was Eddie's best friend from high school, plus he was also on Eddie's SNL sketches, obviously on coming to America
Was that kid Cuba Gooding sitting in the chair? Looked like him but real young. Even before Boyz N tha Hood. I’ve seen this movie 100 times but never noticed that!
Where the hell did Eddie go?? He was comedic god back in the day. I remember buying his first ever stand up album when he was 19 in a small comedy club.
The scene with the barbers discussing boxing is always the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions that movie 😂🤣😂🤣😂 Ps. but I Will also go with Sugar Ray Robinson 🏆🥇🥊😍
One day at my old job, a group of black guys were talking about blues guitarists. White dude walks up and says Stevie Ray Vaughan. Without missing a beat, one of the black guys said "How come every time I talk about blues guitarists, a white man man gotta pull Stevie Ray Vaughan out his ass?" That movie is timeless.
Clint Smith is not a comedian, he is Eddie's best friend from childhood. Eddie and Arsenio both played several people in the movie. Another of people didn't realize Eddie was the Old Jewish guy in the barber shop.
The third Barber in the scenes is the the guy in the Charley Murphy stories. He's the guy that called people f%$n morons when he gets drunk as well as getting his ass wiped.
I love the fact that kunta kinte joke Flies over most people's heads. Mr McDowell (John amos) was kunta kinte in roots. Also madge Sinclair (the queen ) was also in roots
5:13 The video ripped y'all off. They left out him saying "That's where I'M going... shit!" It's a real little thing but it puts the cherry on top of the end of that scene!
Totally agree! And I also wish it would've included the scenes at the Black Awareness Rally of these guys arguing about the collection plate and mistaking it for the trash.
The way he kept changing Joe Lewis age. Started at 75 and ended at 137…..😂. Classic.
“You aint never meet no Frank Sinatra” 😂

Thirty three years later I can quote this movie from beginning to end, now that's a great movie.
Preach! Coming to America and Major Payne for me
Lol me too mate
Me as well.
Truth
ME TOO!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cool fact! Thanks for spreading goodness!
@@Nishua No problem!
😆👍
I only found out this year that it was directed by Landis! I've always associated him with American Werewolf in London and Thriller...😁
@@MrClassicmetal He also directed The Blues Brothers 👍
Coming To America is a goddamn classic. Murphy ruled the 80's.
Starting with saving Saturday Night Live from completely crashing and burning after the original cast left and the new cast for season six didn't exactly win everyone over.
Arsenio Hall is mad slept on. Dude's a legend. And this movie was one that was a classic that was watched at least yearly growing up.
The White Jewish dude, is also played by Eddie Murphy, I think props need to be given for how amazing Murphy's performance is...and the Make up, its phenomenal
No sh*t
"AWWW MAN, YOU LYIN'....YOU AINT NEVER MET MARTIN LUTHA THE KANG!!!"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 CLASSIC!!!!
Yes i did !
This is legit one of the best comedies of all time. Right up there with Airplane, Naked Gun, and Blazing Saddles.
Clint Smith is a childhood friend of Eddie Murphy's. I guess Eddie helps him out because pretty much the only screen time he has been in are bit roles in Murphy's movies like 48Hrs and Trading Places. He was also playing small parts on Saturday Night Live from 1982-84 when Eddie was a cast member.

The 'There they go, there they go!!' part kills me every time🤣🤣🤣
I'm happy to see Eddie Murphy returning to good roles. As an 80s kid, Eddie Murphy will always be the man to me. Arsenio Hall is great too.
In my book! He Carried SNL.
Murphy and De Niro are kinda the same way:
So great they got bored, and they started just doing shit.
Hell yeah! Used to go to my grandma's and watch "trading places" on VHS tape.
@@menwithven8114 Trading Places is definitely one of my all time favorite comedies. :)
@@franksbtka1624 it's also a Christmas classic
My best was: “You lying, you ain’t never met Martin Luther the King”
And "man, you ain't never met no Frank Sinatra" (said so casually) 😂😂😂
Knocked the wind outta me yes he did
@@josephmarino310 No he didn't!
Hahaha.
That's the guy who played Harpo in The Color Purple, isn't it?
Clint Smith is Eddie's childhood friend. He also played in Trading Places with him.
That's comedy. When we could live together and laugh at each other and nobody got bent out of shape. Great times...
My favorite moment in this movie is the song "she's your queen to beeee!"
Freeeeeeee from infection!
My favorite part and had them laughing like a mf. 5:47. "You lying, you ain't never met Dr. Martin luthaa kang" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I could watch this on loop.
Do Harlem Nights!
Della Reese fighting Eddie is one of the funniest bits ever. I thought I’d die laughing with my boys in the theater back in the day.
Plus you got CHARLIE MURPHAAAAY
"RATATATATATATATATA!!!"
"piu piu..."
Pow
That was cold blooded 🎶🎶🎶
"Dat Cuba Gooding Jr.?" Classic.
Yeah an Samuel L Jackson is in it too but i guess everyone knows that :)
One of my favorite scenes is the black awareness pageant and the baber played by Arsenio Hall put the chicken bone in the donation basket. That had my crying laughing every time I seen that particular scene another favorite was heeeey it's Kunta Kente
Everyone in the shop is Eddie Murphy, except Arsenio and the guy with the round face. .... It was confusing while we were kids though. 😁
Don't forget Cuba Gooding 😉
@@C0R3Y_C yep. He's getting his hair cut.
The guy playing chess with Eddie as the Jewish guy is not Eddie Murphy. That’s his real friend Clint. And Charlie Murphy has some hilarious stories about Clint.
@@ZidaneBaggio99 Did you read where I wrote _"except the guy with the round face,"_ 😁

If you haven’t seen it already, I still recommend you watch the Charlie Murphy stories about Clint smith and Eddie Murphy. They’re hilarious
You know a movie is fucking good when people can still laugh 30 years later
The other old guy is Clint Smith childhood friend of Eddie Murphy, he was in several of Eddie's films
He was also on SNL with Eddie .
He had the best line to me too. When he said "That boy good!" I laugh every time I hear it.
He was in trading places too. "What is ya, ignorant???"
@@DanielHBuchmann He was supposedly the "I want more!" guy Charlie Murphy was talking about
You really need to see Trading Places. That's a classic!
That the only way people could understand the homeless men I this one and the manager in the sequel
"oh there they go..THERE THEY GO" 🤣🤣🤣
Amazing, James Earl Jones turned 90 last month. Happy Birthday Mr. Jones
You guys are getting me through quarantine! Love your reactions 😂🙏🏼
Never realized until now that the short guy is the guy in the cell with Eddie in Trading Places when he's doing the 'karate man' bit. At least sounds just like him.
If you wanna see clint smith when he was young, he’s in Trading Places in the jail cell scene. He says “what is you, ignorant?”
Eddie at his prime was a pure gold!
These scenes never fail to leave me in tears. They are still hilarious and I don’t think they ever won’t be
"Good clean girls" LMAO The "Other Barber".. Clint Smith as Sweets the barber.
His mama name him clay, ima call him clay 😂😂
Possibly the greatest comedy if all time. I could watch this every week.
Clint Smith was Eddie and Charlie Murphy's friend, they had to whoop his ass at a house party for starting shit. You should 100% watch that story it's so funny.
Is he the "I WAAANT MORRRE!!
guy??
He was in the opening of credits of Raw. Clint's a funny guy himself too.
Said that nigga looked like Beetle Bailey after Sarge beat his ass lololol. RIP Brother Darkness
@@davedecker1725 yup lmao
Ohhh noo! Lmaooo he was the “YA MOOOORROOON” guy
Cuba Gooding Jr. just trying to get a haircut. 😂
I doubt you could find many GenXers who hasn’t said “taste the soup!!” At least once a year since the movie came out
Yeah, and "What is that, velvet??"
Clint Smith was in the Trading Places jail scene- "What is ya, ignorant"?
He was also the subject of Charlie Murphy's "Give Me More" story.
He was also in the Party All the Time video.
Wow. I really need to watch this again. I completely forgot everything but the most basic premise. Eddie Murphy is fucking brilliant.
Clint Smith is the guy in the Charlie Murphy "I want more" story.
The barber shop scenes are the best scenes of the whole movie!
how could you not like this ? one of the best movies i have ever seen !
“You ain’t never Martin Luther the king.” 🤣
Great choice guys, as always laughing my ass off 🤣🤣🤣
Great movie. So many good scenes. The barber shop scenes still make me laugh out loud.
Bowfinger with Steve Martin is another good film where Murphy played twin brothers.
Clint Smith is Darryl from Charlie Murphy’s Stories on Chappelle Show. Eddies friend growing up
There are many other videos on their fist viewings of 'Coming To America' barber scenes, but you guys did the best by showing your reactions well and speaking less than all others during the video.
Never noticed that was Cuba Gooding Jr. getting a haircut in the first scene
I needed that laugh before work this morning. Thank you.
The guy in the barber chair first clip is Cube Gooding Jr!!
Norbit is one of the most underrated Eddie Murphy movies. Loved that you mentioned it.
"Taste the soup" - classic New York Jewish joke. I know because my wife's grandfather pulled that out once and all of the Jewish relatives said "Oh, Jesus!"
Little gentile humor there, folks.
@Pete Melon It's the corniest joke ever. The point is that he asks the waiter to taste the soup but there was no spoon provided, therefore he cannot taste the soup. In addition, there's some cultural ironies here, to say the least.

I love watching you guys. Brightens my day. TY
Clint Smith is probably a buddy of Eddie Murphy's since he was on SNL as a minor role player at the same time and had a bit role in Trading Places, another Eddie Murphy vehicle.
Best movie ever made! 💯🤗🎥 🍿
That's Clint Smith. That's the guy Charlie Murphy got in a fight with that he told about in his Hollywood stories on Chappelle Show.
What's more impressive is A number of characters in this movie including at least a couple in the barbershop we're all played by Eddie Murphy.
I remember the audience gasping in surprise when we found out Eddie Murphy was the Jewish man. An all time classic!
As I have gotten older I don’t have as many black friends as I used to...these fellas help me fill that void.
So many gems dropped in this movie classic! I would love to see y’all do Vampires In Brooklyn Italian and preacher scenes.
In case you guys don't know Eddie Murphy plays the old white guy in the shop as well 😂
@Viktor Zalesak It is complicated but in the US many would consider that gentleman both ethnically Jewish and White. That is obviously who Juel meant.

@Frank Silvers Seriously. Are you dense or a troll? I can't decide. I'm not confused at all
COMING TO AMERICA is one of the greatest comedy movies of all time in my opinion.
I feel like I just did a bunch of sit-ups 🤣🤣🤣🍻💭
The other guy in the barbershop is Clint, he's Eddie's childhood friend. He has been in Eddie's other movies.
Clint Smith was part of Eddie Murphy Delirious entourage, he was Eddie's best friend from high school, plus he was also on Eddie's SNL sketches, obviously on coming to America
Lil baby Cuba getting a haircut :-) Damn I'm old...
Can always chill right out with you guys.
After the fact. Love the barber shop scenes
It’s McDowell’s, not McDougal’s
But john Amos has a McDonald’s book that he stole to look at in his office 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Was that kid Cuba Gooding sitting in the chair? Looked like him but real young. Even before Boyz N tha Hood.
I’ve seen this movie 100 times but never noticed that!
Great video ! congrats from Brazil!
Where the hell did Eddie go?? He was comedic god back in the day. I remember buying his first ever stand up album when he was 19 in a small comedy club.
Check out "Dolemite is my name" on netflix. Best movie of 2019 imo. True story about Rudy Ray Moore
Samuel L Jackson has a small scene in that movie... wayyy before he did Pulp Fiction... he was a relatively unknown
The scene with the barbers discussing boxing is always the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions that movie 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Ps. but I Will also go with Sugar Ray Robinson 🏆🥇🥊😍
Cuba Gooding Jr. is the kid getting the haircut in one of the scenes
Clint smith is from the color purple as oprah's husband!
They look similar so it could be, but that's Willard Pugh who played Harpo and the Mayor in the "Robocop" movies.
I love laughing with you guys!
You guys make me happy! I love all the stuff you view
Coming 2 America comes out March 5th on Amazon Prime
Another good one guys. Thanks!!!
Freaking hilarious. That what a great movie.
The kid is indeed Cuba Gooding jr
they're making another one? niiiiiice

Y'all need to do the clips off Eddie's first comedy album.
Clint Smith was the person Charlie Murphy talked about getting in fights with when Clint was drunk.
Clint Smith is not a comedian, he is Eddie's best friend from childhood.
Eddie and Arsenio both played several people in the movie. Another of people didn't realize Eddie was the Old Jewish guy in the barber shop.
I feel like behind the scenes stuff whould be hilarious with you too
You know the old Jewish guy is Eddie... right?
React to Jack McBrayer & Triumph Visit Chicago's Weiner's Circle
The club scene will always be my favorite
The third Barber in the scenes is the the guy in the Charley Murphy stories. He's the guy that called people f%$n morons when he gets drunk as well as getting his ass wiped.

This is by far my favorite Eddie Murphy movie wit Harlem Nights being a close second.
5:13 The video ripped y'all off. They left out him saying "That's where I'M going... shit!" It's a real little thing but it puts the cherry on top of the end of that scene!
Totally agree! And I also wish it would've included the scenes at the Black Awareness Rally of these guys arguing about the collection plate and mistaking it for the trash.

Can you do more josh Johnson or Gabriel Iglesias
You guys are great, appreciate these videos, you might want to give a look Sam Kinison
