OT: Charlie Murphy Dead at 57

Darkness indeed.

Bitches! Show Charlie Murphy your titties.

Rick James just slapped the shit out of him in heaven. RIP Charlie... 

RIP Charlie.  I hope the coke in heaven is good.

Wish he could have 5 finger bitch slapped it away. RIP Charlie

I didnt see anything posted yesterday about J Geils dying.   While from Boston the J. Geils band was about as Detroit as anybody else actually from Detroit.  RIP both of them.

Genuinely talented and funny man. He will be missed.

RIP Charlie Murphy.

Some of the best comedy segments ever. Rest In Peace Charlie Murphy.

"What was wild was that...the guy, that look the most like, like a bitch....was gettin' all the women!"

Some of the best of Charlie:

 

"Things like escalated to the point where, you know, my man got too familiar and I ended up having to whip his ass man, you know, cause you know, he would step across the line. Habitually. He's a habitual line stepper."

"My brother, he's a lot more compassionate than I am, you know. We were looking at Rick getting in the limo, and as it drove off, Eddie says, "Man... Rick really needs help". I was like, "Hey man, we just gave him some help. We busted his motha fuckin' legs. I bet he won't come back and disrespect again." WRONG, WRONG... We're talkin' bout Rick James, man."

[after being beaten by Prince in a basketball game] "Challenge him, i-ight. Make sure your crew is there to witness it, cuz you just might get embarrassed."

[Prince looks on the verge of tears] "I don't know what he was crying about. He knew where he got that shirt and it certainly wasn't in the men's department."

WHY YOU LEAVE US LIKE THIS?!?!

But actually, in my opinion, Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories are among the Top 10 funniest moments in television history. Whenever I'm feeling bummed out, I watch those and still laugh maniacally as I did 14 years ago. He will be missed dearly. 

Like many of you said, his segments on Chappelle's Show was some of the funniest. He will be missed. Thanks for the many laughs Charlie. RIP.

RIP Charlie Murphy!

That guy knew how to tell a story. The raw footage of those Chappelle Show interviews had me in tears. He also had some other stories he told (available on YouTube) that were hilarious.

The stuff he did on Chappelle Show will live forever, RIP Buc Nasty

and that episode of the Chappelle Show was on. Watch it every time I notice it is on. I also liked him on Black Jesus. Damn this blows. He was hilarious

Loved this guy.  Total bummer : (

I didn't know he had cancer. I did see a recent picture of him and knew something bad was happening. He looked really frail. He had a hell of a life.

Wow, this just put a damper on the rest of my day. He may not have shared the same level of fame as his brother, but my god was that man funny. Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories are likely among the funniest, and possibly most influential sets of TV skits of the last 20 years. 

While True Hollywood Stories will probably be his shining moment, I'll always remember him as Tyree in Mad Real World:

"Well lookee here, Chad. The entire time you're in my room, I better not catch you standing up peeing. You sit down when you pee, you understand?!"

"Get your fat ass out of here before I cut some bacon off your back."

"Whoa, you got that all wrong. I ain't have sex with Katie. Lysol had sex with Katie! I just filmed it!"

Rick, then Prince, and now Charlie. I wonder if this is an indication of just how hard those guys partied back then...

Fuck you cancer.  RIP Charlie Murphy

I was just listening to a Bill Burr podcast (which is a hilarious podcast, FYI) and he had Joe Rogan on. They were telling a story and his name was brought up. They both stopped and went into a side story about how Charlie Murphy was hands down one of the best people in all of show business / comedy. I think the podcast was from late October. They made him sound like a really good dude. You pair that information with how hilarious he was on Chappelle ... it's a real bummer.

He was also awesome as MC Gusto on CB4. RIP...

This really sux and especially coming on the heels of losing Don Rickles. 

Lost another good one for sure. Loved him on Chappelle.

RIP Darkness.

Fuck your couch nigga! Buy another one ya rich motherfucker!

So what's this guy some off-brand Eddie Murphy?

Whew, i was hoping we could get back to normal and talk about people dying instead of all this boring sports stuff.
