EPISODE OVERVIEW

1 Review | 83 Votes

NegroDamus: Paul Mooney comes in and plays a psychic (Nostradamus). Of course, everything that comes out of Mooney's mouth takes on a funny yet decidedly dark tone.

Red Balls: Tryone Biggins is out again, this time as a spokesperson for a brand new energy drink called Red Balls - of course made from crack. "Now cocaine comes in a delicious new shake."

Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories (Prince): One of the funniest sketches of series, this CMTH depicts Charlie Murphy's run in with Prince at a night club. The sketch gets funnier and funnier as Prince invites Charlie and his crew over to his house to hang out then eventually play basketball then eventually eat pancakes together. Brilliant sketch all the way around.

    Charlie Murphy: So I was like, this nigga must be jokin', man. I didn't know where he was going with this sh*t. But, he was dead serious. He had his help or whatever go and get some, like, shorts and sneakers, and laughing, I'm like, this is gonna be some funny ass sh*t. So they come out, right, and I look at them, and um, they still got on the same sh*t they'd be wearing at the club. It was wild, and I was like, I know they ain't thinking of playing ball in that, but they were. And I said:
    Charlie Murphy: Hey you know what, you know what we're gonna call this? The shirts against the blouses! (Prince makes a nervous face)
    Charlie Murphy: And when I said that, this look came on his face. And I'm looking back at him thinking to myself, you know, what are you angry about? You know where you got that shirt from, and it damn sure not from the men's department! But I learned something that day. Don't judge a book by it's cover. This cat can ball! edit »

    The Bottom Line: "Series classic"

    The Negrodamus sketch and the Red Balls sketch were funny, but the Prince Basketball sketch was one of the best in the series. ...Continue »
