Happy Birthday Eddie Murphy — With Your Crazy Self! 15 Hilarious One-Liners From The Funny Man

Starring opposite Steve Martin as Kit in Bowfinger, Murphy proved he could hold his own standing next to the veteran comedian: “White boys always get the Oscar. It’s a known fact. Did I ever get a nomination? No! You know why? Cause I hadn’t played any of them slave roles, and get my A$$ whipped. That’s how you get the nomination. A black dude who plays a slave that gets his A$$ whipped gets the nomination, a white guy who plays an idiot gets the Oscar. That’s what I need, I need to play a retarded slave, then I’ll get the Oscar.”
