Now y'all have me wondering which comedies would be considered more "black humor" or more mainstream.
Eddie Murphy's career is a weird one. I think Trading Places and Beverly Hills Cop are straight mainstream comedies, IMO. Coming to America and the Nutty Professor are mostly mainstream but lean a little more into the black humor. Life and Boomerang I'd say are definitely black comedies through and through.
Then the year 2000 hit and he switched gears to entirely family comedies.
Wild ride.
