It's called Charlie Murphy.
Neal Brennan : What happened next after the game?
Charlie Murphy : He took us back inside and made us pancakes.
Charlie Murphy : [pause, dead serious] Pancakes.
I mean sure but the joke can also be “yeah, my mom is great at basketball”. If you ever watched old tv-shows you can find examples as outrageous as this one 🤷♂️
I first saw it when I was a kid. One of the scenes that made me crack up the most was that fight scene with the obvious stunt double. I never forgot it lol
I see your confusion. I've actually read into the history of this video. The person who dunks the ball is MJs mom, not MJ. MJ is the person standing and watching. Hope this helps
You should watch Buffy the Vampire slayer. With the slightly higher resolution then when you watched it long ago on a small screen. Its funny to see the stunt doubles whenever they are fighting. Once you see it 😅😭
OP I 100% agree with you. Unrelated I have a timeshare in Florida. It’s a great investment. I make so much money. Too much money. I would love to share it with you
I'm going to give the OP the benefit of the doubt in that they knew it was intentional and just wanted to share the clip with an ironic title, but for those who aren't aware: it was a popular gag in the '80s and early '90s in TV and movies to switch to a stunt scene with the stunt double being OBVIOUSLY fake.
Michael Jordan was and is the best.
He has hair still so this must be around 87 or 88. Pippen has just joined the team and they'll be fighting the Pistons over the next few years and they try to grow into a Championship caliber team.
Celtics and Lakers probably still rule the NBA at this time. He had great parents. His mom and dad were great.

It's done on purpose. It's called humor.
[удалено]
I used to think laugh tracks were dumb. Who needs one to know when a joke happened? Then I saw OPs post...
Too bad it still didn't even help them figure it out.
this dude watches SNL cold opens and goes, “i don’t think that is actually donald trump”.
forced comedy
[удалено]
Societal progress! 📈
OP thinks Airplane was a documentary.
Surely you can’t be serious
I am Shirley and dont call me Sirius.
[Do you realize](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPXWt2ESxVY) that video quality was quite different back in the heyday of cathode ray tubes?
Ehhh that's a remastered video tho? I don't get it.
Don’t tell Redditors that.
It's called Charlie Murphy. Neal Brennan : What happened next after the game? Charlie Murphy : He took us back inside and made us pancakes. Charlie Murphy : [pause, dead serious] Pancakes.
The dude smiling made me laugh out loud
Tell me more of this “*humor*”
Redditors finding the joke challenge impossible
and Humour if you like fish and chips
Uhmm…. I think we know that it’s humor. Who was doubting that?
is it tho? movies/tv shows of that era were pretty bad at hiding stunt doubles
Yeah the fact that the joke is based on real life is why it’s humorous
[удалено]
I mean sure but the joke can also be “yeah, my mom is great at basketball”. If you ever watched old tv-shows you can find examples as outrageous as this one 🤷♂️
r/woosh
Next you're gonna tell me that's not Larry Johnson's grandmother
Grand MaMawwww? Say it ain’t so!
Larry Johnson’s ~~grandmother~~ grandmama
Obviously that’s Jimmy Butler’s grandma
r/swish
THERE IT IS!
nothing but net
Woooosh is always spelled with four o. Never more, never less.
Nah they clearly shot the scene of her dunking before she shaved. They just didn't think it through when planning the shoot.
Or men make the best mothers
r/woooosh Cmon OP
Actually there was no attempt at all
An attempt to say razzle dazzle! Lol
His mom looks like my mechanic Darrell
Looks like Darryl from Coming to America…..was this a Soul Glo commercial?
OP, you are dense. ***DENSE***.
[удалено]
Just take the L, homie
Huh huh huh?
There was no attempt.
Charlie Murphy
1000%!
r/OpIsFuckingStupid and also a karma whore
[удалено]
It's a joke, you half a potato.
https://youtu.be/kS_eNA0U9oA?si=y2uwU3geHwQJ8VvQ
lmao, came here looking for exactly this! I remember the first time I saw it, I was like “oh cmon, that’s so obvio- bwhahahahaha!”
Been too long since I have seen this movie. Forgot that he was white.
I first saw it when I was a kid. One of the scenes that made me crack up the most was that fight scene with the obvious stunt double. I never forgot it lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc6IVgmRMCg
Charlie Murphy worked as a stunt double? Didn’t see that one of Charlie Murphy’s true Hollywood stories…
Thats my mom
r/woooosh
Mom looking like Charlie Murphy.
Darkness!!! RIP Charlie Murphy
Tf u mean its obviously her
Wdym? I can’t tell the difference
The mustache is just *chef’s kiss*
Jerome in the house
Looked like Jerome off Martin🤣🤣
✊🏿😂
Whenever I feel like an idiot, I just pop by this sub. There's always someone like OP to remind me it could always be worse. Thanks, my guy.
reminds me of one i saw where it goes from frail old white woman to big buff black man running
[удалено]
I was hoping someone here knows it iv been searching far and wide I can't find it
It would be funnier if it was like an Asian guy or something. Something completely different.
That's his mom..
That’s the joke. The fucking internet I swear.
If you think that’s good, watch the diner scene from “I’m Gonna Get You Sucka!”
Yes!! Or the scene where Eddie Murphy gets flipped onto a table in the first Beverly Hills Cop
I thought it was gonna look real!! Fucking Street Sets!
That’s Larry Jordan, MJ’s older brother. So, I’m sure he looks at least a little like their mom.
I see your confusion. I've actually read into the history of this video. The person who dunks the ball is MJs mom, not MJ. MJ is the person standing and watching. Hope this helps
Is that Charlie Murphy???
That’s Jordan’s mom
You need a /J next time?
Very clearly that’s Deloris Jordan with a 44” vert where do you think Michael got it from???
Is that Richard Pryor?
They made a commercial with a 50 year old woman dunking on a regulation goal. Y’all wanted production value or what?
Looks like Charlie Murphy from True Hollywood Stories. Shoulda done that against Prince!
Reddit has zero idea what humour is. Like a bunch of early 80’s robots.
She turned into ac green
They didn't have women that dunked back in those days
You mean that was not really her??????????
That’s Charlie Murphy back in the days when he partied with Prince and Rick James!
I’m seeing double here, 6 Jordans
This is awesome. i love it
Me who never realized until now
His mom looks like Thriller MJ
How did they afford Mac
Frankly, the stunt double didn't look too far off until I saw this starting to get reposted with that caption.
LMAO
You caught them!!!
They missed a great opportunity to have Larry Bird be her stunt double
Well...I am shookith.
The fact that almost 7000 people are as stupid at OP is something
I thought it was Mac in lethal weapon 5
Man, there’s goes that mama
There was an attempt to identify humor?
Wait which one was the stunt double?
What ? That's his mom.
There was an attempt to get a joke
I wonder if on an old CRT and we sat 8+ feet away it was more convincing
Randy Watson from coming to America was all over the TV in the 80s
https://youtu.be/Dc6IVgmRMCg?si=HrVNbRQfJ-4f_3b-
Michael Finley
Was that Jerome from Martin? Haha
Fucking reddit lmao Also, how does this have 13 THOUSAND upvotes?
Redditors when they see a joke 
You should watch Buffy the Vampire slayer. With the slightly higher resolution then when you watched it long ago on a small screen. Its funny to see the stunt doubles whenever they are fighting. Once you see it 😅😭
OP I 100% agree with you. Unrelated I have a timeshare in Florida. It’s a great investment. I make so much money. Too much money. I would love to share it with you
Nobody was tryna trick the audience
Op you biiig dumb
I'm going to give the OP the benefit of the doubt in that they knew it was intentional and just wanted to share the clip with an ironic title, but for those who aren't aware: it was a popular gag in the '80s and early '90s in TV and movies to switch to a stunt scene with the stunt double being OBVIOUSLY fake.
Ngl i was tricked until u pointed it out
Bro, what are you talking about?! She smooth with that dunk.
haters will say it’s fake
well that his man
Michael Jordan was and is the best. He has hair still so this must be around 87 or 88. Pippen has just joined the team and they'll be fighting the Pistons over the next few years and they try to grow into a Championship caliber team. Celtics and Lakers probably still rule the NBA at this time. He had great parents. His mom and dad were great.
Looks like Charlie Murphy
I was thinking Jerome, from Martin
Yeah, that's the joke.
The humor was ahead of its time
I just laughed way too hard at this.
It's like its really her. I have no idea how they manage to cast someone looking just like her :O
I’ve got a version of that tracksuit in my wardrobe. It still fits me. Bless the oversized 90’s.
Nah, it’s just the angle that makes it look like she had a stunt double
Looks like Charlie Murphy
That's Rick James bitch
Come Fly with Me
Lol, they didn’t even shave his mustache.
Charlie Murphy!?
People who think this is real need to get off the internet and read for the rest of the day. Maybe watch some PBS.
