Bruce Campbell, Jim Carrey and Eddie Murphy.

Three actors who do the best "fighting myself" bits.

"Someone better call an exorcist !" 😂

"That's it, I'm glad I brought my knife."
"Mm-hm, and I got my razors."

[IncredibleFulk]

“Sherman is GONE!!! Disappeared!!”
Eddie Murphy really went full ham in this film and it’s awesome.

[TheMindlessIntellectual.]

Buddy Love wasn’t a villain but more so necessary evil. He was simply teaching Sherman to be confident and that “no matter what you got to strut” he just took it too far for trying to take over Sherman’s life

“Life is not about being happy how much you weigh, it’s about being happy with yourself”. I’m going to keep that.

That to me is the biggest lesson of them all. For alot of guys including me, accepting that you're big. Indeed you can lose weight, gain muscle, being healthy, but no matter what you do, you will be big. Be proud of it and hopefully God willing you'll find someone who will love you for it

I’m glad Rick Baker won the Oscar for Best Make Up for The Nutty Professor, but I’m never gonna stop asking the same question: “HOW DID EDDIE MURPHY NEVER GET NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR”?! He played SEVEN roles in one movie! Most actors have a hard time playing two roles.

[Axel]

I just love Cletus’s running commentary.

[GiratinaofFury]

This is very much a "got what you wanted, lost what you had" story of consequences. Buddy was what happened when you removed the worst of Sherman, but also what happens when you removed the best as well. Buddy didnt have Sherman's size, his shyness, his insecurities, but he also didn't have his heart, his gentleness, or his humility.

What's great about the Nutty Professor is how well it takes the concept of Jekyll and Hyde and turns it into a comedy, but what makes the remake so great is that it almost feels like it's own version, especially with how it handles the characters of Sherman and Buddy, you like both of them, but are also torn about them too.

[coltenjm]

The chemistry coming off of the characters is unreal. That's called talent.

[Soul.Is.Willing]

The entire audience is silly not to understand what was happening during the obvious voice and body changes back and forth between buddy and the professor. They were confused until Sherman was 100% back.

[TZER]

1:37 *”It ain’t over till the fat professor sings!”*

"IT AIN'T OVER TILL THE FAT PROFESSOR

[dmz]

This scene is creepy seeing this now as an adult. As a kid, it never occurred to me that Buddy and Sherman were 2 separate identities and one of them wanted to kill the other to take control of the body permanently. Kind of disturbing when you think about it.

[reallifesomalilander]

"Someone Better Call A Exorcism". And He Was Right

[laciemeadors]

Jason only got in one hit, but he's a real one for looking out for Sherman. Respect.

[GHC]

It's amazing how well it cuts between the comefy and hearfelt drama, this teally brings tears to my eyes the older i get at the end there

[moseslalmuanpuia]

Those punches were so convincing. It really made me hurt

[techgirl]

Eddie Murphy is a genius! I had to laugh so loud with this film 🤣
