You Don't Have No Ice Cream

A few weeks back, Will ordered Eddie Murphy Delirious from Netflix. I found the 70-minute stand-up comedy routine mostly offensive and, in the end, I watched only a portion of it before I fell asleep and dreamed in foul language of tight red leather and gold bling. 

I did see one part of the show--the delirious ice cream skit--which, at the time, I found mildly funny. Since then, however, the routine has grown on me exponentially because every time, every single time, Will and I hear the music of the ice cream man, we bust into the routine. Sometimes we bust into the routine when we are getting ice cream out of our own freezer.  Sometimes we do the routine in the grocery store when we are picking out some ice cream sandwiches. And sometimes we do it for no reason except that it gets funnier every damn time. 

It is so stupid this routine, basically consisting of this:

ICE CREAAAAMMMM! ICCCEE CREEAAAAAAAM! 

And then a little dance, with this:

I have some ice cream. I have some ice cream. I'm gonna eat it. You don't have no ice cream. 

Despite the profound stupidity of it, I highly suggest you watch the skit with someone you love, preferably when your kids and bosses are not around, and see if you can help yourself from yelling out ICCCCE CREEAAAM! next time you hear the jingle of the ice cream truck. Like me, here, embarrassing myself at the Farmer's Market. I cannot help myself.

Trust me. You'll be dancing on the frozen aisle of the grocery store in no time. Just please, refrain from wearing tight red leather with gold bling. Or, if you do, please post it for us all to see.

Too funny -- we rented Delirious one night in high school and I've never been able to eat Ice Cream without thinking about Eddie Murphy and screaming that song in my head!

[Laurie]

Been there done that, sung the song (without leather and bling)! I always remember how is mom used to make hamburgers but it was never like the McDonald's hamburger he really wanted! lol

Great shot. And, aside from some of the great SNL stuff, I've never thought Eddie Murphy was funny.
