The "Be Cruel To Animals Week" with Eddie Murphy holding the axe while calling "Here, kitty kitty kitty" was hilarious though. Written by Pamela Norris, with some assistance from O'Donoghue.Ī very good sketch, although the best material was when the Bizarro President finally entered the office after the setup. A visit to the Trapezoid Office in the Black House shows that Bizarro President (Joe Piscopo) does a lot of things the same way as Earth's Ronald Reagan. Michael O'Donoghue introduces us to a parallel world that replicates Earth events and customs backwards. SKETCH: THE BIZARRO WORLD: THE BLACK HOUSE This is a classic, but not quite my favorite Buckwheat sketch: some of the later sketches were a little better and more creative than this one, particularly the whole assassination storyline from season 8. I did like the "?" caption for the Buckwheatized "Bette Davis Eyes". The song titles like "Fee Tines A Mady" and "Barbah Ob Dabill" being put on-screen actually helped the joke a lot. Like Little Richard Simmons, it was a very simple premise (actually, pretty much the one joke) but executed very well. This is one of those sketches that is so well-known and often used as the representative for Eddie Murphy's SNL career, that it's a little too familiar. Eddie Murphy didn't have to say anything to get a laugh, as the audience reacted well to the visual of him in the wig and suspenders.
