eddie murphy’s 80s cackle gets its own AI voice clone, causing chaos at bank drive-thrus and dental offices
In the latest twist of internet absurdity, a viral audio deepfake of Eddie Murphy’s signature high-pitched 1980s laugh—specifically his "Delerious" era cackle—has been weaponized by pranksters using AI voice clones at automated bank tellers and dentist waiting rooms. The meme, which exploded after a TikTok user posted a video of a robotic voice suddenly laughing “N-n-n-nice!” over a slow ATM transaction, has spawned an unofficial trend called "Murphying the Machine." The irony? Murphy himself hasn’t laughed this hard since *Coming to America*, and AI ethicists are now torn between condemning the disruption and admitting the pranks are “objectively hilarious.” As one Reddit user put it, “We finally have a use case for AI that doesn’t steal jobs—it just ruins your credit score in the most joyful way possible.”
