Eddie Murphy’s 2025 Netflix Special Breaks Internet After He Casually Reveals He Invented the Dab in 1988
In a viral clip from his latest stand-up special, Eddie Murphy dropped the bombshell that his forgotten 1988 comedy sketch "The Humble Bop" was the actual origin of the viral dance move known as "the dab." Meme historians are now in a frenzy, with one user quipping, "So you’re telling me Dr. Doolittle was out here predicting Future’s entire career before iPhones existed?" The irony is palpable: a meme about a meme inventor being memed for inventing a meme he never got credit for. The internet is currently debating whether this is peak Eddie, or just peak chaos.
