The documentary showcases legendary early sketches like <b>&#8220;Gumby&#8221;<\/b> and <b>&#8220;Buckwheat.&#8221;<\/b> Murphy reflects on starting his career impossibly young. &#8220;I was really, really young,&#8221; he says in the film. The documentary shows how quickly he became famous and iconic.<\/p>\n<p>Murphy survived what many contemporaries didn&#8217;t. He lists peers who didn&#8217;t make it: <b>Michael Jackson<\/b>, <b>Prince<\/b>, <b>Whitney Houston<\/b>, and <b>Luther Vandross<\/b>. &#8220;I went through this minefield when I was just a baby, and I made it,&#8221; he explains.

Murphy describes checking his stove&#8217;s gas knobs repeatedly for hours.<\/p>\n<p>Murphy frames his comedy as an <b>acute sense of proportion<\/b>. Funny people notice details first. He connects his observational humor to compulsive behaviors. Now he catches himself mid-spiral and stops. &#8220;Nah, motherfucker, you ain&#8217;t starting that shit again.
