In the classic John Landis comedy Coming to America (1988), Eddie Murphy plays rib-tickling royal hind-ass Akeem, an African prince pushed into an arranged marriage by his parents. Fearing that his chosen chica is more in favor of wearing the crown than actually getting down with him as a person, Akeem and his loyal pal Semi, played by Arsenio Hall, set out for America to find the perfect Queen in Queens, New York. Posing as local folk, the two take jobs at a fast-food restaurant, where Akeem falls for the honey-dipped daughter of the owner, Lisa (Shari Headley). Unable to use his stately scepter for leverage, he goes to great lengths to get a peek at his prospective princess’s pert pair and return her to his kingdom. But getting the girls is a little harder when you're a fast food working fella instead of a prince, and Akeem's mom and dad aren't going to let him stay in the USA, if they have anything to say about it. One of the most beloved comedies of the eighties, there are all sorts of iconic scenes from the famous barbershop boxing debate with Murphy playing all sorts of roles under heavy makeup, to the Soul Glo commercial, all the way to the cameo from a then unknown Cuba Gooding Jr. But with all due respect to Bianca McEachin wearing a thong during a beauty pageant, the scene that most stuck with us, and the one that had us sticking our hands down our pants, was when we're introduced to Prince Akeem's morning routine back home in Zamunda. After waking, Akeem is bathed every morning by Victoria Dillard, Midori, and Felicia Taylor, all of whom are naked. We see their racks and cracks while they scrub the prince, including the "royal penis", but he's so used to it he doesn't even care. Wow. Akeem's living the dream in Coming to America
