There’s a movie from the 90s with Eddie Murphy called “The Nutty Professor”. It’s the first movie in which the trope of Eddie Murphy playing all the characters started from.
Anyways, there’s a line in the movie where the dad walks out of the bathroom after having just taken a shit, and he says “Whew! I feel 10lbs lighter!”
It’s meant to be comedy, but I just remember thinking when I saw it “10 POUNDS??? Holy fuck dude! Thats not something to joke about! You didn’t engage in a funny situation. You have a medical problem, and now you’re going to be in life crippling debt!”

Definitely not.
The costumes cameo of multiple characters started WELL before the nutty professor. “Being other people” was part of what made Eddie Murphy so famous originally.
Coming to America is, to my recollection, the first where he plays multiple characters.
I watched Coming to America several times before watching the bloopers that play during the credits and realized he also played the white guy in the barbershop lol
