In the scene with Eddie Murphy and Dave Chappelle, their dialogue was mostly improvised.
The family scene was nearly cut out of the final film due to lack of relevance with the film's plot. However, the Klump family turned out to be one of the most popular elements of the film, so much that the Klumps got a greatly expanded presence in the sequel, Nutty Professor II: The Klumps (2000).
Dave Chappelle said that Eddie Murphy complimented his standup work on his first day on the set. Chappelle really took that to heart as he cited Murphy as being a major influence on his career.
Eddie Murphy handed Jerry Lewis the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Oscar. He said before handing it to him, "from one Nutty Professor to another."
Eddie Murphy admitted in an interview that Grandma Klump is just his impersonation of comedy pioneer Moms Mabley.
"Grandma Klump: Come on, Cletus! It aint nuthin' but a short walk. You might walk over, but you limpin' back! I aint no easy win, nigga!"
"Mama Klump: Sherman, I think I do remember hearing something on TV about colon cleansin'. They say everyone should have one. I'm thinkin' about gettin' me an appointment and go down and get my colon cleansed thoroughly. Papa Klump: You want your colon cleansed? Fine, I'm gonna clean mine. [lets a loud fart, and Ernie Klump Jr. starts laughing harder and harder] Papa Klump: There. Now my colon is clean. I'm talking squeaky clean. Mama Klump: Cletus, that is disgusting. We're tryin' to have a meal and you wanna start breaking gas. Don't break gas and destroy our meal. Papa Klump: Don't tell me to stop! You're the one that brought up colon cleansin' and all that mess! Mama Klump: I did not say anything about breakin' gas! I said I was going to get my colon cleaned. Papa Klump: Don't you talk about putting a tube up somebody's ass, but I can't break wind. Mama Klump: I didn't say nothing about putting no hose up nobody's ass. Cletus, I said... Papa Klump: What you think a colonic is? You think you're gonna run your asshole by the car wash? [Ernie Jr. starts choking from eating and out of control laughter] Mama Klump: You're choking the baby. Papa Klump: As long as I pay the bills, I do what I want at this table. Case in point. [lets another loud fart] Grandma Klump: Who's that calling my name? Mama Klump: Yeah, I'll call you up if your name is... [farts in finishing his sentence, then laughs in mockery] Grandma Klump: Keep insulting me. [picks up a knife] Grandma Klump: I'll toss this between the crack of your ass. Papa Klump: Yeah. You know, I can go all night. [lets another loud fart] Mama Klump: Keep farting. I hope you fart until your asshole falls out. [Cletus lets another fart, Ernie Sr laughs loud and then Ernie Jr. manages to follow along] Mama Klump: Oh, my baby too! [Cletus lets another loud fart that this time sounds wet] Papa Klump: Oops! Now, see what you made me do? [starts running away clutching his pants] Papa Klump: Goddamn it, I messed up my pants! Ernie Klump: Damn, daddy. You rotten. Mama Klump: You've got to clean 'em yourself!"
