Eddie Murphy: Delirious

What a riot! I mean I love this "movie"! Its so funny and full of great jokes. I mean Eddie Murphy's impression of Micheal Jackson and Mr T has to be seen to be believed. Plus his incredible outake on life, especially family barbecues. I guarantee you won't stop laughing throughout the entire video AND you'll remember the jokes long after you've turned it off. I mean I still can't get the Mr T joke out of my head and I can't stop saying gooneegoogoo either. However this is one video you'll want to watch without minors present. I mean it has extremely coarse language. But who cares when its this funny, right? I guareentee you wont forget this "movie" in a hurry 10/10

I took my son when he was about 12 to see Delirious and we laughed ourselves all the way through it. My son was rolling on the grass at the outdoor pavilion. There was Eddie in that ridiculous orange suit and saying the filthiest, funniest s*** that he had ever heard--at least I thought he hadn't heard all that before. He was mature enough. We laughed driving home and repeated some of his lines. This is going to be my gift to my son for Christmas as a memory, but I will definitely open it and watch it myself with friends. Maybe I will have to keep it and order another for him. Anyone who likes the old SNL Murphey will love him is all his foul-mouthed language you could never think of. He is hilarious. If you are depressed or feeling low, you will laugh so hard it will do you good.

This stand-up comedy show from Eddie Murphy came out in the eighties, in an era where people were not constantly easily offended like they are now. It feels like you can't laugh with anything anymore now without offending somebody. I'm all for laughing at everything, it's just humor, it doesn't mean you're against something specifically. I write this because he shows starts a bit homophobic, but in the eighties it was all passable. I don't think Eddie Murphy is homophobic, not at all, so I thought it was funny, and no I'm absolutely not homophobic either. That said, Eddie Murphy knows how to bring a show, he's a born entertainer. Rewatching this old show was entertaining and that's what it's all about, good old entertainment, maybe not for everyone but surely for me.

If you haven't seen this, you do not know what you are missing. The first time you do, you will litteraly be in pain lying on floor throwing up from laughing so hard, and having probably wet yourself as well.

It is THAT funny. There hasn't been a single comedic performance to this date that I have seen that tops this or even comes close. So many classic one liners, stories, and segways..

The drunken uncle at the BBQ, Gi Joe, Mr T, goony goo goo, ice cream man, you say any of these things to anyone who has seen this performance and I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts they will not be able to keep a straight face and will burst out in laughter, or recite the rest of the dialogue from the act.

Pure classic!! Shame you can't get it on DVD..

Rating 10+ out of 10

If you were ever sad for not being able to get a movie on DVD, it was probably 'Delirious' you were looking for. How often do you laugh when watching stand up comedy routines? I was too young to see Richard Pryor during his greatest time, and when I was old enough to see Eddie Murphy's 'Delirious' and 'Raw' (not as funny) I never knew where Eddie got a big part of his inspiration. Now that I'm older, and have seen both Pryor and many of the comedians after Murphy, I realize two things: Everybody STEALS from Eddie, while Eddie LOVINGLY BORROWED from Richard. That's the huge difference: Eddie was original, funny, provocative, thoughtful – and more. He was something never before seen. He was all we ever needed. These days Eddie Murphy is boring and old – but once upon a time he was The King, and 'Delirious' was the greatest castle ever built. Truly one of the funniest routines of all time.
