Eddie Murphy: Delirious

I was 16 when my parents took me to see Eddie Murphy live in concert in Washington DC at Constitution Hall back in 1983. Unfortunately, since then I have never seen a live comedy performance come close to this one.

There is one point in the show where Eddie Murphy drops his microphone and starts laughing at what some person in the audience yells. Interestingly enough, you cannot hear it in the video. However, I know what was said by the audience because I was there.

On one side of the theatre a woman yelled, "Do Gumby!".

On the other side of the theatre, a guy yelled real loud, "Shut Up Bitch!!!".

This is what made Eddie drop his microphone and start laughing. You heard it here first. I am sure that if you asked Eddie himself, he would remember because it was too funny.

I've never laughed and giggled so much in my life! The first half kept me in stitches; the last half made me come completely unglued! I think I giggled for 15 minutes after the tape was over.

His timing and delivery for his stories is almost unequaled. And though he talks fast, you catch every joke. Which is probably why my "laugh center" was so overwhelmed; it took an extra 15 minutes to laugh at everything.

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

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.

It should be against the law not to experience this extremely funny stand up show with Eddie Murphy. I have never seen anything like it.

Murphy goes on for almost 70 minutes about dicks, pussy, tits and insaults so many famous people including his own "family". Among the people who gets it by murphy are: Elvis, Mr.T, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Mick Jagger, Luther Vandross and James Brown. I have seriously never laughed so hard of anything my entire life. I mean, when a person doesn't know who Mr. T is, but still laughs so hard of Murphy as Mr. T, there's something about it. At the time I saw the show I couldn't remember who Mr T. was but still laughed. Now I know who he is and that just makes it so much more funny. Because that's what Eddie do - he can make those impressions so good that it don't matter who the hell he's trying to do, it's still hilarious. And on top of that, we learn that Murphy actually is a very good singer. Please watch it..
