Light years before political correctness--1983 to be exact--or his comeback in tame Disney comedies, Eddie Murphy was a charismatic, wonderfully offensive, egocentric 22-year-old black comedian known for crude celebrity impersonations and often shockingly frank diatribes on racial and sexual politics. Dressed in a skin-tight red leather suit and delivering endless streams of obscenities faster than Richard Pryor ever did, Murphy is captured in this raunchy HBO special (a filmed document of his Grammy-winning album, Eddie Murphy, Comedian) at his confident, swaggering, comedic peak--a posture that soon disappeared after a string of bland Hollywood comedies. Here, however, his energy and sheer virtuosity command complete control over the audience for 107 minutes, whether he's mocking personalities like Elvis, James Brown, and Stevie Wonder, or spinning long, gag-filled personal anecdotes about the ice-cream man or dysfunctional family barbecues. There's no apologizing for the immature stereotyping, blatant homophobia, and sexism (though Murphy did so several years later) that surface during the routine. But, then again, unlike his much nastier, one-sided concert film, Raw, no topic here is safe from Murphy's uproarious tongue-lashings--including the comedian himself. --Dave McCoy

He Set the Standard with Delirious June 12, 2008
This is by far the funniest, most entertaining stand-up comedy show that I have ever had the pleasure of watching. I saw it for the first time years ago, have watched it many many times since, and still laugh all the way through it. He definitely set the standard. I strongly recommend that anyone who likes to laugh invest in this DVD - you wont regret it!
Best Eddie Murphy Ever! May 22, 2008

If you have never seen this or have watched it a 1000 times, it is one of THE funniest stand-up routines. Eddie Murphy is no Pryor, but before he sold his sole to Disney he was (and still is inside . . . I believe!) one of the greatest comedians of the 20th & 21st centuries. Not until Katt WilliamsKatt Williams - The Pimp Chronicles Part 1 has any comedian even come close to matching the hilarity of Eddie Murphy. Also, on the plus side, you can see just how funny the 80s really looked.
Funny - not for kids!!! April 1, 2008
If you havent seen this, you owe it to yourself. This is Eddie Murphy at his peak of his stand up days. He was young and uninhibited. If you can get past some of the foul language, you'll have an awesome time laughing. Caution, this is definitely for adults. And worth every penny.
Eddie Murphy Delirious January 7, 2008
If you are ready to laugh, buy this dvd. Eddie Murphy at his funniest!
Best Stand-up I've ever heard January 4, 2008
This is my favorite Stand-up routine. I was so happy to find this was finally released on DVD. These jokes are great. I recommend this to everyone, as long as you are not offended by bad language or touchy subject matter. This is very memorable and you will be trying to quote many of these jokes after you watch this.
