Product Description Stand-up comedy performance by Eddie Murphy. Genre: Spoken Word Comedy Rating: UN Release Date: 5-FEB-2008 Media Type: DVD
Amazon.com 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

The best after Richard Pryor December 23, 2009 Keith D. Bolton (Villa Rica, GA) This is Eddie Murphy's best standup performance ever. I had to get this for my collection, just as I have all of Richard Pryors work. Easy 5 star rating.
Can't get any better EDDIE!!! December 19, 2009 Syreeta N. Ross-hillman (Cali) This video will have you laughing from beginning to end. I think it is the Best of all his stand-up and Saturday Night Live.
Eddie Murphy Delirious August 26, 2009 Heidi Gray (Akron, Ohio) Has some profanity and comments about gays but if you are open minded you will find it hysterical!
Timeless June 22, 2009 C. Kesling (Northern Virginia) Whenever I introduce someone to Delirious, it is always followed by them asking if they can borrow my dvd to show someone else how funny it is.
The best stand up I ever seen. May 27, 2009 Antonio Russell (Chicago, IL) The first time I seen this I was about 7 and I couldn't believe the stuff he was saying. But I watched Delirious about fifty times since then and it's still the funniest stand up comedy to me.
