Eddie Murphy: Raw

Eddie Murphy: Raw is hilarious. I remember seeing it theatrically w/friends in December '87, when I was in high school.

I mean come on.... Wow I'm watching this now for the like 500th time and I think it's absolutely hilarious.....

This opens with a young Eddie Murphy shocking his family during the Thanksgiving gather in 68. It's his standup in Madison Square Garden.

Many comics, like Jim Carrey, and Robin Williams, reach a certain age where they stop doing what they are good at and go into family movies. Jim Carrey was funny on In Living Color and Robin Williams has a certain magic with drama films, but now they continue to submerse themselves in the lowest common form of comedy.

What you're saying is partially arguable because apart from the filming and body language he did quite well on this one. I wouldn't necessarily say it's better than Delirious because the focus on both episodes are on different things.

I'm not kidding, my stomach is sore from all the laughing. After a brief sketch that serves as a lead-in and to some extent, a setup, this is 77 minutes of pure and gradually increasing hilarity(and there is actually insight to a ton of what he says).

Second only to Richard pryor live on the sunset strip.If you don't like it then black stand up comedy just isn't for you simple.

Raw and Delirious are staples in comedy. Eddie's comedy isn't dated and his impressions, skits are so memorable.

Eddie Murphy has to be the Richard Pryor of the 80's. He would star in these comedies that were just hard not to laugh at.
