Editorial Reviews

Shortly before the end of Eddie Murphy - Delirious the irrepressible Murphy points out the irony of his appearing before an SRO audience at Washington DC's Constitution Hall, the same establishment which refused to allow black opera star Marian Anderson to give a concert in 1939. Murphy may not be in the same style of performance as Anderson, but no one can deny that back in 1983 he galvanized an audience as few other comedians could. Occasionally there's a PG bit involving Eddie's family, but for the most part the humor is raunchy -- as evidenced by Murphy's routine about Ralph Kramden being "serviced" by Ed Norton.

March 04, 2007: I LOVE this routine. Eddie Murphy is and always will be a comedy genius. The film is side splitting from the outset Eddie just seems to bring that uniqueness to the stage and makes the most basic thing funny. Revisiting “Delirious” 24 years after its creation is great to have. The material does seem to have aged as well as the transformation to this disc, but it's hilarious. The look of Eddie and some of the pop culture it consists of gives it away that this is the '80s however, enough of the material is comprised of solid universal themes it remains funny. I still laugh myself senselessly when Murphy launches into "I got some ice cream, I got some ice cream!" or "I want half!" He's a filthy mouthed funny guy that reminds me of Richard Pryor's vulgarity coupled with Bill Cosby's charm. He is a brilliant comedian with a tremendous standup presence. It's a shame Murphy has given up live performance, because “Delirious” proves he was a master of the comedy stage. The shocking thing watching the special is how offensive Murphy was back in the day, and how he offers no apology for the material. He was more hyper than he is now, more irreverent, and also a lot cockier. He does come off as a homophobe with his insensitive remarks, but you have to keep the era in context. He was protested by gay groups all along this tour, and surely outside of this venue picketers could be found (which was Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C.). If you're sensitive about politically incorrect topics against homosexuals and women, you just might want to veer away from this item. Other than that, “Delirious” is a great disc to own right now but was so long overdue.

February 06, 2007: Delirious is BY FAR the best stand-up comedy video, ever. It truly has set a prescedent for other comedians to follow. I have watched this video so many times, and still find it as hilarious as the first time. From the "You can't smack a woman anymore" bit to "GI Joe in the water" to Kirk having "relations" with a green woman, it is non-stop laughter. Too bad Eddie doesn't do this anymore, he really rocks :)
