Summary: Eddie Murphy's raunchy, raucous stand-up comedy routine is captured for posterity on this tape. Not for folks who dislike foul language. (imdb)
Of course the racism and homophobia was wrong, and Eddie has publicly expressed regret over it. I don't really detect much hate though, just some dumb kid saying something insensitive for a laugh without understanding the consequences. What makes that bit of nastiness comment-worthy is that the rest of it is so genius. Eddie was a brilliant story teller, pop culturist and observational comic and, if you can get through the first five minutes, you'll be rewarded with a ton of great stand-up.
Yeah, I know Eddie Murphy's standup kind of sucks. (STOP LAUGHING AT YOUR OWN JOKES, A**HOLE!) But I loved this one as a kid, and it still holds a little charm. Unfortunately, the mentality is maybe 6th-grade level, while the language and subject matter are clearly very lowbrow adult.
In my opinion the greatest stand up comedy show ever. Some might be offended now with the crude humor but its a must watch. To this day jokes from this set are used.
Eddie Murphy's fucking hilarious in this and that's all you need to know. If Richard Pryor was the prototype Eddie Murphy is the finished product. It's too bad all that money and fame slowly deteriorated Murphy into a parody of himself but his comic timing and delivery was something wicked back in the day.
As a kid, I thought this movie was great, mostly because of the 'forbidden fruit' effect-- however, Murphy's comedy doesn't stand up to the test of time. Not nearly as good as George Carlin or Richard Pryor, in my opinion.
I laughed, Mutphy's really good at weaving all the jokes together and has pretty good timing on his delivery. Standup doesn't really do it for me though, particularly something where half of it is outdated and rather simplistic or offensive.
