Eddie Murphy: Delirious (1983)

Eddie Murphy shot to fame with Saturday Night Live and cemented his status as one of the funniest comedic actors in the 80's with movies such as 48 Hrs. (1982), Trading Places (1983), Beverly Hills Cop (1984), and Coming to America (1988). The 90's however were a mixed bag for Eddie Murphy with numerous flops affecting his star power as well as deciding to head down the family friendly path which is a total shame.What can I say about Delirious? To sum it up, it is damn hilarious. I was in stitches throughout this entire time. You have to see it yourself, especially if you are an Eddie Murphy fan. There are far too many hilarious moments in Delirious which I just cannot describe. Nobody is spared and Eddie Murphy did not pull any punches throughout the entire show. It goes without saying that Delirious is well known for its use of strong language and strong sexual references, as well as Eddie Murphy using a total of 230 f-words.I miss the Eddie Murphy of old which was a million miles funnier back in the day. This is Eddie Murphy which audiences knew and loved in his prime. Foul mouthed, politically incorrect, intelligent, witty comedy at its very best.Highly recommended for all Eddie Murphy fans and anyone who loves foul mouthed, politically incorrect humour.Certainly not recommended for anyone that is easily offended.9/10.

I was 14. I was sitting there in study hall, listening to my iPod. After finding out Eddie Murphy had been a stand up before an actor, I became intrigued. I pressed play and my life changed. The next day I showed it to my best friend . We laughed audibly for the entire study hall, constantly being told to shut up (our study hall teacher liked us, or we would've been asked to shut the iPod off). I still remember almost every line in this show. I have seen it many, many (countless, really) times, and it honestly influences me as a person on some level. I never knew anything could be so funny up until that point in my life, and every time I listen to it, it remains relevant and amazing. I am now older than Eddie was when he made delirious and I can still, probably even more so to be honest, appreciate the pure genius of this film. I believe it is probably the best stand up film ever made, although there are plenty of great ones. It is definitely one of the best of all time though...go watch it now.

This is the best stand up act I have ever seen committed to film. I had the VHS tape of this and have only recently got the perfect DVD of it. This guy is truly gifted, even at the age of 22 he was a master of impersonations! His renditions of Mr T, Elvis Presley and even Michael Jackson amongst many others are all side splittingly funny and accurate. The research he must have done, and even rehearsing to get this act so so perfect must have been tremendous. Have seen the majority of and even the best of Eddie Murphy's films, but none come even close to this for just genuine hilarity. Comedy fans will love this from second one to the end

I can understand when some people don't like this stand up due to the prolific swearing, but as Eddie said his show is more then curse words. The topics covered in this hour of pure entertainment are simply astounding. I have watched this movie over and over and still find myself laughing out loud. If anybody here is a fan of Eddie this is definitely worth the cost of a rental. Also it is down loadable on Kazaa or limewire or bearshare. I have seen Raw as much as I have seen Delirious and to me delirious is superior. His impressions are dead on, his laugh cracks me up. It is truly a shame he quit doing shows after Raw because it appeared he had so much to offer. The comedy he is doing now is funny I guess, but fails in comparison to him in his prime. I hope he comes back, George Carlin and Richard Pryor are proving age doesn't slow you down, just makes you wiser.
