Eddie Murphy - Delirious

...nice infotainin※...

This is by far the funniest stand-up comedy special I have ever seen. Eddie Murphy brings his A game in this one with no holding back. This special is why Eddie Murphy is my favorite stand-up comedian.

Good Condition

I watched this DVD and noticed something: as I was watching it, I knew 90% of it even though I haven't seen it in at least 15 years. Thats how funny I thought this was/is. I saw every punchline coming and I laughed outloud at every one of them like it was the first time I was hearing it. I was 13yo when this was shown on HBO and I remember people talking about it and imitating parts of it and it still goes on TODAY... I mean, look at the title of the reviews on here. lol. The brand new 34 minute interview didn't go in depth as I thought it would or should but it was still nice to hear Eddie's thoughts on something he did nearly 24 years ago when he was barely out of his teens(and his red leather outfit didn't match? Nobody would've known that if Eddie didn't say it in the interview). I often wondered why it took so long for it to come out on DVD. I wonder if it was because of the politically incorrect tirades on gays and the new(at the time) AIDS epidemic saying things like 'girls kiss a gay guy and go home with aids on their lips', etc... Did Murphy not want it released? Who knows what the reason is because it's out now and we can all laugh at something we watched when we were all(most likely) teenagers watching a new channel called HBO and laughing at how foul mouthed and funny Eddie was. Delirous is way ahead of Raw, his 1987 standup, because Raw seemed to be a bit angry. It's still funny but the two videos are so different in tone that, at least for me, I tend to gravitate towards the more fun of the two. If you grew up watching Delirious than it's pretty obvious you need to buy this as soon as possible. Worth every penny. "Goony Goo Goo, Gus"

1983! This was the stand up show that got Eddie Murphy in alot of trouble for his jokes on several celebrities, homosexuals, politics, and racial situations, but Eddie was skillful enough to "tell like it was" and at the same time embelishing some of the truth for explosive laughs. A great comedic show is never complete without talking about his childhood and he has it down to a "T!" The drunken father, BBQ Family cookouts, shoe throwing mother, and ice cream man bits were priceless! Some may get offended by the extendeded profanity Eddie uses, but he does'nt force it due to the fact that he had held back long from using the words on NBC's Saturday Night Live (if he wanted to "keep his job"). This was my second copy of Delirious and first professional copy period (my first copy was a DVD burned copy that I got from eBay that stopped working after a year) of which I purchased here on Amazon. Yes, I got the 25th anniversary version with deleted scene and private interview with Eddie about the preparation of the tour. Fire engine red leather suits and S-curls may not make a comeback, but the magic of Eddie's jokes has never left long time fans and fans of comedy overall. I urge fans of comedy to get this and 1987's Raw is as equally as hilarious. While you're at it, please grab a copy of his 1982 comedy album (you will get to hear his hilarious Richard Simmons and Buck Wheat parody of "Enough is Enough").

I remember when this first came out on VHS. I think I was 15? Anyway - for all these years, I have loved this show. I had it memorized! I think we watched it hundreds of times before it started to gather dust on the shelves...and then into a box when I moved...and another box, until it was lost and I forgot about it. Except for the fact that I still knew every joke!Come today. Hey, whatever happened to that old Eddie Murphy Delirious? Yeah, haven't watched that in years! Oh, it's lost. Well, maybe it's on DVD now. Wouldn't that be cool? A quick visit to Amazon and it is on its way to my house. Yaaaaay!Spent most of a Saturday folding laundry and watching this over and over again. It's as good as it was the first time, only now I have the perspective of a 40 year old. Same jokes, but they take on a new meaning. Doesn't matter how many years go by. This will always ALWAYS be my #1 favorite stand up routine of all time.No offense to the follow up, "RAW". By that time, Eddie was just cussing too much and kind of getting stuck on himself. Which is a bummer. Eddie was great back then, when he was still human.

My husband & I watched this together & laughed from the beginning til the end!!!! It reminds me of when we could all laugh at each other without being offended! Eddie was at his absolute BEST!!!! Great impersonations, hilarious comedy about his family members, the ice cream truck, etc... Highly recommended to anyone who needs quite a few good laughs!!!!

Classic comedy from Eddie Murphy. I'm disappointed Eddie Murphy has apologised for the jokes and humour - it was a reflection of the world as it was. Very funny and well worth watching!

Back when Murphy was fresh off Saturday Night Live, when he was a mere 22 years old, he was relentlessly funny. Fair enough he was crass and homophobic, but he was still hilarious. Delirious, combined with his other stand-up film Raw, showcase the once revered Murphy at the top of his game. This is the real Murphy, before the family-friendly, self-parodical screaming and shouting version came along.It's just a shame he doesn't do this any more.

Although some of the humour is dated and very un-PC, this is Eddie at his best and something he'll never repeat. Considering he was only 22 when he made this, it's a work of genius and inspired lots of current comedians, particularly on the Def Comedy Jam circuit. There is a catch-up with Murphy who commentates on the performance.

Nostalgic return to all things completely un PC.Don't buy this if you are offended by anything at all as something on here will upset you.If you can watch it with your tongue firmly in your cheek it is well worth a watch even if some of it makes you wince!

I don't think this has aged very well. Probably funny at the time. Yes it's politically incorrect but not necessarily that funny either. Just a bit boring.
