...make it through the first 10 minutes of very uncomfortable and pretty offensive and unfunny homophobic humour and then enjoy the show from there...

Eddie Murphy dando uma aula de stand-up, o show do cara era muito foda.

Not quite as excellent as some have proclaimed it to be (at times Murphy seems but a pale imitation of the greatest comedian of all time, Richard Pryor), but still damn funny. Standup fans should love it. It has some rough patches but when it hits the mark it's fantastic.

It's dated, it's WRONG, it's offensive (he's apologised) - its the greatest stand-up routine of all time. When I was 12 years old, I memorised 'Delirious' word for word. Can you even imagine what an obnoxious little shit I was?
I can still recite it now!

La mejor parte es ya despues de la mitad cuando comienza a hablar de su niñez y familia. Con el tio Gus y la tia Bunny, el zapato de la Madre y el Padre ebrio - oh shit, como me reí. Uno de los mejores stands up. A pesar de que tiene varias partes demasiado contextualizadas, la mayoría es humor que funciona ayer, hoy y mañana.

hands down my favorite stand up routine of all time

Continues to be funny despite the numerous revisits. Had it on while I worked.

It doesn't hold up as well as you want it to. With a lot of the jokes either falling flat or just being very dated, both in content and - most especially - in context. But what does still work, works very well - displaying Murphy at his rock star peak - accentuating why we used to love this guy so much. And, I'm sorry, but "gay Mr. T" will ALWAYS be funny.
