5 out of 5 stars Classic Eddie Murphy.......2005-09-15

I loved it on video on cable back in the day...love it now. Brings you down memory lane!!!! Eddie Murphy at his funniest.

5 out of 5 stars For those looking, this IS the HBO "Delirious" concert set.......2005-05-19

Just wanted to clarify that for anyone looking for Eddie Murphy's very first HBO special "Delirious", this is it (the audio anyway). I'm not positive its that _exact_ night (him using a fan's camera to take a picture of his crotch isn't on this CD) but it _is_ the Delirious comedy routine. Its all here, gay Ralph Kramden & Ed Norton, gay Mr.T, Ricky "Its just so rediiiculous" Ricardo etc.

This is Eddie Murphy's first and finest routine. None of his later specials or even any of his films ever surpassed this stand-up set.

4 out of 5 stars Spawned a Million Hacks.......2004-04-25

Unfortunately, it's hard to fully appreciate this album today. Why, you ask? Because 99% of the "comedians" on ComicView and Def Jam have COVERED it, that's why. Their mannerisms, their material, their delivery...just about everything they do is derived from this great record.

In doing so, these thieves have killed the entertainment value of COMEDIAN for those who weren't around to enjoy it when it was new. But hey, buy it anyway as an act of protest.

4 out of 5 stars Classic example of 80's standup comedy.......2003-05-07

This album is a classic 80's comedy album. For those of you who have seen Delirious a lot of the main stuff from that video is on this CD. The Mr T material is of course classic as is the Mick Jagger description.

This album does have a substantial amount of swearing which may offend some people and you shouldn't buy this album by mistake if you're looking for something for the kiddies because they like Donkee from Shrek or Eddie Murphy in the Nutty Professor. The swearing isn't just mindless though it does fit the comedy.

A lot of the comedy is rather dated but it does reflect the times of the 80's. The Aids stuff especially related to the fear and unknown aspects of the disease at the time. I found it interesting his description of Michael Jackson which reflects what the king of pop was like in the early 80's. There's a fair bit of prejudice jokes against homosexuals, women and other races but if you can overlook that those jokes are pretty funny.

On this album Eddie tells about why he became a comedian, his childhood and other hilarious stuff. Some of the gags are obviously visual which is a bit stupid. It's not as funny as his earlier self titled one but it's still worth listening to.

5 out of 5 stars THIS MAN IS FUNNY!!!!.......2002-12-31

Just the other day, I was cleaning out my attic and I happen to find a cd with a fairly, handsome young man by the name of Eddie Murphy.

I didn't think nothing of it, I thought it was another R&B classic, but I came across the word "Comedian", and just got hooked to the cd. I stopped what I was doing, and played it on my stereo.

This CD is hilarious. It begins with Eddie Murphy talking about faggots, and how he's scared of gay people. The most offensive, but funniest part was when he wondered if Mr.T was a faggot. He was imatating a gay Mr.T and the guys from the honey mooners.

Eddie Murphy pokes fun at all the celebrities from Mick Jagger to Stevie Wonder. My favorite tracks is "Singers", "Ice Cream Man, Shoe Throwing Mothers"and "The Barbeque". I like this CD not only because it's funny, but it takes you back to childhood,and by me being from the "old school" I could relate to some of the stuff he said that reminded me of "real life"

Boy, you just didnt know how excited I was finding this CD. This CD happens to be funnier than a lot of comical CDs that were out after '83. This is a CD you just cant live without. Though, Eddie Murphy wasnt this funny after Delirious, I rather stick with THIS Eddie Murphy, when he was new and knew how to kill a crowd with his hilarious jokes.

Eddie, you did a good job. Wished you could have made some more comicial albums like this. I almost died listening to you!!! Fans, if you're feeling down and depressed, or just looking for a good time, buy this CD. You wont be disapointed.
