When I was a kid, my brothers scored two of Eddie Murphy's stand ups on cassette tapes, we had to wait till our mom was asleep and listen to them because she would had a fit about all the cussing lol. I love Eddie.
I was nine when 'Delirious' came out and I had to go to a friend's house to see it. We had to sneak down to the basement during a sleepover and found a copy of it on tape and laughed our asses off.
@@MrUndersolo I'm just a working class Irish guy, so lucky to have had Delirious on cassette when I was about 10. It was my Dad's, off limits, but still managed to hear it. When he sings and does impressions, wow!
Your reaction to this video is the best I've ever seen. I was laughing as hard as I watched you. I felt the same same way you did watching Eddie Murphy.
I used to work in a grocery store. One day one of my coworkers who was ten years older than me (I was in my early 20's) walked up to me and gave me a plastic bag with all of his Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor cassette tapes! His three year old daughter found them and was saying fuck at the breakfast table! LMAO! His wife told him to get rid of them... it was my lucky day!
I was 13 years old when I first watched this special and I also watched Richard Pryor live on the Sunset Strip I was on the floor rolling the entire day
Censorship was more lax in my bro's and my childhood. We grew up on Eddie Murphy, George Carlin, Monty Python and Bennie Hill. Children now aren't even close to how sick and twisted we can get.
Eddie Murphy is an incredible impressionist. He used to imitate Jackie Gleason & Art Carney from the old TV show, The Honeymooners. Lots of impressionists used to do Jackie Gleason. Art Carney himself said that Murphy's impression was the best. See if you can find the bit that he does about those 2. I think it's from the Delirious album, though it might be from Raw. Also, look for "Honeymooners Rap where he does a rap song as Jackie Gleason with his SNL co-star, Joe Piscopo, as Art Carney. If you're not familiar with The Honeymooners, find some clips from it on RU-vid. Gleason plays Ralph Kramden, a New York City bus driver, married to Alice and always getting into trouble with his working-class pal, Ed Norton (& Ed's wife, Trixie). The cartoon show The Flintstones was a takeoff of The Honeymooners.
Try some Eddie while he was on SNL. Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood, James Brown Celebrity Hot Tub Party, or Stevie Wonder and Frank Sinatra would be good.
35 here and I must say that very Eddie Murphy album my parents had on cassette and I wasn't allowed to listen to that for quite some time but when I snuck and listened to it and then later when I was actually allowed to oh my God it was so funny.... Eddie Murphy is a genius!!
Gus!! We're cooking hamburgers & franks. We're not cooking a muthafkn Brontosauraus Budget in this muthafuka. This ain't the mafkn Flinstones, Gus... This my house, Mathufka!!
I wish Eddie would do another comedy stand up just one last one cause he was brilliant. Hey if you haven't check out martin Lawrence stand up or brad Williams
That was a legendary (and mild) Eddie Murphy piece and a top-notch Scribecash reaction... Ok, so you have reacted to 2 of the 4 "Rushmore" comedians - George Carlin and Eddie Murphy. Two more to go!... Richard Pryor and Robin Williams. Who knows!... you might some day be a Rushmore reactor...; )
With all due respect, Robin Williams is not a better stand up than Chris Rock, Dave, Don Rickles or Bernie Mac. I give that 4 spot to mr Rickles. But the rest are baaaad men too.
