And while many people have claimed that Eddie is nothing but a misogynist with his rantings now, it has to be said that there has to be some truth to what he is ranting about. There is also some great bits in here about women, dating, and marriage. His ensuing conversation with Richard Pryor is also quite funny. This is one of the funniest parts of the show as his voice and idiosyncrisies of Bill are right on. He also does impressions of what I can only surmise has to be a real life phone call from Bill Cosby. The first half an hour he does impressions of some of the same people he did impressions of in DELIRIOUS. The first half an hour is on par with his previous stand-up. However, it is still is one of the funniest stand-ups around. This is not quite as funny as Delirious, but nothing could be. Reviewed by baumer 7 / 10 Tell Bill I said have a Coke and a smile and shut the up! I almost had to sit down and have a long talk with myself about right and wrong. Going into this with only average expectations I came out very surprised at what I just saw. Raw is the sequel to Delirious, which is one I will be sure to see in the future. I'm sure Eddie cares about women, but some of the things he says about divorce is relatively, right on the money.īy the end of the special, it goes a tiny bit downhill which is exceptional because most of the beginning was hilarious and very funny. But it's hilarious and has its own truth behind it. The language in the film is absolutely filthy and the women dialog is incredibly misogynistic and degrading. He gives his realism approach to everything, and even shows sympathy for Johnny Carson losing half of his money to his wife after their divorce. The comic discusses sex, women, actors, why whites can't dance (coming from a white man, so true), why Italians are motivated by Rocky, divorce, and just the topic of life itself. These are two little pieces of his history that are now overshadowed by his lame kiddy comedies.Įddie Murphy Raw is a ninety minute comedy special of him performing at Madison Square Garden in NY's Felt Forum. Eddie Murphy doesn't do anything like Delirious and Raw anymore, or does any sort of stand up comedy at all. Eddie Murphy is no exception now doing such things as Daddy Day Care, Imagine That (remember that?), and those countless Shrek films.īut, with Eddie Murphy Raw, this was shot in 1987, when Murphy was a very vulgar and hilarious comedian. Cheap bathroom humor and little kid comedies that are in no way funny, nor clever. Jim Carrey was funny on In Living Color and Robin Williams has a certain magic with drama films, but now they continue to submerse themselves in the lowest common form of comedy. Many comics, like Jim Carrey, and Robin Williams, reach a certain age where they stop doing what they are good at and go into family movies. Reviewed by StevePulaski 9 / 10 Raw to the bone
