This review is from: Comedian (Audio CD)

In 1999, I lost my car due to flooding from Hurricane Floyd. This tape, among others, was in my car at the time. This is the only one that I felt that I HAD to replace. Eddie Murphy is amazing. These are the jokes that made him stand out from his fellow comedians. This is the perfect comedy CD. As always, this is an Eddie Murphy CD and there will be plenty of profanity. If this offends you, please don't by this CD. The rest of us don't want to hear you complaining. We're too busy laughing.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love it!, July 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Comedian (Audio CD)

I love this album. I've listened to it dozens of times since I first bought it on vinyl. The observations are so true and the jokes are so funny, and they just build on each other. Listen from the "Ice Cream" track to the end of "The Barbecue" - you'll fall over laughing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic example of 80's standup comedy, May 6, 2003

This review is from: Comedian (Audio CD)

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.
