Review of
Eddie
Murphy Delirious DVD
Three out of five stars
In his time on
Saturday Night Live and in many movies that he starred in after this video was
made, Eddie Murphy demonstrated that he did not have to curse in order to be
funny. He has a very distinctive laugh, is capable of producing many different
facial expressions and has a keen sense of comedic timing and intonation.
However, from
this video, it would appear that at that point in his career, Murphy thought
that the only way he could generate significant yucks is by using the hardest
swear words a lot. Which is unfortunate, for a few of the jokes that he
delivers are very funny. I found the endless repetition of curse words to be
dull after a while. Murphy can be so funny and for a very broad audience, in
this case it only works for a specific type of person.
