    Eddie Murphy Delirious

    Eddie Murphy Raw

    Ok, I am not an Eddie Murphy fan.  At least I can't think of many things I've seen him in that I didn't think were crap.

    I watched these stand-up specials for one main reason.  I was doing a stand-up show of my own, and I had a bit where I talk about how much affinity I felt like I had for Eddie Murphy (the joke is if you know me that I obviously don't).  So I decided I would deliver a few of his jokes verbatim, but in my own personal delivery style and cadence.

    The guy is totally full of himself and I just can hardly relate to any of his material or his viewpoints.  And what is with the outfits this guy is wearing!?!?  They are ridiculous.

    I'm not saying that there was absolutely no time that I wasn't somewhat amused by him.  And I'm not saying that he doesn't have any talent because he certainly does what he does without missing a beat.  But I just can't relate.
