I grew up watching this DVD. Netflix just recently took it off of there. So I wanted to own it. I've tried three different videos and two of them never showed up and the other one was made for the wrong region which I don't understand but this one is amazing it works we love it Thank you so much for this quick speedy delivery and for an awesome disc!

Disappointing display of non-stop vulgar "comedy" that was anything but funny. Minus the F-bombs, it would have been a silent movie. Unfortunately, this seems to be the case with most standup comedians. Gone are the days of Bill Cosby, Bob Hope, Red Skelton and Jack Benny, all of whom could be funny without being vulgar.

Most stand up comedy is reliant on timing – not just the timing of the jokes, but the relevance of the material. What was once cutting edge becomes passé; what once was a new observation is now cliché. So it is easy to look back and judge Eddie Murphy: Raw and be harsh. The material (sex, white people, The Man, etc.) has been covered countless times in similar fashions by today's comedians. Some of the material, especially the more homophobic segments, would probably not be accepted even in the relaxed moral atmosphere of the comedy club. But it is nearly impossible to deny the influence that Murphy and his routines had on a host of today's comedians, and Raw is a solid documentation of his work. It's questionable how much of Murphy's material was groundbreaking even when he did it. Richard Pryor is a very obvious influence on the The Adventures of Pluto Nash star, and it shows both in his delivery and in his routine. There's also a sophomore slump to deal with here - Delirious is clearly Murphy's best stand up work. Maybe it is unfair to compare the two, but Raw lags far behind the earlier work (Delirious, however, is not available on DVD – an absolute travesty). That being said, Raw does have it's fall-down funny moments. Modern day comedy audiences generally see celebrity impersonations as hack material, but Murphy manages to do not only decent impersonations, but also give them funny material. The extended bit about Bill Cosby calling Murphy and offering some unsolicited advice is priceless. In addition, Murphy is hysterical when talking about his own life. The best comedy often comes from reflection on a comic's life, and Murphy's ruminations on fame and how it has affected his dating life are funny precisely because they are unique. They are from his life, not from observing other people. If you have any questions about this review please contact us at contact@ck-auctions.com Posted by CK-AuctionsRead full review
This is a true stand-up comedy classic.Eddie does some of his greatest material.From Ice Cream Man,his Shoe Throwing Mother to Family BBQ and more,just pure gut busting,pee your pants,raw,hilarious comedy story after another.This is the show that really put Eddie on the map.Eddie has done some great things since "Delirious",but in my opinion he never topped this.If you want to see an excellent young,raw Eddie Murphy,watch this.It's not for the kiddies or people who get offended at cuss words(there are alot) or basically just get offended easily.If you are none of these,and enjoy great comedy,watch this.You won't be disappointed.
Arrived as advertised, haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but it was completely sealed, so I have to assume (for now) it will work just fine.
