While I do agree that Farley is funny, his brand of comedy was more of the physical/slapstick variety. Eddie was at his best here (and RAW too; though I think this is better than Raw). An all around great performance. Witty jokes, story telling, impersonations, everything. He even brought the *beep* comments back at the end whilst impersonating Ricky Ricardo when he said, "..it's just so ridiculous. Hey fred, how would ju...". Three hundred and sixty degrees. Eddie WAS Delirious!

(insert nonchalant repartee here)

Along with Eddie Murphy's Delirious, I do recommend Richard Pryor's Wanted Live on DVD or Video. This one, as well or even more, brings "side-aching" laughter like Eddie's Delirious. You will laugh your frickin' a$$ off. I love the stuttering Chinese bit, it's my favorite.

So getting back to the question, 'has anyone ever laughed harder...'

Yes, Richard Pryor's Wanted Live...Check it out.

"and if you really don't understand: they send that stuttering muthafrucka over there to explain to ya"

"pinche ah oooh oh... OWH!"

"you just throw your money out and say 'here muthafrucka take something'... leave me the fruck alone'"

Yeah, I love that bit

Chris Rock - Bigger & Blacker

His material is as good if not better than as Murphy's, but his impersonations are not as good.

I guess he is Murphy's protege.

My top three is this, Pryor, and Chappelle's Killin them Softly

Chris Farley is pretty much an untalented hack compared to Murphy. Did Farley ever tell jokes? Nope. Falling over on stuff hasen't been funny since talkies were the new things on the block.

Probably the first time I saw Ace Ventura or Kung Pow: Enter The Fist or something, but the laugh value is reduced every time I watch it.
But Eddie's stand up is the same greatness every time!

Nope. Still the best standup show I've EVER heard.

A VERY close second, though, is Woody Allen's (!!!!) standup routines from the 60's. Even if you're not into Woody Allen at all, this is SO damn funny you wouldn't believe it. His timing is absolutely priceless. I can only urge you to find the CD with the complete 60's standup shows of Woody Allen. You will NOT regret it.

No. There were a couple of George Carlin specials, one Robin Williams special, the Chris Rock specials, and one Howie Mandel special that came close, but I don't think I've ever laughed at anything harder than at DELIRIOUS.

[–] Satans_Finest 18 years ago

maybe when i saw Raw.

reply

[–] ijonesiii 18 years ago

You have a right to your opinion. I thought DELIRIOUS was funnier.

[–] Satans_Finest 18 years ago

I cant really say, they both make me laugh. No matter how many times i see them.

Chappelles Live in San Francisco could compete, but I guess that Delirous gets the poduium, due to being much much earlier. Delirous was the only comedy skit during which both my dad and myself giggled hard... :)

I think somebody said George Carlin could compare with this. I really don't see George Carlin as that funny. Yeah, he can make u laugh at time but it's not as funny as this. I'm watchin' this right now and I haven't finished watchin it and I've never laughed harder. The only people that could compete, in my opinion, is Richard Pryor's most wanted(a couple people said that), Dave's Live in San Fran was pretty crazy, Sinbad too, and Jamie Foxx I might need security.

reply

[–] ijonesiii 18 years ago

Jamie Foxx's I MIGHT NEED SECURITY was definitely rolling-on-the-floor funny. I love the bits about J-Lo, Africa, and Prince.

reply

[–] skates2much 18 years ago

I liked the part about shaq and yea the part about Africa. The whole bit about Africa was funny.

[–] j_aracan 18 years ago

Um its a close call but probably the first time I saw Dave Chappelle do the Rick James skit
