Eddie Murphy Clone

Please give me an example of a bit that Tucker stole.

oh whatever. so you found two jokes that sound similar to something you heard 20 years ago on a standup. get over it. it was a 90 minute show.

two spots that remind you of something from the early 90's doesn't make him a "clone" you over dramatic clown

Yeah most notable was the opening bit.

This was painfully and almost embarrassingly unfunny. First he comes out and doesn't really address himself to the audience. No mention of where he's been or how glad he is to back onstage after all of these years. He goes right into a bit and in less than two minutes he rips off one of Chris Rock's jokes about dating a woman's representative. I don't think I actually chuckled at anything for a solid 12 minutes. After that, the laughs were very few and far between. Very disappointing as I was looking forward to seeing this. It's obvious he was very unprepared. A professional like Chris should have been working for at least a year on material for his big comeback.

I also noticed he limited his profanity. Not sure if he became more religious but he seemed to struggle onstage like he wanted to bust out but was being held in check.

I really hope he does another Friday movie because stand-up is no longer his thing.

I totally disagree. The meeting the representative line is from Chris rock's bigger and blacker. And he didn't even use the punchline. Secondly NOTHING from his act is from you so crazy, which I've seen a thousand times.

I laughed so hard throughout the comedy special. I thought it was very funny. Especially the church bit about his mither, the bits about his father, going to africa...etc. it was great. Even the Clinton and Obama bits were hilarious. Black people are very similar. So if he reminded you of Eddie that's why. I thought tucker high pitch voice was very much a part of his show but he also sounds like an older man. His bit about the uncle John actually reminded me of John witherspoon until later in the act.

The tax evasion bit, family asking for money was all original and hilarious. It took 10 minutes to warm up especially with the bit about the wife but after that it was hilarious.

One thing though...when he said "you're not meeting the real person, you're meeting their representative until you get married and find out who they really are". He slipped when he said the word representative. ..his voice faltered like damn. But he continued on. That one word is the only thing he said from someone else.

I had raw and delirious on vinyl and the bits are nothing alike.

i caught a couple but i wouldn't go so far as to say he stole every one of them. and i felt like the ones he did were so obvious that they were meant as more of a homage than a rip off.

I think it's a bit of a stretch to say he stole facial expressions, mannerisms, and voices (more than one comedian can do impersonations of the same person without it being 'stealing') but he did open with a stolen joke and that definitely set a bad tone for the rest of the show. There's nothing comedians despise more than when someone steals their jokes. Some viewers might not care but it's the biggest no-no in comedy. The Michael Jackson bit was hilarious and very well done though and kind of saved the show for me.

IS THIS EVER GONNA COME OUT ON BLURAY/DVD?
