|
Feb 17th 2015 | 1
|
When? Where? |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 2
|
14-19 in small comedy clubs |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 3
|
says who? |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 10
|
ah so there's the rub..smh |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 13
|
Keenan Ivory Wayans |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 57
|
Eddie himself has stated this in interviews... |
|
Feb 20th 2015 | 248
|
SNL cast members and writers do standup all the time |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 4
|
Right. But I hear no stories about it. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 9
|
he lebronned that shit. put in work in high school and skipped |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 5
|
Maybe he's moe like Jordan and baseball. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 16
|
Jordan and baseball might be a good analogy in another way |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 134
|
That makes sense |

RE: How much stand up comedy has Eddie Murphy done? |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 6
|
^^^ I caught some of a rebroadcast w/Eddie hosting |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 15
|
He toured and worked out at NYC comedy clubs... |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 7
|
yea Chris Rock has some good stories about the Comic Strip |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 8
|
Yup. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 83
|
there it is. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 12
|
his stand up career was relatively short |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 11
|
I'm trying to understand his status as a stand up. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 14
|
that hurt my head and my heart |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 18
|
ive all but accepted it. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 20
|
naw the short duration + impact proves he's the GOAT |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 22
|
Im not convinced. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 24
|
Chevy Chase |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 17
|
the 30+ years obscures what he did |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 19
|
or maybe he didn't do it. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 21
|
its possible. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 50
|
right. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 59
|
couple things |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 23
|
Yeah, couldn't imagine him doing shows like that without that background |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 25
|
1. SNL; 2. 48 Hrs; 3. BH Cop; 4. Trading Places. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 30
|
what? lol |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 125
|
i was giving reasons those 2 shows could've sold out |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 129
|
But he doesn't have a history as a seasoned comic. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 26
|
why does that matter? |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 28
|
I'm trying to contextualize his career as a comic. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 31
|
now im confused |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 45
|
i was at lunch talking to ppl about SNL 40. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 48
|
i see what your saying |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 71
|
that very well could be. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 73
|
Dude was a standup for the first 8 yrs of his career though |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 62
|
great. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 66
|
okay. so he was seen more as a prodigy |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 29
|
Good for you. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 32
|
hell, you asked |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 36

Feb 17th 2015 | 53

|
Feb 17th 2015 | 34
|
5 yrs, huh? |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 37
|

|
Feb 17th 2015 | 42
|

|
Feb 17th 2015 | 49

|
Feb 17th 2015 | 95
|
that's dope. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 96
|
I think he was like MJ in a sense |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 47
|
sure. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 52
|
I dont think thats what sowhats asking about |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 27
|
the question/issue seems to be about quantity more than quality |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 33
|
he did much standup though..sw is just doing his lawyer thing lol |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 39
|

Feb 17th 2015 | 56

|
Feb 17th 2015 | 58

You're asking for "proof" from an era where there weren't camera phones.... |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 61
|
yet somehow history was recorded back then. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 68
|
Hey, Snarky McSnarkington, Esq., sorry if I hurt your feelings by showin... |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 75
|
should i copy and paste links to the YT videos from the 80s |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 76
|
Maybe the world isn't actually round. We should keep studying it. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 87
|
so you chose grace. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 89
|
You get really pissy when you're wrong |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 118
|
how was i wrong, player? |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 126
|
outside of reels for auditions and public appearances its hard |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 88
|
stories from ppl who were there are 'proof'. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 92
|
both of those were after he was already a movie star though.... |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 35
|
but wait |

Download his comedy albums |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 63
|
not what i'm asking. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 69

Feb 17th 2015 | 64
|

|
Feb 18th 2015 | 183

|
Feb 17th 2015 | 77

|
Feb 17th 2015 | 79

|

Feb 17th 2015 | 85

Feb 17th 2015 | 86

|
Feb 17th 2015 | 90
|
yeah. that. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 93
|
It aint that hard to research the answers youre looking for |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 82
|
yet you didn't do it. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 84
|
youre arguing something that doesnt matter |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 91

|
Feb 17th 2015 | 105
|
you got it, counselor |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 106
|
we'll try again. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 107

|
Feb 17th 2015 | 108
|
how did ya'll make this question hard? |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 109
|
The thing that kills me is that comics put in a lot of work... |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 111
|
exactly |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 112
|
seems simple enough. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 113
|
you answered his question. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 114
|
and that's great, player. |

Feb 18th 2015 | 127

Eddie Murphy Pieces of my Mind - 1986 |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 110
|
Damn bring this Eddie back!!! |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 122
|
i swear Rock's Top 5 was a dart right at Eddie |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 115
|
Ehh, or Adam Sandler? Same concept as Funny People |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 116
|
that could be a reason he was asking him to come back. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 117
|
i was thinking tucker |
|
Feb 19th 2015 | 187
|
after Pryor the Most Important Comedian,deal with it |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 119
|
Bruh Eddie's career is Prince like |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 120
|
Eddie's career>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Prince |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 181
|
he looked awkward as shit at the SNL thing |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 124
|
that's what made me wonder how much stand up he's done. |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 128
|
Someone could've written him a quick joke... |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 130
|
100% agreement |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 131
|
I think he could come back if he wanted |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 137
|
based on what? He has a very limited history |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 138
|
I think he has a natural talent for comedy |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 146
|
well obviously the only thing stopping him is him |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 153
|
The eddie that was on SNL 40... |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 133
|
|
And still does Purple Rain era music. |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 139
|
makes sense to me |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 145
|
Cool |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 152
|
maybe embarrassment due to cringe-inducing sections deriding gay people ... |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 178
|
If he was rolling with Rick James |
|
Feb 19th 2015 | 188
|
I made a post about this a while back. Eddie is a borderline hack |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 132
|
Maybe but that shit was funny back then. |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 141
|
OOO |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 144
|
I don't think you know what hack means - his material was original |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 148
|
these niggas yo |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 149
|
His material is hacky as fuck. It was practically vaudeville shit |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 151
|
I don't think you understand the criticisms of vaudeville |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 155
|
I think you fail to realize how anachronistic Eddie's material was |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 156
|
Was he vaudeville or 1950s and 60s? I'm trying to understand |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 158
|
Are you making the claim that his material was not anachronistic? |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 159
|
Only thing anachronistic is your understanding of comedy eras |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 166
|
LOL |
|
Feb 20th 2015 | 246
|
this post and that post are not the same at all |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 150
|
not at all. |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 164
|
So what if he uses funny voices to make people laugh.... |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 186
|
you are doing way too much in here lmao |
|
Feb 19th 2015 | 191
|
There is footage of him from the Comic Strip in 1983 on youtube |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 147
|
I see. You ppl think I was attacking Eddie's legend. |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 154
|
You kept saying, 'says who' and mentioned 'Jordan and baseball' |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 157
|
my goodness. the fanboys have sent an advocate. |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 160
|
I think Phil Hartman's 'Caveman Lawyer' would really resonate with you |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 170
|
cool. |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 172
|
thing with Comedy is that the routines and the subject matter |
|
Feb 19th 2015 | 190
|
I must be the only late 30s Black Man who thinks Eddie is highly |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 161
|
He is, but people have a hard time |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 163
|
so it seems. |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 168
|
^ not the point of this post. |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 165

So? |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 167
|
that wasn't for you. |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 169
|
Early 30s but never was a fan of his standup either |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 174
|
overrated? probably, but not garbage or anything. |
|
Feb 19th 2015 | 192

Wait Have y'all seen Delirious and Raw in the last 10 years? |
|
Feb 19th 2015 | 210
|
most of us have seen it enough times that it doesn't hit... |
|
Feb 19th 2015 | 212
|
I've watched both in the last couple of years, and my takeaway is |
|
Feb 19th 2015 | 213
|
complete agreeance |
|
Feb 19th 2015 | 231
|
So you think he's a hack as a writer then, not as a standup. Because if |
|
Feb 19th 2015 | 233
|
nah, I think his stand-up is weak |
|
Feb 20th 2015 | 247

Pryor is the King and Redd Foxx Party record King, Eddie though |
