Goddamn, is that a motherfucking brilliant set. It would be very interesting to hear him do stand-up today, to see how his humor (and perspective) has evolved.

Favorite Eddie bits (stand-up, SNL, movies or otherwise)?

he'd be shite now with all that kids shit he does these days. since he got kids he stopped doing adult stuff. richard pryor didn't stop as he said it was the way he spoke that put the food on the table and explained that to his kids

My ONLY beef with raw is the absence of the audience shots, I don't know why, but seeing people's expressions makes stand up even more worthwhile to me.

That being said, Delirious was his finest hour.

Well, his buddy, Chris Rock, does adult stuff. So maybe - if he ever went back to stand-up - that wouldn't be an issue?

When Tom Waits made a concert film (Big Time), he said they didn't shoot the audience so as to lessen the dating of it. Maybe that was the decision with RAW, as well?

Ya know, I've never seen it. Will rectify that this week!

what wouldn't be an issue? you mean he would do adult stuff and not care about his kids or wouldn't do adult stuff and not care about the audience?

all he's done is kids movies for the last god knows how long. instead of a return to stand up he might wanna appear in a few adult comedies first to prove himself and gain his audience back and then go on the road. it worked for dane cook

I love the bit where he gets teased by the neighborhood kids

cuz his moms makes the burger instead of getting Mc Donald's.

Might be on raw or delerious not sure. Also Mister Robinsons

neighborhood from SNL.

Former.

he did say he's thinking about doing standup again but eh....sounds more like a commodres or jacksons reunion. not gonna happen....although hes still one of my favorites of all times.

and my favorite is delirious...then raw...then his stuff on SNL. sometimes i watch some of his more recent interviews for fun...he still has it, it comes out sometimes.

i love delirious and raw. theyre both brilliant.

Love this.....havnt watched it in ages but wasnt there a part about going 2 a restaurant and the staff pissing in ur food???Gonna have 2 find this out and watch it...

....I got McDonald's...I got McDonald's...and you can't have none...and you can't have none...cuz you're on welfare...and your father is an alcoholic...

I think Eddie has just become complacent. When he was on Inside the Actor's Studio he spoke about the process to developing a good stand up set, where you have to write and go to clubs to try things out and keep going back and forth, and all the vulnerabilities that come with that especially as someone who has amassed so much fame while away from the stand up comedy game. He then ended by saying, while he was excited about the prospect of doing that he was somewhat unwilling to start that process over again or at least trying to find the right to time to do so.

I saw that interview. I like watching him in interviews he's still really funny when he wants to be.

Brilliant! Eddie was just on a roll in the 80s...... and these are 2 of the best comedy dvd's around. Eddie didn't give a damn what he said and didn't care who he offended he was indeed ''raw''
