[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. I really enjoyed it. Learned quite a bit about Eddie and other celebrities. [/quote]

OP here. I kind of enjoyed it, he came across as a really interesting guy. [b]But then I remembered his stand up from the 80s and how it was just "f*ck this" and "mother-f*cker" etc and just was not funny[/b] (I was a very young teen)

Also I looked up his kids. The eldest three all came from different mothers, including the woman he married.

I think there was a lot of bad behavior that was not touched upon. [/quote]

If that's all you got out of it, you weren't paying attention.  It was some of the greatest standup of all time, up there with Robin Williams.  [/quote]

Quote some great lines, please. Otherwise, no. BS. [/quote] I'm not the person you quoted and have been going back and forth with, but you’re remembering the language, not the comedy. The jokes landed because of the observations, timing, and storytelling. The words were just seasoning.

Remember his ice cream truck joke, something about how when you're a kid the ice cream truck is the highlight of your life. Every kid turns into an Olympian when they hear that music.  It was funny as hell because it was so relatable.  Kids nowadays won't get it, but back in the 80s , yes, the ice cream truck was EVERYTHING and made kids lose their minds. That’s why people put Eddie Murphy up there with Robin Williams.  Not because of swear words, but because he was sharp, observational, and charismatic. If you only remember the profanity, you missed the point[/quote]
