Eddie Murphy Raw

Eddie Murphy Raw 1987 is an American standup comedy film directed by Robert Townsend and starring Eddie Murphy. It was Murphys second feature standup film, following Eddie Murphy Delirious. However, unlike Delirious, Raw received a wide theatrical release. The 93minute show was filmed in New York Citys Felt Forum, a venue in the Madison Square Garden complex.

After emerging on stage for the live show, Murphy begins by discussing the angry reactions of celebrities parodied in his previous standup show, Delirious, specifically Mr. T and Michael Jackson, as well as homosexual viewers offended by his jokes about faggots. Murphy then narrates a phone call he received from Bill Cosby chastising him for using profanity on stage. Offended by Cosbys assumption that his entire act was nothing but filth flarn flith, Murphy calls Richard Pryor for advice. Pryor declares that his only concerns should be making audiences laugh and getting paid, and recommends that he tell Cosby to Have a Coke and a smile and shut the fuck up. Murphy elaborates on his admiration for the raw comedy of Pryor, running through a lengthy bit from his own teenage years about defecation, in Pryors voice. He then goes on to talk about how people who dont speak English only pick up the curse words in his act, and shout them at him on the street.Next comes an extended section about dating and relationships. Murphy explains that the rise of deadly sexually transmitted infections has motivated him to seek marriage, but the divorce of Johnny Carson and Joanna Holland in which she sought 50 of his assets has left him paranoid about the financial risk of marriage, concluding that no pussy is worth 150 million. He parodies the aggression and materialism of American women compared to the meekness of Japanese women, referring to the popularity of Janet Jacksons song What Have You Done for Me Lately. He jokes that he intends to go deep into Africa to find a bush bitch who has no concept of Western culture... at least until American women convince her to stand up for herself and demand HALF This develops into a broader warning to men to avoid the pussy trap, and a warning to women that men never remain faithful once a man has evoked a powerful orgasm from a woman ooohhhh she will tolerate all kinds of misbehavior, although she may pursue infidelity of her own. ........
