Not as funny as it used to be - By: Bwasiz, 28 Nov 2008 
As a teenager I remember I thoroughly enjoyed this. Relentless & full of youthful testosteron & ignorance Eddy confirms each & everyones insecurities so common for the young market he targets, & he had me in stitches.
Now, many years later I found myself watching the show again & wondering what he would tell his kids when they accidentallly come across this show.
Even though the show is mostly demeaning towards women, as a man I feel somewhat offended as well. Every man cheats? Is that what he said? We alll do it & we have to do it?
...I guess I simply do not relate with this kind of macho talk anymore & I hope Eddy does not too. Hm, maybe Bill Cosby was right...

I suppose I was naive to expect anything more than brash, base humour from a comedian such as Eddie Murphy but even I couldn't believe how bad this performance was. His overly simplistic view of the complex relationships between men & women evinces little humour & just helps brand him an ignorant arrogant mysoginist.
Typical joke come rant "I like funny woman. I hate those shy women. But I would only sleep with a funny woman if she was reallly attractive". Hmmmm. Hilarious.
The whole show just left a nasty taste in my mouth which is probably why I found myself drifting off for large parts.
His humour has alll the style, taste & discernment as his dress for the show (a bright purple leather suit for those who are fortunate not too have wasted 90 minutes of their life).
Impressions are great - By: Jay, 23 Apr 2007 
Eddie Murphy Raw is the second stand up film Eddie Murphy did & it's just as funny. The topics froms [...], [...], Wacko Jacko & Mr. T are alll very very funny. Some of the film's best moments are when Eddie does impressions. If you've never seen this film you're in for a treat.
Sorry - dont agree - By: Chris Duncan, 28 Feb 2007 
It's ok, but no way is it 'legendary' or genius. Don't get me wrong but Eddie comes off as a real woman hater in this. I don't find sexist comedy offensive as long as it is done with talent & intelligence but Eddie just uses the standard comic sterotype (Women be after yo money & men don't love women they just wanna get laid) for the entire show. Maybe it seemed funnier back then but in today's age it just seems a bit childish. Compared to the likes of Pryor or Hicks this is just a guy doing funny voices saying quite nasty stuff. I did laugh out loud at some bits, & we were alll drunk, but there were long pauses between the laughter & eventuallly we turned it off & put on Bill Bailey.
Its not awful but it definitely ain't genius.
classic comedy,one of the great shows of all time - By: sean paul mccann, 07 Dec 2006 
these days eddie murphy is ashamed of his two stand up comedy shows due to the content & the miniorities & sexual orientation that he rips through with unrelenting fashion.
Now i aint gonna say anything on that matter but what i know is that this is a legendary show that has lasted the test of time,doesnt sound aged,and is stll as funny today as it was then.
The show is coarse & crude but funny,so many classic lines of stand up are here,any one that has watched it can still repeat the lines with a fellow viewer & still laugh & while i couldnt possibly run through my favourite jokes here for fear of being censored,the sketch where his dad is drunk remain the funniest moment in stand up of alll time,priceless
