Saw Bernie Mac live twice. Dude was hilarious. I saw Leslie Jones live way before she was famous. She opened for Katt Williams and absolutely nogged him and crushed it. This is because Katt had already been hot for a while and was running out of material.
Comedy is all subjective for the era it's released in. Standup rarely ages well. But Eddie Murphy was the GOAT at the time. Maybe even edged out Richard Pryor.
Quality is subjective for the time. You can't compare different time periods. It's apples and oranges. Saying xxxxx boomer comedian was never funny is the ultimate zoomer take.

pryor was fricking garbage
muh racism non stop
There -only- fair comparison for comparing between eras is how hard were people laughing and Pryor had people pissing themselves. He's probably tied for top two all time with whoever anybody else wants to put up there
Gen X reporting. I saw his RAW standup set live in concert. It was way better than the version we got in the movie. As far as his movie standup goes Delirious>>>>>> RAW.
But his RAW live bit was even funnier than both. But alas it is lost in time forever because it was live

Ced is funnier than any of the kings of comedy, broader appeal, more interesting perspective, just purely funny without having to be outrageous or play the disgruntled black man or be political all the time. Even his singing and dancing bits have a comedic purpose unlike say that piece of shit Steve Harvey. Bernie Mac is one of my favorite comedic actors tho, and his bit on def comedy jam was all-time (whereas Ced was sort of wack on the jam).
I never got him or thought he was funny. To me he just got by playing to the crowd for hype without being funny. ... Like WHERE CHICAGO AT! for cheap applause and then counting it on the scoreboard as as applause for a joke landing.
This will make you feel Christmassy, if you're up for that.

Were you one of those people who walked around thinking they were Eddie Murphy? Wearing the red jumpsuit? Sad
>this was the objective peak of standup
Not even close

Yeah, this is fair. It was alright at the time, but to say standup peaked with that show is ridiculous.
Delirious was a cultural phenomenon. I don't think it is out of line to suggest standup all time peaked with Delirious.
Peaked in quality though? That's how I read it.

Cedric was always based though
Its not funny
RAW has aged really poorly. But it was upper mid tier at the time. Definitely not Eddie's best
the opposite. just watched it recently. tell us what holds up for you
No
Delirious is.
I agree. Insanely good and seemingly effortless nonstop for however many minutes.
Sam Kinison's is second for me.
matt rife's next special should open with 10 minutes railing against homosexuals
