She Knows I'm Good...Eddie Murphy RAW Thoughts!

Alright, alright, alright... So I revisited Eddie Murphy Raw the other night. Still holdin' up, man. I mean, some bits def feel dated, right? Like, the whole Cosby sweater thing and the AIDS jokes... whew. But Eddie's energy? Untouchable. He's got that 'anything goes' vibe, that 'I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that' level of confidence that just sucks you in. He's giving it to you! I'm talking spitting, sweating, and owning the damn stage. I was cracking up at the Mr. T bit -- "I pity foo', I pity foo'" -- and the Stevie Wonder impression is chef's kiss. But the real gold, I think, is in his relationship stuff. The whole bit about women wanting your soul? "She knows I'm good!" It's so brutally honest and kinda cynical, but also hilariously relatable. Anyone else feel like he was onto something there? It's less a joke and more 'real talk' from a dude who clearly had some interesting dating experiences, haha. One thing I always wonder about, though... Did his parents ever get tired of hearing about Mom's hamburgers? I mean, it's a classic bit, but imagine hearing that your food is stand-up material for years! Hilarious, but also kinda...ouch? Anyway, what are your favorite moments from Raw? Any bits that just haven't aged well for you? Let's discuss! "We're not worthy! We're not worthy!" (lol, sorry, had to).
