OPINION Greatest Stand-up Special O.A.T.

[Mister]

What comedian had the greatest stand-up special and which one is it?

I'm going with my childhood favorite, Eddie Murphy: Delirious. My parents had it on tape(yes cassette tape) and I must have listened to that concert 100 times before the tape got lost. Could recite it word for word by the time I was 10. Nostalgia....

Raw comes to mind first

havent seen the other in a loooong ass time tho idk

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

My favorite is Chris Rocks Bring the Pain

Martin - You So Crazy

He doesn't have the body of work like the rest do in stand up, but he has the best special imo. I reference it more in my day to day life than any other one and I'm pretty sure it's been referenced in more songs than any other special.

Honestly slim I ain't disagreeing w/ you. I just can't think of any songs that reference it.

Shit only 2 songs come to mind as far as Eddie, and that's Jay Girls,Girls,Girls and Luniz I Got 5 on It

Pryor for me. Live from the sunset strip. I think it was the very first stand up special I've ever seen too. Remember grandpa watching it one night and I sat and watched. Part with him talking about arguing with his wife and shooting the car engine had me dying, think I was maybe only 8 years old lol.

I'd have to go with Raw. Never gets old
