Review

murphy’s overrated standup routine consists primarily of jokes that revolve around male-female relationships. he jokes about how much tail he gets and how easy guys are and how manipulative girls are. all this goes a long way to explaining his 8 kids. most of it isn’t very funny either. there are a few laughs and murphy has talent, i just don’t think it’s as a stand-up comedian. he laughs at his own jokes too much. some would be offended by the content of the routine and would be turned off for that reason, for me that wasn’t an issue, it was just that the routine wasn’t very funny.
