Not Crap as a stand-up comic, though his AIDS and gay jokes are embarrassing today.

CRAP for today's family-friendly dreck.

Am I the only one who liked The PJ's?

Speaking only for myself, yes. The wacky comedy relief crackhead character however is way underused. 2.5 men could use a recurring wacky crackhead.

As a foil for the real-life one?

I always considered Sheen as more of a tweaker, however, point taken.

I revisited Delerious a few months ago -- didn't hold up too well.

say what you will but to this day eddie murphy can be pretty funny, even in his light-hearted family movies. off the top of my head: shrek 2 when donkey turns into a brilliant stallion and starts dancing in place and then strikes a pose. that one moment, just that one part, is so fucking hilarious i can't stand it. it makes the whole shrek enterprise have a point. or in bowfinger when he plays the dorky guy who works at blockbuster... also funny.

On the other hand, I caught "Raw" on cable while I was in Colorado and still totally loved it. The jokes, that is, not so much his outfit. But yeah, still funny.

Not Crap. What was funny back in the 80's still makes me laugh today. The Stevie Wonder bit on Delirious, for example, still cracks me up. Yes, the gay jokes seem pretty off these days, but the rest is really good - same with the movies from the 80's holding up.

Yeah, some bad turns with some of the family fare, but overall, Not Crap. WF=3
