A better question is "how the hell did Eddie manage to get ONLY an R?"

reply

lol have you even watched it before?

This came out in 1983 so the ratings were more strict.But this definitly deserved an R-rating.Its a stand-up routine with tons of swearing and talk of gay sex and plenty of other R-rated subjects.

Um, you DO have ears, right? ;-)

Strangely, in Britain the video of Delirious had 11 seconds cut from it (I believe it was the line about "I can't perform without my heroin") and it STILL had an 18 certificate (nobody undere 18 can watch it, that's technically stricter than an NC-17 in the US, although it doesn't have the same negative connotations). However, it's just been re-rated, and is UNCUT (the heroin line is intact) and it's rated 15!!!!

Strange the difference that 17 years makes!

Hair oil? He says Heroin, for sure.

The heroin line, the swearing the gay & AIDS references- the list goes on!

Because of all the *beep* *beep* & *beep* jokes.

Its Rated R because of Eddie cussing like crazy of course.
