This is a Roast of all the writers of the Richard Pryor Show. Sandra Behrnhardt and Paul Mooney are great unsung writers that just don't get enough credit. Spoon is the dad from Fridays, funny dude. RIP Richard
Pryor uses the pretext of a roast to say some stuff he is really serious about. When he talks of working with these people he says "it was hell in terms of whatever happened" and then immediately starts to ask about the lesser known staff. Amidst all this , he points out that someone was responsible for firing 4 of the 5 black cameramen, and replacing them with whites. You could see that Pryor is seething about this, but he dresses it up as just a bunch of roast jive. Damm, what a genius!
@Aratheman Very good point. People fuck each other every fuckin` second. The briliant ones know how to do it with style. Its never about black and white. They`re on competition ? lol. Black on black fucking or white on white fucking is everywhere. Don't just stop on the obvious ones. You just gotta know how to do it.
Richard is the one and only. What does Bruce Lee, John lennon & Richard all have in common? They may gain insights they may never have had in their normal life. They may access their inner knowing and contentment and speak words of deep interrelatedness between your state of consciousness and the external reality of things.
@Zenstea That was a great comment.... so true! Those three were geniuses in their respective fields and worked hard at their crafts... Real artists...
yes it is robin williams. Sandra berndhart (if i spelled it correctly), paul mooney, john witherspoon and others in this as well... awesome cast and luckily i bought the dvd box set a long time ago
If you don't like Richard Pryor then get the fuck out of here. Only Dave Chappelle comes close when it comes to stand up comedy! Richard Pryor Was, Is, and Will always be the Original King of Comedy!!! (LOL) Long Live Richard Pryor!!! Your Comedy will live on Forever! All you haters can go kiss Mrs Hippo directly in her ass!!! Peace!
Eddie is the man! I love Coming to America. He is definatley deserving of at least one Academy Award. Vampire in Brooklyn is my favorite vampire movie. Raw was so hard some parts are still hard to watch. There it is, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock are "The Untouchables"!!!
eddie murphy throughout his career is the closest 2 richard...dave chappelle is next nd as far as stand up comedy chris rock is next but in my opinon in stand up...jamie foxx is up there with all of em
Pryor is the Fucking King and always will be! No Doubt!
From 71 through 83 no one comes close to his consistency with "Craps After Hours", "That Nigger's Crazy", "Ias it something I said" "Bicentenal Nigger", Wanted, Live in Concert", "Live on the Sunsetstrip" and "Here and Now"
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
One more comment on Pryor... The man was lacking something if you look at his life. From the beginning to the end. endless drug energy.
There are no fools so troublesome as those that have wit. A mob's a monster; heads enough but no brains, Folks call him a Genius in his field... my experience in life is a Genius without education is like silver in the mine/mind Richard Pryors real life story.
I went to see Arnez J. this past weekend,he was hilarious! Not only did he keep the very integrated audience in stitches the entire time, but the most notable point of the eve was the absence of profanity, vulgarity, offensiveness! I have a pretty high tolerance for some things, I wonder why our comedians male/ female find it necessary to saturate acts with enough crudeness to choke a moose? Tone it down a tad & be funny without making my ears bleed from their rawness!
A comedian trying to come up needs to cater to his market. unfortunately, that's what a majority of the comedian patronizing public wants to hear. Or, That's the perception. I really can't fault someone for trying to do what they think is best for their career. Bottom line is that if we want change, it's up to us to demand it by not patronizing vulgar comedians. But with people like you offering a person a gun to kill themselves because of an opinion... well what can I say about ignorance?
LOL theres always someone on here that talks like they have some sorta BIG GOLDEN education...that use BIG words to try to sound intelligent...did I spell that right?....you have no humor or life..so go get laid snort some blow and drink getta couple lap dances then try to insult ignorant people you "pecka Head"
He must have been referring to you... People have to talk about something just to keep their voice boxes in working order so they'll have good voice boxes in case there's ever anything really meaningful to say.Sorry to say , with most... it seldom happens... that being said Mr. Rocker... I'll dismiss my self from this class and go hang with someone with a bit more Gold education if you don't mind!
Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something. Sound like someone you know? Can't imagine who that could be... Probably some snot nosed genius. !
There are no fools so troublesome as those that have wit. If you don't want to be forgotten
As soon as you are dead & rotten Mr. Gibson Rocker...
Either write things worth reading,
Or do things worth the writing. Your beginning to feel like a couple of my week end guest or perhaps that plate of fish I had for dinner... after a couple of days , both begin to stink! Think you could find another table to hang out at?
I get it,I'm in Ca & have been to the laugh factory to see other comedians.This language is offensive & despicable even today , but more-so then when Bitch was not a word you heard a man call his lady when describing her as Sexy. Today you hear a barrel of it passing school out of the mouth of kids younger than teens. Its not acceptable, the timing is off. I see no wit in continuous vile language to get a laugh My opinion!
because at that time you got censored to death back then now days everybody is cursing on TV and on cable.Unless you were raised during that time you wouldn't understanding it.
Poster is an idiot, never heard of a "roast"? They do it all the time on Comedy Central. The whole point is to verbally beat the shit out of the people there, hopefully being funny while doing it. Awesome videos by the way, so thanks for the upload, I enjoyed it very much.
You see world in two "colors" bad and good only??? Actually Pryor was one bad mofo criminal. I'm not meaning coke, I think he actually was involved in robberies and other violent crime.
From Playa66:"lol why do you even post a video you don't like"

I like funny shameless criminals, but I don't even like to compare Pryor to Mark Twain. Awarding Mark Twain prize to Pryor makes the entertainment establishment look like stupid children.
ah, Comdey served up Pryor style raw and in your face. I do miss you so much Rich. You were honest, brutal, quick thinking,funny and yes, just didn't give a fuck!!!...R.I.P.
