You'd have to be really fucking stupid to not understand that this is a bit on the white misconceptions toward black culture.

[Ethan Davidson]

It's a parody on realy stupid white people who are totaly inept and condescending towards blacks while still thinking they are being realy nice. It was cutting edge humor at the time, and it still cuts now.

Nah richard Pryor is better

[12inchvertical]

it slayed back in 1960, obviously. Shows how fast our society changes that it seems so polite compared to Pryor's work from the early 70's

Lenny Bruce and Mad Magazine. In my youth, these were my Parental replacements. Through the sardonic and sarcastic humor, the biting commentary on the issues of the day, I became educated as only truth can teach. Lenny had his own issues, and he unabashedly shared them with us. Lenny may have been caustic, snide, and pornographic, but just take a look at the world then and look at it now. Lenny saw it as it was and as it always will be. What else can one do but laugh?

Not that surprising. Carlin, I think, openly admitted to being inspired by Lenny.
