Richard Pryor dead....
Just breaking now.....Comedian Richard Pryor has died. He was 65.
Was only watching one of his DVDs yesterday-had me in stitches. One of the best comedians ever. Multiple sclerosis

Jawa, I don't wish to offend but your comments and the words "ignorant" and "uneducated" spring to mind.
Keeping this thread on track, Richard Pryor gave me many, many laughs and his stand-up videos totally outshone his film roles. The man was a forerunner of people like Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence...he really broke the mould and had black americans laughing at black americans and made it sound for whites to laugh at black culture as well. It was sad to watch his decline with MS over the last few years and I hope he died happy in the knowledge that through his work he provided much happiness to millions of people. Rest in Peace Richard Pryor, one of the great funny men.

His stand up stuff was way better than his movies, and got you a bit closer to Pryor the man IMO.
He did have a lot to answer for though, if it wasn't for him there'd be no Eddie Murphy, and therefore no 'Nutty Professor'

I never warmed to Eddie Murphy at all!
His "how not to get your *** kicked by the police sketch was a good example"
and if you don't laugh at the don't ban guns, ban bullets sketch, there is something wrong with you!
His films are a bit poo though!
