Richard the Great…
I had a chance to watch Richard Pryor’s standup comedy act from 1982. Even though it’s over 25 years old, I was amazed at how he was able to balance comedy with socially conscious issues that are still relevant today.
I had to give you a clip of my favorite part of the show. If you’re at work, you may want to plug in your earphones because we all know that Richard isn’t always politically correct…this is hilarious!

On May 6, 2008 at 12:38 pmI had never really heard him do comedy because it was before my time but he is hella funny. I wouldn’t have known the clip was 25 years old if it weren’t for all those bell bottoms in the audience

On May 6, 2008 at 4:53 pmI couldn’t laugh at all his jokes, because I found some of them offensive, but for the most part he’s a comical guy. I’d rather see or hear acting in movies. The curse words and racial lines he crosses is just too much for me. I’m going to annoint this keyboard right now with some olive oil.

On May 6, 2008 at 4:57 pmThat was hella funny. That cat is a fool man. I was rolling, and wondering what is the point of three life sentences? That’s like asking the people in jail to kill themselves. They making sure brothers ain’t getting no parole or seeing no women. That’s crazy. If my mama knew I listened to Richard Pryor she’d kill me. That was funny though. I’m still laughing. He said they give you three life sentences so even if you come back in another life you gota go back. Lil boy in kindergarten and they like, naw gone back to jail you know what you did. lmao. that’s so funny. Post more funny stuff. I love a laughing and I needed that cuz now I got some jokes to tell my friends.
