That white boy voice that him and Chappelle do are from the same school.
So is their 'N' word
Patrice's one is one of the best too, and they still have names, Phillip and Susan
It's no secret that Chappelle was influenced by Pryor
@@mclovinu69 as were most stand-up comics, regardless of skin color.
PS: your username is as funny as it is disturbing... well done!
@@mclovinu69 - in the bedroom too...
You can see the influence he had on today's comics.
Comedy and more. Legend.
He's the Godfather of modern comedy
Most definitely
Or maybe the police just haven't changed
uh yeah no shit did you just now figure that out?
Im glad to see people NOT forgetting Richard Pryor. He was one of the top best comedians ever.
One of the trinity
Why would anyone forget about Richard Pryor? Dude was legendary.
He WAS the best.
Love his stuff though i prefer more articulate comedians.
@@Pinckneyrf who are the other two? Eddie Murphy is one? I'm from the UK so may be ignorant to others. Was it George Carlin?
How can there be _any_ empty seats at a Richard Pryor show?
I see you are well cultured in the world of comedy, not just politics.

Oh shit I don't know..maybe someone didn't show up? 😳
Maybe they went to the bathroom
If you want to know the truth about society? Listen to comedians. They tell the true narrative of life and for some crazy reason it makes use laugh because we know it’s the truth.
EXCEPT the system also uses “comedy,” mostly of the very unfunny flavoring, to brainwash the masses. This is more true now than ever.
But yes, they lie on the news and put truth in movies. That kind of thing.
Yup
Rappers to some degree, too
Look at the modern version of comedy, do you think meme culture has been good for society? Comedy like anything else can be co-opted to suit a particular want.
They are the canaries in the coal mine.
The fact that this still sounds fresh is such a horrible realisation
@j j Brainwashed? How fuckin stupid are you? I've seen it happen with my own 2 eyes so go fuck yourself
so right its awful
Couldn't even laugh it was just sad
j j If you lived during the American Revolution, you’d be on the side of the redcoats “just doing their jobs.”
@j j Sounds like you're the brainwashed one lmfao, I believe what I've been through
He was the first comic I heard with a conscience. One who speaks a lot of truth while making you laugh. He was so brilliantly funny. He left us far too soon. He would be 80 years old today. Richard you are so very very missed.
Lenny Bruce was a huge influence (he was the first to really push bounties besides “take my wife please”
George Carlin too
My mom always mentioned him and George Carlin when I was a kid. She said they spoke the truth and were predicting the future. I'm 35 now and she's 66 .. I think she was right!
She's right I am 61
Bad boy Carlin. He and Pryor were contemporaries. No holds barred.
Sorry not anymore!
@@jeffsedam9827 Yes...now.
Your mom spoke the truth. Pryor and Carlin were vital and essential. Two keenly aware, observant and prescient comedians.
"They don't kill cars"...Is one of the most brilliant lines I've ever heard in comedic social observation. Only Pryor could pull that off.
Could you elaborate for me on that one? I didn't fully understand the joke; I thought it was just wordplay
It is not a social observation... Pryor did shot his car to death and cops came. Thats why he went inside coz... They dont kill cars... Wink.
@@wornoutshoes11 could you reword your entire comment?
@@helenkeller7783 What are you, blind?
@@brucewayne2184 Rude much? It's a wonder Helen Keller even managed to type!
Wild to see the crowd fully lit and being able to see their reactions
Part of that is because they're filming. Film technique has come a long way, but in 1979 if you wanted to film in full color, you needed a TONNNNNN of light.
@@thenudebrewer7466 oh that makes a lot of sense.. but how or why do you know that?
@@rahulonwater I have various experience in film. I'll tell you a quick story of how I *first* learned about it, in the same way you're saying "wow, I never thought of that." It's that my dad was a big fan of the old TV show "Leave it to Beaver."
He was watching some retrospective in the late 80s or something and they were talking about those "glory days" of TV and the topic of when and why they decided to end the show. One reason was the show was fundamentally about the boys being YOUNG ... and they were grown up.
The other was that color TV was taking over and filming in color required so much more lighting that the production didn't want to spend the money. This was actually true for A LOT of shows around that time, the extra lighting that was required to film in color was just not part of their budget and the Fat Cats that paid for things balked at the price to update an OLD show. They'd spend the money on a NEW show, but the old shows were basically written off due to a technology shift. When I first learned all of this, I also said "wow... I never thought of that." I just assumed everyone thought color was OBVIOUSLY better, so they all switched. A lot of people lost their jobs because many shows didn't switch, they were just cancelled and it was because filming in color costs A LOT more money.
Hope that helps! :^)
@@thenudebrewer7466 thank you for sharing that story. I learnt something new today.
It's always sad to see tv show and movie franchises end without giving any closure (unless it's intentional)
Noticed the staff standing against the wall
The world needs more Richard Pryors
The one thing that makes me happy about this somber set is finding out Naruto running somehow existed back in the 70s
😄😄😄
It wasn’t called Naruto back then...it was called something else, also starting with the letter “N”.
Although anime started in the fifties I'm 100% sure you would get beat up for being an anime nerd in the 70s.
Niggato
Just Richard Pryor's unique way of describing a thing.
proud that chapelle is now up there with carlin and pryor. they arent even joking, they are just telling us about real shit.
Chapelle is still alive dude! He's only 46 let's hope we still have a long time to enjoy his comedy.
I think when he means up there he means like classified as or compared to as equals
No, Chapelle is hateful .
@@DerekSmit haha! I can see how that sounds now yeah :p VERY GLAD DAVE IS ALIVE :P
LadyLadyChickChick why does that make him less funny?
Comedy and humor is often a strength for very wounded people
@Punk Shark Well then, pretty soon, there will be something to laugh about.

If you look back at older comedians like him, George Carlin, etc. u can see how accurate they were then and how it all still is true. That’s y I tell ppl to listen to guys live Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock and some of the other greats and even some of the next big ones bc these guys tell it how it is and know what they r talking abt. Comedians r special and it’s scary how accurate some of the shit is
Chapelle and Rock dont hold a candle to Pryor, sorry.
NMP99 How is it scary? Maybe you meant uncanny? Richard Pryor spoke about life. The fact that things haven’t changed for the black experience is shameful. Now that is what’s scary. You can’t even compare the white comedian or his comedy to Pryor’s as they had completely different life experiences. Plus maybe it’s just my preference but George Carlin wasn’t that funny. Maybe it’s simply that I relate to Pryor on a cultural level and Carlin, not at all.
A.H Man Disagree, Chapelle is gold
Jaesha it’s scary how it holds up over time especially with shit like this where it’s been 40 years and barely any change has happened
I think Chris Rock kinda lost his mojo, had to switch off his last netflix special, he just rattled on for 2o mins about rascism 😴
One of the funniest moments in comedy. “He was low running down in here… He went into overdrive on the dog… he had a cap on and it went like this”
😂😂😂😂😂
"why did black people suddenly get so mad?" - y'all just weren't listening before.
shoesncheese we not just mad we fuggin tired of them klansman
The still aren’t. This is marketing, nothing more. Netflix is a joke.
They've got nothing to be mad about
We’ve always been mad. Y’all just weren’t listening and joining in before.
attackmaster555 if you have to ask at this point, you can go back to sleep. It’s one thing to want specifics, but it’s another to not be aware of history or current events. You have internet access, look it up.
I'm always amused when younger folks say, "I don't get why people say Pryor's the GOAT...I've heard all this stuff before" without the slightest hint of self-awareness. He's the architect of modern stand up comedy. That his work is still ultra relevant is a failure of our society. That people are still wanting to do things as if it were still the 70s...that's a greater failure of our society.
Spot on and truest statements are found in comedy
Fuck off, Harold. The comedian is one of the most important we have in a society.
I used to think that way about him being the best, but I think a great comedian is somebody who does a lot of improv by doing things off the top of their head, Rodney Dangerfield was excellent at that. I’m not comparing him to Richard Pryor, but over 90% of stand up comedians don’t have that kind of ability
Yeah man, the boomers up to millenials need to stop holding to the past and embrace present. The present is not that bad if we stop holding to the past that makes us do the bad stuff that's happening right now. I'm actually happy about the new generation and I hope we don't corrupt them.
It's cause ppl be dumb, yeah they heard it before from other people that copied him. They don't get the origins.
Brilliant but depressing. I'm 64 and can only think of my mom saying, "The more things change, the more they stay the same."
That's for sure! ...... Only difference, more ugly twist .... on most, everything.
@@patricemarie2960 Yep........ smartphones have made a difference.
See it as good or bad but they are making a difference.
I asked my grandmother the other day how she felt about all that is happening right now..she’s an 82 year old Black woman and it made me sad to hear how disappointed and indifferent she seemed. I understood though. We talked for a while.
@@jeremyblackwater439 what she say tho
Yup!
It's crazy that this relates so much we still dealing with the same problem 30yrs later
Try over 40 years. This was in 1979.
It's sad.
Is this Richard Pryor's 2020 set? Oh wait it was 1979. My bad, sounded like commentary from 2020.
History doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme.
"The more things change the more things stay the same" my young brotha. Same shit new year.
Yall act like some white people don't experience these things. There's videos on youtube of whites who put themselves in predicaments have this done to them.
It’s part of black peoples shared experience because more of them know someone or have a family member it had happened to because they are more often the victims of police in proportion to their percentage of the population.
there's a youtube video of my white friend getting shot by the cops with a cell phone in his hands. Cops thought it was a gun.
He's still one of the greatest comedians of all time.
The greatest
Pryor and Carlin always kept it real.
No he’s the Greatest period.

True Story - I saved a friend of mine from the Police hurting him about 20 years ago. We were hanging out in front of my house and they pulled up. They began harassing him, but luckily I had a video camera out there at the time. They noticed me recording them and instantly stopped cursing at him. They went from threatening him to calling him sir. It was like both officers switched to their other personality which actually had some decency.
You said it.
20 years ago.
With everyone with cameras now, it doesn't matter.
We can even say you caused all of it with your unannounced camera work, lol

Comedians like Richard Pryor, Chris Rock and George Carlin tell the unfiltered unapologetic truth in a very funny way and truth and humor are timeless. That's why these greats are timeless.
Richard Pryor along with George Carlin will always be my top 2 all time favorite American comedians and I always loved both Richard Pryor and George Carlin the best. Richard Pryor was a great American comedian, Richard Pryor's speech on police and dogs from 1979 was brilliant, and George Carlin was an intelligent American comedian with a lot of very good common sense. Back in Town from 1996 is my absolute favorite George Carlin special.
My other favorite Pryor line: Black folks looking for justice in the court; and that's what you'll see - Just Us.
Funny and True
Gerald Porter,
I believe Redd Foxx said it first.
Any citation, Mr "@@terrypross7638"?

It's not a contest, just my opinion. Feel free to completely ignore what I do.
Pryor and Carlin my two favorites. The messages was a look into the future. So many true statements from these two in the 70's, 80's and 90's with Carlin.
I can watch this time and again, it never fails. So nice to hear an American audience laughing without the screams and whoops that accompany today's audiences.

Every jokes have 50% truth in it. Not all jokes came from a happy place, most of them came from dark and painful place and reality
Sad to say Yes?
Your comment pretty much sums up Pryor..💯
Alot of comedians have dark sides. Some of the best died due to them. Thanks for the laughs Richard
@Ceretic Of ElmetThomas edison was american
Read the book Stranger in a Strange Land. One of the main take aways is that people don't laugh at truly good things. For those they smile. You laugh at the messed up parts of life. A baby hits their day with a bottle is heartwarming but still a violent act. Animals doing messed up things, people getting hurt, nasty things even though child friendly jokes are not really positive. Even when you finally get something good that makes you laugh think if you're laughing at the good thing or more likely the struggle or pain it took to get the good thing.
He sure was something special.
Richard Pryor is among the true GOATs, without a doubt.

Far too many black people have just _happened to die_ while in police custody. The light is finally being shown on exactly what he was talking about.
It’s been known by black people for decades
@@neelmoudgil4962 oh for sure. Black ppl have known it all too well for many generations really, and they've been telling everyone else "hey these police officers are abusing us and killing us!" and some white people listened but only a few. Now though it feels like there has been a shift in awareness. Its a start but not nearly enough.
we all knew it back then but didn't have video to prove it. now we have so much hard evidence and some people still wanna pretend like it's not happening
no shit
It’s amazing that over the past few decades we laugh at these jokes and jam to music like hip hop, but always seem to miss the message. I think it’s hard to understand different cultures, but we all want the same things. We don’t blend our cultures, we just ‘coexist’. When different races learn of other cultures, it typically through a movie, that fills every stereotype imaginable. We all have our own sob stories filled with bitterness, but we need to find the compassion to help each other let it go. So many talented people, and most don’t realize those jokes are based off of life lessons. Stay happy and healthy people! Hopefully, over the next few decades we can spend our energy building up communities, instead of finding ways to tear them down.
It is not hard to understand different cultures, especially black culture. Whites and Blacks have been around each other for hundreds of years. If you have ever listened to, Ice T's earlier rap songs, NWA songs, or any rapper talking about the police. Then you have heard the message. The problem is that, when it's not happening to you, most people don't care , and lend a deaf ear and a blind eye.
Renee S Yep, but most non-blacks, vice versa, learn about “culture” by the way media or politicians interpret the information, then deliver the wrong message. No matter the political party “leading”. Ice-T was targeted when he came out with “Cop Killer” (he wasn’t talking about all cops) they took away his 1st Amendment rights, removed the original song from the album, debated how his “use of explicit lyrics” needed to be censored, but was the message wrong? This was in the early ‘90s, what has changed? Mob Rule ignored our guaranteed rights, because it’s unpopular speech. We all have rights, and we all need to defend those precious rights guaranteed the day we were born. Coming together towards the positives will benefit us all.
I'm white and I don't ever want to "not see color" -- black skin represents an entire cultural heritage, a history of adversity and overcoming adversity, and being strong and united in brotherhood and sisterhood. I would like a world where differences are respected, but everyone is treated as equals. There is much to be done to get there. I hold onto the belief we can still get there.
@@nutmusic3747 indeed, and the "not seeing of color" is a big reason why some folks dont realize that racism is still alive and well just because it isnt happening to them. its important to recognize and celebrate our differences over acting like they don't exist and turning a blind eye to all the issues that arise from the ignorance

Not long after this, Richard set himself on fire freebasing and after his recovery, added a joke to his set where he lit a match, moved it like it was running and asked "What's that?" "Richard Pryor running down the street." That is true comedy from a true comedian.
Pryor always spoke the truth that's why he is appreciated beyond his generation same with Carlin, Rock, Hicks, etc.
The GREATEST COMEDIAN OF ALL TIME!
He was good but I wouldn't go that far.
@@thefracturedbutwhole5475 NO ? ask your favorite comic who is his favorite comic....It would be akin to someone saying Bruce Lee is not the greatest martial art film star...
Richard Pryor was the OG . Period
He is pure gold!
Richard Pryor never told a lie in his stand ups...
What he said was probably true 50 yrs ago. It's not true today.
That gave me chills. 40 years and they're still chocking people to death
Problem is, that is is not some big monolith of "they". Individuals- who should be even more scared of using strength, as they are rpresentatives of Power, and should be completely and utterly sure, they DO need to use it, or they shouldn't use it at all- but instead those people revel in what was given to them along with badge and uniform, and clearly do not know, what said things really mean... And worst part is- they make the rest look like a bad guys as well... I am sure that Gorge Floyd wouldn't want to be cause of some random officer's death, just because he happens to wear same thing, his killer did...
The greatest of all time and it ain't even close.
Because he black no Rodney dangerfield better
The 1st minute is so absolutely strong by itself.
Glad I'm old enough to have enjoyed Richard. To me he's the greatest stand up ever.
they already talked about this kind of stuff back then... isn't it embarrassing that we still need talking about it till this day?
We never learn from the past
Black people not embarrassed about shit, we just pissed off...
@@gnomeking6568 so just another thursday?
I remember this coming out. I was 13 yrs old... Best comedian ever......
Can't even tell how many times I came across this fr😂😂😂
