RIP Richard Pryor

Adios Richard, I will always remember your talent much more than your troubles.

A few favorite Richard Prior lines:

That water is cold,and it's deep too.
It's my mercedes why can't I shoot it?
She is still mad at you for shooting off her pinky toe.

Adios.
 
If you've never seen Silverstreak with Gene Wilder, that was one of his best and one of my favorite movies, he will be sorely missed.
 
Silverstreak was superb! But who will EVER forget He & Gene Wilder "gettin' baad!" when they were put in Prison in "Stir Crazy"!
I must admit, my favourite scene is in "See No Evil, Hear No Evil" when he's tied up in a greenhouse and (deaf!) Gene Wilder breaks into the glasshouse with a spade to rescue him, after lots of noisily breaking glass, he unties Richard Pryor & goes "Shhhhhhhhhhh!" ROFL

He'll be sorely missed!
 
Sad news indeed. One of the greatest comedy duo ever. 'See no evil, Hear no evil' was a classic.
 
Poor Richard....That was one cool guy, but he really wasn't alive for the past few years anyway...:(

If you know Richard Pryor, you would know it was an accident with a microwave, warm milk and cookies...:D (lol..sadly)


His best was on Saturday Nite Live

Word Association with Chevy Chase :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Smaurai Hotel with John Belushi :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:


It was sad to see him devastated by MS.

Those were his best skits. What can you say, it's a sad day.
 
It is a real shame, especially the way he went out. When I was a kid, I saw his buddy movies with Gene Wilder, and as a teenager, I saw his standup. One of the great comedians, shame he had to learn life the hard way before he got it right.
 
"Bicentennial Nigger" is THE funniest comedy album EVER!

My favorite R.P. line..."that crazy witch had a 3 legged monkey and wore a monkey paw around her neck....that monkey f*****d with everybody but her!"

R.I.P. Rich' watch out for those Oreos and Warm Milk in Heaven!
 
"Yeah that's right, we bad, we bad!" Richard Prior was one of the funniest men in entertainment history. Loved all he did (except the Richard Prior show it was too heavily edited by censors apparently). From his rant in Wattstax to Live on Sunset Strip to Stir Crazy, they were all classics. :(
 
When I took up Stand up Comedy as a professional job I looked into Pryor( and many others) for inspiration and learning the craft. Rest in Peace and say hello to Redd, Lenny, John and Bill Hicks for me.

"he's the Polar bear... with little tiny feet!"

It's been years since I've heard the adventures of Mudbone.

"So I got this crazed jig saw and sawed the bottom out of the outhouse, and waited for that big collard green eatin' bitch to go to the bathroom. She waddled out to the outhouse, opened the door, went in, closed the door, and I heard a big splash. That's when I got in this tractor, and drove out here. And I wasn't mad no more, neither!"
