S. Yeti Bigfoot, Esq. Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 That is sad. He was one of the great ones. Sometimes he was on fire, but he was still good.

fantasticsound Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Wow.. Just wow. I was well aware of Richard Pryor before Silver Streak, but that was the movie that I will always think of first when his name comes up. I was also very fond of Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling, an autobiographical movie about Richard starring Richard. It's easiest to find me on Facebook.

Bluesape Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Truly a great loss - a giant among exceptional comics - they never came any funnier. Never a DUH! moment! Well, almost never. OK, OK! Sometimes never! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would've lauged at that! I hope so. I think so. That was what was so great about him...he didn't take himself so seriously. He could find humor in the things that happened to him in his own life. One of the funniest routines I ever heard in my life was his routine about the pet monkeys he had.

vengeanceguitars Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 So very sorry to hear about Richard. He was so funny even when he knew he was sick. Truly an inspiration to us all. He will be missed greatly. Without him, where would comedy be. Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, Chris Tucker and so on and so on. Where would they be without Richard Pryor? Thankfully we never have to find out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmptinesOf Youth Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 im not old enough to really appreciate all of his work, but ive seen some of his movies with gene wilder and i did like his way of acting. I never have seen much of his stand up, but i know his reputation. Rest easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I love the bit where he explained one of his encounters with the police when he shot his car, hilarious explanation of the crazy things we do when we get really pissed off. Another great loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A String Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 He was a ground breaking comedian. It was a shame to see what MS did to him. He was 65, but he looked 105. A terrible thing to happen to such a great man.

Tone Taster Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Yup, I guess part of my jaded childhood could be attributed to listening to tons of Richard Pryor standup before I even turned 13. It was Richard, Carlin, Cheech and chong, and Eddie Murphy that were a [foundation?] It's cool that he got to see some awrds and recognition and got to see 7 healthy children be born Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardtail Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 My best friend's older brother used to have Richard Pryor LPs. I couldn't have been any older than 12. Anyway, when no one was around, we used to listen to these records and laugh our asses off. Richard Pryor was probably my first introduction to dark humor (was too young to remember Lenny Bruce). R.I.P. Richard Pryor. Thanks for the laughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesape Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Pryor got to where Lenny Bruce started - pure genius. Never a DUH! moment! Well, almost never. OK, OK! Sometimes never! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitar55 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I guess I've been out of the loop because I hadn't heard this sad, but not shocking news. IMHO, the greatest comedian ever. If you have a chance rent a copy of any of his live shows. Incredible stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
