Man, talk about a loss. One of the all-time greats. Really a tough string of bad luck he had for the last twenty years or so. Too bad, he was one of the good guys and probably the most influential comedien ever.

I was very sad to hear this news. I spent most of my life ignorant of how influential and daring a comedian he was, but even as a kid I was a fan, through Superman III and Stir Crazy.

RIP.

Richard Pryor truly led the way for today's black comedians. Without Richard Pryor there would be no Eddie Murphy, Jamie Foxx or Wayans Bros. He was one of a kind. Here are some of his greatest bits.

thanks fucktard, for starting a thread in respect of Richard (did his closest friends call him Dick???? ) i don't think so, but it makes one go hummmmm... i've been away for a couple weeks and was so hopeing he would get a trib. here ,with so many of the great comedians we've lost this year,or for that matter in the last few months. he did "set the bar" for what makes us laugh today. many owe so much to him,as he gave aknologement(props) to his predassesers, Lenny Bruce & Redd Foxx. one of the lines Richard used in his early days was from an old Redd Foxx routine "the girl was so low she would suck an earthworms dick", hey you can't get any lower than that now could ya ?? i still LAUGH OUT LOUD!!!! everytime i think of that. thanks for the smiles Richard....GOD is surely laughing his ass off now.(maybe in this world today, it was just what he needed.)
