First time reaction to Richard Pryor standup! Talking about prison!!

[@athos1974]

Richard Pryor was one of the greatest stand-up comedians there ever was.

[@kingcassius2586]

THEE greatest ever. Even the other top legends say that as well.

[@wobblertv8083]

​@@kingcassius2586Agreed the greatest .

[@reesebn38]

I've been a Pryor fan since I was a kid in the 70s. I saw all of his movies in the the theatre. This is from Live on the Sunset Strip. His comeback after his Burn accident. The Prison movie Richard is talking about with Gene Wilder is "Stir Crazy"(1980) Directed by Sidney Poitier. A comedy classic!! A must watch is "Richard Pryor in Concert"(1979) it is the best stand-up film of all time.

[@chrischar9428]

Accident?

[@reesebn38]

When He set himself on Fire drinking and doing coke. He almost dies. @@chrischar9428

[@jjoyce46]

Richard Pryor is a legend!😂 He was even more raw in the 1970's.

[@j7286]

The first time I saw Richard Pryor on TV, he was performing the Rumpelstiltskin routine. Over 50 years ago. My dad nearly fell out of his chair, he was laughing so hard.

[@annemarie3140]

You can tell Richard Pryor used his acting skill in his stand up act. LEGEND!

[@brandonethereal1084]

The best to ever do it. Him, Carlin, Chappelle, Murphy, Bernie Mac are in my top 5. Pryor laid out the red carpet for stand up comedians.

[@mikegalvin9801]

I would add Steve Martin in his early days.

[@brandonethereal1084]

@@mikegalvin9801 Hmmm interesting...... I love Martin, definitely a icon in the industry.

[@SD-mw1hz]

Theres a Pryor routine where he is involved with the Mafia, very funny.

[@DewJee2019]

7:58 "...I would do like.. bookkeeping for all of the gangs.." Brilliant! and hilarious.

[@karenfryberger4260]

This clip is from "Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip" - an epic stand-up comedy film released in 1982. In a sense, a comeback performance after recovering from setting himself on fire in 1980. There are more clips easily found on KZbin - definitely worth checking out. Brilliant and brutal. He and Gene Wilder did a string of buddy movies in the '70's. They were both massive talents at the height of their careers during that time. Gene is in the Live on Sunset Strip film as well. This may be your first reaction to Richard Pryor - please don't let it be you last!

[@darrinlindsey]

You might put Robin Williams first appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, on you list. Absolutely hilarious.

[@genekent2391]

GOAT, and it isn't even close!!

[@AP-gb3eh]

You gentlemen have absolutely no idea the world Prior came out of. Society has changed so much .This special was later in his career he had been horrifically burned and this was his comeback. The first night he faltered but the audience loved him so much they cheered him anyway. You can hear women telling him it’s ok baby we love you. Those of us that grew up with him ad Carlin well they were important figures in our psyches . ☮️

[@mztweety1374]

His bit about Mudbone is hilarious and brilliant! We still quote him to this day!

[@kdm71291]

That's from his 1982 concert film "Richard Pryor: Live On The Sunset Strip"......it was shown in the theaters. Some friends and I went to see it......and were frying on acid...we laughed quite loudly, I'm sure! (My much younger, much wilder days). So funny, covering a wide variety of subjects. He ended with a segment referencing when he supposedly caught himself on fire as a result of smoking cocaine, a couple of years earlier (Supposedly with ether as the element to make it smokable).....he revealed later that he was so distraught because of his addiction, he tried to commit suicide by dousing himself in vodka and lighting himself on fire..... immediately changing his mind and began to run down the street!

[@MarkTaylorchannel]

My favorite line is they was home lol 2:07

[@jgsrhythm100]

Awesome Can't wait for Maude "Maude Sits in Archie's Chair". 🙏

[@barbclark458]

This show is Richard Pryor Live on Sunset Strip 1982 or ‘83.

[@Farmer_Dave]

Richard Pryor, Mud Bone is amazing and like around 20 minutes. I did not join a gang myself I flew solo and kept to myself reading and doing pushups.

[@jameswilson1522]

I can't believe it took me this long to find your KZbin channel.This is what the world needs.Thank God more people are deciding to work together ! -No doubt your channel's going to be H $ G E !

[@antwone1321]

The cool thing about this special is all of the famous people that are in the audience. Seen Jesse Jackson in one of the shots

[@Kebmo338]

Check out the movie "Jo Jo Dancer Your Life is Calling" its a movie about Richard Pryor staring Richard Pryor playing himself.

[@jameskirschling7887]

Ok guys, you got me to subscribe with this video. I like the way you discuss what you've watched. Can't go wrong with Richard Pryor. My favorite Pryor "story" is Bicentennial Prayer.

[@peace-and-quiet]

"Stir Crazy" (the prison film) is a favorite! ❤

[@Cablecol]

Richard Pryor wrote two episodes of Stanford and Son, one of my TV shows.

[@Gloria-qy3dd]

Hi guys,Dt ,Joe,Felipe, He had one of the most censored shows.And albums of comedy.

[@imamisfit445]

Theres a reason for 2 life sentences, or 3. Cause with all the appeals they'll file over the years, if he, for some reason beats 1 charge, he still has another life sentence.

[@johnw8578]

In most states, Life means eligible for parole in 20 or 25 years, so triple life would mean 75 years if stacked or at least means very unlikely for parole.

[@reesebn38]

Didn't know that. Thanks.

[@darrinlindsey]

Multiple life sentences means that the person murdered multiple people. A life sentence for each crime. When life sentences are given, in state court, there's usually a stipulation that it's not eligible for parole.

[@mick8888V]

George Carlin will make you Laugh and Think. He's the man you need to review....any of him.

[@BluesImprov]

You need to watch Richard doing his bit about him and the Mafia. It was from this same performance and I think it's funnier than the prison bit.

[@finderkeeperrrs]

Too me this is funnier than his mafia bit. lol

[@christopherking4932]

Hilarious video.

[@breezyautumn]

Richard Pryor had a ridiculously traumatic childhood 😢❤ 6:21

[@jeffdicello9242]

The movie he's talking about is Stir Crazy R 1980 ‧ Comedy/Buddy ‧ 1h 51m

[@franklinterrell9392]

I've never been to prison myself, but, because I do drug testing for a few counties, I come in contact with a lot of people that have been here in Minnesota. There definitely are Asian gangs in prison.

[@thereallyst]

A life sentence has an obligation of the defendant to serve a minimum of 15 to 25 years before they are eligible for parole. A multiple life sentence is saying that the person has to serve those "required" years all in a row, which depending on how old the person is, means it will be their natural life or until they are so old they most likely won't be a threat to society anymore....

[@diane9247]

Did you notice him fiddling with his nose toward the end? 🤔Anyway, a friend and I aw him live in Monterey, California, in around 1979. He was incredibly shocking for then and the crowd was on the floor the whole time. Loved him!

[@nickmorse2277]

Do more prior Richard Pryor, that is, and Eddie Murphy and Steven Wright, Dave Chappelle, George carlin Buddy Hackett, if you can find them

[@breebarry4422]

Y'all hilarious trying to figure out what gang to join. They will tell you...😂

[@kevinbyrd2936]

You guys should listen to mud bone by Richard Pryor now that's some funny shit 😂😂😂

[@dahveed72]

Hes a storyteller. And thats how a lot of the next gen of comics made their fortune. One good story has kept a talenless nothing like Bert Kreisher well fed and drunk for 15 years.

[@darrinlindsey]

Are you guys aware that Richard started his face on fire once? I think he was attempting to freebase, and it blew up in his face. He was found running down a street, trying to call for help. He tells the story in one of his routines, after he recovered.

[@chrischar9428]

Suicide attempt

[@cathyhetzel7692]

I think he's the best, Watch Pryor on Fire!

[@trishriley9681]

New sub✌️

[@kurtrobertson495]

G.O.A.T No doubt about that

[@darlas5762]

Richard pryor - little feets (mudbone)

[@melissamorgan4946]

You should the old school Eddie Murphy stand up ... hilarious 😆

[@ericleonard2835]

Live on sunset strip ,, watch the whole thing.

[@shawndavlin3293]

Richard also had a bunch of albums. In my opinion the Bicentennial Ni***r was a classic. There might be a KZbin version.

[@mick8888V]

Believe it or not, I had most of his performances on Vinyl records.

[@JohnnyPappas]

Suggest the Richard Pryor bit where he discusses his "accident."

[@dwayneaustin2673]

ONE SIMPLE THING RICHARD DID WAS TOLD THE TRUTH...

[@NancySherer-t9v]

I watched a lot of Richard Pryor at the height of his carreer and cannot believe you found a clip where he wasn't using the N word.

[@lamontwilliams4172]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kimberlykcmcrochet4489]

Watch Richard Pryor do Mudbone it's so good and funny. 😊

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

[@GorillaMansoon]

How about some George Carlin?

[@michellemarrison4397]

Yeah the only thing I know about cruising is watching OZ and I'm pretty sure that's not exactly the way prison anywhere😂

[@MarcusC68]

Damn! Jaws has massive guns.

[@abdeton1899]

uh you mean handsome Joe!

[@ViralTuber]

Richard Pryor is the reason Dave Chappelle sounds foolish proclaiming himself to be the greatest of all time. At most, Dave could consider himself peer-level comedian to Richard. ...which let's be clear, that's a claim basically NO comedian could ever credibly make. You don't just announce to the world that you're "better than Richard Pryor at standup comedy". ...Which is exactly what saying "I'm the G.O.A.T. " translates to. That's ridiculous. You don't gain credibility making a statement like that. You lose it. Not to mention, as broad as Dave's audience is, Richard's was an even MORE complete cross section of races and ages.

[@shannonherb2048]

Who is this Dave guy you speak of?

[@periechontology]

Dave never proclaimed himself the greatest comedian of all time.

[@ViralTuber]

​@@periechontology There's this comedian called Dave Chappelle. In his sixth Netflix special "The Closer", he calls himself the GOAT. There's this search engine called "Google" which makes it easy to research and confirm such things. ...Oh ya. There's this thing called "the internet", where...

[@maxsparks5183]

True. Richard and Bernie Mack can’t be topped. End of story.

[@louisiana318]

🎯

[@netmeg]

Pryor is definitely the GOAT, as well as Carlin. But geezopete, you say you like story telling comedians and you got no Fluffy? Gabriel Iglesias - The Gift Basket. You won't be sorry.

[@caras2004]

Watch Richard Pryor do the ABC's on Sesame Street.

[@PhoenixRising82672]

React to his Mafia joke from the same show

They're Asian gangs in the penitentiary

[@MLK-KAEFENTERPRISES]

Richard is great but this standup, while good doesn't touch on some of the brilliant skits he had done and did do later. Comic genius.

[@Eowyn187]

Smart dude. He's gonna remain neutral by doing everybody's books. (If in prison) Seriously. That's thinking on your feet!

[@JDiggiti]

So many robbed Richard of this style & jokes that he almost sounds Regular

[@Enimity674]

he set himself on fire. During a crack beinge. I would never say what he was sayin ever

[@cynthiamckinney4276]

I think it was cocaine. Crack wasn’t out yet…

[@JayS64]

8:24 Wow, u think? If u haven't figured it out yet, the Whites and Mexicans would make sure u did; that's if the the Black inmates even accepted u.

[@DavidJones-si8ig]

Due on the left and in the middle, y'all would fit in with the Blks and the Mexican groups.. one on the Right... ehhhh, he have to go to PC or become somebody's prison wife. 🤔😂

[@mattdealin]

You’ll be in the Asian and possibly the poly group. If they don’t have that , you’d be “others” . You have dark skin , everyone may assume you were black. This separation is mainly by gangs , if you’re not in a gang these racial rules may not apply to you. Surprisingly, California has strict racial guidelines in prisons but there are places in the Deep South that far less rigid.California with all its diversity has the most racist prison politics.

[@MichaelGerena]

Not one of his best bit. There were better ones than this.: Mudbone, Mafia, Was it something i said , and many others. Richard Pryor along with George Carlin were my two favorite comedians. Both legendary. Suggestion : George Carlin " Advertising BS, , Euphemism

[@nathantaylor1921]

Yall are a bunch of males (hope thats accurate-no offend anyone) that take comedy to seriously. In the 90's we understood comedy snd knew they were performing "SATIRE"

[@janielaponse]

What makes me sad is mixed people never want to show up for their white side. Why?

[@christophertaylor8106]

Cosby detested Richard Prior

[@christophertaylor8106]

@the44118 it is true Cosby didn't believe that you had to use fowl language in order to be funny. Cosby didn't even care for Eddie Murphy because of the language.

[@markeast9221]

Somehow I never found him to be that Funny . He is OK , I just dont like all the F Bombs ! Now RODNEY DANGERFIELD is non stop Funny !

[@DavidJones-si8ig]

Imo, Richard wasn't super funny to me but in terms of Cursing overall with any comedian, sometimes lack of cursing is the missing Icing on top that would make Certain jokes funnier!!! It's a necessary evil!!!🤷🏽‍♂️

[@tonygourdine512]

You are clearly a caucasian person. You can't relate to a culture you know nothing about ! If you had cited George Carlin instead of Johnny Dangerfield , I'd might think differently ! What you could have said was, "I don't prefer " Blue " comedians ! That paints a different picture ( no pun intended ).

[@tware6062]

Rodney Dangerfield was funny

[@biblebadcopycatofcuneiform8210]

Richard...one of the most profane people I will rarely listen to anymore. I figured I'd revisit him with you all..vicariously. There's a question about reincarnation here. "I didn't understand that." by the one on the left, your right. I understand reincarnation.. Sweet thing is, humans "worry" about punishments, but it doesn't exist. "Coming back." is very hard to spot. I'll leave it at that. I don't miss Richard. Enjoyed you all.

[@perdidoatlantic]

Marlon Brando f-ed him.

[@leotimtom6637]

Not funny at all. Yikes!

[@giveupnow000]

triple life. means three charges to appeal - insurance to keep you in kinda
