George Carlin vs Richard Pryor. Epic Rap Battles of History (Reaction)

Joan just murdered bill cosby

[@Brythnoth_of_the_Void]

Skeem: Richard Carlin, George prior Uhhh- *Skeemglare* Never mind.

[@bryansproles2879]

The Pryor hair on fire wasn't a suicide joke - he was freebasing cocaine at his house in 1980 and got so out of it that he poured rum on his head and lit it on fire. Started running down the street until the police caught up to him and were able to put his hair out. Robin Williams makes the same joke in his bit. Thanks for actually catching the "Hey! Hey! Hey!" from Fat Albert - I think only 2 or 3 reactors have gotten that. The ironic thing about Joan jabbing Carlin & Pryor for their heart attacks is that Joan herself had a cardiac arrest during surgery, and died a week later...Cosby is the only one in this battle who's still alive.

[@The_One_In_Black]

For some reason I thought that was something he did in a movie. Glad there's at least a comment clarifying it wasn't suicide.

[@danielpurdom9141]

You can tell you were flustered too; you said Richard Carlin and George Pryor.

[@ToastyModeste]

A battle of comedians that just made me really depressed honestly, but still happy to see Lloyd do a damn good Robin Williams impression

[@sentinel7672]

Honestly if you told me they only did this battle because Lloyd wanted to show off his Robin Williams impression I wouldn't doubt it.

[@TSLsmokey]

@@sentinel7672 Originally, it was actually supposed to END with Joan Rivers. But their discord talked them into ending it with Robin Williams. Thank god for that discord

[@sentinel7672]

@@TSLsmokey Agreed. You can't have a battle of comedians without at least a reference to Robin Williams. I'm pretty sure if they didn't listen to their discord people would have felt the battle would be incomplete in some way.

[@thagrammarnazi]

Gunnerstrip7 They really should've got Jamie Costa to play Robin, that would've been legendary

[@fnglert]

In the plug "I put them to sleep so call me cosby" and then this particular rap battle ... Classic.

[@WeSkeem]

Huehuehue

[@mileswellington-deanda3902]

Richard joked about lighting himself on fire all the time. Thats why they reference it so much here. Also its not clear if it was a suicide attempt. Pryor was freebasing coke and drinking and had a full psychotic break.

[@darrencarter9812]

yeah... accident while doing drugs

[@orilachman8853]

Suicide jokes all around this battle, I didn’t even catch most of them so thanks for letting me know of them I guess? Still a great reaction nonetheless, just 60k from 100k you’ll get there in no time

[@DetectiveDorian]

The thing about stand-up comedians is that they can basically find humor in anything and everything, up to and including self-deprecation, so this battle actually makes sense in that way.

[@acetrainer44]

"I'd attack you two first, but your hearts beat me to it." Joan was the overall winner, but every part was fun (though of the initial two I'd have to give it to Carlin), and the Robin Williams tribute at the end was a nice touch that they added in

[@Cell287]

Nah, Robin won. Joann didn’t stand a chance.

[@ecl1pse-idky731]

@@Cell287 bruh all Robin did was reference his movies and dish out surface level insults. You just say he won because you like him the most.

I hated george carlins end. He should have stopped at the stand uppercut you cant counter, damn. The rest made for a weaker end to his bars. The bar wasnt bad its just the wordplay before was a stronger finish. Also, "How many robin williams movie references are there?" ERB "Yes"

That was a surprise treat that you had not seen this one!

[@MasterTMO]

I didn't see a reference below, but could have missed it. For Carlin's "started out toothless", look up his skit "Hippy Dippy Weatherman". That's what his comedy was like before he changed styles to what he wanted to do.

[@bipee3937]

"Cosby, you should not be here". I guess this is in the afterlife... And Robin moves on...

Comment for the algorithm. I saw ERB and thought “fuck yeah, breakdown” and then I hear you haven’t seen it and I can’t remember the last time I’ve been this excited. YAY REACTIONS!!!!!

[@Superintendent_ChaImers]

As soon as Carlin said "No pauses in my lines" We Skeem wanted him dead. Carlin didn't stand a chance here.

[@CraigTheSaint42]

One thing I don’t see ppl in the comments mentioning is Robin’s “for some comic relief.” Comic Relief was an annual charity comedy thing hosted by Robin Williams, Whoopi Goldberg, and... Billy Crystal, I think?... In fairness, it should have been capitalized on the lyrics.

[@Ladykyra101]

Uh, Fat Albert and Picture Pages. Wow, childhood memories. 🧡 Ah, me thinks someone's older than they look. 😉

I gotta say skeem im liking the new editing style you got going on here. Keep up the good work

I was waiting for a long time for you to cover this battle and the wait was worth it! It brought a smile to my face when I saw Robin being represented! Yeah it sucked hard when he died but damn do I cherish his career as a comedian and he left behind plenty of laughs that never get old!

[@maniik_flix4837]

"I love the Prince, but you'll never have a friend like me." i thought that was a reference to Will Smith..

I'm too lazy to look up the timeline... was that official by the time that this battle was released?

[@maniik_flix4837]

[@MortiefiedBear]

Robin Williams was the first genie. the 1 in the animated movie

[@DavidSmith-su4wl]

Daniel Purdom yes, this one was just released in 2019 or 2020. That Aladdin had been in the works for a couple years by then.

[@embran8486]

Will Smith? SERIOUSLY? It's Prince first, Robin Williams as Genie singing the song you'll never have a friend like me. Will Smith played him too last year - and referred in the movie to Prince, but Robin clearly references himself.

[@coryseavers2932]

The moment he asked if she was dead and looked at the camera I could see the visual confusion on his mask

Subscribed simply because you did your research when you didn't understand the reference and after seeing so many reactors in the Pewdiepie Coco Melon diss track going "Who is Coco?" It's refreshing to see someone willing to pause to get context.

[@DarthBil1]

Yeah, this one made me sad too. When Robin Williams died, I decided to honor him by re-watching my favorite of his movies: Hook. That was a mistake. There is one particular exchange in there where Hook says he's going to kill Peter, and Peter replies, "To die would be a great adventure." LIke, Jesus, holy fuck. That tore me up.

Oh snap. ERB comment and dropped in the faves. Keep it going, man!

Richard Pryor accidentally lit his hair on fire when he fell asleep with a cigarette. He then woke up in a panic and ran down the street while still on fire. He talked about it in one of his comedy routines.
