Robin Williams was at Richards bedside before his death and always made him smile. They were close friends and Richard always said that Robin was the funniest person he ever knew. I'm sure Robin said the same about Richard. Both of them are sadly missed,but they will always make me laugh.

Williams' improv abilities were second to none. Once in the late 80s he did two hour-long shows back to back, both totally original with no scripted material. Had people crying they were laughing so hard and got standing ovations for both.

[@Myrddnn]

In 1974, I saw Richard show up at the Comedy Store unannounced and come in and tried out some new material, including messing with me and my friend who were sitting around that stage.

[@matthewcullen1298]

That's pretty amazing. Definitely one for the highlights reel.

[@darththomarius6751]

See how many legends in that crowd??? Damn. It's kool when your peers come out to see you and even the old school

[@kelloggmatt]

Honesty was Pryor's great comedic tool. He held NOTHING back and never BS'ed the crowd. Once he discussed his flaws and inner pain openly with an audience, his career took off.

[@mansiononthehill]

kelloggmatt Truth is always the funniest!

[@OttoMack1]

Honesty and a good bullshit detector are the true comic's strongest weapon - Bill Burr is the current champion of those two traits.

[@THEeireTTv]

​@Robert Brown women are fucking crazy, sometimes you need to show that just because you're bigger and stronger, they still have power/a say in the relationship 1. i don't know much about the dog, but i'd kick a women out before my dog, but i feed that little shit like a young don juan and take him everywhere, off-leash too; he is smarter than most kids.. maybe Burr's dog was a shitter and he didn't have a good grasp on training/raising a dog. i think there was a joke before referring his dog to be a snappy bastard, which wouldn't be good for kids.. but i could be misremembering, idk 2. wasn't he an openly admitted alcoholic at one point? regardless, he seems happy and is sharper than ever; gonna go watch some of his gold now. sounds like she's helping him be a better man and trimming the fat from his life; metaphor aside, he even looks better these days

[@SonBrimmer]

Robert Brown Didn’t he talk about him having to get rid of his dog in paper tiger? Pretty sure it was because he was worried the dog would attack his new baby. Fuck man, I don’t know if I could do that. How do you get rid of your dog?! Still though, just cause you have to make some hard choices in life, and give up some unhealthy vices, it hardly castrates you. Burr still has the same voice, same opinions, same humor. Id hardly call him a cuck.

This is also what I appreciated about Patrice O’Neal.

Born in 66’ And Pryor WAS stand up. In my world he was the only stand up comedian I knew of,didn’t think there were any others for a while and it was ok that way. I remember “Mork and Mindy” and thought,”this dude has something that no other human has and he will be big one day”. Williams exceeded that prediction.
