Richard Pryor.

None of the above are even close.

Are you trying to say that Wee Man from the jackass crew isn't as good of a comedian as Richard Pryor?

No one has ever been able to transmute personal tradegy into comedy at Pryor's level.

I was kidding. I personally like Eddie in his prime better than Pryor though.

Me too. I know Eddie got a lot of inspiration etc from Pryor but I prefer Eddie. Especially Delirious and Raw. I also like Chris Rock who kept the black comedian tradition going.

He is great, but a little unstable and although his show was great, he never had that one great standup to cement him as an all time great, like Pryor, Eddie and Rock.

Yeah some of the stuff on his show would be considered a classic allready though.

I like the part when he's in KKK and the part where he speaks on OJ and R Kelly  :D

Chapelle is very insightful but had writers helping him with the show.

Listen to "Is it something I said" or one of Pryor's first albums and you'll see what I mean. He was really a genious. Sadly, people use TV and movie stuff to judge comedians these days. The medium is too limited, IMO. "That black's Crazy" is another great album.

I like Seinfeld. But the show as a whole, not anyone of them individually. I don't think Jerry is that funny on his own.

If you're talking about COMEDIANS then you need to wake up. Leslie Neilson, Rob Schenider, Martin Short, WIll Ferrell and all the jackass dudes are ACTORS who happen to do comedy. You fucking gimp

In your opinion. Many never found his crassness funny, nor Eddie's. Both on the low budget tip.

The Party is a classic, as is Being There.

Alan Arkin, The Apartment

Plaza Suite



As far as standup, Kevin James of King of Queens is great. Carlin & Joan Rivers used to be.
