the new generation don't understands how innovative and funny Richard Pryor was in his prime. RIP to the 🐐
I do
Rich and Bernie Mac 🐐🐐
they are too stupid to look away from kevin hart
We do
Agreed
This will NEVER EVER be old. The build up from a normal, calm speaking president, to an annoyed, upset brotha from the corner was a genius idea. TV audiences from ‘77 were not ready for a show like this. The Richard Pryor Show should’ve been on HBO. He would’ve had more artistic freedom there.
The audience wasn't the problem. It was the network. They wanted to be in the Richard Pryor business without fully understanding the Richard Pryor business, so they tried to tame him, and he wanted out of his contract.
Was HBO out then, or was HBO even a big deal then ??
I know HBO was huge during the 80's but IDK if it was that big of a deal back in the 70's. He probably wouldn't have had that big of a audience on the HBO platform back during the 70's. I don't think cable was as huge as it was during the 80's, back in the 70's.
@@JamesCH08 Yes. HBO was out then. I agree in those days the 3 networks is where u did all your TV work if u wanted to be seen all over the country.
4:33 "Mr president??
Yeah what?!!!! ☠️
But HBO didn't exist in 77. Even if it did the show would not have been seen by the majority of Black people because we couldn't afford "cable TV" back then, especially in the hood...
Dave Chappelle must have watched a lot of Richard Pryor growing up.
This is comedy gold.
Paul Mooney was a writer on this show, and was also a writer on the Chapelle Show. Facts.
@@KRpr0ductions was "Snow White" Sandra Bernhard in that video??
@@monica93304 Yep.
Lakum Salam 😂😂😂😂
Paul Mooney is a comedic genius.
"As long as I can keep it up!"
At least he an honest President!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
There'll never be another one like him! The greatest! 😂😂😂
That's right, there may have been some and will be some who'll come in a close 2nd but there'll never be anyone as funny as he was, and I feel bad for anyone who wasn't there at that time to really get it about his humor, this is still funny in this day and age but not nearly as funny as it was then, you had to be there to really get it.
All hail the king, King Richard the 1st.
“Will yo mama do my house!” It killed me 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
So many comedic legends in there, John Witherspoon, Robin Williams, and Richard Pryor
Tim Reid (Ebony) and Marsha Warfield (Jet) as well! 👍
Sandra Bernhard
Had to re look to see Robin
Yeah, he had a legendary cast for his show. Its a wonder why it was short-lived.
Paul Mooney
This aged like fine wine
Greatest Comedian Ever.
Richard Pryor is the only King of Comedy
One of the greatest sketches ever!!
Brother Richard Pryor is so hilarious.
Pryor turns important issues into laughter.
Brother Paul Mooney writes his scripts too.
RIP Brother Richard Pryor
RIP to them Both 🙏🏾👍🏾
RIP to Brother Paul Mooney also 😎✊🏾🤎
This one of the best skits ever done In the history of comedy
3:51 Robin Williams as a photographer in the back covering his face with camera to hide his laughter
I would've never spotted him if someone hadn't pointed it out in the comments. I was watching it again and wondering how they all kept such straight faces when I noticed Robin raise his camera. 😂 Lol, he always did have trouble keeping a straight face during his lines.😢
Yo this man facial expression and body language alone are some of his greatest attributes as a comedian like he set the trend and it’s 2023 I still see him in others
I'm amazed at how well this holds up. 1977?? Talk about being ahead of his time....
Richard Pryor is the GOLD STANDARD 💰😎
I see Marsha Warfield, Johnny Yune, Sandra Bullock, John Witherspoon, Tim Reid, and Robin Williams. That’s a testament to Richard’s care for his up and coming comedians.
Sandra Bullock?
@@jeannie1renee2Sandra Bernhard
Which one is Robin Williams?
@@SH-jv5ufstanding in the back with a camera
@@SH-jv5ufat the beginning of the sketch. Williams is standing at the back near the curtains. He has no lines. He also plays a lawyer in one of the episodes on "The Richard Pryor Show." It's on youtube also. He's good in that.
That ending was solid gold. Could never do that these days.
When he said "his jaws were still tight" about James Harris, my afro grew back!!! He and "Jefferson Street" Joe Gilliam were trying to break the NFL white QB carousel long before we heard of Warren Moon and Doug Williams.
4:36
Johnny Yune, John Witherspoon, Marsha Warfield, Tim Reid, Sandra Bernhard, and Robin Williams I noticed.
A virtual treasure trove of comedy on this cast. Richard Pryor had the good sense to bring them with him.
Is John Witherspoon father to Reese Witherspoon?
The cast was awesome.
3:56 - "Whatchu lookin' at, Snow White?" 😂
3:46 Sandra Berhart can be seen
This could have been written yesterday and they wouldn't need to change a single word.
🎯👍🏾
@@AiTao114black coaches and owners still does
@@lance.da.legend9837 We Got 5 Coaches (NFL)
@@DC_R out of 32....u think that's good....and how many owners do we have?
@@lance.da.legend9837 Aye.... I'm more that sure I'm the most Passionate Person in this thread for the Uprise of Our People.... And I said that to say this.... I'm All About Precise Information.... That's It Calm Down. I Never Mentioned Ownership For A Reason💡
Still waiting on the Black Football owners. He practically called everything in the video. Wow, what a masterpiece.
"Mississippi Harold"
Sit down.
The best thing about this sketch now - is knowing what the first black president had to fight through. So ahead of his time!
‘I mean why do you think they call it the White House ‘😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow, that was a great final punchline, damn Pryor was a great man!
I miss Richard Pryor. Truly one of the greatest.
"What's your question about sir?"
"My question? I'm leadin' up to my question. My question is about your mother!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'm done😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
6:27 “Will your mama do my house?” 😂😂😂
I was cheering for them to whoop his ass
That was hilarious
A COMIC genius 100%..
RIP Richard Pryor.. Thank YOU for all.......ALL of the laughter..
OMG! I’m cracking up at this skit 😂😂😂! I can’t believe I didn’t know Richard Pryor had a sketch comedy show until 2023.
4:21 when it goes off the rails. Best skit ever
But he ain't lying though that was f***** up what they did to James Harris he was only there one season
I've watched this at least 100 times. Prior to youtube I'd google it. This one is so clear you feel like you're in the meeting.
Another Great One is Laurel and Hardy in the Army WWII driving a jeep all over the place. Hilarious!
Tim Reid was funny as hell
Tim Reid never got enough credit for how good he was.
Whatchu lookin at Snow White? 😂
I think Snow White is Sandra Bernhard, I never thought she went back this far. What a great show, I see why people say Richard did this before Chapelle
John (Bang, Bang, Bang) Witherspoon , Marsha Winfield and Sandra Bernhard all in one skit!
Pryor saw the future....
As long as I can keep it up 😂😂😂😂😂😂
He was amazing and so funny - beloved by everyone...he won five Academy Awards . I wish I had met him just to say thanks ...
Who are you referring too?
If you look really carefully, you can see Robin Williams as a nonspeaking photographer in the back of the room!
I'm ROTFL!!! I grew up in the Richard Pryor comedy Era he was truly bold, one of a kind, original and thee best to do it!!! 🤣🤣🤣 he was the KING of comedy!!!
Pryor was ahead of his time...
This skit and Star Wars Bar is funnier than anything SNL and MadTV put together.
His talent was majestic
"I feel that it's time for black people to go to Space. 😅 White people have been going to Space for a long time now....😅 and we're no longer gonna have classical music......we're gonna have some Miles Davis and Charlie Parker 🤣"
Best President ever!!!
STRAIGHT HILARITY!!!!!! I miss this man so much!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🙏🏾☝🏾💜💜
RIP Richard Pryor and John Witherspoon
Don't forget Robin Williams. He ain't just chopped liver--so to speak.
😂😂😂😂😂 Richard Pryor was ahead of his time
Best SKETCH I ever seen in my life
😆😆😂😂😂😂😂
Robin Williams on the back wall as a photographer
Richard found a way to speak on the ugliest issues of America in a very artistic way....he actually matured a whole lot during his career and not only do I like him as a comedian but I also respect him as a Man
This is Sooooo Classic.....
WILL YO MAMA DO MY HOUSE??? 😂😂😂 Wasn’t expecting that!
4:54 the best & funniest part of this brilliant clip!
More realistic than Obama could have EVER imagined. 🤣🤣🤣
This show didn't last very long but my dad always talked about it. He saw the original episodes when they aired. This is actually pretty funny and it gets better as it goes on.
Am I the only one recognized a young “Pops” from Friday at 2:25
Was that Marsha Warfield and John Witherspoon?
Yes
Huey Newton....lawd I cant- 🤣🤣🤣
Sharp-eyed viewers may notice a young Benedict Cumberbatch standing post.
Lots of classic comedians in that skit. John Witherspoon, Marsha Wafrield, Tim Reid, Sandra Bullock, Robin williams
Sandra Bullock? You mean Sandra Bernhard!!!
No one comes close the GOAT!!! Bernie Mac maybe closest!! Love this thank you 🙏🏽
What about Redd Foxx?....The Original King Of Comedy.
@@unknownunknown9296 Flip Wilson 🤣
@@unknownunknown9296, Redd Foxx was a comedic genius
@@safee4540 Flip Wilson didn't get the credit that he so righteously deserved.
@@craigprice1598 To the fullest. If it wasn't for him, there wouldn't be no Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, Bernie Mac...Nobody.
Anyone else notice Robin Williams in the back? He was the photographer, looks like one of his first gigs
This never gets old.
Do I see Robin Williams in the back?🤣
Richard Pryor was the best. He made me laugh, and I really thank him for that
Dave Chappelle before Dave Chappelle 😂😂😂
Another idiot who has to mention Dave idiot chapple
Richard Pryor before Dave Chappelle 😉
Underrated comment
😂👍🏾👍🏾
😂😂 all facts for reals
6:14 he be like say something about my momma again I dare ya
This started out slow but came up to ludicrous speed really fast!!! HILARIOUS!!!
Was that Marsha Warfield as the reporter from Jet?
Yes
almost 50 years later and that's still hysterical..i know things had to change up a bit but the post PC era was funny as hell!
Oh man this just gets better and better lol. 😂
Wonder how many young people watching this understand the significance of Huey Newton and James Harris in this segment?
I love how all black comedians, Dave Chapelle, Key and Peele and many others have done this very same bit...except Pryor never had the Obama reference :)
Watch this skit so many times. It never gets old 😆
So many comedians here Richard Pryor, a young jon Witherspoon, Robin Williams, Sandra Bernhard, Marshall Warfield and more!!!
First time me seeing a young John Witherspoon. This show was great .. Richard Pryor was pure Genius..💯
My 100th time watching this. 🤣🤣🤣 And I finally noticed something to ask about, Why did Secret Service escort out the President like a bad cat? 🤣😭🤣
The James Harris line was great
Sadly, this makes more sense than most of what our current president is saying.
Good point. The current President is a 🤡
@@SeanRankin2 No, the 45th president was a clown.
The last guy was fucking brain dead. Joe may be slow, but he's sharper than hell.
@Burt Maclin, FBI have you not seen how bad the country is today 🤦🏾😹
John Witherspoon omg wasn’t bad looking man back then
Did anyone notice that the Jet magazine reporter at 3:14 is Marsha Warfield?
Man this joint was funny then and it’s funny now 😂😂😂😂
It was 1977. In this, he was the 40th President.
We had to wait until #45, but back then very few of us ever thought it would happen in our lifetime.
1:01 Johnny Yune from They Call Me Bruce
He was Obama before Obama was Obama. Lol.
Right on
time to put on Brewster's Millions and enjoy the good old days when they made real movies
What made it real?
