RIP Richard Pryor

Easily top 5 of all time. He could make a strong case at #1.

He is often imitated but there can only be one comedy god and that is Richard Pryor.

RIP
 
[quote name='AdamInPlaidum']Can't say I'm terribly surprised. He's looked really bad for a long time now. One of the greats im his prime, though.[/QUOTE]

I agree, He was a great comic. However when I read RIP Richard pryor, I said to myself finally. After he set himself on fire he was never the same. He should of died the night he caught fire. Not trying to be a dick but just saying. Their sit for many years a comic genius however stuck in that body he could not do anything. He was just a shell of himself. IN a sense he's been dead for many years.
 
He suffered from MS for quite some time. While it is sad that he is gone, at least he is no longer suffering. Goodbye, Richard.
 
[quote name='b0bx13']I thought he was already dead. Still a shame.[/QUOTE]

Whew, I'm not the only one.

But yeah he is one funny guy.
 
At least Richard didn't suffer when it was his time to go.

Without him, there wouldn't be stand-up comedy, or if there still would be... it wouldn't be as good.

The man was way before his time... and hopefully now he's making crowds laugh in Heaven. RIP Richard Pryor.
 
does anyone remember his appearance on "The Norm Show" as a crippled individual that norm is supposed to help? i forget the plot of the episode, but i remember the scene where he jumps on norm's back and attacks him while norm is flailing around.
 
I heard about it, wasn't too surprised. His time to go. Greatest stand up ever. Inspired pretty much every comic that followed him.

Lol sry for posting one behind the other but...(Insert Highlighted quote here)...Ya he just died...
 
Soon as I saw this thread, I yelled out an astounding "Noooooooo."

He is definitely a comedic legend. I've been trying to collect everything of his on DVD. He has always been a favorite of mine.

At least he's not suffering from MS anymore. I know that I will surely miss him though.

RIP Richard

I gotta go with you on this one, too. I thought he died several years ago.
 
Im glad he's finally gone. It absolutely tore me up inside seeing how bad he was getting. He's in a much better place now.
 
Gene Wilder + Richard Pryor = Comedic Gold. May he forever live on in his many great comedic masterpieces, R.I.P. Richard Pryor.

Yes. Probably the best comedy duo in cinema.

"Stir Crazy" and "Silver Streak" are two of the most pitch-perfect comedies.
 
Whenever I hear about an old dying comedian finnaly kicking the bucket, I think of Phil Hartman and get pissed that he was killed with a lot of time left.

R.I.P. Pryor, i'll watch blazing saddles for you this week
