Greatest Stand-Up Comic Of All Time

[GonzoStyle]

Lenny Bruce in my honest opinion was not a "ha ha" funny comic. He made you think more than laugh. He was extremely political but only cause of what surrounded him, he paved the way for all comics by challenging their 1st ammendmant rights to say what they wanted. Thats why I see him more like a larry flint meets a dennis miller. He was a smart comic.

Pryor didn't care if you got it or not because he would make you get it. Pryor was the pioneer of painting pictures on stage for people, he would make you understand wether you were black or white. He'd make white people understand what he was talking about as a black man, he'd make blacks understand vice versa what he meant when dealing with white society he'd encountered.

The main thing was he never did, set up, joke, punchline, like everyone was doing before him. Richard dealt with pain and real life, he'd tell stories that people could relate to. When you saw Pryor you didn't feel like you were seeing a comic but an old wise uncle who you knew your whole life and he was gonna lay some knowlege on you and make you laugh your ass off.
