Mentagasm,
Mudbone and friend goes to see Mrs. Rudolf.

The line, "that's when I grabbed my knife".

Also the monkeys fucking in the tree when the neighbors dog comes up to him says whats the matter Rich.

Richard also had some aside lines that that are classic...
"I don't want to live so long as to have to remember pass yesterday the last piece of pussy that I had." Something like that.

bountyhunterseven,

This changes all the time. So it's unfair to just ask for one. But right now, a favorite bit is the playboy bunny joke. Y'know the one from Live On The Sunset Strip? Basically Pryor talks about this bunny liking his impressions of kid voices. The more he talked like a child, the more she clothing she would take off. By the time she got to her panties, Pryor was cooing like a baby. "She gave birth to me about 9:30!" Simple, direct and just plain funny....

gypsy36,

The bit in which Richard portrays a kid trying to bullshit his way out of trouble is on the classic "Live In Concert" video/DVD. The entire performance (shot in 1979, and featuring Jennifer walking with Richard from their car to the venue at the beginning of it) features Pryor at the absolute top of his game.

Reg_Man_98,

Way too many to choose from. But here's some that put me on the floor:

"The motor fell out of the car, right. The motor said FUCK IT" (Live in Concert)

"Great Dane said,'I don't know what it is, but I'm gonna fuck it'" (Live in Concert)

"Motherfucker dead. Let's dance his ass off" (Here & Now)

What can I say? I can be here listing shit all night. Richard is a comic genius. No one else made the impact Richard did. I MEAN NO ONE!!!!!!

My favorite is "Little Feets" -- an outrageous tale about one man trying to help another man get rid of a "mojo" curse. They go to visit "Miss Rudolph" (and her monkey!) and the fun begins.

I remember the first time I heard "Little Feets." It was in the mid 1970s, sitting in my girlfriend's bedroom, listening to the album "Is It Something I Said?" My friend saw Pryor perform at the Fischer Theater in Detroit and she was telling everyone about this genius comedian.

For years my friends and I would say short quotes from this story ("and the piss turned blue!" or "Holy Jesus, Holy Jesus!" or "I don't care if the bitch is in Timbuktu she's got a turkey comin' from me!" and on and on and on) and we'd break out in laughter.

30 years have passed since I first heard "Little Feets" and it's as funny today as it was back then.

Comedy doesn't get much better than Pryor.

Thank you, Rich--you made a difference.

I thought I'd mention this one we used to recite all the time when I was a teenager and would go out on dates,I already know I'm not going to do it the proper justice but you'll get the gist:

Father:"Boy what's yo problem?'

Richard;"I'll tell you what the problem is, I spent 30 dollars on your daughter and didn't get no pussy"

Father:".....30 dollars!!!...girl better give him something before I have to hurt this boy and tell ya mama to come down here too!!!"

Mentagasm,

Tough one. Here's a few that kill me every time.

Mafia Nightclub "stick up Haaaaaa"
Wino Vs Dracula "You wanna suck what?"
But my all time favourite is Little Feets. Too much to quote, and you have all heard it anyway.
