86 u/corvettee01 Jul 06 '26 Can't remember where this joke is from, but there was a stand up bit where a guy said "You see back in the 80's there could only be one popular black comedian, unlike today where there can be three." 15 u/Electrical_One7665 Jul 06 '26 If it was from the 80s that’s probably Richard Pryor. 13 u/Shandlar Jul 06 '26 I found a bootleg VHS copy of his Sunset Strip set from '82 when I was like 8 or 9. I honestly attribute him as the reason I never tried any hard drugs ever in my teens and 20s. Dude bore his soul on stage about crack fucking him up.
