if you have not see this tape you have not see stand up comedy at it fine . even the great george carlin and long my personal favorite and have never be this funny . in my first viewing of this tape at home on hbo with my family around 25 year ago ( i be twenty one ) i be sober and i couldn not stop laugh through the entire tape . twice i fell off the couch laughing ( a personal record ) . i rent it this week after he die and watch it twice more ( up to around 6 or 7 viewing by now ) . my eye water up with laughter three time and i know all the line . obviously and pryor be a comic genius and be at his peak here in both material and delivery . ( i could do without the liberal use of the n word ( a word he soon afterwords stop use ) and motherf r and but it flow naturally from his mouth and be not excessive . ) i be amaze that bill hicks relentless have an average rating of 9 . 6 ( never saw a rating that high ) and this tape have only a 7 . 8 average rating if ever a comedy tape deserve a 10 this be it ( with all due respect to bill hicks the laugh o meter be not close with this tape win hand down ) . pryor talk about his troubled life with honesty and hilarity . the beauty of his comedy be that you think he be just tell story when in actuality he be introduce a variety of premise which contain well craft joke and character who bring the visual image to life . his bit in which he describe a kid lie to his parent ( and you know he lie ) about how something break be as funny a stand up comedy get . other outstanding bit include white people ( i be white ) act tough and white people be nice when black people be around and woman go to the bathroom in the wood and his heart attack and his father die have sex and him have sex and his pet monkey and and a long bit about box with joke about muhammad ali and leon spinks . ( i have read ( not see ) that in the dvd version the sound mix be off and so i recommend the vhs tape . ) get a group of your friend ( preferably mixed race his white or black insight be superb ) and be ready to laugh like you have never laugh before . you can thank me later while you pay homage to a comedy legend if there ever be one . enjoy .
