Bill Cosby should win hands down. He does'nt pretend to make people laugh. He makes them laugh with good clean humor and that is the way comedy should be.

Is a thing to which we blacks are wise.
Her bandage hides two festering sores
That once perhaps were eyes."

Yeah...I spent about a year searching high and low for 'Delirious' untill I finally found a copy on 'ebay'...and paid thru my nose for it.baba no regrets wrote:I've got Eddie Murphy's Raw and Delirious stuff of 1987 on VCD but I don't have a website. When I get time. Could pass it on to Eagle winged so he can upload to his site for everyone to see.
Anyone that aint seen these two should do so before they discount Eddy mUrphy.
I think he was a far better stand-up comedian than he ever was a comedy actor.
Watch Delirious and Raw, and you'll know why.
However, I never really saw Pryor's works as a stand-up, and many say Eddie based much of his stuff on Pryor's 'prior' work.
Probably true.

As far as comedians go, Eddie Murphy wins in my book. I've seen his works and those of Pryor. Murphy makes your laugh deeper cos he looks stupid, in line with his comic antics. Pryor on the other hand, whilst funny, always gave the impression of possessing a more calculating, inward persona not in line with his public persona.

Any thoughts on Chris Rock? Although very funny I think he's a bit of a one-trick pony.
