IMO, it is a two man conversation and Pryor is not in it. I see it as Chappelle chasing Carlin.

Based strictly on stand-up— this obviously is not a popular opinion— I think Cosby blew Pryor out of the water. It’s all personal preference but it’s not even close for me.

I haven’t watched Himself in about a decade, I’m gonna get a rewatch on my calendar.

Pryor is the GOAT comedian. Damn near all the greats (white or black) hold Pryor in the highest regard.

You’re entitled to your opinion.

Damn near all the greats (white or black) hold Pryor in the highest regard.

Not just the greats. He is the consensus pick. That doesn’t mean other opinions aren’t valid.

Also I think there is a level of bias to the opinions people express. Bill Cosby was famously an asshole. Anybody who learns about his history with Eddie Murphy will side with Eddie. Pryor was cool, he and Eddie were edgy, Cosby was a scold. That’s without even getting into the drugging and raping. It’s easy to understand why casuals would prefer praising Pryor.

I’d rather hang with Pryor and I think he was a better person. But I think Cosby was a much better stand-up comedian.
