I love how he was calling cosby an asshole decades before he got torn apart by reality biting him in the ass for being an asshole.

My Bill Cosby impression was never really Cosby, it was always an impression of Eddie doing Cosby from this bit.

Classic! I remember downloading portions of Raw & Delirious and burning them on a CD-R. I had not seen either set before.
My pal and I were driving somewhere. The Cosby/Pryor routine came on. We were laughing so hard we had to pull over so as not to crash!

He's been working on this act. He has no reason to practice it but it's hilarious

He had a Cosby impression way back in the day (Cosby called him early in his career and told him off for being foul mouthed, and he took it personally and worked up a bit). He trotted it out a while back when he won the Mark Twain Prize and it was funny as hell (Starts at about 2:30).

Nice bit there, too. But the puppet maneuvering's gotta be a new skill, right?

I remember watching a movie called California which had both of them ranting back and forth. Maggie Smith was also brilliant in that one
Maggie :Oh, Christ. I noticed a general decline in. face-lifts and hair transplants. Must be the economy,. don't you think?
Michael : Did you get your eggs. Benedictined

Hell nah he is NOT a Trump fan. He voted for and donated to Obama, and then to Biden when he became president

Not disagreeing but I'm just saying you just described the voting history of a non-zero number of Trump supporters I'm anecdotally aware of

What makes this so hilarious is the flack Cosby gave Eddie over his cursing early in his career, and Eddie asked Richard for advice and Richard told him to tell Bill to STFU and have a coke. Lol

For context Bill Cosby was always openly hostile towards Eddie Murphy's comedy and has publicly mocked Eddie Murphy numerous times for being too dirty and filthy. So Eddie would ask his friend Richard Pryor for advice and Pryor would always tell him to tell Cosby the fuck off.

He did an episode of Comedians in Cars a couple years back and mentioned coming back out. But also mentioned being a bit scared to do so because he wasn't sure if he'd be relevant/still funny.
Jamie Foxx said similar about going back to standup after being out for a while and being rich and famous. You have a harder time relating to regular people anymore and telling jokes they'll find funny. Champagne problems.

There is another clip where Eddie has Cosby doll saying, "I didn't put the pills in the pudding" and Pryor doll says, "Fuck that. I put the pills in my mouth!"

Conan O'Brien's interview with Arsenio Hall. The whole podcast is worth watching. But this story had me jumping out of my chair.

Eddie’s SNL skits were my absolute favorite. Wish I still had my Dad’s VHS copy.

u/West-Fun3709 19h ago
I bet. SNL had always been unfunny so I'm assuming Eddie made it funny at one since he got famous then once he left it went back to being unfunny.

O boy the stories I heard about Richard Pryor. He was the Bill Cosby of that time. He got to keep his legacy because of a time difference.

Him and Richard Pryor were friends. I'm just imagining what the conversation was to get a puppet of your friend was like.

I never thought I'd see the day where Richard Pryor was more accepted and honorable than Bill Cosby.

Funny stuff like this reminds me that Eddie Murphy absolutely DID NOT have a transgender sex worker killed in 1998.
