His "faith" must be in the form of a .357 Magnum! (Or, at least in the form of a 9 MM)!!! After hearing that girl make fun of his Mama, he probably felt like shooting her! When she said what she did 'bout his Mama, he was all like "Man... don't NOBODY talk about my Mama!!!!!
Too bad Saturday Night Live sucks now compared to these ones. Sad. They have too much political bullshit in them. I love the days may be picked on everybody and not just certain ones. Lol.
Pryor: A comedic genius. The guy was the gold stanard of improv, delivery-facial expression and timing. Peace to all. Have a better day than your last.
I like Richard Pryor kept saying, "The bed is on my foot." I also like Laraine Newman saying to Richard, "Your mama eats kitty litter." Richard replies, "Say what?" Laraine finally replies, "I said your mama eats kitty litter." It is almost fifty years old, and this skit is still funny and comedy gold. RIP Richard, you are sorely missed.
This was arguably the scariest movie ever made, but after you this sit and see the movie it becomes a comedy. A testament to the comedic genius of Richard Pryor.
So sad that today comedy is under the control of the left. The political police have shut it all down! Thanks for voting for these dumb asses! Thanks for nothing!
Richard Pryor always great but props to actor Thalmus Rasulala, who had a great career and especially in the 70s was all over movies and television, doing both comedies and drama. One role he played great was as Raj and Dee's dad in "What's Happening."
Absolutely. It wasn't the 70s without Thalamus Rasulala. He always had great dramatic, and comedic timing. Don't forget the movie "The Sophisticated Gents" which featured numerous big name and well known 70s black actors. Che k a t Out! Ciao!!!
I watched this SNL skit live also many years ago. Without question Richard Pryor was the most genius situational, and stand-up comedy talent. No one has matched his excellence before and since.
@Scott And the Sasquatch He was hilarious... And whenever I need a good laugh, I spin one of his old records. Almost sixty years since he started out on the scene... And those old albums are absolutely some of the funniest material ever recorded. Cheers
Watched it 3x in a row. Haven't belly laughed like that in years. SNL writers and performers were creating comedic art back then. When SNL first aired no matter where I was on a Saturday night I always made it home in time to grab a snack, roll a joint and turn on the TV. I was 17 then. I'm 68 now. The only thing that's changed is the quality of SNL. Joints and snacks remain. ☺
Pryor is “funny” personified. He had everything. The material, the delivery, the physical comedy, and the insight. Nobody will ever come close to his talent and presence. RIP.
If you were born in 1977-2000 those were the days when everything was jumping and everything was alive and great and Yes Gene Wilder & Richard Pryor made us laugh and they were both legends... Richard Pryor was in Superman 3 he played Gus and he got to fly with Christoper Reeve who is also dead. I miss SNL those were the days when COMEDY was in its PRIME*** I miss the old days now SNL is stupid now***
I remember being like 8 at my grandma's house and listening to old cassettes of Pryor from the 70's that belonged to my aunt. I wasn't even 10 yet but his routine about putting cocaine on your dick was the funniest thing I'd ever heard, even though I didn't really know what cocaine was.
Trivia: Richard Pryor improvised and then milked the bed on his foot until they lifted the bed off his foot. That was the genius of Richard Pryor. To be able to improvise something that works so well and then make everyone work around him.
Absolutely right if anyone noticed the first time he said it the other guy actually looks to see it the bed was really on his foot. Realized it wasn’t and just went right along with it.
JT Michaelson this man is still the king 🤴🏿 of comedy nobody but Dave Chappell comes close to not having to say a thing and still be funnier than everybody else!
I don't care how old this is.... Even demons know... u/don't ever talk about a black man's momma... Honest to GOD... Just too funny! I have tears rolling down my eyes...
Even in a comedy skit... "The Exorcist " piano music is STILL creepy as Hell. I get goose bumps every time I hear it. I was 10 then (1973) and 58 today. In 2023 it will be 50 years old. It a Hall of Fame horror movie. Friends and family STILL discuss it with me after all these years.
That first line about leaving his faith in the car had me in stitches along with him flinching from the paranormal floating objects upon walking in 😂😂😂
I haven't seen this skit for years. I'm glad to see it still makes me laugh my butt off watching it. RIP Richard. Thanks for All the comedy gold you left behind.
Especially when she throws the pea soup in his face, and then, looking him straight in the eyes, says "SUCKER"!!! Man, that was hilarious! Then, after offering him a rose, she breaks the vase over his head, and says "JIVE TURKEY"!!! He's still patient with her...until she makes the mistake of talking about his Mama. Oops!!! He looks down on her, and says "Say what"? I mean, he loses all his fear, right then & there! When she's stupid enough to repeat the insult, it's on! He's all over her like white on rice! Then the other Priest stops him...until she turns out to be too stupid to keep her yap shut! She insults him too-twice! Then they BOTH jump on her, strangling her!!! The morale of the story is:If you're gonna talk about a Black Man's Mama, be prepared to get yo butt strangled!!!
This is one of the top funniest skits anywhere. "The bed must be on the floor, the bed must be on the floor. The bed is on my foot, the bed is on my foot". Absolutely a classic.
“The Bed must be on the Floor...The Bed must be on the Floor...The Bed must be on the Floor..” (Thud) “The Bed is on My Foot...The Bed is on My Foot...The Bed is on My Foot!” “I must rest..” “You MUST REST?! THE BED IS ON MY FOOT!!!”
When you consider this bit along with Pryor's opening monologue, Samauri Hotel, and The Job Interview, this might have been the greatest single SNL ever.
This is my favorite SNL show from over 40 years ago. Richard Pryor was a comedic tour de force on that show that night. My favorite skit was the word association skit Pryor did with Chevy Chase that had you had laughing your butt off, it was that magical.
When you had your own material to be funny or like Pryor you just wing it sometimes. So much garbage from today. Take notes Saturday night live, THIS is comedy! Folks are getting tired of your same old same rhetoric.
buickmonte I love that part, too! He goes on such an angry tear that the Senior father tries to stop him, gets insulted himself, and they BOTH end up strangling her! Priceless!!!
They also genuinely acted in a scene, and made eye contact with the other actors rather than just reading cue cards over each other's shoulders. Christopher Walken practically moves his head when speaking his lines
Better writers and performers. There was always political humor....but or was across the board. And they didn't beat the political humor into the ground like they do today.
"Where's your faith father?", "It's in the car, I'm gonna go get it"!! Lolololol. I love Richard Pryor, gosh, I was watching him when I was a little kid too. Red Fox, Carlin, SNL, I have always loved to laugh better than anything, it's actually one of the best ways to learn and heal. There are just so many incredible comedic geniuses that I adore for those reasons.
Compared to all the stupid exorcism movies of the past 15 years, The Exorcist 2 really isn't all that bad. It at least has a fantastic musical soundtrack. Even several of the original reviews back then mentioned that.
The first priest was played by the late Thalmus Rasulala (Yes. That's his name. Look him up!) He had a great career from theater to movies. He was in Str Trek:TNG as well.
Thank you, I was trying to place him. He's one of those actors you recognize instantly and realize you've seen in a lot of roles, feel bad that you don't know their name but feel good that they worked so much.
He was last seen in General Hospital in the 90's as the Aboriginal shaman friend of Robert and Mac Scorpio (he had attended Robert's wedding to Anna Devane)
b133le If It weren't for actors likeThalmus 2day wouldn't have had a chance. Because most of them can't act. He was 1 of the most UNDERRATED actors of ALL-TIME. 1 of his 1st gigs was the Twilight Zone...
I can’t believe it’s 42 years old... oops, wait a minute you left your comment a year ago so it’s 43 years old!! Richard Pryor was an absolute comedic genius. I always heard everyone praising him and I‘ve seen little bits and pieces on RUclips ... A few weeks back I watched a full Richard Pryor stand up gig on Netflix ( I think it’s from the mid70s ; possibly between 1975 and 1979 )... He was/is incredible !! It was amazing inspiring to see him in his prime what a fast mind he had! so incredibly funny and this was a concert that was taped, so it was awe-inspiring to see him adapt his routine to whatever was going on in the audience! I mean we’re talking somebody with the ability to alter what they had planned to say in milliseconds. None of his jokes were dated, everything he said was as true now as it was then.. watch it if you get time... I really was laughing so hard that I was crying. (People say that a lot and we even have emojis for that nowadays ,but we all know that level of laughing is rare. Well you watch this Richard Pryor special you will be laughing so hard you’ll have tears rolling down your face for real! Now I understand why today’s comedians all mention Richard Pryor as the person they hope to emulate. The man truly was a genius!!
3:45 - 😂 . Was just telling my mom last night how my sweet son will snap in 2 seconds if anyone "talks about his momma". Lol. I replayed several times, this is classic. "Say what". Lol lol lol
I'm 64 y/o and I saw this LIVE on SNL the nite Pryor hosted it. It was funny asf then as it is NOW bc I hv tears from all the laughing I just did 😂. Haven't seen this in DECADES. Long live RUclips!
That was when SNL was funny that skit with Richard Pryor was great now SNL sorry to say there just out right STUPID,no interest in it at all for the last 10 years not funny at all Alec Baldwin is a complete idiot.
"Where's your faith, Father?"
"It's in the car, I'm going to get it"

Epic 🤣😂🤣😂
saw it when I was a kid... couldn't breath I was laughing so hard!
Did Mel Brooks use this in the scene from Young Frankenstein with the "revolving bookcase". "Put ze kandel bek!"
This happened 10 years before I was born and it’s still funny.
"Don't NOBODY talk about my MAMA!" Hilarious! X)
R.I.P to the iconic Richard Pryor. He was a comedic genius. His performance in this SNL sketch was extremely funny. It is pure comedy gold.
And Thalmus too
I am 57 years old and remember seeing this episode in high school. Sheer brilliance. I'm still laughing!
I remember this, too! I'm 57 y.o. and used to watch SNL with my sister and a couple of her friends every Saturday night.
How the hell can you not.laugh at it
I watched this SNL skit live also many years ago.
Without question Richard Pryor was the most genius situational, and stand-up comedy talent.
No one has matched his excellence before and since.
57? Stop lying Michelle out here looking better than most 30 year olds!! I’m 34 and I’d take you out on a date right now.
Ditto! We were saying 'the bed is on my foot' for weeks in school. Good times
Richard Pryor still makes me laugh my ass off.
His SNL appearances were some of the best comedy moments
He just had it. Had it every time.
He did have and I havent seen it since then, RIP Mr Pryor we all miss your comedic genius.
@Scott And the Sasquatch
He was hilarious... And whenever I need a good laugh, I spin one of his old records.
Almost sixty years since he started out on the scene... And those old albums are absolutely some of the funniest material ever recorded.

God I loved Richard Pryor
Pretty much everything Pryor did should be dipped in gold.

Best part was Pryor's sudden change in demeanor when she made the mama joke lol.
He chocked her out tho lol
You gotta love the fade.
I love how she grabs his hand so he could almost certainly face sudden DEATH ☠️.
He turned hood with his stance, 😂😂
Thats some real shit,back in the day if you wanted to pick a fight,yo momma would do the trick

One of the best SNL skits ever that originated from Pryor's standup act he did about the movie the Exorcist. Both very funny.
1975 skits are still better than modern 2019 skits.

Back then it wasn't about political correctness, they just wanted to be funny! and they were!
You're so right! After Eddie and Joe left,I bailed out on the show.
Because they had better writers and wrote smart shit.
They also genuinely acted in a scene, and made eye contact with the other actors rather than just reading cue cards over each other's shoulders. Christopher Walken practically moves his head when speaking his lines
Better writers and performers. There was always political humor....but or was across the board. And they didn't beat the political humor into the ground like they do today.
Every time somebody tells me they need to rest, Pryor's delivery of "You must REST?!" pops into my mind.

Red Fox, Carlin, SNL, I have always loved to laugh better than anything, it's actually one of the best ways to learn and heal. There are just so many incredible comedic geniuses that I adore for those reasons.
"Father... Father please! Let me help you!" and helps him strangle the girl. I thought that part was one of the funniest lines in this one!
"THE BED IS ON MY FOOT!" Still gets me everytime.
The only reason I watched this is Richard Pryor is in it
Father please, let me help you 😂
Jive Turkey. Miss that one. Let’s try to bring that one back.
Sucks that the real Exorcist 2 wasn't like this.
As far as I'm concerned, this IS the real Exorcist 2.
I mean it was funny, just for all the wrong reasons.
Compared to all the stupid exorcism movies of the past 15 years, The Exorcist 2 really isn't all that bad. It at least has a fantastic musical soundtrack. Even several of the original reviews back then mentioned that.
The first priest was played by the late Thalmus Rasulala (Yes. That's his name. Look him up!) He had a great career from theater to movies. He was in Str Trek:TNG as well.
Thank you, I was trying to place him. He's one of those actors you recognize instantly and realize you've seen in a lot of roles, feel bad that you don't know their name but feel good that they worked so much.
b133le And the captain in New Jack city!!
He was a great actor
He was last seen in General Hospital in the 90's as the Aboriginal shaman friend of Robert and Mac Scorpio (he had attended Robert's wedding to Anna Devane)
b133le If It weren't for actors likeThalmus 2day wouldn't have had a chance. Because most of them can't act. He was 1 of the most UNDERRATED actors of ALL-TIME. 1 of his 1st gigs was the Twilight Zone...
I agree with another post....42 years old SNL skit, and still funnier than the present day SNL.
You and I are funnier than that bullshit.
I can’t believe it’s 42 years old... oops, wait a minute you left your comment a year ago so it’s 43 years old!! Richard Pryor was an absolute comedic genius.
I always heard everyone praising him and I‘ve seen little bits and pieces on RUclips ... A few weeks back I watched a full Richard Pryor stand up gig on Netflix ( I think it’s from the mid70s ; possibly between 1975 and 1979 )... He was/is incredible !! It was amazing inspiring to see him in his prime what a fast mind he had! so incredibly funny and this was a concert that was taped, so it was awe-inspiring to see him adapt his routine to whatever was going on in the audience! I mean we’re talking somebody with the ability to alter what they had planned to say in milliseconds.
None of his jokes were dated, everything he said was as true now as it was then.. watch it if you get time... I really was laughing so hard that I was crying. (People say that a lot and we even have emojis for that nowadays ,but we all know that level of laughing is rare. Well you watch this Richard Pryor special you will be laughing so hard you’ll have tears rolling down your face for real!
Now I understand why today’s comedians all mention Richard Pryor as the person they hope to emulate. The man truly was a genius!!
Old SNL was miles better than this shit today
SNL was at the top of their game during this era. Richard Pryor, simply outstanding!
Totally agree. It was an era when people had a sense of humor, instead of a sense of "You have offended me".
Truth Indeed
I can't stop laughing!! Not the bed is on my foot!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When Richard Pryor, John Belushi, Chris Farley, John Candy, Gilda Radner passed away , so did SNL.
@@imback3200 After these comedians died,yeah,they all became lean years.SNL isn't funny anymore like it was.
You forgot Phil Hartman
John Candy was SCTV.. not SNL.
4 gauge ....agreed!😶
@@4gauge10 you are so right! The SNL now is absolutely Silly, & NOT funny at all!!
Back when SNL was funny, and the cast actually knew their lines, and didn't noticeably look over to read que cards.
que cards? Dude, learn to spell. It's CUE*** cards, not que cards.
Did trump tell you that?
snl is almost always funny
True, there needs to be an SNL sketch about douche performers who rely too much on cue cards.
Thomas Fleig you are damn right. The actors were a hell of lot more funnier.
Today they just called them Karens!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Anti white
Comedy Mann!! 😂 R.I.P Richard Pryor
vigilantR ok
vigilantR Ameeen!!!
3:45 - 😂 . Was just telling my mom last night how my sweet son will snap in 2 seconds if anyone "talks about his momma". Lol. I replayed several times, this is classic. "Say what". Lol lol lol
I'm 64 y/o and I saw this LIVE on SNL the nite Pryor hosted it. It was funny asf then as it is NOW bc I hv tears from all the laughing I just did 😂. Haven't seen this in DECADES. Long live RUclips!
How can a skit with "jive Turkey" in it....not be classic!!
That was when SNL was funny that skit with Richard Pryor was great now SNL sorry to say there just out right STUPID,no interest in it at all for the last 10 years not funny at all Alec Baldwin is a complete idiot.
This brought back so many memories. My husband who died over 20 years ago used to do a great impression of Richard Pryor.
This and the interview to be a janitor is the top 5 greatest skits ever in SNL history!!!
