The world has just gotten a lot smaller and a lot darker rest in peace Paul Mooney 1941-2021
Yes!Yes!Yes! I wished I heard of him years ago! He 🗣 fax! Truth and can back it up!!! He will educate you in a very unique way! Very underrated!!!
❤
The world is bigger and better because we will always have him.
Most definitely. None will compare to his style and realness. My favorite comedian. 💯🙏🏽
Do you not mean a lot whiter?
Mooney is probably the most brilliant black comedian there was, he didn't sugar coat his routine, he gave you the medicine and it was usually bitter.
Although he did have a lot of sugar🤢
Don't forget that he was Richard Pryor's writer for a very long time..
Also salty, at times quite so.
God bless him. He gives it to you straight.
That's why racist Hollywood hate
him
@@pauliedibbs9028 Paul Mooney has an extensive history of shows he wrote for not only Richard Pryor. ✊
The audience has some naturally beautiful black women.
wite dicka
Clint_tt 1 zofilia
@@loretogarcia6865 WTF is that???
Yeah, but Paul Mooney was checking out the men.
@@wendellbeverly6060 got em!!!
R.I.P. Paul Mooney 🙏🏾
SIP
He was one of a kind
No fears
I’ve watched more of his videos than ever before. I hold a lot of his views and damn near talk like him.
😭❤️
Man those black women look so good wearing THEIR OWN HAIR.
@Ana Lou It's hard not to notice. That's a beautiful sight that's rarely seen anymore, wouldn't you agree?
abu hassan Actually natural hair is pretty common to see these days
With the natural hair movement I'm currently seeing.....just stop it. Always got to be a miserable sad ass person saying some underhanded BS! We look good natural or not! I haven't straightened my hair in 6yrs.
@@fandrews26 black women are beautiful either way some brothas just like to put our women down
Hair hats lmao
So are we going to ignore how handsome Paul was/is?! This put a much needed smile on my face 😊
angie brown HE WAS A PRETTY MAN!!
Ooh Chile
the suit tho 😫😫
Ain't nobody ignoring Paul's fine re-fined ass! And he did genuinely love black women.
when roasting Richard Pryor, Richard referred to Paul as Ms. Thang! lol
Isn't he gay or something?
All of that natural hair is everything!
Natural hair is beautiful when cut combed and neatly shaped. I like it!
A extinct thing in today's time
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
🤜🤛 it's one of the reasons why as a kid I wanted to be black, their hair, is awesome.
I got my fro in now and i said the same thing. Those big fros are beautiful
Pure Brilliance... Even back then! My brother, the world is gonna miss you... Whether they wanna admit it or not!
DIng !! Bonus round!! Nailed it !!
I'm a white man I will miss this very truthfully funny person that unfortunately the world we live in might not have been ready for.
@@georgeleamy3534 shit him and George Carlin probably roasting EVERYONE from heaven rn am I right? 😂😂😂👍🏿
Rest In Power to Master Comedian, Writer and Actor Paul Mooney (1941-2021). Thank you for many, many years of laughter and consciousness. You will be sadly missed and never forgotten, Sir.
So cool to see him fresh and just starting out on the stage. You can tell he was nervous. That all disappeared as he grew bolder and more confident in his career. He gave more to this world than most realize. R.I.H. Paul Mooney.
This is GREAT!! A young, raw, unpolished Paul Mooney doin his thing. The 1970s was the golden age of stand up comedy. Thank u VERY much 4 postin’!
Richard Pryor - 1970's-era Celebrity Roast, on RUclips, had Mooney on it with a bad a$$ 'Fro.... I was born in 1974... I watched reruns of The Jeffersons, Sanford and Son, Good Times, All In The Family, What's Happening?, & Welcome Back Kotter. I never did see an episode of Chico and the Man though, with Freddie Prinze, Sr. I dig Richard Pryor, Dick Gregory, Joan Rivers, Robin Williams & Don Rickles, man. I liked Red Foxx as Sanford; I heard about Nipsey Russell, Lenny Bruce and Flip Wilson.
It was also the golden era of black beauty. It was amazing to be a part of it and to an observer. Nobody but blacks were doing 70s justice.
This man was a national treasure. I’m glad I got to see him live in action back in 2017
paul looks fly AF!
He was a handsome man!
He Only Aged In The Sand...Not From World
Paul Mooney is before his time.
Black People please give him his props cause he has never change!
Thank You !
L Howard yes sir. You are right
Facts same material that'll never get old
He was fucking men back then too?
Yeah, probably raping dudes back then.
L Howard He is sooo funny love him I would love to meet him
Forget Paul! James's beard is just hilariously amazing in itself. I mean, that man looks like the professor from Higher Learning! 😂😂
Elijah Frederick he looks like Lawrence fishburne lol that’s who you’re thinking of
@Brandon Thom Yes please! 😂😂
I was just wondering is James Earl Lawrence's dad
Morpheus from the Matrix.
I was like, Black Thought's uncle in the crowd. I admittedly don't know who he is outside of that.
This handsome man has been a legend!! His voice has not even changed
Paul is very gifted .... I was born in 83' never saw this show before!
Gerard's Horticulture Culture 76. Me either.
Me either until now
Thank you, Gerard. It's sad how most of these comments are irrelevant and childish ('Oh damn, look at James Earl Jones' beard!'). Comments like yours are greatly needed and appreciated.
I've been looking for this for years!!! I saw this episode over 40 years ago and knew this brother was something special. So was this show!! Thanx for the download!
The 1970s was an interesting decade. I can dig it because I was born in 1972.
Michael Cooper indeed...76r here 💪🏾
Lol I couldna lived in the 70s the Jim Crow laws probably still was fresh in the 70 & they was probably still. The emmit till thing happened in 55 I think MLK got killed in 68. That's kinda like how long ago 9-11 happened from now or Katrina still fresh in memory
Xander Morrisette Jr. You could have. There was more black unity then and zero tolerance to white folk bs compared to how it is now. They had their neighborhoods and blacks and latinos theirs. What i mean even more so was if a cop or white person period did something to ANYONE black and got caught in the hood it was on sight off GP. Im saying that from a NY point of view. The generation now is way too docile towards other races but are more disrespectful to their own no matter if its a child woman or elderly. Its like we once had a fuckin code. Im not trying to preach but being a kid seeing stuff, Hearing my elders talk about situations vs how are people now its way different. Its like we were more proud to be black then....well at least thats how it looked to me 🤷🏾♂️
Do you remember the 70"s? I was born in 75. I don't remember the 70's. My memories start around the early 80's.
@@karong7017 was born in 93 I don't know nun about the 70s I was saying from what I see. Look like it was all about disco/funk music, arfros and watching good times
Paul Mooney: goes through scandal involving Richard Pryor’s son
RUclips: Wanna see Paul Mooney’s first TV appearance?
That happened to me too 😂😂
@Forgotten KingzTv he definitely did it without doubt
Michael Jordan.... Slaaaaam Duuuuunk!!!
Out the blue..
All in the algorithm of what's trending...i think this is the 1st time I said algorithm lol
Paul was flamboyant as hell back then..
lol yep
Sweet as saccharin !!! But very intelligent and talented.
Paul still is, what you mean was?
@@dollyfrazier5885 you're right but he's nowhere near as flamboyant as he was then. All the hand movements and everything. He doesn't do it like that anymore. I have NEEEVER seen Paul this flamboyant and I watch anything I find Paul in.
I'm watching this shit, thinking about what Aries Spears asked about Paul Mooney to himself in a stand up Aries was doing; where Aries was telling a story about Paul. He was imitating Paul drinking a bottle of water and asked to himself about Paul, "is this nigga gay?". LMAO!
@@tonyjones-clark4960 l have to disagree . Yes Paul is flamboyant till the day he die. Never the less, he is a comic genius. Most of the time people cant comprehend some of his jokes. Too deep, too profound. Jokes that give you something to about. That's a rare quality. No one is the same twenty or more years ago

You showed us what a true artist is supposed to be. May you take your rightful place in the realm of the ancestors, Mr. Paul Mooney
He is a legend, I just absolutely love him!
Beautiful. This is awesome! He is still the same simply being himself; so real. I love Paul Mooney. Thanks for sharing.
Do you also think he has a little sugar in his tank too. A lot of women seem to think so.
Look at all the beautiful Afro. Good looking people in that place.Never seen him young. He gorgeous
So true. We are a beautiful people, with our lion's mane. We are the only people on this Earth that can grow these beautiful manes naturally. If you look at the hamites in Africa, they can't grow the beautiful beards and full afro's. We are a blessed and beautiful people that The Most High Yah created for himself.
Says the girl with the blue weave
@@paullandis5524 😂😂😂💀
He's always been funny! Give him a lifetime achievement award
James earl Jones used to be young?? I thought him and Morgan Freeman was born old
Leon Phelps if you want to see young Morgan Freeman. He started out on a PBS show called “Electric Company” he dressed kinda like Hendrix and played a cat called “the easy reader” diggit
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣👍
Watch the movie Claudene. Great movie plus he was young in it
Found the millennial
Was blessed and honored to see him live in a small comedy club last year in Memphis. Worked the crowd without effort!
Paul Mooney was such a gifted individual. It's pretty awesome to be able to see him on stage this early in his career and compare it to how he evolved as an artist. RIP Mr. Mooney you were an incredible talent.
Paul Mooney is a true comedy genius and legend..just like redd foxx and bernie mac..they are story tellers...when you feeling down..it feels good to hear a great story from one of the greats of comedy...😂💯
Paul looks like OJs better black half.
That one cuts deep.
You hit another home run with this vid! I love Paul Mooney ….the intellectual comic.
Damn this man aged well, this is '73. He looked almost exactly the same until well into the 90s. And then in the 2000s he got maybe 10/20 years older looking 😮
This is a real gem. Thank you for this... I love love Mooney. He’s one of the greats! I’ve never seen this before. So smart. New follower 😊
Paul was handsome...and he still is!
This was funny but the man singing at the end with the relaxer was hilarious.
@Hersey Berry Na, they were all black. They were Otis Redding's back up band. Their bass player who at the time of the plane crash was only like 18. He missed the flight and was the only survivor of the band except for one horn player who miraculously survived the crash. They later reformed the group with the relaxed hair cat, Larry Dotson as their lead singer and of course they started having success around early 77 with a song called "Shake Your Rump to the Funk" and the rest was history
The Bar-Kays.
I'm on the floor laughing,he came out of nowhere 😭😭😭
Thank you for this upload!
Whether he’s 31 or 81 he’s too funny!
I love seeing footages from the 70s.Paul Mooney❤
Absolutely brilliant👏🏾
Rest well Mr Mooney🙏🏾
Mooney pure genius before His time
On my goodness , such a beautiful well put together fellow 😍. Paul Mooney ..Timeless ❤️🌹❤️
One thing about being black. We gotta understand every black man young or old with feminine mannerisms isn't necessarily gay. Alot of our males grow up with only women at home and don't have males to mimic and learn from. One of my homies moves just like this and is hilarious but his father wasn't around and his family is mainly women. He's far from gay, he's still learning what he missed out on by not having a father around. I think we drive certain people to believe they are gay by not understanding this in our community
I think to assume someone is gay because of the way they talk or their mannerisms is dumb. It is stereotypes that ruin cultures. I have seen manly gay men, white people who dance well, tall asians, and a black president in my lifetime. The only people i discriminate against are assholes and it doesnt take long to figure out who those people are.
@@seanhart9706 I agree, but I do think it's normal and natural to make inferences from what you see. Ignorance, however, will make someone judge a book by its cover
I agree with your statement 100%.
@@nychellay ya i think it is normal and natural as well. But i think it is within us to evolve. I can see past it and so can you. One day i hope everyone can. When that day comes we can all as a human race find other things to be ignorant towards. 🤔
@@mahoganysweets67 whos statement? Lol if you want to reply to someone simply click their comment and they will know you are talking to them
05/11/2019. Love me some Paul. Plenty of Truths!😍 This was a Special time.There were rules, values and love ,pride. It's time to for a Love Revolution!
ReelBlack, Thank You For This Time Capsule Of Our Enrichment. Respect ✊🏿
a lost gem! I've never seen James Earl Jones look like that and seen him hundreds of times~!
Fine then, STILL
fine now!! Handsome
Genius!💜
Oh yeah I definitely believe he got some sugar in his tank 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
@Nostalgia Crown why the fuck u care u must b his lover go mind your business fam
Terrance Spells you sound weird “fake macho” checking for another mans manhood kinda sus.
Terrance Spells you first.
All y’all need a life. Why my opinion matters. It’s sad that ppl can live without worry about what others say about someone else. Y’all enjoy yo so called lives
Terrance Spells A hit dog hollers.
Black people looked and dressed better in the olden days it seems
I was there. And they did. Beyond.
I was a Teen in the late 60's and early 70's. It went down hill beginning in the 80's. They were classy in the 60's though. Happy I grew up in that era. The look of today is a ball of confusion.
‘Twas an era of class
And looked better naturally aside from today where everything is fake
Ridiculous statement. You can easily argue that ALL people looked and dressed better in "the olden days"...
Rip Paul mooney another legend 🙏🏾💯💪🏾
Y'all already know why I'm here!!😏
Hell yeah
Genesis A. D 😂😂🤔
💯😂😭
The Godfather of Comedy👑👑👑🐐🐐🐐
Rest in Power Paul Mooney.
Paul Mooney is comic genius, I love how he pushed the envelop. He is one of my favorite comics of all time. I am a white male and don't care the shots he takes at white people. I'm not offended in anyway. Screw cancel culture. The world is less funny now because we lost one of the best comics America had to offer
This is definitely a hidden jewel you uncovered. Thanks for the up load.
Let's tell it like it is - Paul Mooney
I've come to love that catchphrase of his.
Wow...the resemblence to Huey Newton is striking. Both from oakland with louisiana roots. Just sayin'.
No cocc
Real spill,shout out 2 The Black Panther Party,much Love 2 The Bay Area
Shouts out frm Chicago,Bless up People
Creole-Cali, now you know you in trouble.

Black and white ppl so beautiful and handsome in those times...
I think it was the food back then. Even the fast food seemed to have more substance in those days
food with no chemicals
@CreeWilly So, you don't think the quality of foods has anything to do with how people look? It does.
@CreeWilly the quality of food is a contributing factor.
Great clip of this legendary comedian! Bonus points for the snippet of the Bar-Kays at the end...@LeeTate you are correct with your historical references.
Its like hes talking and the jokes come flying out naturally. That elvis joke went right over my head first time around.
Thank you for posting this.
Look at all the natural beautiful black women in this vid ...
Dig it,thick healthy natural hair,smiling beautifully,back Then the 1's the was worth havin all They wanted was respect and U take em outside 1nce maybe twice a wk She gnna ride wit U til the wheels fall off!!

Happy birthday Paul Mooney. 77 years young today!
Looked like the Bar-Kays at the end.
It was
Larry Dotson looked terrible
he was always dope loved him then and I love him now,
This was great! I thought I had seen just about every Paul Mooney standup it was until this! Loved how all the brothers and sisters were dressed and wearing their natural hair!Also, shoutout to Larry Dodson at the end of the clip (The lead singer of The Bar Kays for all you youngsters) :-)
he was quite good looking
Was thinking the exactly same thing too
My favorite! Mr. Mooney is on Twitter giving words of wisdom. I saw him twice at BB Kings Times Square before it shut down.
Paul shaped like a t rex . Arms Shorter than everything else but I love him. This is golden. He's always tellin it like it is 😂✊
Thanks so much for sharing this Paul Mooney and the Bar-kays...wow!!! Awww the '70 good times, best times!
OMG those black goddesses and kings look so wonderful with their natural hair. God is good and right about EVERYTHING!!!
this footage is priceless.
His voice was/is amazing.🤗
Paul tickles me. Thank you for keeping these recordings in circulation.
Right ON!!!! I love Paul Mooney!!! ✊
Wow both James and Paul looking mighty youthful. Another great upload!
This is almost 50 years ago 😳
Chill....45 my birth year lol
The implication of the phrase "A -free- Man is equal to his salt" could also be meant that he was worth the amount of effort he had strained in order not to be hooked and sold to how far he went or sweated.
Wish I could "Thumbs Up" this again and again and again...
"Get hip to what you are."
Love seeing this young vibrant Paul, I'm so used to 1990s and 2000 Paul but there's such a naturalness in the whole video, the women, men and even how everyone is laughing and not offended. 8 more years after this video and I was born.
Damn he was gorgeous!
Paul Mooney was a natural. I didn't realize it that was James Earl Jones until I recognized his voice.
Whew! RUclips know how to put videos relevant to current scandals immediately!
Also, Thanks for uploading this!
He looks so young, thin, happy, and hopeful for the future!
Yeah Paul was looking sugary fasho lol
Hell yeah damn thought hey was an beautician 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Couldn’t more off base.
Seven X WAS!???
Nice looking Yes but ... hey lol it’s all love
When bros had 'fros. Where did we all go? We were flat out nicer people. This is what black folk looked like just before I graduated high school. We were all cousins. More respectful of one another before this wretched gangster / rap culture came along and compelled us to eat our own young and embrace the dog-eat-dog world.
Paul Mooney is feminine in his mannerisms. Even back then.
You saw that too? I was gonna say, if yawl wasn't sure of the rumors, this clip should do it for you...
Paul was married. To a woman named Yvonne. He actually has girlfriends.
Very effeminate
Not as feminne as the black commiedians now at least he never soldout eh espacaialy if a black man hits on a girl its considered rape in this me too moment
Bob Escabar It’s only rape if she says no and he forces her to anyway.
Thanks for the upload this is gold!
I was 11yrs during this time, the 1970s tv programs were the best years in history. This is great standup esp this Comedians first time aired
Francine Kelly hi beautiful. 83 baby here. I like everything 70s.
Is anyone else amazed at how much Paul STILL looks so much the same NOW as he did back then!!??
yeah James Earl get em he looks very young And flavorful
Rest in paradise Mr Mooney. The world is different because you were here 🏆
Thank you for the laughs
