Richard Pryor

Let me start off by saying that I am a fan of Martin's. I think that You So Crazy was one of the best stand-ups of the 90's and his sitcom was one of the best of the 90's. With that said, I was shocked when I saw Richrad Pryor Live in Concert and realized that Martin stole the joke about white people acting "funky" when there are a lot of white people around and acting friendly when a lot of black people are around. I know that a lot of comics have learned and pick-up things from Pryor, and a lot of comics have similiar topics and themese, but it was clear that Martin just took this joke and made some slight alterations. Everything from the set up to the wording (both comics said "act funky"). I think Martin is hilarious so I hope I don't find out about anymore jokes that he has stolen.
