Can Bill Cosby give it rest and go back to eating pudding pops?

his statement on Richard pryor-sort of a backhanded compliment
“I wish that every new and young comedian would understand what Richard was about and not confuse his genius with his language usage.”

2. He's got a point!!

Pryor was profane at times.

So is Chris Rock.

Both are geniuses, though I dare say Chris Rock's use of profanity is usually more calculated...

Many comedians simply think that only crude language is funny. Ditto for excessive body function and body part jokes. Throwing in a few unrelated political jabs doesn't do much to save 'em either.
