You spelled Red Foxx wrong, but Prior is his equal for sure. Prior flat out delivered. You should You Tube some of Foxx's stand up stuff. Hilarious, like crying hilarious. He wasn't always Fred Sanford.

It depends on context. I’m guessing a lot of you guys are referring to stand up comedians, and most of the "great" ones like Richard Pryor and George Carlin are dead. Perhaps in 20 years, the current crop of stand ups will be seen as classics, I don’t know. I’ve personally never been a huge fan of the genre.

In the context of movies, though, Richard Pryor flat out sucked. There can be no dispute on this point. Stir Crazy was decent, but everything else was total Sucksville. He had a worse batting average than Nicholas Cage.

I certainly won’t argue that Sandler has a 1.000 batting average himself, far from it, but all I can say is that I’ve laughed a lot harder during my 10+ viewings of Happy Gilmore than I ever did during Caddyshack.

Back in the day when Eddie Murphy was on top of his game both his stand up act & movies were outstanding.
