"So I Walked Into The Star Wars Bar & Richard Pryor Was Working"... Wait, What?


Richard Pryor was one of the greatest comics of his generation. Hell, he is one of the greatest comedians of all time. But his filthy mouth and uncompromising attitude towards his material often cost him career opportunities that might have made him even more famous then he ever became. Take the Richard Pryor Show as am example. He signed a contract back in 1977 to make a 10 episode 1st season, but the show only filmed four episodes due to conflicts between Pryor and the network over content. One of the skits that made it through is a completly hysterical ad-libbed clip that features Pryor as the bartender at the Star Wars Bar. The bar is frequented by the usual suspects of the Star Wars movies, and there is a good reason for that. They actual got to use certain costumes and masks from the movie itself. God I love me some Pryor. Enjoy the clip...

Who You Gonna Call... The Galatic Empire!!!

Check out these two videos from the acting troupe Improv Everywhere. These guys perform reenactments of different scenes from movies and other things in public places. I saw the Ghostbuster one a few months back, but they just released a Star Wars NYC Subway clip that is great... Thanks Mr. Jeffrey Bond for the tip. What do you want to see these guys do next??? Leave some comments on what you guys think below.

Azaz Ansari Is In Everything... Thankfully So



If you don't know who Azaz Ansari is, you must not be watching films lately. This guy appears to be in every movie. He was in last years popular Funny People with Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen, and in I Love You Man with Jason Segal and Paul Rudd. You may also know him from Human Giant sketch comedy fame. Often playing small parts (for now) he steals the show with his dry delivery. But teh other night I happened to catch his standup on Comedy Central, and I was on the floor crying my eyes out. He is hialrious. Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening aired last week and is a must see. It is avalable for purchase on DVD as of 1/19. You will love this guys, I promise. Here is the Amazon link for it:
