Can someone post some funny Pryor schtick?  I know he is about setting a
mood and not a one liner guy like Stephen Wright, but please...why is he
so damb funny?

For the record, funny people/shows:

Seinfeld
Office Space
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Monty Python
Kids in the Hall
Chris Rock
Robert Schimmel

PS:  Margaret Cho, Robert Klien and Eddie Izzard stink.
