February 19, 20179 yr I am watching CNN's "History of Comedy" and it hit me thinking of my favorite comedy album. Mine is Richard Pryor's "Bicentennial" album. Yours ?
February 19, 20179 yr George Carlin - Toledo Window Box Richard Pryor - Bicentennial ...... George Carlin - Occupation: Foole Franklyn Ajaye - Don't Smoke Dope, Fry Your Hair! Steve Martin - Let's Get Small
February 20, 20179 yr Lot of good ones mentioned, but I'll add: "Comedian" by Eddie Murphy "The 2,000-year-old Man" by Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks "Rant In E-Minor" by Bill Hicks "The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart" by, yeah, one of the greats And even though The Cos is pretty toxic these days, his album "To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With" is pretty darned great.
February 20, 20179 yr First one I ever heard was Steve Martin "Let's get small" and it was really good. The one that to this day I can still recite word for word is Eddie Murphy:Comedian From "Shoe Throwing Momma" to Aunt Bunny saying "Goonie Goo Goo" I love it.

I still remember taking that tape to summer camp all those years ago and watching the looks on people's faces as they heard it. I spent whole weeks at 4H and Woodmen camp doing Eddie Murphy voices and got many laughs.

I have buddies to this day that we still greet each other with either "Goonie Goo Goo" or calling each other "Gus" because of that tape.

February 20, 20179 yr Not sure how the content has held up, but as a kid in the 70's the first two Cheech & Chong albums from '71 & '72 used to crack me up pretty good. A quick search tells me that they've put out a handful more over the years, but I've never heard them. They had a novelty niche routine all their own that made them stand out from ordinary stand ups.

Oh yeah. "The Big Bambu." Great record.
February 20, 20179 yr Richard Pryor "Wanted: Live In Concert" Cheech & Chong's "Los Cochinos" would be my #2 followed by "Here And Now" by Richard Pryor.
February 20, 20179 yr Cosby's "Russell", Newhart's Buttondown Mind, almost anything by Pryor, Carlin's Class Clown, Radio Dinner by National Lampoon.

I watch old Newhart bit online. Always makes me laugh.
