i remember eddie murphy talking in RAW about how when he was in his prime, bill cosby called him up and chewed him out for the lewd nature of his standup act.
transcript follows.
“You cannot say filth, flarn, filth,
flarn, filth in front of people.”
And I say, “I never said
no ‘filth, flarn, filth’.”
“You know what I’m talking about.
“I can’t use the type of language
that you use,
“but you know what I mean when
I say ‘filth, flarn, flarn, flarn, filth’.”
I say, “I never said ‘filth, flarn, filth’.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.
I’m offended you called. Fuck you.”
That’s when Bill got pissed and said:
“That’s what I’m talking about.
You cannot say ‘fuck’…
“…in front of people.”
And I got mad.
Because he thought
that was my whole act.
Like I just walked out on-stage
and cursed and left.
I manage to stick in some
jokes between the curses.
You couldn’t give no curse show.
Walk out, say, “Hey, Felt Forum,
“motherfucker, dick, pussy,
snot and shit. Good night.
“Good night. Suck my dick.
Bye-bye.”
I was pissed off. I was so mad
I called Richard Pryor’s house up.
I said, “Yo, Richard,
Bill Cosby just called me up
“and told me I was too dirty.”
Richard said:
“The next time motherfucker call,
tell him I said, ‘Suck my dick.’
“I don’t give a fuck.
“Whatever the fuck make
the people laugh, say that shit.”
He said, “Do people laugh
when you say what you say?”
I said, “Yes.”
“Do you get paid?” I said, “Yes.”
He said, “Well, tell Bill I said:
‘Have a Coke and a smile
and shut the fuck up.’
“The Jell-O pudding-eating
motherfucker.”
