No doubt, Pryor was good. But he's not all that removed from the stuff you see today. My point has been that today's comedians aren't less funny... it's just that the scene has changed. "The golden days" that Dean's referring to had nothing to do with people being funnier back then, it had to do with less exposure, so the people that "made it" made it a whole lot bigger because the market wasn't so saturated then as it is now.
