vs.

#10 Richard Pryor

Discuss and provide evidence (video, pics, audio, etc).

Voting ends Oct 16 in the am.

There are few, if any, peeps living or dead that are/were cooler than Richard Pryor. His standup or live concerts were HILARIOUS.

DeNiro is classic and one of the best actors of our time and cool, but my vote goes for a true 'cool' guy.

This is a harsh matchup. Pryor was an amazing dude. He spent time talking real truth about his life, even the really hurtful and embarrassing shit, and he somehow turned it all inside out and made that cool.

DeNiro was pretty great, but there's a big long stretch between Taxi Driver and Analyze This.

Not to mentioning capping it off with appearing in two movies with Gay Fokker, Barbra Streisand, and a completely neutered and disatrously unfunny Dustin "The Nose" Hoffman.

Yup

DeNiro is all about that stupid New York personality and the mole.

But dude was never on fire like Pryor.

Props to the walking inferno.
