Eddie Murphy’s Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor impression clip from Eddie Murphy’s classic Raw video are so funny they are unreal. If you haven’t seen this, you have to. It is almost the perfect comedy bit because Eddie’s impersonation of Bill Cosby is so spot on (as is his impersonation of Richard Pryor), but it also is Eddie’s explanation of the cultural and generational differences between two of the most iconic African American comedians of our time. And of all time, actually. The bit is about how Bill Cosby called Eddie Murphy to tell him that he’s too dirty. Bill’s
