Robin Williams was the only comedian whose profanity never bothered me - it was too stream-of-consciousness. But the others all seem to do it for the shock factor or to seem “hip,” - doesn’t work for me.
Both very funny guys, but Pryor’s response to Cosby’s comments on Pryor’s vocabulary was “Tell Bill I said ‘Have a Coke and a smile and shut the &#$@ up.’”

I’m so impressed by comics with limited vocabulary.

Quoting Bill Cosby:, “If yo have to swear to make it funny, it’s not funny.”

RCMinor is so right. I feel the same way @Celecca, I had an art teacher who once worked with Robin Williams, I think they did a show together.
