Los Cuatro Ojos

Bernie Mac – 1957 – 2008 – R.I.P.

Bernie Mac was one of those comedians that carried on a legacy… He was of that breed of comic that was considered to be “Raw”… The angry cussing, misogynistic, in-your-face, downright hilarious comic that said what we all wanted to say but we’re too damn wussy to do.

I don’t think there’s anyone in the pipeline to carry that torch just yet… So I think Bernie left us too soon. But here’s a tribute that takes us from Bernie’s early days… On through his heyday …And going on down the lineage to the originator…
Warning… None Of These Are Safe For Work… NSFW!!!

Thanks For The Memories Bernie Mac…

Bernie Followed Another Comic That Fit The Mold… And Died Much Too Young… Here’s Robin Harris..

And Then There Was Sam… Kinison That Is...

Even Though I Don’t Include Eddie Murphy In This Pantheon Any More… He Showed A Lot Of Promise Back In The Day…

Of Course … The Undisputed King of The Filthy Mouth Raw Comics… King Richard.

But… There Was An Even Earlier “Raw” Comic… But They Called His Work “Blue”… But He Was Redd…

I’m Sure There Was Some Sly Devil Who Inspired Redd Foxx… But We’d Have To Get Into The Old Party Albums To Talk About Them… But Suffice To Say… These Guys Brought The Raw Version Of Comedy To The Mainstream… And We’re All Less Uptight Because Of Them.

Bernie Mac Was The Latest Of This Line… R.I.P. Bernie…
