Especially his stand up stuff!
(plenty avalible on youtube if you havent seen it)
If you like Eddie Murphys old stand up stuff, you'll love Pryors (undoubtably Murphys biggest influence)

I think its near the end of "Live on the Sunset Strip", where he starts making fun of how he managed to set himself on fire and end up in hospital for ages
