Richard Pryor takes on the most terrifying invention of mankind in Nukes, a bold and brilliantly funny set that only he could deliver. With his signature mix of brutal honesty, streetwise insight, and electric stage presence, Pryor dissects the absurdity of nuclear weapons — from the political madness behind them to the very real fear they strike in everyday people.
Pryor doesn’t just make jokes about nukes — he exposes the insanity of a world that builds machines capable of erasing cities, and does it with a smirk and a punchline. Whether he’s imagining how world leaders talk behind closed doors or riffing on survival plans that make no sense, every moment is packed with sharp social commentary and belly laughs.
This episode is classic Pryor: fearless, funny, and ahead of his time. Nukes reminds us that no topic is too dark when it’s in the hands of a true comedy legend.
