Let's talk brutal comedy moments that changed everything. Richard Pryor setting himself on fire then turning it into comedy gold - that's savage commitment right there.

Don Rickles destroying Frank Sinatra on stage and making the mobster's favorite son laugh instead of killing him.

Andy Kaufman getting slapped by Jerry Lawler on Letterman - blurred reality so hard people still debate if it was real.

Sacha Baron Cohen making those southern ladies clutch their pearls at that dinner party in Borat. Pure destruction.
