How good was Bernie Mac as a comedian and person? Would he be top 10?

Never really watched his standups, but I'm about to do that now. Was in the GOAT status and respected in the likes of Katt Williams, Chappelle, and Patrice O'Neal? Or was he flabby n sick like Steve Harvey, Cedric, Wanda?

I never really watched tv as a kid or teen. :manny: And a lot of times, you watch what your parents watched. Chappelle show I only watched because of my uncle.

If Bernie died in 08, that means I was just a teenager.
Sometimes I need to remember not everyone grew up like me. I was watching standup as a KID. I was just a child, but I knew how big Eddie was in the 80s. I remember Martin on House Party, hosting Def Comedy Jam and getting his own show. I remember Bernie on Def Comedy Jam. Even though I didn’t watch his stuff, I even remember how big Andrew Dice Clay was as well. Richard Pryor was obviously before my time, but I remember him too and knew he was a legend. Red Foxx. All the legends. Of course Bill Cosby, but Cosby Show was still going on when I was a kid, so he was still very relevant.

Only person funnier than Bernie in existence was Mr Redd Foxx, after Bernie is Charlie Murphy

All 3 gone and the world has lost its sense of humour 😌
