Ok, I'm totally stumped, so maybe you guys can help me out. On Ill Communication (Beastie Boys) there's a sample:

"****, if this gonna be that kinda party, I'm ah stick my dick in the mashed potatoes..."

One of my friends asked about it and I figured some simple googling would solve this, but I can't seem to pin down who it is- Redd Foxx, Richard Pryor, Robin Harris??? Anybody know that quote?

    Nevermind, I was wrong.

    I have no idea, but it gives me something to do at work now.

    B-Boys Makin' With The Freak Freak... track 3 Ill Communication- unless they re-used it.

    There is always the possibility that it's not a sample... but knowing them, I doubt it.

    Go nuts with the google, I found a lot of people asking, but no answers.

    Its not a sample from anyone famous. That's why there is no credit in the liner notes. Its a recording that the Beastie Boys made of some guy telling a joke with the famous "dick in the mashed potatoes" as the punchline. Nobody seems to remember how the original joke goes.
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

    You know, maybe it's better if we never know. The real joke can't be as funny as I'd want it to be after all the searching.
