I know that Richard Pryor was one of the screenwriters for the movie, but does anyone know what specific lines or situations can be attributed to him? I'm just curious.

in the trivia and another source it is said that the Mongo character was his creation

if you've never seen an elephant ski, then you've never been on acid.

IIRC Richard came up the line "Mongo only pawn in game of life."

In an interview, Brooks stated that he asked Pryor what they could get away with as far as racial humor. So it sounds like he also served as an advisor.

In the documentary "Richard Pryor: Omit the Logic", Mel Brooks said Pryor wrote most of the black jokes.
