He's on Leno tonight. I have to say he's one of my favorite comedians ever. Some say his stand ups are too clean but I love his comedy, it's funny. I've always loved the Cosby Show in the 80's, Fat Albert and his earlier stand up stuff.

On Leno right now!

Shawn I totally agree man. He's been one fo my favorites since I was a little kid. He's really under-appreciated by this generation, his standup was terrific. Blew away his sitcom stuff

Bill Cosby - Himself is one of my favorite comedy specials ever. Right up there with Louis CK, George Carlin, Sam Kinison, etc - only clean.

The original Cosby Show from the 80's is absolutely one of my favorite TV shows. And everybody i know gives me funny looks about it. But fuck them. That show was awesome. I used to watch it when i was in kindergarten, cuz it was on at 1:00 and 1:30. And throughout elementary school i always made sure to watch it whenever i didn't have school.

can't say i ever got into his standup, but i'm not familiar with a ton of it either. maybe i'll check out those vids when i'm not listening to music.

I just watched him on Leno 5 minutes ago, he was so funny. I couldn't stop laughing.

zimbloth · 03-12-2008, 11:24 PM

He is funny but I actually find his story telling is what's really captivating, even more so than funny just entertaining. I could listen to him talk for like 5 hours straight honestly.

Bill Cosby is absolutely untouchable when it comes to stand-up comedy, and "Bill Cosby: Himself" is the best stand-up routine I have ever seen. He is one of the few guys who can reduce me to actual tears and aching sides, and he does it with more frequency that anyone else. Just like Nick said, he can spin stories that are as captivating as they are funny.

No one can touch Bill. He is in a league all his own. His bit about bifocals on "Bill Cosby: 50" is one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

I love his demonic depictions of his wife in "Himself", classic. He's so descriptive, flawless story teller, epic pacing and facial expressions.

I love pudding.

* NegaTiveXero thinks Bill Cosby is hilarious as well.

The "Fat Albert's Car" story had me in stitches when I was 7 and still makes me cry with laugh-tears now...
