Bill Cosby: Himself

A couple of years before "The Cosby Show" debuted and rejuvenated his career, Bill Cosby did a filmed concert, reviewing his opinions on drugs, alcohol, dentists, natural childbirth, child rearing and what really makes good parents.

In short, just being the Cos.

"Bill Cosby, Himself" is one of the only films I have laughed at so hard that I had to lie down for minutes afterwards. It's almost like this concert film was just a continuous string of highlights. But it works so well because the Cos sees so much of the truth in families, from both the parent's and the child's points of view. Everything rings true, and therefore, the humor reveals itself naturally.

Aside from the drug and alcohol routines, "Bill Cosby, Himself" is a perfect film for the entire family. Every member can see a little bit of themselves in one routine or another. No wonder Bill Cosby remains the great comedian he is today: he's still a family man.

Ten stars. Perfect.

Thanks, Cos.

Though the previous comment says that "he performs all over the United States", and the video box says that it was filmed in Toronto, the entire stand-up routine was actually filmed at Hamilton Place Theatre in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

The show is hilarious, and is single-handedly responsible for turning me into a Bill Cosby fan.

Bill Cosby does it again with this hilarious video that will keep you laughing from beginning to end. He talks about drinking, going to the dentist, childbirth, marriage, raising children among other things. The funniest thing about it is everything he says is so true. I think anyone can appreciate this, it is good clean comedy. He will keep you laughing with his jokes, his tine of voice, facial expressions and body movement. I especially like when he talks about "Natural child birth", "Brain damage", and "The same thing happens every night". It may start out a little slow at first but keep watching it, you'll be glad you did. It will definitely keep you laughing!

This concert is by far the best Bill Cosby I have ever seen. Fell out of my chair while holding my sides several times laughing. Granted this concert is much funnier if you are a parent as you can absolutely relate to many of the experiences. And if you have ever been in the dentist's chair you will love his bit about getting dental work done. In the first part of the concert he goes a bit out of character about using profanity (the cocaine bit--he ask's "but what if your an A**hole") however it does seem to fit the scenario so it really is not that bad. Parents may wish to fast forward through that part due to the nature of what is being talked about. Still my favorite work of Bill Cosby---right up there with Noah!

A hilarious movie that STILL has me laughing as hard as the first time! Anyone who has kids or even got drunk will sit back in approval having similar experienced. My kids have watched this and found it Hilarious! I'm so glad that they enjoyed watching it! Appropriate for children to view (he only uses mild profanity three times). I also hope to obtain a copy of this as well. A Must See!!! A Classic Comedy to watch time and time again! Bill Cosby at his best! It's like fine wine, it gets better with age. If you have never seen this hilarious movie, then what are you waiting for? Rent it! Borrow it from your local library! Or borrow it from a friend who does own it. GET IT AND WATCH IT TODAY, NOW!!!
