Bill Cosby: Himself

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!

For the longest time, I was afraid to rate any stand-up comedy performances here for the simple fact that I didn't want my opinions to become less valid based solely upon changing societal views on acceptible comedy. However, Bill Cosby is a classic example of a great comedian, placed alone in his element (a stage), commanding the audience with his natural wit and charm. Let us not forget that Bill is probably one of the funniest men on the planet. I've seen "Bill Cosby: Himself" at least a dozen times, and each time I laugh until it hurts. He never seems to lose the edge, his jokes never seem trite, and you never become immune to Bill's humor. If only every comedian was as funny as he is.

Absolutely hilarious, you won't be able to stop laughing. Bill Cosby is a comic genius! I grew up with this movie, and it's one that will live on in my family forever. Brilliant! Whether he is talking about dentists, parenthood, or his own childhood, Mr. Cosby draws us into his stories, and enthralls us with his tales of "brain-damaged people." His stories touch our hearts and remind us of the good times of our own childhood, adolescence, parenthood, and life in general. This is definitely a show that everyone should see, if not own for their own collections. I've shown it to countless people, and not a single one has not liked it. Usually we go around quoting it for a few days. There is so much goodness in Mr. Cosby's humor, and it's something I think that we need more of in the world today.

This is a wonderful and timeless film that shows Bill Cosby doing what he does best--his wonderful stand-up routine (though, oddly, he's sitting during the presentation). I saw it back when it first came out and years later saw it again and the film STILL made me laugh hysterically. The only difference is that now I am joined by my family who also laughs along with it.

Unlike some of Cosby's early routines, he doesn't do the characters he's famous for (such as his routine with his brother, Russell, or Fat Albert or the like). Instead, Cosby just talks...talks about life...fatherhood...kids...or whatever seems to be on his mind. Amazingly, he does this all so effortlessly and without using filthy language or humor that you can't let the kids hear. Of this kind of humor, it just doesn't get any better.

Oh, and since watching this film, I have learned that the best breakfast for my kids IS chocolate cake and have served it to them many times. So there.

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!
