Sunday 9/6/09 - JDPNYY's Question of the day:
Is Bill Cosby funny?
If I had 3 wishes... One of my wishes would be to make a select few of you Pirates Fans.
Cosby can be, yes.
But I think what's funnier are Bill Cosby impersonations (provided they're done well).
Funnier than Billy Crystal.

Compared to the average person, yes.
No question. completely funny
Once upon a time....
....
Yes. Bill Cosby: Himself was on a few weeks ago. I hadn't seen it in years and I laughed just as hard as the first time I saw it.

Just a small aside.
I had a different question lined up for today, but as I thought about Billy Crystal's journey from funny to not funny (in my and others opinions) I found that he's morphed into this boring story teller (as Bill Cosby has always been - again, in my opinion). I have always found Cosby to be a complete bore and totally unfunny.
Anyway, I'll use the original question of today at another time.
Carry on with your answer about Bill.

I loved The Cosby Show.
Tough to answer this one -- just the mention of his name disgusts me ever since he was accused by 13 different women of drugging them and taking advantage of them...blech.
Fat Albert and Picture Pages were fine, but Cosby seems to think mugging for the camera is HILARIOUS. Oh, but it's not.
Not funny.

He'll tell you he's still funny.

He used to be funny. As with Crystal, I haven't seen him lately.

not sure i've ever seen anything he's been in.
Bring tea for the Tillerman; Steak for the son; Wine for the woman who made the rain come; Seagulls sing your hearts away; 'Cause while the sinners sin, the children play ...
i hate him. never liked him.
Chris Nolan did it again. Inception is the best movie of the year so far.
Yes, he can be. Not so much on the sitcom as a Huxtable, but in Bill Cosby:Himself I thought he was.
is it still 1984?
Might be the first time JDP's given away the answer so early in a QoD.
One finger extended.
Great observation. This is the 2nd time. I answered early when someone was guest hosting.

Bill Cosby was funny a long time ago - back in the 60's. His routines about he and his brother Russell, their parents (and "parenting" back then ------- "What? Hire some stranger to babysit my kids?? I'd rather leave them alone"), his great "Chickenheart" routine, etc.
He WAS very funny.
Not so much after that.
Doesn't mean he's not someone who has done good in his life, and tries to give back.
.Of all the things in life I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
Yes, he is very funny and I loved his show from the 90's. The only time he isn't is when he decides to get too serious about social issues which can be very controversial and even though I agree most of the time with his positions he sometimes can go too far.
Tough to answer this one -- just the mention of his name disgusts me ever since he was accused by 13 different women of drugging them and taking advantage of them...blech.Wow that's the first that I've heard of that.

The Cosby Show was great. Ever see the eps where he's so funny that even the other actors start cracking up?

I loved him in the 60's. The making fun of parents stuff, Fat Albert, etc.
I didn't own or watch TV in the '70's, except Yankee baseball.
I was out of the country in the '80's.
I came back in '94, and he wasn't funny in the 90's or 2000's.
I never saw his TV show, or nor have I watched any other TV show with a laugh track (except John Larroquette Show, I liked that one).
George Carlin, now HE was funny, may he rest in peace.

His standup "Bill Cosby Himself" is hilarious. Never liked his show. Overall I think he's alright.

Is that the one that shows up on HBO every now and then? Yeah, that one is very, very funny.
The one thing I always appreciated about Cosby is always kept it clean.... which is a rarity these days.
Those who can — do. Those who can’t — criticize.
He mumbles too much to be understood. So no.

I wish I owned his brownstone in Brooklyn.
Like Crystal, he used to be funny. As he aged, not so much anymore.
It's the Lord, Noah. Riiiiiight.

Bill Cosby is a very funny fellow!
Thanks for the memories, George. You made the Yankees what they are today... Champions!
What's a cubit?

racist..
Cosby jumped the shark with the pudding pop commercials. Pudding's just not that funny a word, no matter how hard you try to mispronounce it.
One finger extended.
Carlin was a genius but even with him I thought near his end he became a cranky old man who was mad at the world and stopped being funny. There's a fine line between a humorous rant that's on topic and, well, just being miserable about life.
Those who can — do. Those who can’t — criticize.
That's liberals for ya.
Thanks for the memories, George. You made the Yankees what they are today... Champions!
Agreed. Almost like he has something in his mouth. I'm surprised you don't understand him.
....
No, he's not funny. I really don't appreciate his style of humor.

Yes...
Oh yeah, things are always better when Randi's around.
He's the David Ortiz of comedy... for some reason, that managed to stay off the shows like Extra and shows like Nancy Grace..if it was another comedian, forget it -- for some reason, he gets some kind of pass..
I think he's somewhat powerful in Hollywood. I know Terrence Howard accused him of blacklisting him for several years because he had a disagreement with him on the Cosby set...didn't work for a few years.
He also used to make negative comments about the dirty humor used by guys like Howard Stern -- as some sort of moral police, yet it comes out later he cheated on his beloved Camille for years and had an illegitimate child...
yet he seems to skate on by for some reason...
Rita Cosby. That's some funny shyte.
I go with Maynerd and muggs. Noah was a great bit, and Cosby was pretty funny back then. Of course, that was something like 45 years ago.
Muggs, I don't give extra points for staying clean. Funny is what matters. IMHO, Richard Pryor stood head and shoulders above everyone else - but it sure wasn't by staying clean.

Richar Pryor sure burned brightly in the comedy industry.

please tell me you can blame this on drinking.
clean is overrated -- Eddie Murphy in his day was awesome and I've loved Chris Rock since before he was really famous -- before the SNL days.
