Product Description

From Amazon.com

After I Spy and before The Cosby Show, Bill Cosby left his own inimitable mark on the arena of stand-up comedy in this live concert showcasing his down-to-earth observations on the rigors and joys of family life. Cosby, using only a microphone and a chair, discusses his take on raising kids and the illogical nature of children and the futility of trying to argue with a child that in the end may be smarter than you. Notable highlights include Cosby's ruminations on the meaning of the all-purpose phrase "I don't know" to kids, and Cosby describing the effect raising children has on his wife Camille's mental state and the pitch of her voice. Containing the basis for the humor of his long-running situation comedy, Bill Cosby: Himself is a polished, occasionally insightful, and frequently hilarious night of comedy from one of the longtime masters of the form. --Robert Lane

5.0 out of 5 stars Cosby comes alive on stage and screen, Feb 24 2004
By 
andy8047 (Nokomis,Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bill Cosby, Himself (VHS Tape)
Silly Bill Cosby comes alive on stage in Ontario,Canada and on movie screens almost everywhere. The opening theme song is entitled IT WAS A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME. First,Cosby talks about drugs. Normally,he's no trashmouth but he does mention once and only once the vulgar slang word for "anus","rectum","idiot" and "jerk". Then he talks about dentistry,the subject that opens the soundtrack album which is entitled THE DENTIST. "Dentists tell you not to pick your teeth with any sharp metal object.",he tells his audience. Then,there's what's entitled on the album,NATURAL CHILDBIRTH. Cosby tells about pregnancy,the joyous aftermath and what his wife Camille went through when she was pregnant with the Cosbys' first child. "You just had a lizard!",Bill tells Camille after the birth. The audience breaks into uproarious laughter. Then there's Cosby's definition of BRAIN DAMAGE,which is disobedience and immediate forgetfulness. A child is told by an adult not to do something then when the adult turns his/her back and turns it around again,the child is caught violating. The adult asks the child,"If you were told not to do it,then why did you do it?" The child answers,"I don't know!" That subject is carried over into what's entitled KILL THE BOY. The boy is Cosby's now-deceased son Ennis. Bill comes home from a tennis game and Camille tells him,"I want you to go upstairs and kill that boy!". Bill tells Ennis,"Your mother sent me here to kill you!" What motivated this? Ennis gave himself a haircut. Bill asked Ennis,"What happened to your hair?". Ennis said "I don't know!". Then Bill asks,"Was your head with you all day today?". Ennis said "Ah-hah!". Then Bill asks,"Did you cut your hair off?". Ennis replies,"Ah-hah!". "Why didn't you tell me that then?". Ennis replied,"I don't know!". Another funny moment in the Cosby household was when Camille wanted Bill to cook breakfast for the couple's five children. Bill reluctantly complied with Camille's order after being threatened with a shotgun and a bucket of ice water. So he proceeds with a frying pan and,as he tells in an angry tone,the damn bacon,sausage and the("you have to be careful with")eggs. The Cosbys' youngest child,then-age 4,spotted chocolate cake. She asked her father if she could have some of the cake. The other four children decide to have the same thing after seeing the 4-year-old eating it. That relieved Bill from the duty of cooking. They were all happy eating the cake and listening to music until an angry Camille came along and shouted,"WHERE DID YOU GET CHOCOLATE CAKE FROM?". Bill replied,"THEY ASKED FOR IT!". One of the children then said,"We asked for eggs and milk and Dad made us eat this!". Bill then tells about the nightly routine in the Cosby household entitled SAME THING HAPPENS EVERY NIGHT. After dinner Camille tells the children,"Go upstairs,take off all your clothes,get into the shower,use the soap and shampoo,rinse yourselves off,dry yourselves off,get into your pajamas and go to sleep. Now if you do as I say,there will be no beatings!" However,there's a scuffle between Ennis and his two younger siblings. The youngest one feared she'd be blinded for life because shampoo has run from her hair into her eyes. This scenario has been re-enacted in the premiere episode of NBC's "The Cosby Show" in 1984. Angry Camille then grabs a yardstick and according to Bill,"holds it like a Samaurai warrior". Camille announces,"THE BEATINGS WILL NOW BEGIN!". Then Bill talks about grandparenthood,entitled THE GRANDPARENTS. Bill of course is referring to his mom and dad and Camille's mom and dad. Bill's mother was an authority on pigsties. All she had to do was find a shoe lying upside down in a room and to her that room was the filthiest she had ever seen,according to Bill. Bill's dad would fart and shift the blame to "invisible animals". The soundtrack album is on the Motown label. A must for all Bill Cosby fans.

This review is from: Bill Cosby, Himself (VHS Tape)
A classic. While I'm very conservative about buying VHS/DVD's, this one is worth it. If you like Bill Cosby, this is a performance you can watch again and again.

His humor regarding raising his children is especially entertaining.
