The COLI ain't got love for Bill Cosby's stand-up game?

[mr x]

I hardly see his name pop up in any stand up discussion around here. It's always Eddie, Richard, Dave, Chris and even Redd when discussing the GOAT black comics. Bill is in this class.

Ya'll don't like like storytelling stand-up? Ya'll can't get behind someone that doesn't swear? Is bill too corny for ya'll?...Let it be known then!

Bill Cosby is a very funny fellow

First Bill Cosby special in 30 years hits Comedy Central

Friday is Bill Cosby's 76th birthday, so it's only appropriate that he give his fans a gift. Thankfully it's not a sweater.

For the first time in 30 years, the comedian and groundbreaking actor will star in a TV concert special. Far From Finished hits Comedy Central on Nov. 24.

Cosby's reason for returning? "Because... funny is funny," Cosby said in a statement.

In 1983, Cosby performed Bill Cosby: Himself, a routine that covered the banality of family life with topics like weekends, dentists and raising children. In the now-classic stand-up (and sit-down) act, Cosby performed mostly while seated on a chair in the middle of a bare stage.

The act laid the groundwork for what he's best known for, the Emmy-winning The Cosby Show, which premiered on NBC in 1984 and starred the Huxtable family, an upper-middle-class African-American family in Brooklyn.

Far From Finished is compiled from Cosby's stand-up material from earlier this summer and will be directed by Robert Townsend.

Can't wait to watch the new routine? Cosby's 1983 classic is available on YouTube (Part 1, part 2). Need to be convinced it's worth it? Read a 30th anniversary tribute of the performance from comedians like Jerry Seinfeld, Larry Wilmore and Ray Romano at GQ.

And for even more Cosby action, check out the sweater tournament he's hosting on his website. Vote for your favorite Cosby sweater and you'll be entered to win one of his books. (And check out all 131 of them over at Buzzfeed.) The winner will be announced Monday on the Today show.

The man is a without question comedy legend. It's just his late in life politics that makes most of us feel like . So we don't really enjoy dapping him up while he rips apart things that many in our generation cherish.

Himself is classic. Used to watch that special all the time when I was a kid.

Listening to his bit from a show in the mid 70's about getting drunk hit home the first time I saw it on YT because I was like "Holy shyt, he just perfectly described me when I was 21-22. "



"I'm going out because I deserve to go out and I'm going to get drunk because I deserve to get drunk. NOW GET OUT OF MY WAY! "

Eddie Murphy has ruined Cosby's voice for me, I can't even take him seriously anymore.

"I would like to talk to yooooooooou about your show."

In all fairness, Eddie did a spot on Richard Pryor too.

"Tell Bill to have a coke, smile, and shut the fukk up." I've used that quote for a few situations in my life ever since I heard it.
