Bill Cosby, Himself

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

Description

One of America's most popular comedians, Bill Cosby treats his fans to a funny, satirical and heart-warming concert at Toronto's Hamilton Place Performing Arts Center. His material ranges from marriage and the unending trials of parenthood, to the side-splitting antics of the very young, and a hilarious encounter with a dentist's drill and needle. Insightful and witty, this highly entertaining film is a rare cinematic treat, filled with all the spontaneity and electricity that only a live performance can provide.

Still Funny.......2007-08-31

The topics of parenthood, going to the dentist and over-imbibing are timeless subjects and Bill Cosby's performance is just as funny now as it was when this was first produced. I remembered this show as I heard my daughter repeating "come here," to her 2-year-old. I ordered it and hoped that my memory was correct and that she would find it as funny as I did. We both cried we laughed so hard.

If you need a good belly laugh (or a little perspective on parenting), this is the ticket.

A True Comedian.......2007-07-12

Today comics like to use alot of foul langauge you know F this and F that. But there is one true comedian who I've never heard swear and that's Bill Cosby. This DVD is great for the whole family. The first time I saw it was with my parents. It's a instant classic. And what's great is everything he talks about is true. Two skits I highly recommende are the drinking and dentist skits you'll find yourself on the floor in seconds because you can't breathe from laughing so much!

The best medicine to anything.......2007-06-30

It's really very simple. I bought this on laser disc about 18 years ago. It's a rosseta stone in my family. We all know it by heart, can qoute almost any line, and still we watch it. Everytime we watch it it's the same routine where we have to stop a few times because someone's belly is aching already from laughing, or someone's bladder is close to bursting. Get this and you will have the perfect medicine to anything. No need for prozac anymore.
