You know what's the worst thing about that White Owl commercial? You could replace Cosby with just about anybody, and it would still be scary. The whole "we're gonna get you" is basically the tobacco industry telling it like it is.

[@huntercoleman460]

[@JTCurtisMusic]

My father worked with Bill Cosby for some promos (specifically for the show Cosby which Doug shows at 11:28). He said he was the 2nd worst celebrity he ever worked with (the first being Cybil Shepard). Cosby was completely unprofessional, full of himself, yelled at the PAs, wanted to change the copy on the spot (which he had signed off on) to do weird ideas that would have required a whole special effects team that they weren't set up for, and had apparently walked off of some of the shoots Doug is talking about leaving the entire crew with nothing to shoot (it makes me watch that New Coke commercial with a completely different mindset). To be fair, my father said the 2nd time he worked with Cosby, he had humbled himself after his son had been tragically killed, and was much more professional on set... except Cosby insisted on a room at The Plaza in New York (because he said there was construction at his house, which they later found out was a lie) and left behind a huge room service bill. God knows what happened in that hotel room in hindsight...

[@ninjabluefyre3815]

One thing that is lost in all of this, is that the Cosby Show was one of the most profitable shows in Syndication. All of the main actors were getting huge royalty checks off the reruns, and then that all dried up over night.

Welp, we can only hope that at least half of them were wise enough to invest and save some of that phat loot. Otherwise....sucks to suck.

Then when I came across the DVD it all came flooding back to me, of course I bought the DVD. I still don't care what any of these review sites say for it now, it's an underrated film also in the truly bizarre.

This is part of the reason I feel it's very important to separate the work from its creators and actors. The Cosby Show was a beautiful, wholesome and hilarious show that transformed the world in many great ways, not the least being the portrayal of a black family as successful, relatable people, people who you could look up to for more than their ability to throw a ball, sing or rap. The show helped, comforted, entertained and inspired many people even long after it finished airing, and no matter what any of the people involved have done, the show itself is still something I'm very glad we got.

I feel like Critic should do a top 11 list of Nickelodeon moments that didn't age well sometime in the future!

[@clintbrew]

Mostly with dan Schneider shows like the original Icarly and victorious after finding out about his foot fetish, plus the other stuff that came out recently

[@AMERICANNERD76]

​@clintbrew, I know, right?! I saw the Quiet on Set documentary a few days ago about that, and I honestly have lost a lot of respect for Nickelodeon after seeing all that!

[@Joshi_the_Yoshi]

The fact I only just learned that Bill Cospy created Little Bill and I really liked that show as a kid...just really upsets me.

[@J19-f3n]

Fun fact: The Main Character is based on Bill Cosby's Son.... who died........... this is real

[@naturalist4life396]

Isn't every commercial with Bill Cosby in it poorly aged?

[@burgermeowster]

As a 22 year old I don’t remember Cosby not being seen as creepy. So, now I'm starting to understand why my parent's were so upset when stuff came out.

[@berniethekiwidragon4382]

You mean you always thought there was something off about him?

[@burgermeowster]

@@berniethekiwidragon4382 I mean I don't remember a time when people didn't know he was a perv.

[@mrcritical6751]

23 in the U.K. got my own version of that. I have no idea how anybody could have ever seen Jimmy Saville as anything but a creepy old perv

[@mrcritical6751]

@@burgermeowsterthat’s how I feel about Jimmy Saville over here in the U.K. 24, didn’t grow up with his kids show in the 70’s so I just look at him and wonder how nobody could have thought he was anything but a creep

[@johnharris6655]

Let us also not forget a couple of Episodes of the Simpsons that hold up Bill Cosby as the role model for a good father.

Hey Doug, If you can stomach it, you should do a review of Leonard Part 6. The worst thing Cosby ever did that wasn’t a crime, although it probably should’ve been.

[@DjDeadpig]

Dunno why redditors are getting angry at this video. It’s funny.

Thing about the New Coke commercials was that just before the formula change, he made a commercial about how the original formula of Coke was less sweet than Pepsi. Pepsi was clobbering Coke in “The Pepsi Challenge.” The new formula of Coke was made sweeter to match the sweetness level of Pepsi in response to focus group feedback. Despite the rosey attitude in the New Coke commercials, he was supposedly pissed off at Coke and never did any other commercials for them.

[@Kylopod]

I’m of an age where I was a kid who was just old enough to remember the New Coke fiasco when it happened. My first memory of the Cosby ad on New Coke is from the late 1990s, as part of a video I was watching for a business law course. It was the first time the thought floated through my head where I was beginning to wonder about his character.

[@koneheadcokehead4981]

Another Fun Fact: On September 26, 2018, CNN reported that Cosby's first lunch at the Pennsylvania State Correctional Institute at Phoenix included a half-cup of Jell-O. For many years, Cosby was a commercial pitchman for Jell-O products.

Another Fun Fact: Bill Cosby's television debut was on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962), on August 6, 1963. Allan Sherman was the guest host and after his six-minute stand-up comedy routine ("Karate"), he was "called over" to chat.

The use of the Blackadder head desk was perfect.

[@danietchart]

[@TornadoSponge]

One commercial that may have fit well here was when he was advertising his preschool show, “Little Bill”. Just… some of the things in there are kinda hilarious scary to look back at. It’s the one where he’s like “Hey are you 5? Are you going to be 5?”

[@gentlerat]

If anyone deserves people picking on them, it’s Bill Cosby.

The "benefits of drugs" WAS meant to be ironic. There's no punchline because you're supposed to put it together yourself. "Wait, these are bad things he's listing about drugs. It's almost like these drugs have no benefits, and that's the message!" Still hilarious in hindsight that they got Cosby to be the speaker for this

[@peterkrug4124]

You know what else involving Bill Cosby hasn't aged well? The Nostalgia Critic's review of GHOST DAD: "He was clean, he was friendly, he was a good role model, and he made everybody laugh!"😦😧😨😰

[@KUNAIfever]

well atleast he said was , its more a unintentional prophecy

[@broEye1]

Cosby is a great example of the trope "Don't Shoot the Message". Very frequently he had a lot of very good things to say that were legitimately wise advice, he did demonstrate success at a time when success was far less likely for black men, and he provided the world with an incredibly wholesome story that created a style of family sitcom and an image of the black family that hadn't been seen to that point. He himself was trash, but sometimes the greatest treasures can be hidden in the filthiest cesspools. His messages were often good, his comedy was hilarious, and he had a very positive impact on our culture. While he certainly deserved punishment and condemnation for certain of his actions, that doesn't mean that other things he said and did didn't have some real worth and continued value today.
