Claire's speech is iconic. I remember watching her as a little asian girl wanting to grow up to be a strong confident career woman like Claire Huxtable was, I even used to practice this scene in the mirror. It never really occurred to me that the family was black and that meant something until later seasons, this show was a staple in my house and the Monopoly money scene was even used in our Family and Consumer Science classes in school. Now that I'm an adult I still love that scene, I still laugh and cringe at Elvin's ideas, but now I have even more respect for Daryll in this episode. Him saying he better do some pretty good cooking and Cliff immediately yelling for Sondra to hurry up is something I would probably do as a parent (or a best friend not wanting my friend to let this gem slip away). Makes me sad that even now there are men like Elvin who aren't doing it because the writers room thought it would be funny

Me too. I will watch them like I watch a Hitler documentary. Entertained but Quite aware I’m watching two complete sociopaths.

Aayan Russell me too, and I frankly don't care what bad things he may have done. I'm not making excuses for them, but he did a lot of really great things for a lot of people as well.

Let's pretend that this isn't Cosby we're talking about, they're wife and husband so its very possible she has done this before and told him about it.

[@stacythomas7162]

When I was growing up, both my parents worked full-time and my mother always made dinner(when home, my brother and I set and cleared the tables, loaded the dishwasher, etc.) but every Sunday morning after church, wth my mom, he helped planned meals. a grocery list, cut coupons, went food shopping, carried the bags in, and put everything away. By cooking dinner, Mom always said she got the easier end of the bargain. LOL.

[@arnoldhenry]

I love to cook. I cook every day. My mom always tells me and I'll never forget, "Either learn how to cook or starve". I learned how to cook and love to cook so much, I was cooking while serving my country in the Navy.

Elvin was an asshole until Claire changed him. Sandra didn't change him. Claire did. Lol. We all know that. She put him in his spot and told his sorry ass off. And he was scared of her. And she was intimating in a good way. She knew how to talk to people without being mean about it. The way she would look at you and smile after she bashes you. Haha I love her. She just did it perfect.
