Oiled up Bill Cosby: something nobody wanted at the time, and even less so now

[@typacsk]

Yep, that joke aged like a plate of sushi.

[@nthgth]

Meh, I still think it's funny. I don't think oil was involved in any of that, so it's still a total random non-sequitor which is why it was funny in the first place

[@allwrathnograpes]

​@@nthgthBill Cosby was the spokesman for Jell-O in like the 70's

[@nthgth]

@@allwrathnograpes Alright, so not quite a non sequitur. I just knew he had that "Jell-O pudding pop" catchphrase from Family Guy or something

[@MinuteMemoirs]

Wow, Homestar wasn't kidding. A quick bit of googling suggests that, if the average penny is 360 cubic millimeters, then a hundred million pennies packed at 80% efficiency would only add up to 11887.7 gallons, while an olympic swimming pool holds a startling 660,430 gallons, over 55 times that amount. So what can we conclude from all of this? Homestar is stupidly smart and I have too much time on my hands.

Did he oil himself up in any of those... encounters?

[@snipelfritz]

Oh man, the Cosby references in this...twas a more innocent time.

[@1andonlyzara]

snipelfritz Remember when the worst thing he ever did was endorse New Coke? Those were good days.

[@cheatsenabled1662]

Indeed they were innocent times! Times when women hadn't falsely accused him of something terrible for personal gain.

[@CaptainLumpyDog]

CheatsEnabled Falsely? Yeah, sure. Ok. If you have evidence, feel free to provide them with the court, abomination.

[@cheatsenabled1662]

You cannot combat the matriarchy. They have their claws deep in the legal system to ensure that they can abuse it whenever possible. "Evidence" does not matter. You must listen and believe to these poor women who were definitely, totally abused. And if you don't, you're a misogynist. Because not automatically believing every claim from a woman is sexism, didn't you know? Misandry is what is really going on in the world. Not misogyny.

Dear Land Lubber, why not fill it with heavy cream, some salt, and eighteen thousand pounds of strawberries? If you get enough kids in the neighborhood to come over and churn it up by swimming in it, and then introduce a shark, you're in for some fine old shark-schoolkid-strawberry ripple by January. Eat it with that snowshovel gathering dust in the garage. Or eat it with Pom Pom. He likes ice cream. I think.
