Bill Cosby/YMMV

""How long can you tread water? Heh heh heh..""
 * Funny Moments:
 * The entire "To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With" routine from the album of the same name. It's a 22-minute routine on nighttime hijinks involving an undersized bed (on which he and Russell keep fighting over sides), a grouchy father, tall tales about who broke the bed... until finally, the father comes in with the belt to spank them both. Realizing that neither boy wants to sleep, he forces them both to stand up on the floor until morning. The skit ends with, "I don't want you touching me on my side of the floor, either."
 * Also, what has popularly become known as "the Noah routine". Actually three short skits, riffing off what would actually happen were Joe Random Citizen one day asked by the Lord to build an ark (for one thing, his neighbor would be really cranky when it blocked his driveway...) Please, if you're currently blank-faced, go find this thing on the Net right now.


 * The dentist skit is another favorite among fans, for its exaggerated portrayal of going to a dentist. He makes some priceless facial expressions as well.
 * The infamous "It's True, It's True!" routine, wherein Bill relates the time he was in Japan and decided to see for himself whether the rumors about those "wonderful baths" were true...but his wife walked in on him.
 * The routine on "Go-Karts," which features a multitude of great sound effects, as well as a Call Back to an earlier routine about Cryin' Charlie, and a Brick Joke involving the cops.
 * The fernet branca routine, wherein bitter liquor saves the day after he accidentally orders barbecued sparrow at an Italian restaurant while trying to impress his wife.
 * Every sketch involving Fat Albert.
 * Funny Aneurysm Moment: On at least two occasions on Bill Cosby Himself, he refers to Ennis' probable death by a member of his own family. The first time it was mentioned was the possible end result of a sibling rivalry with his four sisters, "He's 11 now; I don't think he'll live to be 12." The second, by Bill's own hand, as instructed by his overworked, exasperated wife. "I want you to go upstairs... and kill the boy." Tragically, in 1997, Ennis died in an attempted robbery while helping a stranger change a tire. Reality took an otherwise touching scene of a loving father proudly discussing the trials and tribulations that come with raising a son, and made it very difficult to watch as the boy he's describing will be lost to violence in 15 years' time.
 * Weird Al Effect: Cosby's retelling of himself listening to "The Chicken Heart" has become far better known than the original sketch.
