Letterman - Bill Cosby's Race Against George Carlin

[apocalypse123]

To be honest, when I read the title I thought Cosby was going to rant about how "foul Carlin is and I tried to put a stop to his potty-mouth ways!". I never expected that these two were friends. Even comedians on completely opposite sides of the spectrum can coincide. It kinda makes me smile.

[iamdan876]

Gearge Carlin was R rated comedy

Bill Cosby was PG 13

R stands for real!!!!!!

[witness623]

As a black man, Carlin will always be one of my favorite . Peace 2 him.

[lanebriand]

I didn't know the Late Show set had a sun roof.

[sambam2694]

Dude cus its 2011 doesn't mean white people now can use it as slang, or derogatory. Whether your 5 or 17. I say alot of shit, that is our culture. Your not apart of it, quit trying to have shit you cant have. I got a couple white friends but let one of them use the word back hand the shit out of em. My mom tought me you cant always use a word around white people. And racism is defined as ones superiority over another. Reverse racism is bull. Quit trying to be the victim. I dont feel sorry.

[carny426]

@sambam2694 Your one of the contributing facters to why the word nigger is held in such regard. No word is "bad", it's all about context. And to many people get offended by context in this day and age

[MichaelHansenFUN]

where is george carlins comedy routine?

[akeatings]

Cosby is funny, Cosby show a classic, I still laugh out loud when I watch it. Sadly George Carlin left this earth, but it is funny to hear stories like this. Makes them both seem more human.

[kielbasaman1]

Bill and George were tremendously funny, insightful influences on my life. I admire their intellect, their way of looking at things and getting you to reflect on how you think about issues, challenges. Shame on the cerebrally challenged lower life forms wallowing in their bilge and putting down these great men who make us THINK!!!

[pianomanroc]

Black people in America needa look to Bill Cosby as an inspiration!

[Visda58]

@pianomanroc Yellow people in America needa look to Bill Cosby as an inspiration!

[AbeVegaJr]

Why does everybody play the race card? Because their too brainwashed to and really ignorant..race really has become a major concern now, it plays too much effect on everything. Sadly this is contradictory I like to joke bout whites, blacks, mexicans, asians and whatever I can but I don't mean it.

[SakuraAvalonBleac25]

@HAWHYSOSERIOUS

What o.O

[nomiclas]

i've got almost all the bill cosby LP's and only "class clown" by george karlin.i love bill and george as people.their comedy was the best but they both are honest deep humans

[suhashuaushaushua]

here in Brazil, we dont hear much about Cosby. But the internet brought me one of the finests comedians i've ever seen

[IGNsucks]

@HAWHYSOSERIOUS ???.......is this some sort of failed attempt at starting a rumor.

[BassBeatsProductions]

you guys do realize that the man is wearing sunglasses.....Indoors!

[Outlawzand1]

@BassBeatsProductions So does Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder!

Maybe Cosby is blind!

[dusttracks]

funny!

[zazzhands]

I hear his appearance on the late show was paid in delicious jello pudding.

[Jurambi]

Stewie was right, old black comedian don't know when to shut up

[spirit7462]

Classic Racist!

[notanaxkiller]

Two funniest guys ever.

[trudon]

i swear you have to be high to listen to cosby

[crazyanimal187]

take the sunglasses off cosby

[midihc]

lol i wrote that shit 6 months ago in an angry rage, and i didnt think it would be such a hit. . .

[spikeri812]

assshhoollee

[guitar16]

"GET IN THE CAR!" hahahaha. i had minimized the window and all i heard was this strange alien voice yelling get in the car hahaha i almost had to do a double take when i realized it was cosby!

[Jai666666666]

Did I write does instead of THOSE, Christ, Calin would have killed me,lol1 And I laugh my own jokes too. ;)P

[Jai666666666]

People are different..., at least does that can unglue their ass from the television. ;)P

[skysands2008]

zip zop zippedy Bop

[chefawkes]

well cosby, at least you beat him at the most important race..

[RedDeadChicken]

why is there always dislikes? if you dont like it leave

[sinbysin666]

@RedDeadChicken So, if you're opinion is negative, then it doesn't matter?

[Bigatinius]

You just can't compare Employee Cosby with Freeman Carlin.

[Nanaman12345]

@BellaSwanIsASlut I love both personally.

[CtrlAltDltYou]

looks like he's in the matrix

[iamdan876]

@CtrlAltDltYou YEP LIKE FUCKING MORPHEUS!!!!!!

[UnamericanWerewolf]

Eat a pudding pop and shut up

[786baqi]

@BellaSwanIsASlut Carlin's good for early monday morning & the Cos for the late sunday evening.

[soundclik43030]

hahaaaa the Boule (skull-n-bone controlled black secret society for entertainers) sent Bill Cosby out to discredit George Carlin. Its cool. The powers that be have their own form of entertainment. lol

[Nitsudrd]

Funny guy, funny guy.

[SBFloppie]

lol @ all the people trying to compare Cosby and Carlin. Cosby took every day life, put it under a magnifying glass, and showed us just how funny and absurd it could be. Carlin's focus was more on the conventions we hold to out of habit, and of course his ever-present obsession with the way we all use words. Both men gave us brilliant comedy and changed our culture with their insights. Why hate on either?

[Atheistcat2004]

I think this would have been better if he had said George Carlin was sitting in the car looking at him with an unamused face.

I love those two, would have been awesome if they did a sit-down with a few other great comedians for TV, not to be comedic, but to chat about comedy and the history.

[BAMFPiccPimp]

@Atheistcat2004 why not have George be the one who is loading the trunk, and making sure Cosby doesn't get out fast enough.

[bitethis47]

they both great...but i prefer carlin's humor

[bitethis47]

they both great...but i prefer carlin

[Flea817]

I honestly prefer George Carlin, and not because Cosby's black, but because I like Carlin better. On a slightly related note, I prefer Richard Pryor and old-school Chris Rock if you want to classify black comedians based on the fact that they're black.

[co0ki3M0NstAr]

lmao a 28 yr old guy run 4 me ahahahaha funny stuff

[firefx99]

Cosby is not funny because he's "Black"...what a stupid ass thing to say. You have to be FUNNY and have WIT and great TIMING to be a comedian....period. You have some sorry ass issue with NOT liking Cosby because both he and Carlin use their intelligence in their routines to hit us with a barrage of non stop thought provoking material. Your post tells us you can ONLY enjoy/ appreciate Carlin more...because he's White. Grow up....these guys are comedians! they make us laugh...VERY hard!

[necessaryevil101]

i would have loved to see carlin and cosby do a standup together

[spinlessbastard1]

@necessaryevil101 it wouldn't have worked ,two differant types of comedy ,both great comedians but in there own differant way :)

[deadwhitesuffering]

@traviskearney True!  But above Carlin? Not even close!

[nicolemonrue]

he should have played Ray Charles in "Ray"

[MrDavearama]

@BeerEnthusiast -Your logic is fucked up. Stop while you're ahead jack ball.

[MrDavearama]

@BeerEnthusiast -Yeah, he's so smart he turned into a angry old turd, even getting fired from his Vegas show, & dying like a bum.

[psyckojoe]

"i said WHAT?! he said yeah"

[reesee02]

@Angel4ever44 lol

[Runningtail]

hey, look! its david letterperson!

[ShingoEX]

I love you, William H. Cosby PHD...never stop being awesome :)

[fattony123082]

ZIP ZOP ZIPPPITY ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[jennylover456]

if only bill cosby was a little younger but oh well he's still awesome

[DutchKalhoun]

Cosby kills me when he rambles. Still love him though.

[Pwnzistor]

mmm pudding pops

[MrArmyEngineer]

Fuck Cosby. -from Cincinnati.

[nowwithmorekick]

I have a sudden urge for some pudding pops.

[CodyGazelle]

why is cosby wearing sunglasses IN DOORS? WTF? That's hella gay...love the man..but anyone wearing sun glasses in doors needs to just not do tV appearances...

[mswoolysheep123]

@CodyGazelle I believe he had a mild stroke a while back and it made it where one of his eyes doesn't line up and focus right. He looks a little awkward without the glasses now.

[LennonsApple]

A legend talking about a legend. Two of the greatest comedians to ever grace this earth with their presence.

[Destro088]

the way he talks is just humorous in it self, i often imitate it by myself or around friends always funny

[akaquiksilver]

and the poodin pop... BAAAAHAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAA

[crazydawg2000]

y'see comedy is like jello puddin'

[rathergrumpy]

little TINY hehhrrss.

[bb1134]

That is one bad ass suit he's wearing.

[cpnkd7]

I used to like Bill Cosby until I saw him on a quiz show where he was the host, there was a white gentleman on the show that was a little slow and Cosby relentlessly mocked the man in a nasty vindictive way - ever since that I have disliked him.

[Odin50Cal]

@cpnkd7

Can you tell me what year/episode cosby did that?

Or a link?

[cpnkd7]

@Odin50Cal

I'm afraid I can't. It was well over 20 years ago, I just remember being shocked at how he was treating a contestant that was obviously a little slow. I'll do some searching for it but I don't hold out much hope of finding it - but I will try.

[Odin50Cal]

@cpnkd7

Thanks I appreciate it.

[cpnkd7]

@Odin50Cal I'm pretty certain that the show was 'You bet Your Life' which would make it nearer to 20 years ago rather than well over 20 years ago. I remember Cosby being to the right and elevated above a couple, so it has to be the aforementioned show. I've been using hundreds of different search terms but nothing. I recall that the contestant had a bald head, but 20 year memories are a little hazy for me, so who knows. I am sure that Cosby was a nasty SOB, that bit I remember vividly.

[yankeepunk3000]

LOL I loved george carlin and i love Bill Cosby, two comedians that affected my life in different ways. in how I saw everyday life and how i percieved to be better then my surroundings. both men were life changing to millions and forever will be a big part of my young childhood

[reesee02]

he needs to sit his old ass down somewhere

[KrfNYC2]

Instead of saying that they forgot to close the trunk, I thought he was going to say that he got in the car, the driver turned around...and it was George.

[clownbaton]

Bill Cosby is a prime example of a wonderful human being. We even got his shows here in Australia. Effin loved the Brown Hornet when I was a kid. Fat Albert too. Black youth should be looking to him for inspiration instead of todays degenerate rap stars.

[Chronologger]

@clownbaton

Personally I don't think it's fair to lump rappers of today into the category of, as you put it "degenerates".

Using Immortal Technique as an example, he independently publishes all of his own music and has set up orphanages in Iraq using his own income, which I think is enough to prove that there is decency within the rap community, but it's just a bit hard to find though all of the mainstream corporate money making rap, and we have nobody but ourselves to blame for their success.

[clownbaton]

@Chronologger

I agree with you on the point that the public fuels the arseholes and yes, there are outliers in every group so we will see some rappers doing great things but on the whole they are degenerate clowns who need to be shot for perverting the youth and their handlers need to be shot aswell.

[ronniepage]

carlin and cosby, two of the greatest comedians of all time

[tub214hi]

bill cosby is an out-dated, overrated, unfunny, racist wash-up. i actually don't mind the racist part because i think everyone's racist to a certain extent. he just isn't funny and never really was. he was a black star when there weren't many black stars, so black people LOVED him. then it slowly became apparent that he was talentless and black people knew it, but couldn't just start backtracking. they loved him when he became a star so they had to keep loving him when they realized he sucked.

[SRM30]

@tub214hi i agree. never thought he was funny.

[biopsychosocio]

He's about as funny as being diagnosed with herpes.

[ronniepage]

@biopsychosocio annnnnd that joke sucked.

[jcali619]

He was wearing sunglasses because he had eye surgery cataract

[jford90]

maybe im just a moral-less youth of today, but most of m fav comedians are vulgar motherfuckers. We live in a profane world so I've got no problems with profane comedy- all the greats use profanity because thats who they are- theyre not going to censor themselves for the sake of people's sensibilities- but the profanity ISNT the joke, thats just how they talk. The idea of vulgarity is outdated and ridiculous anyway, lighten the fuck up. RIP Richard Pryor, greatest stand up comedian to date.

[ahmetatmaca]

"Thats right.. mel.. I always use a razor on my face" oh his bit is brilliant!

[BraunBrothers]

Today's comedians can't go a line without using profanity. It's so disappointing. Cosby is a legend simply because of his clean jokes and good morals.

It's funny to see that the comments that are anti-Cosby usually involve profanity; ironic, isn't it?

[DieOrBlink]

@BraunBrothers Whats wrong with profanity? And what exactly are "good morals"?

[ChrisDrakeMusician]

I love bill :)

[eimb1999]

Bill Cosby... by far the best comedian ever to live on the planet!

[b24harman]

Cosby has never made me laugh. He sucks ass.

[MrKemboo]

@b24harman Don't watch him?

[Wutwut1n1]

i'd love to be stoned with the entire planet all the time

[louswire]

I've been listening to, and enjoying Cosby since the 60's... He's still my favorite.

[slavenaway3434]

Alexjones is a dip shit respect the legends.

[alexjonesdid911]

@slavenaway3434 They're both racist retards.

[alexjonesdid911]

Cosby and Carlin both suck.

[KingBizarre]

@alexjonesdid911

you obviously have never heard Carlin's material. Great name you got there. pffffffffft.

[GeneralMcNuggs]

@alexjonesdid911 you can go die faggot

[alexjonesdid911]

@GeneralMcNuggs Go fist Carlin you necrophiliac.

[Ausaini17]

Anyone notice the weird effect the camera has on his suit?

[tasteflavored]

@Ausaini17 its b/c the suit has a very small repeating pattern, does that on camera b/c your never gettin a continuous image

[Catcherintherye11111]

George Carlin and Bill Cosby are both comedic legends and amazing people who change the history of funny. now shut up, you all sound like 12 yr old girls arguing over a damn barbie

[misterbizzones]

jesus, carlin fanboys are almost as insufferably pretentious as tool fans. he and cosby were friends, not rivals, and you don't have to shit on one to appreciate the other. seriously, who the fuck dislikes bill cosby?

[Punk13405]

@misterbizzones plus a person who truly understands Carlin or Tool would know that they wouldn't be pissed because someone took a joke from someone else and made it their own. That's such a pointless thing to really get mad about

[matttylove2]

@misterbizzones you fucking suck. Eat my ass you fool

[misterbizzones]

@matttylove2 well put.

[eyebal]

@misterbizzones

Bill Cosby? DISLIKE

[ShadowScope]

@misterbizzones lol. What's wrong with Tool fans?

[traviskearney]

Cosby is a living legend, a genius, a humanitarian, and a morally correct father figure to an entire generation of Americans.

[HoLOLcaust]

@traviskearney And a thieving niggerfaggot!

[traviskearney]

@HoLOLcaust Classy.

[caseyface3]

@traviskearney he is a pompous ass. he cheated on his wife and is lecturing to people...fuck that crazy fool.

[traviskearney]

@caseyface3 Tell him not me.

[inevitablehatred]

@traviskearney He is a pretentious dickhead who wheres sunglasses in doors.

[SmileyGarrish]

@inevitablehatred Light sensitivity.

[inevitablehatred]

@SmileyGarrish Well that explains that. He still is very over-rated.

[TheNecropolis20]

@inevitablehatred hey lighten up with the talk this old fart bill cosby might be getting ready to die in a few months or so kicking the bucket. who cares if the guy was not the best or funniest comedian but he did make me laugh maybe other comedians like george carlin gave more laughs. bill cosby was just a regular old fasioned comedian but george carlin was a new age philosopher that made us realise how nessesary the bull shit was that held the world together like glue.

[inevitablehatred]

@TheNecropolis20 George Carlin sucked too.

[TheKatoom]

@inevitablehatred George Carlin wasn't a comedian. It was social commentary, guised as comedy so the unthinking masses might actually listen, and learn something, even if by mistake.

[heyyyyyynow]

@inevitablehatred Care to elaborate?

[inevitablehatred]

@heyyyyyynow On which comment?

[Jasgent]

@traviskearney excellent comment so true and accurate on all points

[Assdafflabaff]

@traviskearney Carlin is God.

[Xarai]

@traviskearney george carlin kicks his ass total pwnage

[queenrocks77]

Cosby is a dipshit

[TheBlackStar999]

"Well ya know, one time George and I were competing at trying to get out of the theatre faster. And he always beat me to it, ya see? So you know George likes his "Toledo Window Box", or whatever the kids call it, so I put a little chloroform in his bong to slow him down a little bit, ya know? So anyway, here I go out of the theatre, runnin down the slope as fast as I can, and get away in seven seconds. Zip zop zoobity bop!"

[debi5058]

Bill Cosby doesn't hold a candle to the comedic genius George Carlin. RIP George. Eat your puddin' Cosby

[jesusisaklingon]

Cosby should have retired WAY before this...When he had at least 1/2 a mind

[aitiva83]

ZzzZZzZZZZzzzZ...

[Blastomath]

i honestly thought the title meant a race towards death

[megamarsvin]

Love Cosby, love Carlin.. Comedy giants both of them!

[brambers]

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Cos

[stlchucko]

Maybe if Cosby kept that twin supercharged Shelby Cobra, he could get outta there quicker than Carlin. lmao

[leoconvoy]

@stlchucko u got a point,lmao

[DrMasaaki]

"They forgot to close the trunk ". I think i bugged my neighbours i laughed so hard.

[Vrikk]

This man is, without doubt, one of the top five comedians of all time.

[torchwoody58]

@Vrikk Who are the other four?

[joshpool78]

@Vrikk not doubting that he's good, but there are at least 10 better.

[Sailor231]

@Vrikk one of the top five human beings of all time. What a Being.

[Vrikk]

@mrtundra45 Shut the fuck up.

[mrtundra45]

@Vrikk answer the question!

[shideshide]

Talk about misleading titles.

[torm0]

@shideshide yeah I thought it was going to be about Carlin's use of the word 'nigger'

[faffaflunkie]

Anyone think Bill had something to drink before the show?

[Black101Warri0r]

@PatriciaCookFind1 You DUMB CUNT BITCH!!!! U RACIST TRASH WOREBAG!!! HOW MANY DICKS DO YOU SHOVE DOWN UR RACIST THROAT THAAT MAKES THAT SHIT "CUM" OUT UR MOUTH????

[eragon2121]

"My best leaving" lol

[RottenStrings]

At 3:57 Cosby takes a nap...

[DeiTunes]

He looks like Ray Charles on this to me---lol!

[xbionicgirlx]

Bill u the best :)

[Szafirowooka21]

Carlin jest (mimo, że nie żyje) najzajebistrzym gościem jaki żył na ziemi. A co takiego zrobił Kozbi? Nic szczególnego poza zdziadzieniem na starość. FUCK YOU, I LOVE CARLIN!!

[xbionicgirlx]

@Szafirowooka21 lepiej idź do szkoły i się po ucz .. cosby zrobił bardzo dużo dla ludzi, najpierw sobie poczytaj za nim napiszesz totalną głupote 

[ltrizzle84]

Rest in piece Bill, God bless you.

[execk2]

@ltrizzle84 - Uhhh...you know that......never mind!

[Clemdoe3]

@ltrizzle84

uhhuh

[MorbidGuardian]

@ltrizzle84 Um... Bill Cosby isn't dead...

[psychokong64]

is the audience really laughing?

[MajorJakobs]

@psychokong64 um yeah, there is no laugh track on the late show.

[Szafirowooka21]

@psychokong64 no, it`s fake like all letterman bullshit show.

[MrHabsolo]

I saw Ray Charles...but where's Bill?

[irreversiblyhuman]

IF you find Carlin's jokes racist, no matter what race you are, you're a dickhead.

He was anything but a sexist / homophobe / racist...

we all miss George dearly
