The Cosby Show S1 Ep16 - Jitterbug Break

[TheBrooklynUSA]

CAN SOME 1 PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY PHYLICIA RASHAD, LISA BONET AND BLAIRE UNDERWOOD HAVEN'T AGED NOT 2 SECONDS SINCE THE 80'S.

[bsbncandey]

The laday in red is so classy! Love the way she moves, so elegantly across the floor. Now this is good dancing, notice how everyone is fully clothed.

[AShelf]

today's dances can't hold a candle to the original lindy hoppers! those were the real beasts!

[esquire2K11]

Judith Jameson killed it!!!!

[mpm2010lbc]

When I was a kid in the 80s, I sometimes felt like Claire and Cliff Huxtable, were like my mom and dad telling me what to do. Whenever they told their TV kids something, it felt as if they were also telling me through the TV. Learned a lot from them, believe it or not.

[thepolodon21]

old school met new school now its all old school now

[MOONK2010]

when cliff runs to the couch and jumps on it. i cry laughing. he is hilarious.

[lala78outgoing]

how weezy would say i lovvvvveeee it ;D

[jnfrmo]

I think the cosby show is one of the funnies show ever. I smile during every episode...like, the whole episode, and laugh out loud plenty!

[blkchk]

'Marie' is Judith Jamison, who was one of the world's leading dancers and star of the Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre. She just retired as Director. She has danced with many of the world's great dancers including Mikhail Baryshnikov.

[tlmcq80]

[Msprettybigdeal]

LOL..ahhhh...good times...hilarious.

[daybyday19814]

ahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaa!!­!!!!!!! he picked clair up nd almost droped her, i had to rewind that part like 10 times!!!! ahahahahahahahaha!!! HILARIOUS!!!!

[BlueberryCutie16]

no matter how many times i watch this, that scene where claire jumps in cliff's arms & then he swings her across the the couch & he JUMPS on that couch will always make me laugh!

[bsbncandey]

@BlueberryCutie16 Something tells me that was on impulse. lol.

[BlueberryCutie16]

@bsbncandey

ahahah im thinking so too XD

[mzmudcat]

Nobody is in shape anymore because nobody dances like this nowadays! : P

[aquataerra]

@mzmudcat Got that right! :D

[schiamazzo88]

@mzmudcat Sure, they do! I swing dance at least two nights a week! You just have to look for it...I'm sure it's happening in your town, too. :)

[jaydiarae]

lol The Huxtables were something special back in the day. Loved them! They don't make shows like this these days.

[Aprostime123]

judith jameson, blair underwood dang

[BlueberryCutie16]

@Aprostime123

blair underwood is FOINE

[feetler]

This made me smile.

[SuperPackersfan04]

I love that when Cliff just about goes ass over tea kettle with Claire

[PetiteCoquette]

this is actually my all-time fave episode. It's just me makes me so happy!

[camgi2009]

Denise had some cute boyfriends. She's with Blair in this episode, and the guy Martin that she marries later on is also cute. :)

[kachoo2135]

One of my favorites. That and the lip psynching episodes.

[kruzer27]

i wish i could dance like that

[need2bme]

Hilaaarious!!!!! Bill Cosby Is a Nut!!!!!

[matrixphijr]

I love how he can fake being knocked off his feet by Claire without actually falling or dropping her, and still make it look real. That man is one of the greatest comedians who ever lived.

[Mj4Eternity58]

Is It Me Or Does The Guy In The Blue Shirt/Mc Hammer Pants, Look Like  A.B. Sure From Far Away o_O?

[Bouncibabii]

[FreddyKOPinhead]

DAMN LOOK AT COSBY BREAKING IT DOWN!

[jazzy7543]

9 people got mad because Cliff didn't give them any pudding pops :P

[mrlogic4u]

Typical black family.

Hahahahahahahahaha.

[MrMbell2]

The Cosby Show had its Variety Hour moments that would make a Gay man go crazy with all the little dance numbers and songs you'd hear from time time.

[secondhouseontheleft]

Cliff jumping on couches was so much better than when Tom Cruise did it, ha.

[hwolovely1203]

@secondhouseontheleft Bill Cosby had more style and grace. Tom Cruise was just crazy,

[SiaMaat]

Yes, The Cosby Show makes me smile!. I love Judith Jamison! And I think that's Blair Underwood in the back next to Denise!

[spark14ful]

It's very fun!!

[Bonzibuddy4ever2]

@LAYMARIExBADxHeLL

"oh lets just toss in a couple of white kids they wont be able to tell the difference"

[LAYMARIExBADxHeLL]

@Bonzibuddy4ever2 WTF I AINT MEAN IT LIKE DAT SO WTF HOMIE U TAKING DA SHIT 2FAR O_O

[tosha517]

@Bonzibuddy4ever2 The children were not white, they are fair skinned, if you have not noticed, the grandfather is very light, in those days it would not have been but a couple generations before that there were slave masters mixing the race, therefore, it is possible that the complexion comes from an earlier generation. Ignorance comes in all forms, to be upset by something like the color of skin is simple minded. Please use your thoughts for productive behavior, thanks. not rude, just honest.

[Bonzibuddy4ever2]

@tosha517 lol

[MOONK2010]

i love the cosby show ;

im also happy claire was looking at cliff when he started to run on the couch because it didn't look like he was stopping whether she moved or not. = )

this is what you call true entertainment.

[cutie101464]

[jazzy7543]

[mjcupcake430]

[guccikat6]

[FID3LCASHFLOW]

Wow. I met the man who played someone in this episode here. He came to my school (Bowie High School) and owns his own business in computer.

[bostonbruinsfever]

What jazz song is playing please?

[1ladyteefan]

LMAO, they had fun!!

[Ltron9]

Wholesome TV!!!! Not like this shit we got today!!!!!!

[gangstaboo62]

@Ltron9 Word!!! I agree. Now all we see is titties & ass. No wonder the country is headed downhill...we lost our morals a while ago.

[Allina09]

What was the song that Denise and her friends played?

[DLSmith7476]

@Allina09 "I Feel for You" By Chaka Kahn, at least thats what it sounded like to me.

[2dimplzs]

OMG! Look at the young, yummy, BLAIR UNDERWOOD!!!!!

[CharmRat97]

lol cliff staggers to carry claire

[keishaloveschelsea]

I love how every generation thinks their generation is the best at something.

[1984Janis1]

[coolwafferman]

That jazz music sounds good. I wish I knew the name of that song and the artist.

[bostonbruinsfever]

If you find out the name of the song please let me know.

[vpvictoria]

The Cosby Show was and still is one the best shows of the 80's. As always, this is one the classic moments of Cliff and Claire They are one of the most memorable couples on TV in my opinion. .

[letashae]

oh wow...lol...i bet he Huxtable house was the place to be lol. I miss the eighties..=)

[naml1984]

did you guys see the young blair underwood standing next to denise huxtable, lol.

[gusskimo]

Bill dances like my dad. LOL!

[chocolateonion76]

bill you are funny

[ixeLgirl901]

what is the music in this scene? it's really good

[mamashekere]

That's Judith Jamison, and it looked like she was doing the bop to me.

[LAX324]

Isn't the lady in red doing chicago style stepping? If so she's good.

[varietychick]

i'd take the jitterbug over breakdancing anyday

[diwize]

lol. i noe ryte. shot i cnt even do breakdancing. jitterbug luks easy

[laron214]

classic episode

[celestialnubian]

Greatest sitcom ever.

[brucekirk89]

pyhlisha ryshad or how ever you spell the mom is a fine woman,she still looks good today at like 60+

[KABC100]

omg for a secong i thought he was gonna drop her

[halrenrice]

um hey is that blair underwood?

[BlueGreen211997]

hilarious dancing!

[rugr2002]

So in 30 years, will we be teaching our grandkids how to break dance?

[katy123555]

exactly

[gsparkway324]

Bill Cosby is probably one of the very few black guys who can;t dance

[ddraven]

what about levar burton

[jonwiley]

If you're talking about this clip, Cosby was clowning for the show. He probably could dance better than that if he wanted to.

[FMZContralto]

What a great clip! They need to bring this show back.

[oreoprincess39]

the is like everywhere what do you mean

[FMZContralto]

New productions. The Huxtables now. Not reruns.

[smartie204]

or maybe just a reunion.

[12khfan44]

the break dancing dude with the bush was my dad

[sporknfoon2]

Judith Jameson!

ILoveHer.

And I Never Noticed That Was Blair Underwood!

This Was On Of My Fav. Episodes!

[pinoy0978234]

oh man what ever happend to lisa bonet....=( gosh i miss the 80's so much

[Mrbaltimore2001]

Dam you see Lisa Bonet ass at the end

[kitc79]

I missed these days :)

[playdude813]

I seen a dude the other day wearin that outfit.. homeboy had on dancing with the older lady

[soulfulbohemian]

LOL. Someone needs to tell that dude it's not 1985.

[playdude813]

lol I know right...

[praywithme123]

The guy standing next to Denise(Lisa Bonet) is Blair Underwood,wow he doesn't look the same

[1980sman]

i like the breakdancing they did right before this scene. wish i could find that song.

[blugtar87]

The woman in the red (Judith Jameson) was given a BET Honors the other day. She is so beautiful!

[Queen4adisa2c]

Brings back the days when we'd have family dinners and the music would crank up, uncle and auntie had a lil too much to drink and the dancing would begin....

We'd be on the steps doubled over...

No matter, parents and relatives always look funny dancing.... I miss this show

[redrocketb]

This is not jitterbug, thank god. Jitterbugging was a derisive name for people who couldn't dance well (they looked like drunks with the DTs) and were largely white. Cliff and Claire are doing something close to lindy.

[jladylancer11]

i love this show

[whaleym]

I'm glad Claire moved! Cliff would have jumped on her head! lol This is cute and funny :D

[cavstony]

Great times

[ojewel]

wish they were still on . Love this jitter bug but love hand jivin more.

[ecodyx]

look at that big ass tacky dress, haha.

[charice22]

omg, how cute are cliff and claire?!?

[LisaWhelchelFan69]

Shake that ass Clair!

[ErsatzWino]

The great Judith Jamison, ladies and gentlemen. What a wonderful clip. I love the shot of Tempestt Bledsoe cracking up on the stairs. That scene must've been so much fun to be a part of.

[michaellohrweb]

classic!

[crazyravensymone]

If I were on the Cosby Show with the cast, I would NEVER be able to finish a scene because Bill Cosby is just too funny I couldn't keep a strait face!

[Queen0fCrunnkk]

Lmaoo I know Hes halirous!

[bostonbruinsfever]

excellent clip

[Velvet4U]

Yeah, but doesn't every family in every household do the exact same thing all the time. Everyday, non-stop dancing.

[starbucksbear]

FANTASTIC!!!

[PrettyOxymoron]

LOL...I'm over here ROFL...this episode is still funny as hell to me..

[jillhbaudhaan]

Doesn't the Cosby Show just make you smile?

[charice22]

yes yes yes and hell yes

[MrsHaywood1]

LMAO If we would have dropped her LAWD have mercy now that was funny

[xpander2k]

don't we all.

[sherrybarnhard]

Wish I could dance like that

[agenttorpor]

Nice of Chico Debarge to show up and wow us with his nimble dance moves, complete with cheap red British Knights.

[BSHS2009]

My favorite show

[wilmoh]

Chicago Steppin

[christyj1978]

i always wished my family was that close and fun!

[theman1999]

The dancers are Judith Jamison (Marie) and Donald McKayle (Ralph).

[toyboy84t]

LOL @ Cliff almost miss catching Claire.

[rmbb10]

I love this scene.

[msharpe7]

Is that Blair Underwood in the background?

[leniqueca]

Yeah that's him with Denise.

[aim20062010]

one of the best black sitcoms to date. He taught so much black history it was crazy

[wendellgee1985]

Far and away, the best part of this episode is not in this clip: the short segment right before it where Cliff goes to get the door and mocks the kids' break-dancing. That is an absolute riot.

[junemamma]

You are absolutely right, I love that part!

[wendellgee1985]

I love where he slams the door on them, puts his hands to his face like a mime, then opens the door again.

[chompychomps]

It just hit me....this was the black Brady Bunch!

[MiNNi325]

1 OF THE FUNNi3ST

[lovelystars07]

my dances just like that

[lovelystars07]

shout out to judith jaminson the woman in red

ailven ailey baby

[starbucksbear]

This is, without a doubt, one of the best and most memorable scenes in the show's history... it NEVER fails to make me laugh hysterically, and feel SO nostalgic for the series...

I LOVE IT!

[collegeri]

i miss this show-and this era. and i'm only 30-is that weird??

[rockyblac]

hell no, its not weird! I'll be 30 in a couple months. This is our childhood! We should miss it!! It was good and wholesome!

[collegeri]

it was good-everything was better. perhaps the goonies will be on tv this weekend!

[NTK2A]

Me too. 30 in six weeks. Same as Keshia Knight Pulliam (Rudy) whose 30th birthday was this month (April 9).

[dannyblastman]

the dancers name is gerard cooper and he was a member of the poppalots

[JessGill227]

Does anyone know the woman in red? That's Judith Jamison, an American Modern Dancer and Choreographer and Alvin Ailey's artistic director for almost 20 years!

[beautifulwonder616]

Wow, thanks! I wondered how she was such a gifted dancer!

[yvesbeneche3493]

thats blair underwood with Denise in the beginning of the clip!

[beautifulwonder616]

Yes, it is! :)

[caspol69]

classic. love Cliff and Claire.

[beautifulwonder616]

LOL @ Cliff and Clair!

[supergirl4u2luv]

Wow I love this, great vid!

[swedish13]

its season 1 shes not there yet

[Not2Shaby]

Does my man have the Jordan 1's on. Classic joints.

[MondoBeno]

Cliff never yells at the kids in this show. That's not normal.

[tone1981]

cliff has raised his voice at the kids. but also his methods of discipline were rather abstract.
