It would've been funny if after Clair's rant, Denise went, "Cool." and ran off with the money LMAO. Of course she didn't in tv world, but in real-life a lot of teens would've did just that.
When you get a minute check out my Video channel called:
"Kato's Music Room" @ vodpod dot com/katosmusicroom
There are a LOT of inspirational messages from Bishop T.D Jakes, Bishop Noel Jones, Dr. Jamal Bryant, as well as complete episodes of my favorite TV shows like "TV One's Unsung", "I hate Chris" etc....You'll also find videos of my favorite music artist's like Marvin Gaye, Enchantment, Al Green & Gospel Music !
It's not really Denise's money. Her parents gave her the money. She doesn't have a job. She shouldn't be so disrespectful. Her parents are truly good parents, you don't see that too much these days.
The "Clair look" that starts at 0:44 is so perfected by Ms Rashad that i need to make a mask of that so when I have kids, I will put it on and let them see what "Chiiild...!" look like!
@BrandisLee That's was one of the reasons why she got the part. Because of those eyes. Denise, yeah it may had been her monery, her account, and in her name, true enough, but she was still their child. She still could not get vehicle without her parents permission. They weren't being hard, they were trying to teach her responsibility. Bracelet? Water Bed? Dead Fish? lol
@keleic , I don't think she minds the kids expressing there views or opinions. she is just not fond of how they do it. Denise could have made her feelings known with out blowing her top and being disrespectfull.
Parent or Not, no one likes being disrespected or talked to in that way.
She wasn't thinking when she said it, and because she got so upset when they said they would not give her the permission to take the money out, she didn't stop to think that it didn't mean they wouldn't help her get her car. And she didn't stop to think about the responsibilities that comes with having a car like they pointed out here. What made her think they were gonna let her blow ALL of her money on a car, that comes with other payments to take care of it as well? Didn't blame Clair lol.
This has got to be my fav episode or comedy segment. I wonder how much of Cliff's car description was scripted. I personally think it was all what Bill Cosby threw in because you cant script material that funny in my opinion.
Love how Claire straightens out Denise. I have done that to my kids and my parents did it to me.
@retrofann1 . a lot of the early episodes the jokes and things Bill Cosby did came off his comedy records he did when he did his comedy shows in his early days. back in the 60's and 70's.
Denise is partly right it is her money. BUT Claire made a good point to , most kids don't think about what they are doing they forget most parents have been there done that and know from experience what is Right and Wrong. Denise is just jumping into something with out thinking about it. there is more to then Just buying a car.
@Astraldragon1 Um, I know it's just a show, but last time I checked, Denise never had a job. That $1600 she had was probably just saved up allowance, so it's probably actually her parent's money.
@mpope409 I can't see her always putting her allowance in there. But remember when the show first started, she was like what, 15? She probably also made money doing babysitting jobs, and other things that kids can make money from.
i'm pretty sure i had this exact same conversation with my parents... i wanted to spend my 1400 dollars and they of course knew better and reminded me it would cost a lot more just to maintain and insure and gas it up. haha. i feel ya denise!!!
denise*okay I guess I didn't think about those things* cliff*well see you mentioned america little ways back there,and thats what america is all about I guess uhh to own a car and have no money at all and uhh just drive around bill's are paid left and right and you just say well hey i'am in america
Ew that look that Clair gave Denise at about 1:10. I KNOW that look. Lol, my Mom gave it to me sometimes, and boy I felt like a puppy with my tail tucked between my legs. LOL
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
sumtimes i wonder, what would; coulda been of her career if she did the 'norm' of what 'they' wanted? peep when she kisses 'clare' and do the 'yeah, yeah, yeah' strut... star is born... lol - but she then get's into love/romance/scandal/pregnancy - had she done what bill asked,or what society longed 4??? i fux w/her fight, struggle, desire and command to live 4 self...
she meant tht denise was being her normal hasty self and tht the reason why denise didnt really think the car situation through was bcuz she knew tht if she messed up her parents would be there to bail her out..also she felt denise was being disrespectful around 0:35-0:45 so thts y clair sed the next time u use tht tone ur goin to take watever is in tht bank account and discover america..meaning tht denise could move out of the house
The Greatest thing about Bill Cosby (+ Mrs. Huxtable=my mom) is that he reminds me of my dad, how I want to be as a dad, and how every father should be for his kid.
Not a stupid oaf like television today. No wonder kids have no role models, cause they have no Cosby's
In many ways, the ''Discover America" speech was the breakthrough moment of TCS- the sitcom that gave us parents being PARENTS (i.e. disciplinarians) to the kids instead of their friends- and it was what American audiences were waiting for- putting mouthy, precocious children in line at long last, just like in real life. Wonderful!!
I started watching the Cosby Show from like season 4 or 5 so I never saw these eps before today. Now I know why America and the world fell in love with the Huxtables and esp. with Claire. She is sooooo sexy when she gets angry. "Discover America" LOL
thats true. I don't think I've ever seen cliff really mad. Whenever he was angry, he would say something funny and it seemed the tension was always gone. Its great because clair and cliff seem to balance each other out. Clair never had a problem with disciplining the children.
way to go Clair YESS!! tell it like it is. just love how Clair sounds off on the kids when they act up.
Like most kids they think they know better then the parent not Realizeing Their Parents for the most part have been there , done that when they were young.
