this segment was elsewhere on here and i left a comment, now cant find the comment or the video...but this doesnt seem to be reality...because the majority of my friends dont go to college, they work a trader joes get married have 2 daughters...and join the marines and then get out of the service...ect...
THIS WHOLE SCENE IS BULLSHIT REGULAR PEOPLE DONT GO TO COLLEGE THEY GO TO TRADE SCHOOL AND GET A JOB ONE GUY JOINED THE MARINED, WORKS AT TRADER JOES AND HAS A WIFE AND 2 KIDS SO REGULAR PEOPLE MEANS NO COLLEGE NO PROBLEM AND I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA!!!
THIS IS THE DUMBEST SCENE YOU HAVE EVER SEEN IN YOUR LIFE. I saw this elsewhere on here, youtube, and left a comment BULLSHIT!!! the majority of people I knew graduated high school, went to a trade school, got married, had a kid, bought a house NO PROBLEM NO COLLEGE!!! as a matter of fact ONE GUY GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL, joined the marines, got out, got married, has 2 daughters, WORKS FOR TRADER JOES, NO COLLEGE NO TRADE SCHOOL NO PROBLEM AND THIS IS CALIFORNIA. the scene is just parent propaganda
Who exactly are the 12 people who disliked this video? It's the cleverest and most sublime 4 1/2 minutes of economics we're likely to see on television.
@honeegrrl No they do not, @honeegrrl. I come from another era, I guess. I can tell you, if my own Dad came to me like Cliff Huxtable did, I would be 2,000 percent better off than I am now. All any of us needs is someone who cares more about us than we care for ourselves. AB
@andreblake2 Yes that's true, I'm glad my parents cared, boy did they cared. I remember I tried to pull something like on my parents, I told him I wasn't going to college. And all they said was okay that's fine, so when do you register for college, lol.
@honeegrrl That's pretty much Old School, @honeegrrl. The goal of any parent is (a) send kid(s) to college, and (b) make sure kid(s) don't go to jail. Education is the one thing that no one can EVER take from you. They can repo your car, your boat, your private jet, your McMansion. They one thing they can NEVER take away from you is your KNOWLEDGE. AB
One of my favortie Cosby Show moments ever."Theo that's the dumbest thing I ever heard in my life...no wonder you get D's in everything" Bill Cosby took an emotional moment and turned it into comedic genius
@scubarodriguez He only said that to attempt to make cliff feel sorry for him, and it didn't work, lol. I told my parents I wasn't going to college and tried that crap with my parents and all they said was uh huh, when is registration? LOL!
@honeegrrl It is extremely far from the truth. No taxes, free food, free medical care, free retirement. Regular people have no idea how spoiled they are.
@sleepeeg3 Well where in the hell are those regular people because I know regular people who are NOT getting free food, who pay taxes, and and in order to get the retirement you have to pay into it so where are these regular people you're referring to?
@sleepeeg3 Again please tell me where can I find, no taxes free good, free medical care, and free retirement? Because I'm regular people and I work and I have to pay for all that.
I don't know what episode this was, but Rudi was talking on the phone to one of her friends, and she was getting off the phone, and she told her friend (before she hung up) "Peace Out" After she hung up the phone and walked away, her parents looked & one another & said "Peace Out"? "I thought peace was in" I think Cliff said "Word" or "Word Up" That scene was funny. If anyone knows/remembers what episode that was can U let me know? Thanks:)
bill: THAT IS THE DUMBEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD, NO WONDER YOU GET D'S IN SCHOOL. now thats a real father..telling him how it is in the real world. thats why this is a great, inspiring, funny, and loving show ;D
@lala78outgoing Yeah no "gold star" for trying he gets a Father that says "look around because this is your cell till you get good grades!" :-) We need shows like this!!!
What Cliff is showing Theo is all true, having a so-called regular job is just BARELY mananging for just YOURSELF. If Theo plans on getting married and having kids, he can not support a family on a regular person's salary.
Theo: You're a doctor and mom's lawyer. You're both successful and everything and that's great, but maybe I was born to be a regular person and have a regular life. If you weren't a doctor, I wouldn't love you less because you're my dad. So instead of acting disappointed because I'm not like you, maybe you can just accept me and love me anyway, because I'm your son.
Theo, do you know who gives those kind of speeches? People who don't want to try!
god do i remember this episode by heart haha. when i was little and i was suppose to be sleeping in bed, i used to sneakily turn my tv on around midnight when tv land used to play the cosby show and just watch every episode through out my entire childhood basically. i love this show
@nascar88gyrl WE SURE DO, I CAN'T STAND Reality shows (I must admit, I DO watch American Idol, America's Next Top Model, America's Got Talent, and Snapped (Oxygen)
Speaking of successes in the black community like the Cosby Show, it's a sad week in the black community. This week is an ending to a legendary, illustrious entertainment: The Oprah Winfrey Show is ending this week. :*(
@Tonetare If the world lasts long enough, Oprah Winfrey will go down in history books as the greatest American hero and a prophet to boot (non-leather boot). She took on the mad cow cattle industry all by her lonesome and told the world the truth -- (send in the mad cows; don't bother, they're here). My heroes have always been black cowgirls, like Oprah.
Watch here on YT the BBC Documentary, 'Guinea Pig Kids' & see how Dr's, Big Pharma & The City of NY treat poor, black & hispanic foster kids who are HIV positive. After viewing, please write Mayor Bloomburg & tell him this Nazi Genocide must stop!
For an interesting article Google: 'Guatemalans to sue US government for secretly infecting them with syphilis.'
It's really smart that they chose to use this scene in the pilot episode because fro the run of the show they tried so hard to top this scene which is just is not possible to do in my opinion.
This is the first time I've seen this clip. When his son was rambling about being his son is good enough, I was like, "gimme a break". I was afraid it was going to turn into a Full House moment. But when Bill Cosby fired back, I almost fell out of my chair laughing. Definitely not a full house moment.
I like how the audience applauds after Theos big "accept me for me" speech. Who applauds a kid for trying to convice his father he doesent have to try in school?
one of the best shows ever on tv, I could watch Cos for hours , so many great episodes...love trhe family and watching these kids grow up was such a pleasure.
XD you're quite funny. Every girl says that. I had three gf that where low matinence. you know whwat happened/ as soon as i took them on a date and bought them their first thing, they bled me for money. Give it time.
No, I'm serious, I hate asking people for things, and I'm the kind of girl content with curlng up on the couch and watching a movie with a big bowl of popcorn, preferably with an arm around me.
What wrong with a regular black show with with two rich parents.All black people arent low class.im african american and have two wealthy,educated parents!
"Theo...thats the DUMBEST thing Ive heard in my life, no wonder u get Ds in everything , now u are afraid to try because u think ur brain is going to explode, & its gonna ooze out of u ear, u are gonna try as hard as u can, why? because I said so, I am ur father, I brought u in this world, & Ill take u outt" LMAOOOO!
@Railfan705 i don't that they were suppose to be portraying a middle class family. They had a higher socioeconomic status.That is what made the show refreshing, it showed that black people could too have great successful careers. But family matters was a great show also
@uiluj13 If more people were like Crosby, maybe more people wouldn't buy into this "anything, everything" goes with how kids are raised. Our age is one of not speaking up when kids make dumb decisions.
@jazzguitar2010 im 17 and i admit i make my share of dumb decisions. but with children there should be a moderation in dicipline because at my age or younger, we're very impressionable. my cousin for example has REALLY strict parents, and now if you give him a mean look, he would apoligize for things he didn't do wrong. i'm not saying that we should let children and teenagers do whatever the fuck they want, but i mean to give them room for them to realize they made a mistake at their own pace.
@uiluj13 I agree with you 100%. I think it's a balance, in that parents have to provide guidance, but not overpower their kids with their own ideals and wishes for them. Parents have to call a spade a spade though. With Cosby above, a lot of parents would buy into their kids BS when he started to spout off with this freedom love me for who I am stuff. But Cosby saw through it, and challenged him on it, and knew that Theo was using it as an excuse, instead of a valid reason for slacking.
why in the hell is everyone on here talking about karma biting him in the ass...he loved his son. what happen to him was bad. dr cosby did not bring anything on himself...this is the best shw of my generation....just so happens my favorite episode of all time as well.
@MrNiggyPants I know you hate seeing a successful black family in one of the best television shows of all time. Well, get used to it. It's reality!!!!
@MrNiggyPants LOL!!! Because of afirmative action? My family lives like that in reality, the Obamas and PLENTY of black families are successful not because of afirmative action, because they work hard and get good educations. You are aware that the Obamas went to Harvard, right??? People like yourself amaze me. Your a coward. You use offensive language but would never have the audacity to step to someone and say what you type. What a waste of life you are....
@MrNiggyPants---hey jackass---I am a white person and love this damn show.......how about you take your bigotted ass and get off the bus. DUMBASS!!!!!!!!!!!
@MrNiggyPants LOL! Well I can vouch. 5th generation college in my (Black) family to earn a college degree. Even my great grandparents earned Master's ... and the one who didn't owned his own business. Clearly this had nothing to do with affirmative action because this was back before it existed. You probably don't know any Black families like this because they live in a nicer neighborhood then you.
I actually laughed aloud at this though. You're not offending anyone.
@MrNiggyPants mine jackass my dads a lawyer and my mom works for the government. Obviously you must not come from a well off family or you wouldn't purposefully look up videos about black people in order to vent your misguided anger. Get off welfare and for your information a nigger is an uneducated person, you white nigger.
I remember this episode so well. I was 24 years old and I had been out of the Army for 3 years. Times were rough in the early 80's and I had lived with my Parents since I had gotten out of the service. I procured a job for - yes $300 dollars a week. My friends went nuts - that was so much money at the time. My apartment was $200 dollars a month! I bought a car and paid $125 a month.
I got married 6 years later and was making $65,000 a year. I'm divorced and living back home on $300 per month.
@8thwonder0608 Married a woman who already had young children. Took them as my own. Then we had 2 of our own. Bought a house and made everyone happy. Worked 2 jobs for 5 years. She left me, sued me for child support. Lost my home, was laid off from my job. Couldn't pay the required support was thrown in jail for a year. Got out of jail, couldn't find a job not even McDonald's. Found a part time job. Company went out of business. Jailed again for non-support. Homeless, Mom took me in.
@bangitslo Wow!! I feel so bad for you man. Thank goodness for you mom. I truly hope things get better for you. You'll land on your feet again man. Keep your head up...
@8thwonder0608 Hey man Thanks! I'm not looking for sympathy, but I appreciate your kind words. Usually people will call you a bum or whatever. Not used to hearing kind words. I was always a working man. Been working since I was 7 years old. Never stole anything or took anything I didn't work for. Probably been a little too frivolous giving my money to people, but that's the way I was taught. I'm on the internet at this moment applying for jobs. Hope something comes through. Once again thanks!
I'm just 20 years old and THE COSBY SHOW is one of my favorite shows in the world...seems like I could always find a solution to my problems whenever I watch it. I wish I had half to bill's sarcastic moments wen someone said somethin stupid rotfl! Theo.... that has to be the dumbest thing I ever heard!!! Lmao That man was everybody's dream father

I hate that show, cliff & clare r so arrogant. family matters was a much better example of a middle class black family except 4 urkel.
Railfan705 1 year ago
@Railfan705 i don't that they were suppose to be portraying a middle class family. They had a higher socioeconomic status.That is what made the show refreshing, it showed that black people could too have great successful careers. But family matters was a great show also

@uiluj13 If more people were like Crosby, maybe more people wouldn't buy into this "anything, everything" goes with how kids are raised. Our age is one of not speaking up when kids make dumb decisions.
jazzguitar2010 11 months ago
@jazzguitar2010 im 17 and i admit i make my share of dumb decisions. but with children there should be a moderation in dicipline because at my age or younger, we're very impressionable. my cousin for example has REALLY strict parents, and now if you give him a mean look, he would apoligize for things he didn't do wrong. i'm not saying that we should let children and teenagers do whatever the fuck they want, but i mean to give them room for them to realize they made a mistake at their own pace.
uiluj13 11 months ago
@uiluj13 I agree with you 100%. I think it's a balance, in that parents have to provide guidance, but not overpower their kids with their own ideals and wishes for them. Parents have to call a spade a spade though. With Cosby above, a lot of parents would buy into their kids BS when he started to spout off with this freedom love me for who I am stuff. But Cosby saw through it, and challenged him on it, and knew that Theo was using it as an excuse, instead of a valid reason for slacking.

@MrNiggyPants LOL!!! Because of afirmative action? My family lives like that in reality, the Obamas and PLENTY of black families are successful not because of afirmative action, because they work hard and get good educations. You are aware that the Obamas went to Harvard, right??? People like yourself amaze me. Your a coward. You use offensive language but would never have the audacity to step to someone and say what you type. What a waste of life you are....

@MrNiggyPants LOL! Well I can vouch. 5th generation college in my (Black) family to earn a college degree. Even my great grandparents earned Master's ... and the one who didn't owned his own business. Clearly this had nothing to do with affirmative action because this was back before it existed. You probably don't know any Black families like this because they live in a nicer neighborhood then you.
I actually laughed aloud at this though. You're not offending anyone.

Obviously you must not come from a well off family or you wouldn't purposefully look up videos about black people in order to vent your misguided anger. Get off welfare and for your information a nigger is an uneducated person, you white nigger.

I remember this episode so well. I was 24 years old and I had been out of the Army for 3 years. Times were rough in the early 80's and I had lived with my Parents since I had gotten out of the service. I procured a job for - yes $300 dollars a week. My friends went nuts - that was so much money at the time. My apartment was $200 dollars a month! I bought a car and paid $125 a month.
I got married 6 years later and was making $65,000 a year. I'm divorced and living back home on $300 per month.

@bangitslo What happened? How did you go from making $65,000 a year to $3,600 a year and living with your parents, despite your divorce?
8thwonder0608 1 year ago
@8thwonder0608 Married a woman who already had young children. Took them as my own. Then we had 2 of our own. Bought a house and made everyone happy. Worked 2 jobs for 5 years. She left me, sued me for child support. Lost my home, was laid off from my job. Couldn't pay the required support was thrown in jail for a year. Got out of jail, couldn't find a job not even McDonald's. Found a part time job. Company went out of business. Jailed again for non-support. Homeless, Mom took me in.

@8thwonder0608 Hey man Thanks! I'm not looking for sympathy, but I appreciate your kind words. Usually people will call you a bum or whatever. Not used to hearing kind words. I was always a working man. Been working since I was 7 years old. Never stole anything or took anything I didn't work for. Probably been a little too frivolous giving my money to people, but that's the way I was taught. I'm on the internet at this moment applying for jobs. Hope something comes through. Once again thanks!
