elvin and clair

[neepl8]

I remember this scene like it was yesterday. Neck roll and tell him off gurl... "EVAHH"

[hamrto1]

I LOVE Clair...she really let Elvin have it!

[Punkiegirl140]

"Let me tell you something Elvin..." LMAO

[xxxBakeneckoxxx]

This is exactly how I feel when people tell me I'm giving into patriarchy by wanting to get married. lol

[bdwriley]

OWNED!

[NIghtRider805]

bwaha Claires got Classsssss

[cutieonduty26]

I believe they made elvin that way because its sterotypical that men from the islands think that way being his dad was from trinadad.

[jibbberjabbber666]

I always hated how they made Elvin feminist fodder on this show that was already made of cliche stick figures

[christmasgirl8]

I LOVE CLAIRE!

[extrememakeoverfan]

Clair is the bomb. Tell it like it is. I love how as soon as Elvin started saying stupid things Cliff was holding his face like "Lord, please yank this boy's tongue before someone gets hurt."

[Sent2work]

Claire shows how to put someone in their rightful place without losing her dignity. No cursing, no name-calling. She gets to the point, lets him have it, then relaxes and lets the info take affect. She's a true class act. Too bad other shows think the character has to be in the gutter to get a point across.

[Slikrik1212]

".....any thing, any where, any place, any time, evah" Awesome.

[tonystheclick]

I agree. I was so happy claire set him straight!

[blackbelttube]

Shouldn't have cut out the part where Cliff says, "Elvin, when she brings the coffee back... I wouldn't drink it."

[PurpleToilets]

loved the way she said "okay" she said it with attitude .. like "OKAYE!?"

[tonystheclick]

@PurpleToilets thats how we gay black men say it!

[arhuxtable]

This was when Elvin and Sondra mended their broken relationship. Clair disliked Elvin until he proposed to Sondra. Apparently,Elvin changed his viewpoint about men ruling women.

[MissNVS1]

Oh, serve *him*. As in "serve your man"? Let me tell you something, Elvin. You see, I am not *serving* Dr. Huxtable, okay? That's the kind of thing that goes on in a restaurant. Now I am going to bring him a cup of coffee just like he brought me a cup of coffee this morning. And *that*, is what marriage is made of: give-and-take fifty-fifty. And if you don't get it together, and drop these macho attitudes, you're never gonna have anybody bringing you anything anywhere, any place, any time EVER.

[kennkal]

"....now. What would you like in your coffee?"

[CelineDionFan321]

"Lemme tell you something Elvin."

BOOM. It hit him all at once.

[moan01]

@CelineDionFan321 The sister in her took over a split second before she said that! Then KA POW!...right in Elvins face.

[slowd1982]

let me tell you something  elvin. you know when she said that it was all over for him!

[05cgreene]

i lovee this episode!!!

[jamaciapride]

thats the type of thing that goes on in a resturant lol

[tonystheclick]

you see,and when you get even older,youre gonna say"youre right!!!.

[tonystheclick]

Thank you guys for the positive responses!

[myTWOlittleMEMORIES]

I love how classy she is!!

[Kenyapoo16]

Well Damn................

[PrettyBrownEyes1410]

By far my favorite scene EVER from this show OMG yassss Phylicia!

[thatmiddleblocker]

"lemme tell you somethin elvin..." LOVE IT!

[rlw112563]

Love that scene

[mcfadie]

What i love about elvin in these moments is that he played this chauvinistic character in such a way that he was still likeable. It takes a good actor to do that.

[MrSidMan]

I am the bastard son of Clair Huxtable!

[pixarian]

mmmmm.....she told you!

[CranberriAppl]

haha, this episode is on TV Land right now!!

[Guruboy27]

She showed him,lol. Damn.

[Goshous]

Clair is a beast, man!

[softcelltainted22]

sweet lord hahahah

i don't know what she has against "serving" cuz she def served his ass LOL

[blkchk]

I loved Elvin, he was such a dork.

[sexymamii23]

I luv her damn she went n on him LMAO

[michaeltatiana4ever]

lol, i luv claire.

[lighteyes214]

Classic!

[Ibeatsthapussy]

man i wanted to f*ck claire huxtable back then , I;ll still beat today

[castingtherunes]

I will forever remember Claire not only because of her beauty, but because of her five immortal words: VANESSA, GO TO YOUR ROOM!!

[witcherderrick]

that is just the why whitney houston act

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

@witcherderrick Whitney Houston was originally gonna play Sondra,but she didn;t get the role due to her music career Whitney would have been a fierce Sandra

[letmetalk2u]

What are you one of those Euro-centric people?

[monuorah]

I was SO waiting for this moment ever since I first saw Elvin and his chauvanistic attitude. And when she goes "anywhere, anytime, anyplace" really quickly - that's just the skill of a fantastic actress!

[yokeelee]

I LUV CLAIR HUXTABLE

[soulgirl66]

This was one of my favorite Claire scenes from "The Cosby Show." I think I stood up and applauded when it first aired! LOL! Saving to my "80's TV moments" playlist :D

[tonystheclick]

i posted the video because it was who my black mother is.not to debate how black was claire h. just enjoy.celebrate our lives. tony

[michaeltatiana4ever]

LOL! elvin got it good!

[michaeltatiana4ever]

ooooohhhhh!

[Tonetare]

Claire Huxtable is fucking hot. Damn!

[TNNS415]

her mom is black and her dad is louisiana creole

[maccagirl56]

You may be thinking of Sabrina La Bouf (Sondra).

[TNNS415]

they both are///look on google.

[ristobenjie]

Man the F up, scared of your mother-in-law, punk

[prestonelite]

This is a lie, Her father and debbie allen's Father was one of the most successful Black Dentists in houton and her mother is a beautiful black woman.

[TNNS415]

yea a black creole

[letmetalk2u]

You're so right preston.... It seems like whenever someone finds a Black woman of med complexion attractive they immediate embark on a fishing expedition in a desperate attempt to attribute the attractiveness to another ethnicity and it seems ANY non black ethnicity will do. Again it's sickening, ignorant, unintelligent and sooooo damn old..

[melloprod]

she was so damn fine!

[gambamama]

What do you mean "was"? She still is! :D

[treehuggerdude4]

@melloprod i agree. Its because she was so intelligent and funny and non-submissive. She was.... a cool person. I always thought she was the perfect match for bill cosby, that funny cool guy.

[deatha44]

LOL!

[elw235]

is there silence in the room? cause he just got told off really bad lol lol lol this my favorite part!!

[Eflatmajor09]

"Maybe I should get you some coffee..." lol

[scoot1105]

I loved that part. I remember my mom yelling out "AMEN SISTA!!" lol!

[markbutt]

I love this episode. This part always cracks me up too.

[Monbrax]

she could tell you off and still be a lady! go claire!

[RichardandRachel]

GO CLAIRE! GO CLAIRE!

[lovebugXOXOclaire]

my name is claire!

[RichardandRachel]

Lol! Well I didn't mean you, but if you want to chew him out go ahead.

[lovebugXOXOclaire]

hahaha!

[smartkrh]

I just can't believe this lady did not get awards for this show like she should have. Good actress!

[monuorah]

@smartkrh so true. Bill Cosby said the same thing. She never even got nominated for anything. Shows you how racist America still was in the 80s when this show was on. No matter, she doesn't need an award to know how great of an actress she is :)

[musicaltheatergeek79]

That's not true. She was nominated twice for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for the first and second seasons, but she didn't win. She lost out to Jane Curtin for KATE & ALLIE and Betty White for THE GOLDEN GIRLS.

[monuorah]

@musicaltheatergeek79 Well that's what Cosby said. Perhaps he was more angry that she didn't win anything both times and that's still a testament to that time period.

[Raven6248]

"If I was you, when she brings that coffee back, I wouldn't drink it"

[demiselenaalways]

I LOVE CLAIR!

i have the whole "clair" speech in my head lol

[Astraldragon1]

Clair is funny when she gets upset. Poor Elvin, She should know his way of thinking was due to his upbringing. Not his fault if he wasn't up to date lol. Love this show it is so funny.

[rsvltsupastar]

Yeah but i'm sure Elvin's mother didnt take that chauvinistic crap from his father lol

[MsMaestro00]

CLASSIC!!!

[MsTexas73]

"And if you don't git it together, and drop these macho attitudes, you are nevah gonna have anybody bringing you anything, anywhere, any place, any time, EVAH!!!"

LURVE CLAIR!!!

[amarvinwinansfan]

@MsTexas73 LOL funny!

[utubeman19992]

[Kratos8462]

[radcliff2002]

[lblu32]

I LOVE Clair Huxtable....she was the first person I ever admired (other than my family)...I always wanted to be just like her(minus the 5 kids)...she's intelligent, beautiful, sassy and classy, perfect combo

[elw235]
