FUN FACT: Bill Cosby was in the Army as a Pharmacy Tech as a very young man. Explains where he first learned about pharmacology. He's been practicing it ever since it seems.
Yeah. Really deep. What a genius. You mean man is fallen? Never occurred to me. Who knew? What would we do without giants like Bill Maher? I have always wondered how this unprincipled, supercilious, debauched gadfly has a TV show (even an obscure one that nobody watches). Now I know: It's thanks to vacuous duchebags like you. Oh, and great photo. You're very beautiful.
Our son is a sound engineer and worked on a Bill Cosby project years ago. He, my son, said Cosby always took home all of the food brought in for the set crew.
What? That's weird. Cosby wasn't ever in fear of starving to death. "Does anyone want seconds? No sense in letting perfectly good food go to waste while they're eating dirt in China!"
Yeah, I heard creepy things about the Playboy Mansion, I heard it was one of the places where Bill Cosby would actually find women he would do this to.
My dad used to hate Cosby. "He's a phony." I wondered: was dad racist? Well, dad liked Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy movies so probably not judging performers by race ... so when the 'Cosby is a creep story broke' I wasn't exactly shocked. Huh. Dad was right on that one
I don't see how being a creep as a human being stops someone being funny. History is littered with people you may consider creeps and yet are magnificent at what they do.
@@FidoeFTW He was a kid and they were telling him constantly about racism in school from what it sounds like.. so, you're young and impressionable...it's easy to not be able to discern, even for a smart kid. They can really push that into a kid and it takes until later for logic to kick in...if it does.
Of course!!!! He seemed too good to be true! Way too pure and wholesome so I felt that something wasn't right about the man. After he made his bid public to buy N. B. C. that everything came out about Mr. Cosby being a dangerous sex offender/ rapist......... Why so long? Because it's not simple for a rape victim to come forth and speak out.......
How is that? Like he doesn’t want to be there. Watch the part of this interview where Joe brings up Kyle Dunnigan’s impression of Bill and he throws a tantrum.
Absolutely, I was hoping someone would say this. He barely stopped for applause and just went on to the next round of jokes. He had a really cool and unique style.
The funniest thing I saw him do was finish his bit on the couch with Johnny Carson, take a beat and then ask guest James Mason or Ed McMahon, "So what's new with you?" Had Carson rolling as well.
Best dangerfield line So I'm my way home early from work. Gonna surprise my wife with flowers. I see this man jogging down the street naked. I ask him why are you jogging naked. He said cause you're home early.
Hannibal Burress is credited for breaking this whole thing, bringing it to the mainstream public. He's stated several times that he thought it was well known common knowledge and was surprised at the severity of the reaction.
Norm is a particular genius at that though. Nobody has his level of unique comedic delivery, timing, and purposely stretching jokes to get to a perfect punchline that simultaneously makes a joke of the long setup.
Even when I was a kid, I never liked Bill Cosby. I always found something about him “off”, like he was hiding something, and hiding his true intentions. Even during The Cosby Show, which I didn’t care for, there was something about him that had that creepy vibe to him. However, you didn’t critique him (Cosby), because he was “America’s dad.” When the whole thing came out and how he was a creep, drugged women, etc…I wasn’t shocked.
You right about the creepiness of Dr Huxtable, why was he checking with Denise's husband about whether she was a virgin on their wedding night? Weird man
It seems almost everyone in Hollywood, knew the guy was a creep, but nobody said anything until Cosby became too critical of the black community, them he became fair game and was destroyed
I didn't like him because his humour was cute. He would do these silly faces and voices that were just adorable to the audience. I didn't find him creepy at all. I just hate fake cuteness.
There was a lot of popular comedians that I never found funny even as a child. Like sitting around with my family watching Cosby or Three Stooges as a kid and just being dumbfounded as everyone around me was practically in tears from laughing so hard. It felt corny then and corny now.
@@Rjensen2 The Three Stooges have their moments, but the Marx Brothers' are the ones from that era who are truly timeless. Still hilarious, edgy and influential.
My sister waited on him at a Lake Tahoe restaurant, he tried to embarrass her about counting his change back, he just didn’t know she was a master at witty comebacks and left him infuriated in front of his dinner party. She knew he was a creep
Maher isn’t big on moralism, especially family values moralism which was Cosby’s entire schtick. He sees the same thing most sensible people do. It’s fake. Moralism is a mask people wear for the public, so Cosby being a monster under that mask was fitting.
It's a shame he didn't bring up the drugging and raping...that would have been a useful, actionable opinion. Maher's opinion on the comedy of Cosby isn't very relevant: he inspired multiple generations of comedians, and has also thoroughly destroyed his reputation and hurt the lives of many individuals.
Back in college friends and I used to get baked and laugh out asses off to old Bill Cosby stand-up...but I don’t think we were laughing at his jokes per se, just there was something about the way he talked, combined with the very dated material, that made us chuckle.
Knew this comment would exist. Maher's an arrogant douche bag , establishment wind-bag shill. "I'm cool b/c I smoke weed. Now let me be smug and condescending and pass it off as comedy."
@@OBCWarDogs Well, he definitely played it up as a gimmick but I don't think that Cosby was ACTING as a pompous dickhead, I think that he really is a pompous dickhead.
Agreed. I liked The Cosby Show because of how groundbreaking it was in it's presentation of an upper-middle-class nuclear African-American family(and not only were both parents in the home but one was a doctor and the other was a lawyer)but I don't know that I ever personally liked Bill Cosby, himself or that I ever found him to be that funny. And also, the condescending attitude towards younger black comics, like how he lectured Eddie Murphy about using profanity in his jokes and talking down to black people with his infamous speech back in 2004 just made me look at him in a completely different light. Also, there he was preaching morality and lecturing people on how he thinks they should speak and behave when he's out there drugging and raping women.
I recall catching reruns of the original Playboy After Hours hosted by Hugh Hefner. I believe the original show aired in the mid to late sixties, but I was seeing them in the late eighties. And I was amazed to see Bill Cosby on the show regularly, hanging out, doing stand up, and just being one of Hefner's entourage. Here was Mr. Clean comedian always beside some perky Bunny, drinking and smoking cigars. So later when all the shit came out about his proclivities, it just made sense.
Bill Mahler himself was a friend of Hef's....At least that's the impression I got seeing his face more than once in Playboy magazine. In fact, even Donald Trump himself has made the COVER of Playboy magazine, and perhaps he and 'ol Billy ^^^ may have seen eachother naked in the grotto? May have even tag-teamed Miss "Whatever Month-N-Year" together??? (Or were those parties at the mansion that I never got invited to, much more HYPE than reality??? Just curious.) Still, with so many rich-n-famous in attendance at such parties combined with lots of "NOT-so-rich and famous" good looking girls desperate to BE rich-n-famous, such speculation is NOT beyond the realm of possibility neh?
@@jebidiahnewkedkracker1025 That's most likely the real story behind Maher's dislike of Cosby he probably disrespected him at the Playboy mansion or stole a bunny Maher was going to roofie.
Wendy Williams told a Cosby story on her talk show a few years back. She said that back in the 90's when she was reading tabloid headlines about Cosby on her radio show, he heard and called her station manager to complain. She got called into her manager's office and Cosby, on speakerphone, called her every name and read her up and down for talking about him on the radio. She said she knew then that they had to be true.
@@lifegoals9528 nah, he was and is a prick who doesnt realize that hes human too. Hes not the comedy god he thinks he is, and hes not even close to being as funny as he thinks he was
Does anybody else remember when Real Time with Bill Maher first started and the punchline for every other joke was Bush. Yeah, there's some real comic genius there.
Cosby is considered the goat of story-telling comedians. In the 1970s into early 80s, he was hilarious. I realize it was a different time in the US. But his ability to bring these characters from his childhood to life via storytelling was unmatched. It looks like he's been somewhat exonerated, not entirely. He was no saint in his private life, but the same is true for tons of hollyweird people.
By "characters from his childhood" are you pertaining to " I ba you ba we ba do ba he ba " Mushmouth ? Probably one of the most racially ,stereo typed ,wrong headed,out of contexcted portrayal of a Black man in the history of entertainment ? Let's all take a pass on that "character from childhood " please!!!
@@joegausch that's someone he grew up with. Although you whine about the trauma of mushmouth in 2021, everyone knows that no one was whining about it in the past, it didn't stereotype anyone or cause any violence. What a sad and weak 'talking point'.
@@monkeyb1820 ok so he grew up with either someone who has a speech impediment or someone so mentally handicap they require 24/7 care. Either example is certainly not funny about his "childhood friend " which whom is a character that I believe never existed. And this topic was brought up some 50 years ago-its just that with the advent of the internet you can reach a worldwide as opposed to a National or local audience. It was never funny then nor is it now... If you think mocking someone who has obvious issues is a "sad and weak talking point",well that's on you!!!!
Billy Connolly can take 20 minutes and come back to a punch line because he goes off in tangents and is still hilarious. Dave Chappelle is also a master of that.
Makes me wonder if his vitriol toward Lisa Bonet was a product of something entirely different than her making "Angel Heart" and not having a wholesome enough image for the show.
Cosbys stand up was really funny. I had some on cassette tape. But at that time comedy was different and he was pretty funny. Maher has never been funny, he's quite boring to be honest.
Truthfully, I agree with his opinion on Cosby, but I never found Maher that funny either myself. Always came off as a third rate George Carlin wannabe to me
@@scottbreon9448 I actually gave him a shot a couple years ago. After a couple shows I had all I could take. I can get the same hackery from Tucker; but at least I agree with Tucker 95%
I saw Chappel live in person in 2005 and he told all long form jokes. And his closer was literally 20 minutes and then he finally got to the punchline & it killed.
Comedy is personal. Everybody likes what they like and don't like what they don't like. I thought Chappelle's old stuff was funnier when he got to the point a bit quicker. But he's very relaxed and easy to listen to even in his long stories.
4:39 pretty sure that happens to all celebrities including modern, not just older generations of celebrities. Else, why would they preach to us on how to live and vote constantly?
I went to a Catholic elementary school back in the '80s, and I remember one teacher who would use Cosby's records for classes where he was trying to teach us about morality and responsibility (believe it or not). I still think about that man every time I think about this story. Mr. M, what do you think now?
I’ve never found joe Rogan funny actually. He’s not a bad interviewer and casual commentator he’s funny, but his stand up I’ve never sat through a set. I tried.
Totally agree. I have also noticed NO ONE Rogan surrounds himself with is funny either! Joey Diaz, Brendan Schaub, Bryan Callen... he's like that semi pretty chick who surrounds herself with fatties so she looks better in comparison.
jelmersaur it’s like saying “I hate Hitler!” today. There is no moral virtue involved - everybody hates Hitler. But Maher never said shit about Cosby for decades, despite the fact it was pretty common knowledge in the industry he was a creep.
Michael Munson except Bill Maher’s whole shtick is saying unpopular, politically incorrect stuff. There have been plenty of times where he was right before everyone else was, and also times where he was dead wrong and had to apologize to Ice Cube for using the N word. His whole career is based on inconvenience.
When JR said that thing about famous people from a long time ago thinking they’re better that’s actually in line with what Annie Leibovitz said about difficult people to photograph. She said the most difficult celebrities to deal with are the ones who have been in it the longest, because they’ve been catered to for so long they’ve just got a warped sense of reality

I recall catching reruns of the original Playboy After Hours hosted by Hugh Hefner. I believe the original show aired in the mid to late sixties, but I was seeing them in the late eighties. And I was amazed to see Bill Cosby on the show regularly, hanging out, doing stand up, and just being one of Hefner's entourage. Here was Mr. Clean comedian always beside some perky Bunny, drinking and smoking cigars. So later when all the shit came out about his proclivities, it just made sense.
Bill Mahler himself was a friend of Hef's....At least that's the impression I got seeing his face more than once in Playboy magazine. In fact, even Donald Trump himself has made the COVER of Playboy magazine, and perhaps he and 'ol Billy ^^^ may have seen eachother naked in the grotto? May have even tag-teamed Miss "Whatever Month-N-Year" together??? (Or were those parties at the mansion that I never got invited to, much more HYPE than reality??? Just curious.) Still, with so many rich-n-famous in attendance at such parties combined with lots of "NOT-so-rich and famous" good looking girls desperate to BE rich-n-famous, such speculation is NOT beyond the realm of possibility neh?
@@jebidiahnewkedkracker1025 That's most likely the real story behind Maher's dislike of Cosby he probably disrespected him at the Playboy mansion or stole a bunny Maher was going to roofie.
I laughed so goddamn hard from Joe's Bill Cosby impression I was not expecting that😂
He sounded like Bill Clinton
Did not sound much like Cosby but he was just talking not trying to do a great impression like Norm Mcdonald did. Not really funny though.
Coming from someone on my "never funny" list I can't argue with him. He would know.
Lmao.......
@Heywood Jablowme I pictured you being rather pretentious and scoffing as you typed "As if"... welcome to my funny list.
@@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo it's perfectly fine. People have different taste. I find him funny.
Oh the irony is rich
@Heywood Jablowme I have no idea if you are being serious. You think Bill Maher is funnier than George Carlin...???
If you ever listened to Cosby's Spanish Fly routine he was literally telling you what he was doing and you could do it.
Thats funny when Bill Maher doesn't even write his own jokes
"Bill Cosby was never my friend"
Bill Maher
But Jeffrey Eipstein was- Also Bill Maher
Wendy Williams told a Cosby story on her talk show a few years back. She said that back in the 90's when she was reading tabloid headlines about Cosby on her radio show, he heard and called her station manager to complain. She got called into her manager's office and Cosby, on speakerphone, called her every name and read her up and down for talking about him on the radio. She said she knew then that they had to be true.
Dont watch Wendy Williams, crypt keepin Oprah wannabe
@Jack Chapman Exactly.
@@lifegoals9528 nah, he was and is a prick who doesnt realize that hes human too. Hes not the comedy god he thinks he is, and hes not even close to being as funny as he thinks he was
I believe Wendy O Williams...not Wendy Williams.
Don't listen to that man. He has faked seizures on his show. Complete nut job.
bill cosby won 7 grammys for best comedy album. the most ever.
Never really thought Bill Maher was much funnier.
Does anybody else remember when Real Time with Bill Maher first started and the punchline for every other joke was Bush. Yeah, there's some real comic genius there.
You can make a joke about bush today and it will still be funny
@@branflakee4257 That's not what I'm talking about. Seriously, did you even read what I typed in.
No i didnt i just wanted to comment on your post
Do you know who Bush is? Any of them
walk short holly?
No headphones?! What in hell is happening to my life?
Chris Keef oh yeh
Yeah! I was wondering about that as well.
New tech, perhaps. A gift from Tony Stark
Maybe they’re both in agreement there isn’t a chance they’d talk over eachother
Cosby is considered the goat of story-telling comedians. In the 1970s into early 80s, he was hilarious. I realize it was a different time in the US. But his ability to bring these characters from his childhood to life via storytelling was unmatched. It looks like he's been somewhat exonerated, not entirely. He was no saint in his private life, but the same is true for tons of hollyweird people.
By "characters from his childhood" are you pertaining to " I ba you ba we ba do ba he ba " Mushmouth ?
Probably one of the most racially ,stereo typed ,wrong headed,out of contexcted portrayal of a Black man in the history of entertainment ?
Let's all take a pass on that "character from childhood " please!!!
@@joegausch that's someone he grew up with. Although you whine about the trauma of mushmouth in 2021, everyone knows that no one was whining about it in the past, it didn't stereotype anyone or cause any violence. What a sad and weak 'talking point'.
@@monkeyb1820 ok so he grew up with either someone who has a speech impediment or someone so mentally handicap they require 24/7 care.
Either example is certainly not funny about his "childhood friend "
which whom is a character that I believe never existed.
And this topic was brought up some 50 years ago-its just that with the advent of the internet you can reach a worldwide as opposed to a National or local audience.
It was never funny then nor is it now...
If you think mocking someone who has obvious issues is a "sad and weak talking point",well that's on you!!!!
@@joegausch You lose. A lot more people got joy from mushmouth than got all butthurt by him.
@@monkeyb1820 not butthurt
Just not funny !!!
Billy Connolly can take 20 minutes and come back to a punch line because he goes off in tangents and is still hilarious. Dave Chappelle is also a master of that.
Maher: “The human mind is largely unexplored”
Rogan: “Ha ever tried DMT?”
lol
Maher: is DMT some sort of vaccine? Because if it is, I’ll try it and totally benefit but kids shouldn’t.
😂😂
Underrated comment
Well Bill Maher is an expert on not being funny, so I guess he would know.
And you are an expert on who is and isn't funny?
@@deerobinson557 yes, he is. he has a degree.
Thank you!
@@deerobinson557 yep he’s an expert, now fuck off
Let me guess, you are a Republican 😆
Makes me wonder if his vitriol toward Lisa Bonet was a product of something entirely different than her making "Angel Heart" and not having a wholesome enough image for the show.
Then we give him a show where he sits with our kids one at a time and gets everyone to laugh at their cuteness lol
He can add himself to his non funny list.
Aquarius = Robotic
True, but I still agree with him that Cosby always fuckin' sucked.
Exactly
@@turnerclassicbastard2082 everyone has their preference
Now that's funny
I never found Cosby funny.
Then again, I never found Maher funny either.
Cosbys stand up was really funny. I had some on cassette tape. But at that time comedy was different and he was pretty funny. Maher has never been funny, he's quite boring to be honest.
I was thinking the same thing😂😂😂
Essence Lost BOOM! Nail, meet head
Beat me to it, that's why he can't be funny because he doesn't know about being funny.
And I bet you're a fucking Trump supporting moron.
I love how Maher angled the conversation towards giving his mind-blowing take on Cosby. This whole podcast was Bill begging for relevance.
Norm McDonald's was completely capable of setting up long bits...I think he had a 9 minute one or something I forget
Maher thinks he knows more than everyone and loves the sound of his own voice.
Isn't that how most people are? LMAO.
@Cult_Leader_1334 boy do I miss Hitchens............I could listen to him all day.
Scag, best description of Maher, ever. He is a classic elitist, pompous blowhard that cannot accept a difference of a opinion. In short, a dickhead.
Umm thats what he gets paid to do
Haha lame ass comments
What a coincidence; never felt like Bill Maher was funny either.
Truthfully, I agree with his opinion on Cosby, but I never found Maher that funny either myself. Always came off as a third rate George Carlin wannabe to me
@@scottbreon9448 I actually gave him a shot a couple years ago. After a couple shows I had all I could take. I can get the same hackery from Tucker; but at least I agree with Tucker 95%
@Adam Hansen Carlson
Adam Hansen lol. Serious?
@Adam Hansen lmao no, he's an elitist pretending to be part of the tribe.
Well, BM, next time you swing a dead cat?
...just aim for Cosby's back yard!
I never found Bill Cosby funny but I'm still undecided if Bill Maher is even a comedian.
Honestly look at Chappelle he takes 2 minutes or longer to get to the punchline and I love him and so so many people
I saw Chappel live in person in 2005 and he told all long form jokes. And his closer was literally 20 minutes and then he finally got to the punchline & it killed.
Chappelle is the GOAT . simple .
I could listen to Chappelle all day
Pretty sure this is about another Comedian not Chapel.
Comedy is personal. Everybody likes what they like and don't like what they don't like. I thought Chappelle's old stuff was funnier when he got to the point a bit quicker. But he's very relaxed and easy to listen to even in his long stories.
Maher: "I heard he was a creep in 1983"
Rogan: "I heard in 1994"
Why didn't you jerks tell the rest of us?
You are asking pertinent questions
Two comics versus bill Cosby? Right. No one would have believed.
Do you people not understand what a rumor is? Only a millenial would suggested spreading a rumor you heard
Do you understand what evidence is? Specially when the victims wouldn't come forward?
@@justsomeguy1136 two white guys dont forget about that
It’s like Bill has never watch a Dave Chappelle special he can take an hour to set up a joke.
NEITHER WERE YOU MAHER
That's hilarious. I've never, ever found Maher funny.
he is fucking awful.
Quoting Rush Limbaugh on Bill Maher: "He thinks he's funny"
Birds of a kind, think the same, as it were.
@@Crichjo32 Duh... Rush Limbaugh is not a comedian
Not have I. He’s just a nasty smartass.
4:39 pretty sure that happens to all celebrities including modern, not just older generations of celebrities. Else, why would they preach to us on how to live and vote constantly?
Bill Cosby is one of the most talented people on the planet he was deceptive and clairvoyant 😮.
I went to a Catholic elementary school back in the '80s, and I remember one teacher who would use Cosby's records for classes where he was trying to teach us about morality and responsibility (believe it or not).
I still think about that man every time I think about this story.
Mr. M, what do you think now?
I thought those records were great, but I listened to them in the 60s....
That's unfair everyone in public gets taken in by these types
@@angelakelly2131 not everyone.
A shout out for Joe's impressions.
I’ve never found joe Rogan funny actually. He’s not a bad interviewer and casual commentator he’s funny, but his stand up I’ve never sat through a set. I tried.
He’s very shouty
Facts big facts
Totally agree. I have also noticed NO ONE Rogan surrounds himself with is funny either! Joey Diaz, Brendan Schaub, Bryan Callen... he's like that semi pretty chick who surrounds herself with fatties so she looks better in comparison.
Sean Williams ok that’s too far Joey Diaz is funny as fuck
Same
I am comfortable with the fact that the Cosby I knew was just a character on tv.
Hey, his cake for breakfast bit is great.
Joes killing it with the guest
Bill Maher sucks.
Bills trying to nab some new viewers
@@rayfinkle9369 His stand up sucks, but hell, Joe's stand up sucks too. Doesn't make him less interesting.
Turner Classic Bastard joe is more of a story teller than a comedian
He put himself in the same place as Sam Harris and Peterson, I think he's being honest. He's an old lib struggling with what that word is becoming.
That’s real convenient to say now.
How is it convenient?
jelmersaur it’s like saying “I hate Hitler!” today. There is no moral virtue involved - everybody hates Hitler. But Maher never said shit about Cosby for decades, despite the fact it was pretty common knowledge in the industry he was a creep.
Michael Munson except Bill Maher’s whole shtick is saying unpopular, politically incorrect stuff. There have been plenty of times where he was right before everyone else was, and also times where he was dead wrong and had to apologize to Ice Cube for using the N word. His whole career is based on inconvenience.
Bill has said that about not finding Cosby funny for years, going back at least to the mid-2000’s. Check your facts, Michael.
He's been saying it for many many years.
When JR said that thing about famous people from a long time ago thinking they’re better that’s actually in line with what Annie Leibovitz said about difficult people to photograph. She said the most difficult celebrities to deal with are the ones who have been in it the longest, because they’ve been catered to for so long they’ve just got a warped sense of reality
Meher described himself when talking about Cosby 🤣
