Same here. Used to fall asleep listening to "Himself" and "For My Brother Russell..." every night on cassette when I was 7 or 8. It wasn't until decades later seeing these videos on TH-cam that I realized there was a ton of material edited out so it would fit on the tape.
Yea, just have plenty of shots of versed and the laughing gas ready for them when they get in your chair. I like the oral surgeon approach with the IV of versed, fentanyl, and pentothal in a carefully timed concert of anesthetic bliss.
I remember watching this whole show on VHS with my dad, as well as listening to other Bill Cosby routines on vinyl. Comedy doesn’t need to be raunchy to be hilarious. I will always cherish those times of pure laughter with my dad.
Absolutely. Bill Cosby - Dentist & George Carlin - Modern Man. True, clever analogies, extreme contrast between reality and what should be. Proof that man is insane. Brilliant. NO DIRTY WORDS!!!
I can remember my dad, a retired dentist, howling with laughter over this album and he was right: this is hilarious! I am not a dentist, but the bit on seeing and smelling smoke from your mouth was awesome.
So he pulls the needle out, puts this thing in your mouth. "ahhhhhhhhhggg" this will suck up your face... and the dentist goes out to laugh at you. here you are grown intelligent human being arguing with this thing...
I went to the dentist the other day, and this is the EXACT thing that came into my mind as the dentist was picking at my teeth. Had a badly decayed tooth, and had it drilled and filled. Thank goodness for modern painkillers...
I watched this with my parents and my older brother when I was like 9 or 10 years old. It was an HBO special and were hysterical the whole time. One of the funniest comedy routines I ever saw 😂
One cuss word. When he was talking about cocaine and when he asks why people use it and one person said that "it intensifies your personality", and bill comes back with "but what if you are an asshole?"
This skit is why, to this day, I say, "Oh-be-kay-be." 🤣😂 Oh Bill, why'd you have to go & break my heart? I saw you live one time & I swear this was just as good years later, in person.
You know, I really don't know he is a good person or a bad person. But I just don't buy the raping stories. It just seemed too convenient.May be I am wrong, but my gut feeling always said the whole accusations were BS. I just don't think a popular wealthy man like Bill Cosby, ever have to rape anyone for sex.
@@Binara Not every rapist does it out of desperation, many actively fetishize the act. Don't go onto any hentai site that doesn't let you filter tags, I've seen some sh*t.
I was at the dentist yesterday and I told the asst about this and she said she never saw it!!! WHAT???? How can you be in the biz and never have seen this??? I told her she had to watch it...funniest thing ever!
Love the way this man can do comedy - great comedy - without having to resort to excessive cussing and vulgarity. I've watched a number of his videos, and it's something I wouldn't hesitate to let a kid listen to.
First heard this in 1986, sitting in a dentist's chair awaiting the extraction of two wisdom teeth (no lie!!!) It was hysterical then, and is every bit as funny now! Love this routine - and love this man and his comedy!!
Thanks for sharing this great comedian's sketch! I grew up on Bill's humour in the 60's .. my dad was an avid fan and had a lot of his albums and used to laugh so hard that my mum used to warn him he may have a heart attack if he carried on! I laughed like that tonight! Priceless!
Brilliant. I laughed so much, tears came down my face. I wanted to laugh loud but I couldn't because I didn't want to wake up my nephew. I was watching this comedy at 5:30am. October 20,2019. Thanks You Tube for uploading this.
The Dentist skit by the Cos is hilarious. My sides hurt from laughing so hard. I've seen it more than once and it is still good for a good, hearty laugh. True comedy.
My father recorded this stand up on vhs and played it daily when he would be getting ready to go to night shift at GM. It would be just staring when I walked in the door from school. I would be on the living room floor going back and forth between it and my homework. But as soon as he was out of the driveway...vcr off and channel 4 fox on for GI Joe and Transformers.
Im laughing so hard because I just came from the dentist and this is so true. Yes. My bottob libip is still numb. Actually my whole mouth and left side of my face is numb
What better way to combat gloominess then with laughter!! It's a scientific fact that laughter, no matter the length, a burst of laughter, to a lengthy, big-belly laugh, accompanied by tears of sheer joy is HEALING for the spirit, soul, and body.
I memorized this act when i was 8 because it made my dad and I laugh. I performed it in front of my third grade class and nobody got it accept the teacher and i felt super proud. Good to know i grew up with good role models.
When I was ten I had this entire routine memorized. When he did it to finish his routine the last time he was at the Fox here in Atlanta I felt like a child again.
Frickin' comic genius. He takes a common experience everyone can relate to and makes it absolutely hilarious! I'm impressed how he stays in character the whole time--no acknowledgement that he's said anything funny.
I was at the dentist today, and usually I try to be calm, and sometimes I think about this skit. Thought about it today and was trying to stifle my laughter. This special was my favorite thing when I was younger
Bill Cosby wad a brilliant comedian. One heck of a great comic actor too. Yes he is also an imperfect human being but as I don't know the circumstances I won't condemn him.
I don't care, I just love Bill Cosby. When I heard what President Carter said in regards to Bill Cosby. I was mad. Even in his age he is the funniest. Especially this one. I'm going to share it with the Dentist I have.
No I have definitely changed my mind with what happened to me. A Lawyer who was suppose to help me with this neighbor, he was 83, he expected that I thought I wanted to fool around. He is a married man, I backed up and said I'm here to have him help me. So I never went back
When I first saw this movie I laughed my head off. This was Bill Cosby at his best. People talked about how funny and clean the routines were. True and right on the mark. However, no matter if you are black, white, pink, purple or whatever color these are stories that we all can relate to. I wish more black comics would forget the race stuff in there acts and go down this same path that Bill Cosby showed us. We're all way closer on things than apart. Great concert.
"You put the needle in my mouth, my face went down like this, my bottom lip is on the floor, and I can't live like this now." ROTFL!!! Bill Cosby is a legend.
Funniest stand-up that I've ever seen. I have never laughed so hard to this day or when I was 10 years old in my entire life! See what you will about the man, this shit is funny
This is so incredible. It's been a while since I watched wholesome humour that was so funny. I hope that new great comedians will choose to go wholesome and not raunchy like most comedians these days.
Definitely. I had a root canal earlier this year. And even the needle was painless, because she put a numbing agent in first before she put in the needle. And all during one visit...
When I was little I used to love this so much to the point where I could recite it perfectly...
Almost 10 years later, I'm still choking with laughter
Me too 🤣
You are not alone! 🤣
Same here. Used to fall asleep listening to "Himself" and "For My Brother Russell..." every night on cassette when I was 7 or 8. It wasn't until decades later seeing these videos on TH-cam that I realized there was a ton of material edited out so it would fit on the tape.
Thorne Parke I hear it’s not unusual to fall asleep too Bill Cosby.
Yep thats me!!🥃
I was about 10 when i first saw this and it was soo funny that i remember like it was yesterday🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm an aspiring dental student. If I ever own a practice I want to play this set for my patients in the waiting room.
Sadist , hehehehe!
Yea, just have plenty of shots of versed and the laughing gas ready for them when they get in your chair. I like the oral surgeon approach with the IV of versed, fentanyl, and pentothal in a carefully timed concert of anesthetic bliss.
I think Joey will come across some beautiful teeth!
That's classic
I wouldn't now...
I remember watching this whole show on VHS with my dad, as well as listening to other Bill Cosby routines on vinyl. Comedy doesn’t need to be raunchy to be hilarious. I will always cherish those times of pure laughter with my dad.
for what ever issues he may have had... dude could make folks laugh.. with out being "dirty"
one of the greatest stand up skits of all time
Holy lmfao
Absolutely. Bill Cosby - Dentist & George Carlin - Modern Man. True, clever analogies, extreme contrast between reality and what should be. Proof that man is insane. Brilliant. NO DIRTY WORDS!!!
Check out "Chocolate cake for breakfast"
I can remember my dad, a retired dentist, howling with laughter over this album and he was right: this is hilarious! I am not a dentist, but the bit on seeing and smelling smoke from your mouth was awesome.
"Do you ever do any fishing?"
"AH ahhhh ahhhh"
"Where do you usually go?"
"AHH ahhha ahhhh"
"Yes I've been there many times myself"
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So he pulls the needle out, puts this thing in your mouth.
"ahhhhhhhhhggg"
this will suck up your face...
and the dentist goes out to laugh at you. here you are grown intelligent human being arguing with this thing...
Good clean comedy. Thanks Bill. We need more of you in 2014 and beyond. You're a 'True' pioneer.
Comment that don't age well
It's still funny.
Terrible man, but this was a good skit. Let us enjoy it at least, man is gonna rot in prison. Don't punish comedy fans tho.
I went to the dentist the other day, and this is the EXACT thing that came into my mind as the dentist was picking at my teeth. Had a badly decayed tooth, and had it drilled and filled. Thank goodness for modern painkillers...
+Steven Gordon And then I took the DVD of this to my dentist yesterday, and just as this part came on was when he took the iron hook...
How can I ribinse?
It’s nice to go back to old school Bill Cosby, and remember him as the comedian he was before learning what we know now
1983 and the dental experience is still EXACTLY the same. Great observational humor
I watched this with my parents and my older brother when I was like 9 or 10 years old. It was an HBO special and were hysterical the whole time. One of the funniest comedy routines I ever saw 😂
This to me was his funniest skit.
Listened to this years ago on a flight, I was literally wetting myself.
Regardless of what he may have or have not done this was comedy at its best. No cursing, profanity or human denigration in order to get a laugh.
HE WAS ALMOST AS GOOD AS RED SKELTON, AND HE DIDN'T CURSE EITHER
So true. I saw him back in the 80's in Atlantic City, NJ. 2 hours of comedy genius, had me in tears laughing and not 1 curse word.
He literally said "asshole" five minutes before this clip on Himself...
Alex Vidal DUUUUUURRRR.
One cuss word. When he was talking about cocaine and when he asks why people use it and one person said that "it intensifies your personality", and bill comes back with "but what if you are an asshole?"

This brings back memories. I watched it with my mom, brother and step dad who is with Jesus now. I loved to watch Bill Cosby-himself
This gets me cracking up every single time. He is truly one of the masters of comedy!
This is one of the greatest comedic bits ever!! Genius!!
Does anyone else have a hard time trying not to think about this while at the dentist? If I do I start laughing!
I do!!
I did last time when I was there.
Same here. Think about it every time I'm there
Just had a root canal this afternoon, and it was all I could think about.
I do everytime I'm at the dentist and she has a hard time fixing my tooth.
I've watched this numerous times and still as funny as first time I saw it
*Picks his lip up* "Dboo byoo sbee thbbisbs?" I die every time.
One of my favorite parts of this skit...😂🤣🤣
I had tears streaming down my face, it felt so good to laugh that hard!
i turned this on and instant and consistent laughter!
Smoke smoke smoke!!! What I - I don't understand.......FIRE!!! My favorite part
Mine too. I don't care what this guy's story is with the ladies, he was a comedy legend in his day.
+Kyle Stubbs PREACH IT!!!!! Amen
Madison Reams ooo
Mine too
Rinse
I’ve seen this many times over the years but after having just watched it I was surprised to see that it still has me shaking and gasping for breath.
I was at the dentist yesterday and I told the asst about this and she said she never saw it!!! WHAT???? How can you be in the biz and never have seen this??? I told her she had to watch it...funniest thing ever!
Got the same reaction when I told the folks at my dentist office.
This and little shop of horrors, the Bill Murray scene in particular, needs to seen by everyone that works in a dentist office
Love the way this man can do comedy - great comedy - without having to resort to excessive cussing and vulgarity. I've watched a number of his videos, and it's something I wouldn't hesitate to let a kid listen to.
"Ebbeff-ebba-seebee-eebbee. Mubbee-febbis." That's Mush-Mouth from "Fat Albert & The Cosby Kids." BRILLIANT!
I grew up on Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids 😇
You spelling out what Bill tries to tell the dentist has me laughing so hard I'm crying!! 🤣😂
@@LauraRyan2007 Thank you!
Had 2 teeth pulled today and had to come home and listen to this! This is about as funny as funny gets!
Many times those blessed with extraordinary talent have the most challenging demons.
Challenging? He was a rapist
I am still in excruciating pain from my morning visit, but this made me feel so much better. Bill Cosby is a genius.
What did you have done?
This had me in stitches when I was 5, and now as an adult it still cracks me up!
This may be the single funniest standup routine in the history of comedy!!!!
nah your just old
@@kingpin7kingpin749 *you're
kingpin7 kingpin7 which means he’s seen more then you and knows quality when he sees it
Well he is standing up inside while seated.
@@ToriHiragana Nah you're just old and your brain has shriveled up
I was just at the dentist and posted this on my Facebook 😁 absolutely love it ! ALWAYS makes me laugh
My sister saw this live and we were both very pregnant, we almost went into labor laughing so hard.
First heard this in 1986, sitting in a dentist's chair awaiting the extraction of two wisdom teeth (no lie!!!) It was hysterical then, and is every bit as funny now! Love this routine - and love this man and his comedy!!
LMAO Cosby is great!!! I never get tired of hearing his stand up!!!
"This will suck up your face."
Why does that crack me up EVERY TIME?
Thanks for sharing this great comedian's sketch! I grew up on Bill's humour in the 60's .. my dad was an avid fan and had a lot of his albums and used to laugh so hard that my mum used to warn him he may have a heart attack if he carried on! I laughed like that tonight! Priceless!
"Obukaybe" became a regular part of my vocabulary after I watched this special for the first time
Brilliant. I laughed so much, tears came down my face. I wanted to laugh loud but I couldn't because I didn't want to wake up my nephew. I was watching this comedy at 5:30am. October 20,2019. Thanks You Tube for uploading this.
The Dentist skit by the Cos is hilarious. My sides hurt from laughing so hard. I've seen it more than once and it is still good for a good, hearty laugh. True comedy.
You see this? Thibis is is my bottob libip. It wasn't like this when I came in here.
😆😆😆😆😆
"Well, I'll fix it."
Lol
FIBREEEE!!!!
The fact that people are commenting & trying to spell out his gibberish is making me laugh harder than hearing Bill say it! 🤣😂
My father recorded this stand up on vhs and played it daily when he would be getting ready to go to night shift at GM. It would be just staring when I walked in the door from school. I would be on the living room floor going back and forth between it and my homework.
But as soon as he was out of the driveway...vcr off and channel 4 fox on for GI Joe and Transformers.
This is the Best Standup Comedy.the way Cosby continuum to get you laugh is amazing.
He may have committed crime, but he was one of the best comedians of all time!
"Oh look! A rainbow!!!" KILLED ME HAHAHA XD
I agree
Im laughing so hard because I just came from the dentist and this is so true. Yes. My bottob libip is still numb. Actually my whole mouth and left side of my face is numb
Love this! It's my favorite. And yes, I think about it when I'm at the dentist.
Bill Cosby is a VERY funny comedian, and this dentist skit is the one that makes me laugh to abdominal pain the hardest!
That was funny when he was talking like Mushmouth from Fat Albert :)
despite all the allegations and all the bullshit he had against him, still Cosby was incredibly talented and a VERY funny man. It's almost tragic
Facts 💯💯💯
How about when they cut your gums with their metal hook and they say "Your gums are bleeding, you need to floss more."
Exactly 🏴
What better way to combat gloominess then with laughter!! It's a scientific fact that laughter, no matter the length, a burst of laughter, to a lengthy, big-belly laugh, accompanied by tears of sheer joy is HEALING for the spirit, soul, and body.

Good to know i grew up with good role models.
the first time i saw this i literally cried laughing
"The dentist's goes outside to laugh at you!"
I absolutely LOVE this, because he's amazing, and I can so relate cuz I HATE dentists.
still makes me laugh so hard that I cry
When I was ten I had this entire routine memorized. When he did it to finish his routine the last time he was at the Fox here in Atlanta I felt like a child again.
I remember watch the Cos/by show when I was younger... It was the b/est show ever. Made me who I am today... he'll be missed.
Excellent comedy by the great Bill Cosby
2019 “Respect and dignity.”
i remember watching this with my dad on a dvd a few years ago @ dinner.
we had to turn it off because we couldnt eat.
funniest man who lived
I'm watching this at my dentist appointment.😁
Frickin' comic genius. He takes a common experience everyone can relate to and makes it absolutely hilarious! I'm impressed how he stays in character the whole time--no acknowledgement that he's said anything funny.
No filth flarn filth flarn filth in this comedy routine, that's for sure!
Just had dental surgery (tooth extraction). I feel exactly like this.
"O-BUH KAY-BEE!"
I remember that from the Cosby Show. :)
I was at the dentist today, and usually I try to be calm, and sometimes I think about this skit. Thought about it today and was trying to stifle my laughter. This special was my favorite thing when I was younger
I had a filling last week. Bill Cosby summed up the experience perfectly, 40 years earlier!
Bill Cosby wad a brilliant comedian. One heck of a great comic actor too. Yes he is also an imperfect human being but as I don't know the circumstances I won't condemn him.
Nobody's a perfect human being.
Love this. It’s my favorite Bill Cosby routine. The man is Funny. Goes to show you don’t need profanity to be funny.
I don't care, I just love Bill Cosby. When I heard what President Carter said in regards to Bill Cosby. I was mad. Even in his age he is the funniest. Especially this one. I'm going to share it with the Dentist I have.
No I have definitely changed my mind with what happened to me. A Lawyer who was suppose to help me with this neighbor, he was 83, he expected that I thought I wanted to fool around. He is a married man, I backed up and said I'm here to have him help me.
So I never went back
Best standup ever!
This skit gets me every time, I'm in tears right now!!

I wish more black comics would forget the race stuff in there acts and go down this same path that Bill Cosby showed us. We're all way closer on things than apart. Great concert.
I think I need a defibrillator, or oxygen! Not sure which, all I know is that I couldn't BREATHE for a solid couple of minutes!!!
This is classic. "You ever do any fishing?"
In a dentists chair as I type this... Pure gold
I cry lmao every time I watch this!!!😂
It also lessens my anxiety at the dentist's office...
The scene in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace where Jar-Jar's mouth goes numb totally rips off this routine.
This is SOOOO true!
"You put the needle in my mouth, my face went down like this, my bottom lip is on the floor, and I can't live like this now."
ROTFL!!! Bill Cosby is a legend.
Bill is the best. I enjoyed him when I was young and now when I am a senior. Thank you BIll!!!
Bill is iconic legendary man this man was super incredible talented
Funniest stand-up that I've ever seen. I have never laughed so hard to this day or when I was 10 years old in my entire life! See what you will about the man, this shit is funny
When I will se my dentist, I am quiet sure I will be laughing thinking about this video. So good, so real...
"This is my bottom lip. It wasn't like this when I came in here" "I'll fix it." "I HOPE so!"
I love how he starts off. "DENTISTS..." *pause*
I could listen to this all day without stopping.
I almost never see comedians that do clean humor. This is not only a breath of fresh air, but it's great laughs.
ha ha very funny gotta love bill !!
This is so incredible. It's been a while since I watched wholesome humour that was so funny.
I hope that new great comedians will choose to go wholesome and not raunchy like most comedians these days.
So fucking accurate it hurts.
Great one from Bill Cosby , thanks !
Poorly aged
I just had a filling done this morning and the entire time I was thinking of this skit and it got me through it all! It never fails to be hilarious.
Dentist used to be like this on Bill describes, NOT now thank Goodness, Dentistry is pretty painless now days
Definitely. I had a root canal earlier this year. And even the needle was painless, because she put a numbing agent in first before she put in the needle. And all during one visit...
Ibee saibaid, Ibee wabas wobonderberibing aboubout mybee fabace! EBEF AYBAY CEEBEE EEBEE!!!
Um...two million plus views, and NO comments? Strange.
Poorly aged
I remember listening to this in 1984 'on tape' with my Grandma who recently passed. Bill Cosby was her favorite. Thanks for posting this.
Godbless this man. I'd give so much to meet him! absolutely hilarious and a TRUE comedian!
