@CossandraCastle She heard this whole conversation and still had the audacity to pull a similar stunt during the next season. It’s the one where her and some middle school friends tried to sneak into a 16 and older teen club, and she lied to her parents in the process.
This was why Claire kept telling Vanessa to shut up. She knew that something stupid was going to fall out of that girl's mouth at some point. She was just trying to save her life. 😂
I love it "Shut up, don't you dare open your mouth when I'm asking you a question." Later "You better answer me when I'm asking you a question, girl." LOL
All perspective married couples and soon to be parents or parent should watch this episode and take serious mental notes 🎶. When God gives the gift 🎁 of a Child 🧒 to you. Your days of partying, embarrassing moments, and selfishness is over you old it to that child to give him or her love, structure and protection is no longer about you. When I read the comments from the sister hood circle ⭕️ abanding their roles as mothers for a moment of adult entertainment and make excuses for it is very shameful
Oh here we go again with this.I think the writers must not have written it that way because it looks too good.The actress must have adlibbed it and then the directors left it in by. The instances over the years where that has happened have been immeasurably view and far between.
Hmmm, never thought of this. Phylicia Rashad may have brought it up to the directors and they loved her idea and they expected it, but everyone opted not to tell Bill Cosby, knowing the reaction he would probably give!
And they thought she would be safe at college? That episode was directed at her levels of parental disrespect not just in delaying the announcement of her engagement, but out and out lying about how Clair and Cliff mentally and emotionally suffered through her other siblings. They should have shipped her off to...wait, no school was safe!
My husband and I use that phrase whenever we get together with our best couple friends just because of this episode. Even our group text is named "Big Fun" 😂
Moral of this episode: When you have a father who knows enough about the human anatomy to make your death look like an accident or of natural causes, and a mother who can legally make it so that the truth is never found out, or that they never find your body,... DON'T MAKE THEM GODLIKE ANGRY, OR ELSE......!!!!!!!
Claire was pretty fair and generous with her in the episode. She didn’t punish Vanessa because she was “learning her lesson” during the hangover. Plus, she made her go to school the next day although she felt very sick. That alone was her “punishment”. Oh! And when Cliff said “Nothing I can give you, no cure for this”.
I suspect that the table read had 75% of the emotional content, but Phylicia and Bill talked to the producers to say (in nice terms) this was not a "sit down and discuss moment). Go back the pilot show -Vanessa cognitive reasoning was very apparent. What I enjoyed was the certain traits of the Huxtable children remained the same as they aged -even Theo; imagine seeing the bully tends dies come out of Rudy when she is no longer the 'baby', but became the " older" representative for Olivia. Vanessa's EQ is narcissistic and disconnected to how others are affected by her behavior. "GO TO BED!" was so needed because it was a parent being a parent, literally an "I brought you in this world, " I'll take you out!"
The look of fear in Vanessa's eyes when Cliff caught Claire!!! It looked like she realized her mom might really hurt her. She slid backwards to get off that couch to avoid getting any closer to her mother. LMAO!!!
In martial arts(Takewindo, Kenpo, etc), you have two personalities: a warrior or sometimes called the tiger and a scholar. A warrior reacts without thinking. All he knows is fights. Doesn’t care about the consequences. A scholar, OTOH, thinks before he react. That’s why you see a Kenpo hand gesture meaning a person learns how to think before resorting to fighting if nothing else works.

Did you really think that the four of you could go off careening into and not one single parent would find out about it? Did you really think that, Vanessa
I told my mom once as a teen that she was supposed to be my friend and always on my side! Got told she was my parent and her job was to raise me to be a functioning adult member of society! Sometimes yes that meant she was on my side but she would never take my side when I was wrong as it would be a disservice to me to do so!
I have modeled my parenting after Claire Huxtable and Carolyn Ingles. This scene takes me to this very last week, and my youngest was very shocked to hear me angry. She better not f around and find out again. Moms do a lot of loving, and you save the angry voice for the real real moments.
"For all I know you are lying right now - GO TO BED!!" I love how even the audience gasps. This is what separates live recordings from those corny laugh tracks
Mad? That's nothing compared to how worried and scared and most of all, disappointed in Vanessa she was. Trust me, "mad" was the least of her feelings.
And you have to remember Clair is a LAWYER, so to get to that level of rage with her knowing about the consequences, just show that Vanessa really pissed them off.

She was probably grounded for the rest of the season (probably like 2 months) and had to do extra chores, curfew was probably earlier, and wasn’t allowed to see that group of friends for a least a few months.

Followed by Susan who snuck away from her grandma who was probably worried sick after that fire thing.

No, she’s being a PARENT. This is TV but parents act like that for real when their kids need to straighten up and fly right (esp when the kids are TEENS)

@@celticprincess2002I remember a man saying something like,"When Clair yells at Vanessa ,"Go to bed!" I , a grown man started going to my own bed and then remembered that I was a grown man with Teenagers myself and didn't go to bed until much later. 🤣🤭
Vanessa got good grades in school, but she was the main one getting into trouble out of all of the kids. Not that the other ones didn't get into trouble, but Vanessa was the one who was always doing something. 😂
As the son and brother of teachers, I approve of this video. lol. Kids nowadays act entitled so bad they need this kind of parenting. And parents nowadays do the “gentle parenting” that it makes kids act this way in the first place. Also nowadays, parents can’t getaway with this type of behavior without it being some sort of verbal abuse.
This was karma against Vanessa at its finest. She deliberately lied to her parents of where she would be that night and anything that could go wrong did go wrong with their trip to see a concert.
"But I'd like my punishment before I go the bed " Claire loses it and starts to charge at Vanessa Cliff steps in front of Claire to hold her back. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 As a father, I have had to save my daughters life by pulling that move Cliff pulled.
Yep, that go to bed was the last thing Vanessa was gonna experience before she stepped into the outer limits to the twilight zone of her consciousness.
Fun fact: Phylicia Rashad's performance was so convincing that Tempest Bledsoe cried actual tears. The production staff had to calm her down after the scene was done, and Phylicia actually apologized.
The fact is NOT fun, but it's heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. Reconciliation is cool with moments like this. That shout from Clair must have snagged at a bad moment in Tempest's own life.
I know parents need to be harsh with their children at times but this moment made me wonder if Clair loved Vanessa. OK maybe Clair was worried about Vanessa but she should have at least said that during her yelling.

Kids today need a mom like Claire Huxtable to straighten them out.
This is my favorite Cosby show episode of all time!
Dont you dare open your mouth when im asking u a question🤣🤣
Every time I see this, I still jump when she screams at Vanessa to go to bed. Every time. Lol 🤦🤣
I take my self to bed! Her and the original Aunt Viv from Fresh Prince of Bel Aire were Americas favorite moms and if they said go to bed the whole nation listened!
@@celticprincess2002I remember a man saying something like,"When Clair yells at Vanessa ,"Go to bed!" I , a grown man started going to my own bed and then remembered that I was a grown man with Teenagers myself and didn't go to bed until much later. 🤣🤭
Claire’s face as she hears Vanessa “sorry” is classic 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 like girl that ain’t working
Clair Huxatable can read you down to your very soul and not a single curse word was used.
Now That's a Black Mother!!❤
Correction: a black lawyer mother
That's any mother that genuinely loved her children
I jumped too lol. Superb acting by Phylicia here, the anger of a mother with her disobedient teenager was so authentic.
Just like King Triton and Ariel
Perfection Phylicia... Took me back to my teen years, hey am over 50, nothing has changed... Love it too bad. Will always love this show😂😅❤❤
Nothing will ever top this scene. But I really wish My Wife and Kids had done something similar to this one.😂😂😂
Vanessa got good grades in school, but she was the main one getting into trouble out of all of the kids. Not that the other ones didn't get into trouble, but Vanessa was the one who was always doing something. 😂
She even graduated from high school early only to go college and get engaged to a 29 year old man. This girl was a mess
Even after Claire yells at Vanessa to go to bed, Vanessa still said "Mom I'm!" She still hasn't learned that you don't say nothing and just go to bed!
She’ll never get it. She’s one of those people who’ll find out the hard way what happens when you keep lying.
Legendary episode....where Vanessa was off to BALTIMORE....to see The Wretched....and have biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig fun....!!😁
When Claire screamed at Vanessa to go to bed, I was speechless even when the episode ended.
Claire had everybody stuck 😂😂😂😂
This what these kids need today in 2024
Half a gnat's brain
Right😂
🤭😄😁😆😂🤣🤣
Thad fact that she didn’t win an award for this is beyond me
I love the Cosby show 💜🥺
And just like that......we all went to bed. 😆😆😆😆😆😆
3:26 Cliff is like: I’m tagging in
Cliff saved Vanessa from sudden death that day. Claire was ready to commit murder.

😅😅😅she was an attorney 😅😅😅
As the son and brother of teachers, I approve of this video. lol. Kids nowadays act entitled so bad they need this kind of parenting. And parents nowadays do the “gentle parenting” that it makes kids act this way in the first place. Also nowadays, parents can’t getaway with this type of behavior without it being some sort of verbal abuse.
Yes. Exactly.
This was karma against Vanessa at its finest. She deliberately lied to her parents of where she would be that night and anything that could go wrong did go wrong with their trip to see a concert.
Now that's how parents should be parenting. Kids get away with everything today. Parents take note!
In the Huxtable family... Lying was the ultimate offense and not once, tolerated.
One of my favorite shows, I was a kid in the late 1980s. Shout out to Brooklyn.
"But I'd like my punishment before I go the bed "
Claire loses it and starts to charge at Vanessa
Cliff steps in front of Claire to hold her back. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a father, I have had to save my daughters life by pulling that move Cliff pulled.
Yeah Clair was wrong for that for the way she treated Vanessa like she didn't do anything stupid when she was Vanessa's age.
Yep, that go to bed was the last thing Vanessa was gonna experience before she stepped into the outer limits to the twilight zone of her consciousness.
Fun fact: Phylicia Rashad's performance was so convincing that Tempest Bledsoe cried actual tears. The production staff had to calm her down after the scene was done, and Phylicia actually apologized.
This is why Mrs Rashad needs her flowers...
The fact is NOT fun, but it's heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. Reconciliation is cool with moments like this. That shout from Clair must have snagged at a bad moment in Tempest's own life.
I know parents need to be harsh with their children at times but this moment made me wonder if Clair loved Vanessa. OK maybe Clair was worried about Vanessa but she should have at least said that during her yelling.
@@ellebee690 She did. "You have taken us from levels of... etc. and now taht we know you're okay, RAGE."
This is off topic but Vanessa’s outfit and hairstyle are lovely.
I know eh! I love some of the styles from back then!
I agree!
I used to love seeing their outfits each week, especially Denise’s.
Was just going to say this.
I don't know what's worse. Theo's weekend party or Vanessa's night with the Wretched. Both events were very bad. The sista came out of Claire 👏
At least, Theo had some remorse...
Would been great to put the two incidents together
Parenting 101 right there
This is reminds of Roseanne where D.J stole a car, Roseanne made him work at the diner to pay off his fine
Except Clair didn't spank her.
Neither did Cliff.
That may have been needed for Vanessa.
@sirgothnerd9297 The cops found the car in a ditch and had DJ's description. They came to the door and that's how the family found out.
@sirgothnerd9297 I didn't say he went to court. I said the cops found the car in a ditch and cam to the DOOR, as in the door to the Conners' household, and informed Dan and Roseanne of what had happened.
If Vanessa was in a Latino family, not only she would get yelled at, but she would get hit with the chancleta (slipper)
