This man conducts each and every one of his routines...with no vulgarity, no bad language...and kids can safely watch and really, really laugh out loud, and so would you and everyone else...Now that's something really good...This is great humor, Sean...it's safe and good humor, in spite of his famiy problems. He's a good man.
I know exactly which ride Cosby is describing, because as a kid, I went to Willow Grove Park several times. They actually 4 different roller coasters! The oldest was "THE ALPS", which had an artificial mountain, and was so old, it required 2 park employees to ride it all the time, to operate the HAND BRAKES. I'm not kidding. There was also "THE SCENIC RAILWAY", which had small cars with 2 seats (for 4 people) which was mostly long, straight runs with some DIPS that would make it speed up as it raced between very old, tall trees. Then there was a "WILD MOUSE", the first metal-rail coaster that was mass-produced, which was a NASTY piece of work. At least once, one of them jumped the tracks (at Dorney Park in Allentown, not, to my knowledge, in Wiilow Grove). Clearly... the ride Cosby describes... was "THE THUNDERBOLT", at the center of the park. The first, biggest drop, was a 180-degree left turn from top to bottom. About halfway thru the ride, there was another 180-degree turn, but I think the high point was in the middle of that turn, with the cars tilted about 45 degrees to one side as it went around the curve. I was too young to ride some of those things, but was slowly working my way up as I grew. Unfortunately, Willow Grove was sold to a new owner around 1972, who tried to turn it into a "wild west"-themed park. After one year, they let the place go to hell, and the 2nd year, it was so BADLY-managed, that there was no 3rd year... the place closed down, was TORN down, and a 3-story shopping mall has been there ever since. About the same time this happened, Hershey Park in Hershey PA-- adjacent to the chocolate factory-- was saved from also being torn down, and instead, was expanded to triple its original size, and became so successful, it got hard to get on rides because the lines got so long.........
Other people who were not funny, but psychotic, made those choices to disgrace themselves by falsely accusing Dr. Cosby. Other made equally bad choices to believe these psychotics.
For all the pious haters that love kicking and shaming mistakes of the high and mighty I don't care and kiss my $$# cuz I grew up on this genius and the comedy and laughter and the stories got me through an abusive childhood the laughter gave me hope when there was none and I refuse to turn my back on genius
Cracking all of the way up listening to the Greatness of Dr. Cosby! Greatest of all time without even really cussing! GAAAAD DAAAGGG!!! ✊🏾😂
I can listen to this man for hours....😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Real tears falling from my face. My moms used to have this on a record and I listened to this endlessly...tears in the 80's tears in 2016 Jack

One of the great standup routines... THANKYOU!!!
Happy 83rd birthday Mr. Cosby.
He was such a funny man, who made millions laugh and smile. It's a shame he made the choices he made, that landed him where he is now.
Other people who were not funny, but psychotic, made those choices to disgrace themselves by falsely accusing Dr. Cosby. Other made equally bad choices to believe these psychotics.
And who knows if all then claims were true
Simple...what Cosby does is hilarious, and anyone can watch/liste, and safe..you can show your kids this

HEY MAN, WE DONE RUN OUT OF TRACKS.
Before Kriss Kross there was Roland.
Hey man, we ran out of tracks!
A wino with bad feet!!😆
Why is this not on Apple Music
I wonder if Willow Grove Park really had a roller coaster that wild. It would have put all the coasters in Cedar Point to shame.
Yeah it did.
Reminds me of the original wooden Colossus at Santa Clarita, CA's 6 Flags Magic Mountain
@@patjones4250 Interesting. Too bad it caught fire, only to be replaced with the "Twisted" Colossus, which is made of steel.
Yeah, esp with termite-eaten wood!! XD
From 5:46 to the end of the ride. XD
What! That has nothing to do with wat he said...
