Its important bit of history. This just shows how ridiculous censorship is and that by making fun of these monsters by making them a joke takes so much power away.
That guy who suggested "Bill Cosby and Hitler" in the audience probably talks about this moment to this day. It's probably part of his blessing before dinner and events.
"And finally Deer Lord, we thank you that I had the presence of mind to suggest that Hitler and Bill Cosby would make good roomates at a taping of ABC comedy show Whose Line Is It Anyway in the early 2000s. Bless that spirit of pure unadulterated cultural chaos to our bodies. Amen."

@@AladeenMusic - The new series on the CW definitely lets the cast get away with a lot more than ABC did.

@@bluejello2001 holy shit I hadn't realized how much "pandémic" had lost its shocking power on me until i read "plague" and felt the jeebies all over again
You know, if they'd just let it go, the Cosby and Hitler segment would have been the only time he got mentioned in the show. But because the director wouldn't let them do it, the rest of the episode was a running series of Hitler jokes. And that's _exactly_ how it should be.
Mock the Week had a similar bit with David Blunkett, in which the censors put a moratorium on any blind jokes - ruclips.net/video/ZwRrm7AIuaA/видео.html - it worked as predictably as could be expected.
It would be interesting if they compiled all the bits that never were and actually did them, uncensored. It's not so much the making fun of aspect, it's more "Dear GAWD what are these fool going to do with it????"

@@bradym.1598 I fail to see your point here. Yes, during that time in history everyone was slautering eachother. Honestly surprised it wasn't a genocide.
What are you talking about? All Brad did was say his name a couple of times. Ryan did a Nazi salute. This has to be the dumbest comment section. And I've seen the comments on a Joe Rogan video.
Brad knew when Drew said "Director" that the gloves were coming off! Also, at the end of the hoedown, you see Ryan whisper to Collin. "I'm in trouble now." I loved this episode!
I'd probably advise Dan Harmon not to make a Dexter parody where he goes back in time and rapes babies to prevent them from turning into the next Hitler
It's already happening man with this PC culture we got. People get fucking offended over anything nowadays and comedians are walking on egg shells because they're afraid to push the envelope.
Ali Hou You're a fucking moron. I don't think you have any realization of the fact that political correctness is a very specialized type of courtesy, and has nothing to do with a goddamn Whose Line video where they sing a fucking song.

So step outside your glass house every once in a while and recognize nuance - instead of attempting to push your agenda of insensitivity and liberal-hating at every opportunity.
Chris Floyd Absolutely. And it was natural. And a lot of that version of the show’s humor came from the banter outside of games. Aisha Tyler always felt forced.

@@a.m.gnovember151 Clearly, you have no idea that Hitler did a lot more things than wage war, and the effect he had on people's lives could be considered a victory in his effect on them. You deny that, by laughing at him instead of fearing him, that was the point.
@Jojoforpres Only if Funny or Die sees the value in me, takes a chance on me, and hires me to write a skit. I could use the income; it would be life changing. Merry Christmas.
I love Drew so much. “Just don’t make fun of fucking Hitler.” “Yeah, that’s great. Let’s make fun of the Native Americans, who gives a shit about them?” Love that he saw that double standard and called it out.
I know right? It's almost like we forgot what horrors the African and Native American people wrought upon the Jews in WW2. We really need to be careful we don't make fun of Hitler though. That would just be awful... sigh
@@PhantasmXYZ ASS! 😡 I thought he meant that Drew had said "How about Europe?" and I thought I'd missed it. I couldn't find it anywhere that's why I asked for marks. 😐
@@russellgrosser-7677 A lot of the times it’s out of his hands unfortunately. The idea was nixed not because it was offensive, but because of censorship laws elsewhere. The fact that the cast were willing to/ able to make fun of him to his face shows that he can’t be that bad
I always thought it was unfortunate that every clip of Ryan's hoedown here is cut just a little too short. If it's played out, it shows the entire audience giving him a massive standing ovation. It's so cool.
I didn't realize until just now that Ryan actually does a Nazi salute during the actual song. Right before Brad sings the line "Listen here, to what I say, as Bill Cosby says HEY HEY HEY". Can't believe that made it to air.
You can tell that the guys weren't quite sure what they could say/do around Aisha Tyler during their first season together. Once they knew her better (and vice versa) they all loosened up a bit. I'm really enjoying her and the dynamic she has with the rest of the cast now.
@@bluejello2001 na im sorry, she isn't part of the cast like Drew was. Aisha is a good looking B-lister. She's fun to look at, but really there hasn't been much she's been in to show off her comedy or acting ability, including Who's line. She is an ok host, not a good host. There are literally thousands of people they could have put in besides her that would have been better.
I hear you. I mean, Aisha Tyler is okay, but when I first saw her on the show, I had that Harry Potter moment and said “How dare you stand where HE stood!”
I may be a female, but that then gives me the rightt to put it bluntly and say the female frankly ruined the show. Fr tho. I gave her a fair shot, shes just terrible. Not funny, makes the show feel awkward, etc.
I remember seeing this hoedown as a kid, it's funny on its own. Never understood the inside joke. It went from funny to absolutely hilarious. Improv is not easy in general but to come up with something as subtle as Ryan did...talent
It's like when they cut the last line of "If You Could See Her Through My Eyes" - I get why, but if you're going to do that, cut the song! It's the whole point of the song!
man this show used to make me laugh when I was a kid, but as an adult I'm always in tears from laughing so hard. It's like experiencing it all over again.
*oh my gosh this was amazing to see at the time there was still like controversy - like you couldn’t make fun of Hitler but you could make fun of native Americans and it could still air on TV - and they actors did a really good job at making fun of the hypocrisy of it all*
I can SORT of see it... I mean, if the directors know they're about to do something the network censors won't air, they don't want to waste everyone's time, plus this business with an audience, studios, actor schedules... time isn't cheap.
Just sad to see something that would fly by at a normal place like a theater or comedy club. Then once you post it on tv just slap that censor on the job, who does waste money paying, the space to record because they are stopping the show and time. Like there was an episode where Drew made sure to warn the 4 that they had a pastor and a 6 year old there but then commented they should have also checked the show they got tickets to. Just give Drew the censoring job and I'm sure there's things he would take to heart and mind cause its his job on the line now.
At the end when asked for a "Glamorous Profession" you can hear someone in the audience shout "Chancellor of Germany" (possibly the guy in red given his wifes reaction to it XD) and immediately after Drew says "DIRECTOR!"

@@a.m.gnovember151 Clearly, you have no idea that Hitler did a lot more things than wage war, and the effect he had on people's lives could be considered a victory in his effect on them. You deny that, by laughing at him instead of fearing him, that was the point.
"He should sprout a mustache and move to Germany!" Goddamn Ryan
That put me 6ft under 💀🪦⚰
Now, THAT aged well.
When Ryan does the NAZI salute during Title Sequence is my favorite Ryan moment ever.
And then Colin keeps himself from smiling before shaking his head in disapproval
I wanted to see them both do goose steps as they walked off at the end.
My favorite is the Tarzan has to be able to swim joke... ruclips.net/video/sDT-_pTx8-s/видео.html

@Brandon Taylor You're wrong, it was always the right hand.
It's difficult to describe how much I love this! This is what Drew Carey does to someone who tries to censor him on his own show
The way Colin physically distances himself from Ryan after his Hoedown verse is really funny to me for some reason 🤣
I guess the director did Nazi this coming.. telling five comedians to not make fun of something. I bet he was Führerious afterwards.
Anne frankly he didn't care.
@@Shockwave33 LOLLLLL
Stop concentration on the wrong thing.
@@Lutfi.H.Abdullah Everybody just goebbels the puns up
Yes, making fun of the nazis just isn't the Reich thing to do.
The Guy who suggested this was a Time Traveller from the Future.
@Jojoforpres Only if Funny or Die sees the value in me, takes a chance on me, and hires me to write a skit. I could use the income; it would be life changing. Merry Christmas.
Then he should go back again with a partner on the other side of the audience to follow up the occupation shout out.

So was Charlie Chaplin, apparently.
“Would you like some jello Hitler”? -Wayne Brady
That aged very well 👌🏾😂
Dont eat the jello
Hitler: sure, but wouldn’t you like to take a quick shower so you may be… Cleansed
Lmao @4:49 you can see the big guy in red yell “hitler” and his wife smack him as a result.
"no, not that hitler"
Hid bother?
*Rudolph* Hitler
Rin Jackson Kyle. Kyle Hitler.
"Our director, he can be quite a stickler,
If I didn't know better I'd say he's [AN INSURANCE SALESMAN]"
I love Drew so much. “Just don’t make fun of fucking Hitler.” “Yeah, that’s great. Let’s make fun of the Native Americans, who gives a shit about them?”
Love that he saw that double standard and called it out.
My favorite thing about the show is that drew just wasn’t a host he could actually improv and it was always fucking hilarious
“That was fantastic. Six million points a piece.”
"you guys really killed it out there! You got the crowd gassed up!"
I see what you did there
How is this still up. Luv it bro.
Nice
Man, if Drew had actually said that...
I feel bad for all the Jewish people who had to see them making jokes about Cosby, that man was truly a monster.
I know right? It's almost like we forgot what horrors the African and Native American people wrought upon the Jews in WW2. We really need to be careful we don't make fun of Hitler though.
That would just be awful... sigh
@@CriticoolHit don't forget the aboriginals and South American groups

Cosby and Hitler. "Give me an Occupation?" How about ... Europe? I see what you did there Drew. 😏
When's that??? Can you mark the minute, please? 😊
@@TheMoonlight2887 Between 19:39 and 19:45 but the biggest part was around the 19:42 mark
@@PhantasmXYZ ASS! 😡 I thought he meant that Drew had said "How about Europe?" and I thought I'd missed it. I couldn't find it anywhere that's why I asked for marks. 😐
Vincent Del Vecchio
I see what you did there.
@@TheMoonlight2887 I just went through all of those same steps. I feel your pain
The director unwittingly made this a very funny episode.
I'm guessing that he hasn't lived his decision down to this very day. I hated him for being a royal buzzkill.
@@russellgrosser-7677 It ended up airing though. He must have realized how funny the running gag was and changed his mind.
@@russellgrosser-7677
A lot of the times it’s out of his hands unfortunately. The idea was nixed not because it was offensive, but because of censorship laws elsewhere. The fact that the cast were willing to/ able to make fun of him to his face shows that he can’t be that bad
A t-shirt that says "Cosby and Hitler" in 2020 would be some niche ironic humor
It's January 2023 and just saw this comment, designing the shirt right now
It'd be hilarious for the first 5 mins of wearing it in public before copping the biggest beat-down of your life.
I love all of Drew Carey's comments.
The director tried to curb their creativity. Got rekt.
Their dedication to keep bringing it up in every skit, so that the original clip _couldn't_ be cut out of the final episode is truly wonderful.
They really got the director back for the “censorship”.
It was literally censorship
@@DiggitySlice I think it was attempted censorship, hence the quotes
I LOVE how annoyed Drew is about not being able to make fun of Hitler lol nice to know he's on our side lol
Turns out they weren't that unlikely roommates after all.
I still think they'd be unlikely roommates
@@RinJackson well, if Hitler was alive, he'd belong in prison too
xanithofdragons he’d just get shot by someone else
I think we can agree Hitler and Cosby were both bad
@@jjmalm Yes, but that's like saying a match and a volcano are both hot...
I always thought it was unfortunate that every clip of Ryan's hoedown here is cut just a little too short. If it's played out, it shows the entire audience giving him a massive standing ovation. It's so cool.
One of them is an insurance fellow,
The other spikes his dates’ jello.
I didn't realize until just now that Ryan actually does a Nazi salute during the actual song. Right before Brad sings the line "Listen here, to what I say, as Bill Cosby says HEY HEY HEY". Can't believe that made it to air.
You mean at 1:58?
@@saulgster Yes.
Shit ur right! Can’t believe that made air!😂😂😂😂
And I thought they were cheering Wayne fitting “annuities” in the song
Drew was such an underrated part of this show. Kind of like the glue that made it all go together. That's why I couldn't get into the new one.
I felt that way when Drew first took over hosting. Liked it better with the previous host. Changed my mind after awhile of course.
You can tell that the guys weren't quite sure what they could say/do around Aisha Tyler during their first season together. Once they knew her better (and vice versa) they all loosened up a bit. I'm really enjoying her and the dynamic she has with the rest of the cast now.
@@bluejello2001 na im sorry, she isn't part of the cast like Drew was. Aisha is a good looking B-lister. She's fun to look at, but really there hasn't been much she's been in to show off her comedy or acting ability, including Who's line. She is an ok host, not a good host. There are literally thousands of people they could have put in besides her that would have been better.
I hear you. I mean, Aisha Tyler is okay, but when I first saw her on the show, I had that Harry Potter moment and said “How dare you stand where HE stood!”
I may be a female, but that then gives me the rightt to put it bluntly and say the female frankly ruined the show. Fr tho. I gave her a fair shot, shes just terrible. Not funny, makes the show feel awkward, etc.
Now days the director would say “nope, no we can’t have bill cosby in a skit”
I remember seeing this hoedown as a kid, it's funny on its own. Never understood the inside joke. It went from funny to absolutely hilarious. Improv is not easy in general but to come up with something as subtle as Ryan did...talent
"Don't make fun of Hitler"
Rest of the show is every other word
"HITLER"
at 4:47, the man in the red shirt yells hitler multiple times until his wife hits him
hhaaha
The fact drew didn’t let it go was amazing lol
You know they would never allow this on air today, either. Nobody would want to join Cosby as a roommate.
Maybe Harvey Weinstein
I watched it on reruns. They have a content warning added at the beginning of the shows.
Nah Cosby would be a fine roommate, just pour your own drinks.
R.Kelly
I saw this recommended and instantly my thoughts turned to “oh this will have aged well”
This reminds me of feedback Patton Oswald used to get as a comedy writer:
“The Hitler sketch is funny, but does he have to be so anti-Semitic?”
Pusher Love Man he killed his wife
@@SNNetwork what?
@@SNNetwork you think he made her OD or what
It's like when they cut the last line of "If You Could See Her Through My Eyes" - I get why, but if you're going to do that, cut the song! It's the whole point of the song!
@@SNNetwork no
man this show used to make me laugh when I was a kid, but as an adult I'm always in tears from laughing so hard. It's like experiencing it all over again.
*oh my gosh this was amazing to see at the time there was still like controversy - like you couldn’t make fun of Hitler but you could make fun of native Americans and it could still air on TV - and they actors did a really good job at making fun of the hypocrisy of it all*
Really can't believe they even have a censor for an improv show. Just so nonsensical.
Well it’s so they can’t get taken off the air for being “too offensive”
the network knew what they were getting into buying this show lol plus drew is pretty good at managing them, the whole point of him on the buzzer
@G that's funny...have you seen the garbage on tv? Besides, it's the left wing lunatics that need safe spaces that are all up on being offended.
I can SORT of see it... I mean, if the directors know they're about to do something the network censors won't air, they don't want to waste everyone's time, plus this business with an audience, studios, actor schedules... time isn't cheap.
Just sad to see something that would fly by at a normal place like a theater or comedy club. Then once you post it on tv just slap that censor on the job, who does waste money paying, the space to record because they are stopping the show and time. Like there was an episode where Drew made sure to warn the 4 that they had a pastor and a 6 year old there but then commented they should have also checked the show they got tickets to. Just give Drew the censoring job and I'm sure there's things he would take to heart and mind cause its his job on the line now.
Drew Carey is worth $165,000,000. He doesn't give a tinkers damn what the producers think.
Drew and Ryan were both producers, so they can get away with a lot more than they normally would have.
@@Eidlones yeah they also both loved to use show time to make fun of the drew carry show. Which they both stared in.
He was a producer. So that explains it. Producers are over the directors. 😉
At the end when asked for a "Glamorous Profession" you can hear someone in the audience shout "Chancellor of Germany" (possibly the guy in red given his wifes reaction to it XD) and immediately after Drew says "DIRECTOR!"
I love the retaliation from the whole cast.
I remember watching this 20 years ago, and it had stuck in my memory as one of its most memorable episodes. The final hoedown made it perfect.
Been watching this show for like 12 years and I've never seen this before haha thanks for uploading
NEVER tell a comedian that they can't do X, because they will double down.
It never ceases to amaze me how great Ryan Stiles is.
Omg when ryan said "not that Hitler" I'm like I'm done goodnight everyone
I'm honestly curious what the dude in the red shirt said at 4:48 that made that woman hit him.
i think he actually says hail hit l e r
Rainbow Pancake He yells "dictator" for a glamorous occupation
Hooker??
applejacks971 I stand corrected dear sir. I feel like yours is right
yeah it's either Hitler or Dictator, but the way his lips are moving suggests the former
wayne impersonating bill cosby killed me.." would you like some jello,hitler?" 😂😂
