what a comic. I can id with this story as I live in frisco... today, guys like him, red skelton and so on could never get on stage today.. no dirty words.. wonderful and dam funny.. thank you for the post and sharing.. love this..
Yes, I thought this was clever and funny. But today and for decades there have been comedians on TV stages who haven't sworn. One thing I think a comedian is less likely or able to do today is call San Francisco "frisco." This came out when people couldn't say "hell" on TV, but Cosby did.
Nothing is funnier than life. ^ _ ^ Living in San Francisco now for the past twelve years, every time I've played tour guide to friends and family who want to see Lombard St. I will always point out, "And if you look around here you'll see flowers planted over the remains of people who have died driving down this hill."
I believe some people have also said like, "All of his comedic genius aside, he was a moral failure." Which sounds less courteous, right? Even though you used "failings" as plural with "all," and the sentence I quoted didn't? Isn't it interesting how the order of two sentence portions makes so much difference on how a sentence sounds and is perceived... I know, it's that word "aside." It messes with audiences' brains.
Saw him twice in concert. He was absolutely it when I was a kid. "I Spy", the "Fat Albert" specials on tv, "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids", and then "The Cosby Show". (Sigh...) I'll never denounce him as the greatest story-teller of my lifetime, no matter how things turned out in the end.
I lived the first 35 years of my life in Pittsburgh, PA, USA. The hills are shorter, but just as steep. If you can properly and confidently drive everywhere in Pittsburgh, you can drive anywhere! You heel-and-toe the brake and gas before coming off the brake to give your engine some revs before releasing the clutch. That's one way of doing it, Bill.
I listened to Bill Cosby so much as a kid I used to be able to quote a lot of his jokes word for word. Those were the days
Oh man! The memories!!! My mom got me this album for my birthday (nearly 40 years ago), and I think I still have it somewhere
"Me and a Volkswagon drifted backwards into a bay"
"YOU GO TO HELL"
Best lines ever.
Followed closely by "Come around idiot come around, he can't hear me cause he's yelling at the guy behind him, come around idiot come around!"
I used to listen to these all the time when I was a kid!
Bill Cosby Great Person.My favorite comedian.Paul Allen McArthur.

the scary part is, he's spot on with it, I've driven in SF myself, my car however is an automatic
All of his moral failings aside, the man was a comedic genius.

I love Bill... Luckily I have never Failed Morally... Im the Perfect human.. Love ya Bill!!!!
His career sure took a dip. Backwards😂
Went on lumbard st. In 1995, one hell of a drive.
i love his humor
Bill Cosby was a funny stand up comic.
I did this routine for a summer camp when I was a kid and had the place rolling
Bill Cosby is a very funny fellow! I love this bit!
right!

Same here, my grandpa was his pilot for his gulfstream g4. Delightful gentleman in person I’ve met him once
Imagine this AI animated
not him doing stand up
but the actual scenario he's narrating 😅
his records were my 70s childhood

Unbelievably funny!
You want to help someone, put it AFTER you hit the dip

"Come around idiot, come around"!!

Mathew Clemence thanks!
+Madeleine Baier Our English Lit Teacher (who also taught Humor to the Burnout kids) played this record for us. The original word was "Asshole"
Just drove there in my 1983 Tercel Stick shift. My clutch is never better. It's the parallel parking that's the rub.
Wheres The Land For Crying Out Loud LOL
How did they get the echo on these tracks? That’s what I’d like to know
I love Lombard street. Prefer walking to driving it though.
Does it make any sense to put up a Dip sign 2 inches before you get to the Dip?
Nice

2:06 lol
Chuckle, chuckle, chuckle...
How'd You Die
Me And A Volkswagon Drifted Backwards Into The Bay
You Go To Hell LMAO
Lombard Street is NO joke!!!!
I have a friend who lives in San Francisco.
That's why the have cable cars in San Fran, no bus would survive. Think rolling into the bay in a bettle is bad...
Funny man!!!. Wouldn't You Think??? Nothing on us!!!!!... Though and I don't have time to rehearse....Imagine when I do.....
Hahaha LMAO 😂
