Let me first say that I grew up watching The Cosby Show as much as any other and still love Bill Cosby for his wonderful acting, his sense of humor and his ability to entertain me with that show. What a great talent.
It pains me a great deal to see Cosby's downfall. It pains me, as an awake and aware adult, to see what appears to be yet another example of the very dark side of Hollywood being exposed, for what it is in a lot of cases, a place where good talent is mentally enslaved to act in obedience to a greater (sinister) agenda, blackmailed to do so, traumatized, manipulated and abused until they become disgusting people they otherwise probably would have never become, if not for the forces at play in Hollywood.
If Cosby is guilty, I do not make excuses for him, but I would say, he probably represents just a tip of the iceberg for what disgusting and deprived stuff goes on in high concentrations within Hollywood.
I still wonder, what happened when his son was killed along the side of the road way back when. Was this a message to Cosby, to stay in line, or was it just the random, meaningless thing that occurred to a famous celeb. Who knows, all we do know, is Cosby is wrapped up in some deep stuff, one way or another. But, I digress.
The following is a clip, with transcript below, is of a portion of an episode of the Cosby Show, titled Secret Sauce:
(scene takes place at the Huxtable Resident, in the back yard, where the family has a barbecue)
Claire Huxtable,
“I certainly is nice see them work things out for themselves.”
Cliff Huxtable (Bill Cosby),
“They haven’t worked anything out for themselves, it’s my barbeque sauce." (audience laughter)
Claire Huxtable,
“Your barbeque sauce?”
Cliff Huxtable,
“Yes, my barbeque sauce. Haven’t you noticed after people have some of my barbeque sauce, after a while when it kicks in they get all ‘huggy, buggy’.” (audience laughter)
Claire Huxtable,
“Oh, you stop.”
Cliff Huxtable,
“I’m dead serious. Haven’t you ever noticed that after one of my barbeques and they have the sauce people want to get right home?” (more laughter with the camera shifting to the two older Huxtable daughters, Denise and Sandra, sitting at picnic table - necking with their spouses)
Cliff Huxtable continues,
“Let me tell you something else. I’ve got a cup of it up on the night table.” (laughter erupts), “I’ve got a cup of it I said” (in a very devious voice)...
The scene ends when one of Rudy Huxtable’s childhood friends Kenny gets into the chicken but Bill Cosby rushes over to take it from him and wipe it out of his mouth (while the audience laughs and laughs and laughs).
This episode, in light of Cosby being brought up on charges of sexual assault, with many individuals having come out in media and for the trial to say Bill drugged them for sex, it really ends up looking like one of those 'masonic kharma spiritual tricks' was again at play:
"hey, if I tell the world what I'm up to and they don't do anything about it, its on them man, not me!"
You be the judge, but looking back now at this episode, one thing is for certain, it's not at all as funny as the audience laughter makes it sound to be, or as it likely was way back when I was a child and surely watched.
