100 Media Things I Enjoy - #12
Bill Cosby
Bill Cosby is probably one of the funniest men I have ever watched. Now, I love stand-up, but so many of them think you have to be downright vulgar these days. They drop more curse words than a rapper manages on an entire CD half the time, and it always seems to revolve around sex. Some of that can be quite funny, but after the 5th - 15th - 50th time, its no longer amusing.
Here was a man who could be funny about a multitude of things, using very few curse words in my favorite routine, and carry it off with some dignity.
(This video is over an hour long, so make sure you've got time.)
In addition to his comedy, I love the fact that he sticks by his convictions. I love his emphasis on education and his support of jazz. People may not always agree with his opinions, but you have to respect the man and his accomplishments.
