This is almost like an April Fools episode except it's two days later.

You know what's the worst thing about that White Owl commercial? You could replace Cosby with just about anybody, and it would still be scary. The whole "we're gonna get you" is basically the tobacco industry telling it like it is.

One thing that is lost in all of this, is that the Cosby Show was one of the most profitable shows in Syndication. All of the main actors were getting huge royalty checks off the reruns, and then that all dried up over night.

Quick honorable mention: there is a movie Cosby did in 1981 called The Devil and Max Devlin, literally the opening line for the trailer “Bill Cosby is the Devil”

So... Every single Bill Cosby commercial...?

My father worked with Bill Cosby for some promos (specifically for the show Cosby which Doug shows at 11:28). He said he was the 2nd worst celebrity he ever worked with (the first being Cybil Shepard). Cosby was completely unprofessional, full of himself, yelled at the PAs, wanted to change the copy on the spot (which he had signed off on) to do weird ideas that would have required a whole special effects team that they weren't set up for, and had apparently walked off of some of the shoots Doug is talking about leaving the entire crew with nothing to shoot (it makes me watch that New Coke commercial with a completely different mindset). To be fair, my father said the 2nd time he worked with Cosby, he had humbled himself after his son had been tragically killed, and was much more professional on set... except Cosby insisted on a room at The Plaza in New York (because he said there was construction at his house, which they later found out was a lie) and left behind a huge room service bill. God knows what happened in that hotel room in hindsight...

Forget commercial; there's a scene in The Cosby Show in which he flat out laces his family's dinner with a homemade aphrodisiac...

He should make a top 11 Dan Schneider produced scenes that aged poorly next.

I remember in one of my college classes, my english professor was telling us about how bad Bill Cosby was, and how he treated people poorly and we were like, "Bill? Bill Cosby? americas grandpa? you're crazy. Silly english professor" and than like 2 years later all that stuff about him finally got revealed. wild. wild times.

My 7th grade teacher was a huge Bill Cosby fan. So he was devastated when you know what turned up about Mr. Cosby. Hopefully he can get a laugh out of these poorly aged ads though!

[christhornycroft]

The irony to me (or maybe it shouldn't be ironic) is that Eddie Murphy literally did a joke about Bill Cosby calling him to bitch about how Eddie cursed in his shows. So apparently, it's okay to drug and assault women as long as you don't use a word some idiots have decided is "bad." Wow. Is everyone a hypocrite at this point?

Given that you once focused on Nickelodeon for an entire month, you might want to do another "poorly aged" Top 11 for that network.

[theminuteman]

What’s even scarier is the fact that Cosby (at the time) is probably younger than Doug in these commercials.

[Morgil]

As someone who grew up with all the wholesome, family friendly Bill Cosby tv shows, movies and commercials, it still feels so incredibly sureal and hard to believe about what he actually did.

[justindenney-hall]

Anyone here seen the "Cosby Show" bit involving his "Special" BBQ sauce? That's the biggest example of something involving Pill Cosby that hasn't aged well that I've seen personally😬

[jaysonpressley]

Bill Cosby with a mustache holding what's essentially a penile stand in while saying "We're going to get you! Me and White Owl are going get you! We got you!" like he's hopped up on "powered sugar" is one of the most unnerving things I've ever seen. It literally creeped both me and my wife out.

[reviathan]

I still remember the Ghost Dad review at the start where NC said Bill Cosby has a good reputation.

[Keir-dqgt]

I used to work book sorting at a donation shop and ANYTHING by this man was to be immediately fed to the trash compactor. You'd be shocked how many copies of his book "love and marriage" I've seen be crushed.

[koneheadcokehead]

To quote the late great Norm MacDonald and something i'm sure Bill might be thinking about right now is The comedian Patton Oswalt, he told me "I think the worst part of the Cosby thing was the hypocrisy." And I disagree. I thought it was the raping. It's my feeling most rapists are hypocrites. You don't meet many that go "I like raping and I know it's not politically correct but, by god" and people go "well, he's not being a hypocrite and that's the worst part!"

[swagzagoon]

I've never been more split between being glad and being upset we got this when I seriously thought we were getting WISH.
