Classics! And I love that his humor was always without vulgarity. So many other comedians confuse people laughing at stuff 'cause - "tee hee - my my isn't s/he daring to say such rude/shocking things out loud" - with actual humor.

Meh, I don't mind vulgarity at all (whatever it is we're calling "vulgarity." Cursing and sex? Part of life, really.). I'm too young to actually remember Cosby from this era.

Tangentially... I assume you know about all the comments in which he's alienated the black community (especially in the US) in recent years? Victim-blaming wrt poverty and things like that.

See, I honestly never thought that. Other than his interactions with children (which were always pretty inspired).
