Do not watch if you hate to laugh!

This is classic Cosby. If you thought The Cosby Show was good, you'll love 'Himself.' Bill Cosby deals with the dentist, natural child birth, kids and their 'brain damage' and so much more. Bill Cosby is one of the funniest people in the world. His material is clean and for the family, that's why he's so good. He can be funny without swearing or... whatever. I watch this as often as possible and always get a pain in my side afterward from laughing so hard. Way to go Cos!
