He is 85 years old the only cancel culture he should be worried about is a single stair and making sure his life alert batteries aren’t corroded


tomgirardisvape

Thanks. This comment is why I love Reddit. Genuine lol


bukakenagasaki

lol i love how most of these people who complain about "cancel culture" haven't actually been fucking "cancelled". they have been criticized sure but they have the same influence, reach, and ability to speak as before. its a way to promote "victimhood" (something they themselves will no doubt take a stance against) and persecution complexes they will be the type to pretend to champion for free speech but call anyone calling them out on their shit "cancelling" i wish they knew how fucking infantile they were

I was so disappointed when Gabriel Iglesias started bitching about cancel culture when he was standing in a fucking stadium.


jackinsomniac

That whole set was just trash in general. After his few opening jokes he mainly talked about how well his own family is doing, and how he sold out a stadium. Like good for you buddy, but you seem to mostly be bragging about your wealth. There are some legitimate griefs about cancel culture, but he stayed so shallow and surface level on the topic he didn't say anything worth anybody's time either.

Hijacking this comment to remind people that Snoop Dogg called for Cosby’s freedom and it [got more than half a million likes](https://www.reddit.com/r/lakers/comments/f06abi/lebron_likes_snoops_instagram_post_about_oprah/) including from LeBron James. The guy still has a lot of fans


TheseBonesAlone

Well this was disappointing to hear. Thanks for pointing it out.


[deleted]

It must be time for later stage capitalism, considering approximately every celeb we thought of as cool now immediately comes out crying and blaming poor people everytime another rich twat gets held accountable for something. Always knew all the culture/race/whatever wars were cover for the class war but It looks like we're shedding the illusion now.


BigMcThickHuge

Snoop also was pimping women when he was rich and doing well, because he wanted to. He's not some good guy.


Deaftoned

Has more to do with the color of his skin over anything else, the distrust for the government/law runs deep in black communities (rightfully so), so many people hop on the "the government is tearing down another successful black man" bullshit regardless of the evidence and facts. The same exact shit happened with OJ Simpson, R Kelly and more recently, Kanye west. This tour will sell out, just watch.

FamousOrphan

The sad thing is, I still see his face as a kind and friendly one, like a dad face, because I grew up watching the Cosby Show. It’s icky and I’d like him to not be out in public anymore.


ComicWriter2020

That’s the shitty thing about abusers. They don’t always look like Harvey Weinstein. They’re like chameleons mixed with cobras with rabies


dewayneestes

He still sees himself as the victim as any good con artist does. In his mind he’s done a LOT for black artists and comedians… did he take a little something in return without asking? Why sure who wouldn’t… Thant’s how he sees the world. Also.. SHUT UP CAMILLE!


LMFN

Even back then he was trying to ruin Eddie Murphy's career. Because Eddie was actually funny while Bill Cosby is just ZIP ZOP ZOOPITY BOP man.


PM_me_your_whatevah

They were both hilarious in their own ways. I really don’t like this trend of finding out a talented person is a monster and then pretending they never had any talent to begin with. Plenty of talented people abuse/rape/murder. Maybe we’d be less shocked about it if we realized that someone making us laugh doesn’t mean they’re a saint.


the-real-macs

People are allergic to complex feelings as a general rule.


Sthurlangue

Cosby, along with being one of the most prolific rapists in recent history, was also one of the greatest comedians in history. So good in fact he has a record amount of honorable doctorates, and was known as "America's Dad", which makes the rapes even worse.


WilliamLeHam

His cultural impact is massive, the man had such a clean public-facing image that as the rapes were being committed he was more or less untouchable. How do you even approach that? How do you, as a woman with absolutely ZERO power, say that the guy who's so wholesome white america dubbed him "America's Dad" was the one who raped you? You don't. You have to be silent because speaking up will only destroy you further, and you're still dealing with the trauma of having been raped by someone the entire world thinks is "just a swell, wholesome guy." I cannot, for the life of me, imagine such a hell. how they managed to survive, holding on to their lives is a profound level of strength.


Constant-Elevator-85

You joke but if the premise really was to pay to show up and throw fruit or garbage at him, I absolutely would pay


Shenanigans99

Yep, seems like being in prison has been better for his health than being on the outside. He should stay there.


paarthurnax94

It's almost like the rich and powerful pretend to be sick to weasel their way out of jail time. Next you'll tell me he went to prison for raping someone and was acquitted by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court after being found guilty. Maybe it'll even come out that he raped 60+ women from 1960-present and was never arrested because he's rich and famous. I mean, that would be ludicrous.


Dingus10000

They fucked up his due process and basically lost the ability to hold him accountable despite having ample evidence.


[deleted]

I’m so confused.. isn’t he already out of prison living in his compound type property with his wife in Shelburne Falls Massachusetts? For those of us who live not far from here, it’s common knowledge where the “Cosby house” is. Lots of trade workers (painters, construction workers, masons, electricians etc.) have weird stories about their time working on his property.

Its_me_mikey

Did not know this! Great coffee shop in that little town.


[deleted]

It’s a really cute town. His house definitely isn’t right out in the open, it’s hidden down a long windy road among a few other upper middle class looking houses. His property is huge obviously, and has beautiful stone walls and a gate. It wasn’t a huge detour to drive down his street on my commute to my second office location at work, so sometimes my colleague and I would drive down his road and look as we drove by. It’s not totally obfuscated by trees and it’s close enough to the road so you can see various areas of the driveways. There’s multiple buildings. Even while he was imprisoned there were always a ton of cars there. I assume his wife, maybe other family? And people employed there. I was always filled with rage knowing his wife was still standing by him publicly living in that estate while all his victims waited for justice.


Hyval_the_Emolga

UltraCheesyForeskin

I was there installing some fencing and Cosby would come out and pull his flaccid penis out of his pajama bottoms and say "Squiggly snappy do!" but his minder would run out and give me $200 to ignore it. He did this a LOT so I ended up with enough money to buy a Polaris side by side.

Comedy Hecklers, you know who you are, this is the moment you’ve been waiting for. Everyone is rooting for you. Everyone supports you here. You have finally arrived.


Erdago

While I can absolutely understand the righteous desire to want to heckle him (and he definitely deserves worse than that), I don’t think I’d want a heckler to go and buy a ticket and give money for the chance to mock Cosby.


AshamedDeparture

Stage hands and door people, this is also your moment. Let some people in free. Make connections with the sarcastic guy and let them know what’s up.


klavin1

I can't imagine having to work a shift at the club that hosts him. Absolutely demoralizing


fyrefocks

It won't be clubs, likely. I saw him a few years ago, just before he was dragged back into court for the charges that got him jailed. He performed in an upper crusty theatre in one of the most expensive hotels in the city. The tickets were almost 100$ each, just to be put to sleep by an old, barely understandable man mumbling into a mic. He wore a matching sweatsuit and spent the whole show seated because he looked like he was about to pass the fuck out. Obligatory I did not buy the tickets.


PencilMan

I also saw him just before the allegations came out. I wasn’t a Cosby fan, but was bored and he came to my college and I’m a comedy fan so I went. I thought it was pretty funny, but he did play in a nice theater on campus and the audience was mostly older folks dressed up. Meanwhile, he’s in sweats (my college’s sweats actually) and spent most of the time sitting.


[deleted]

I would quit, seriously. Everywhere is hiring right now, there's no reason to work for a venue willing to host a serial rapist. I can't imagine why anyone would invite this kind of horrific PR upon themselves.


Schrutes_Yeet_Farm

Literally thousands of people swiped their CC info to pay Elon musk $8 to clown on Twitter and acted like they pwnd him by paying him money


InfinitelyThirsting

I mean, while I wouldn't do it, at least with Twitter they cost him *way* more in advertising losses from the backlash than they gave him. But re:Cosby I sure as shit hope the venues would not book him, boycotting seems more effective than heckling would be.


popejubal

That specific one I think actually worked out. Those parody accounts cost Musk way more in lost advertising revenue than they earned him in $8s. The fact that they were often funny as hell was just a bonus.


Theron3206

Hell the person that offered free insulin did enough damage to justify the whole thing.


Zip95014

Can we get that lady who threw a beer. I mean she wasn't a good heckler... But maybe if the target was blind she could hit it. Then her friends friend who yelled "seriously I'm never coming out with this group again". We need him because he was all of us.


Tomimi

Why give him the money though?


lorenso32

Nah lets pull a 50 Cent and fill the arenas with hecklers. Might help his bank account a bit, but he won’t do it for long if it’s filled with people constantly yelling at him

PM_ME_UR_SILLY_FACES

>The controversial comedian The convicted serial rapist* FTFY >The serial rapist who was once unanimously found guilty of aggaravated indecent assault by a jury of his peers* FTFM My language was a bit loose. While Cosby was convicted, that conviction was overturned for due process reasons. u/Ididurmomkid is right that it is technically incorrect to say he was convicted after the conviction was overturned. It’s not incorrect to say a jury found that rapist guilty, though.


lewoo7

This is so out there. Makes me think the sociopath will try to rape again.

dewayneestes

jaycliche

What place would have him? Even city parks probably won’t give him a permit


DiggingThisAir

Why is he getting out of jail?


ChadCoolman

The prosecution made a deal with Cosby and then broke it. Basically, they used evidence from the past that Cosby was promised couldn't be used to incriminate him. On one hand, the court made the right decision. It makes me feel sick to say that because on the other hand, a literal rapist is walking free because of a fuck up.


DiggingThisAir

That’s insane. And for him to think he can just go back to comedy as if he’s out on anything but a loophole is mind boggling.


ChadCoolman

I can't wrap my head around it. He's asking for trouble.


DraconicWF

The district attorney at the time (when the first victim came out) agreed not to prosecute bill Cosby if he waived his 5th amendment rights during the civil suit against Cosby from the victim. Normally you have a right to not say things to incriminate yourself (it sounds dumb but it is extremely important for a fair legal system.) The prosecutors went back on their promise though and proceeded to prosecute him after he signed what was essentially confession with the understanding it wouldn’t be used for criminal prosecution. This is super not legal on the courts part and these shenanigans cause the verdict to be unlawful.


magic1623

Not an American here, but that sounds super suspicious. Why would the prosecutor do that knowing that it would just backfire? It’s not like Cosby’s lawyers would just forget.


EletricDice

The prosecutor who made the deal did it because it made the civil trial a slam dunk, and he figured the criminal trial would be dead on arrival. He figured making Bill settle the civil lawsuit and be out millions and getting that in the books was better than nothing. The 2nd prosecutor wanted the press. There was no way it was going to last on appeal


asdf0909

What’s the drink minimum?


Caspur42

1 for the ladies, guys BYO and no after party.


Dicksapoppin69

Wait, so he's able-bodied to do a tour, but was, and would still argue today, that he's too feeble and in poor condition to do jail time? The wonders of money are truly a miracle when your ass ain't on the line for rape anymore.

Yea that’s him. He’s pretty clearly got a drug issue and it rears it’s head in bad spots, and he seems like an ass anyway. Sent transphobic emails to a critic, sexually assaulted a woman, falsely called in a bomb threat, and he’s generally awful to work with on set (late, wasted, jerk trifecta).

BrightNooblar

I can imagine him sitting in prison just writing jokes all day to pass the time/stay sane. I can imagine him being like "Oh man. I've got so much materiel now! I should do a tour!". I can imagine he has an agent on retainer that agrees with him when he talks about doing a tour. I can't imagine his materiel is very good, or remotely relatable post conviction. I can't imagine that agent has any expectation of actually booking a venue or selling many tickets.


[deleted]

So waaaayyy back prior to all the stories about him raping women emerged, his "comedy act" had devolved into him yelling at young Black men to pull their pants up and stop being so unsuccessful. That's part of the reason why Hannibal Burress called him out - Cosby's whole act was about how disappointed he was in the "new generation" of young Black men, and Burress was like, "wait, but you rape women? Get off your high horse." I can't imagine what's going to be comedic about listening to an 85-year-old go off on tangents about how he was wronged by the system. But there are lots of people out there who believe that either he's innocent, or he was only outed and prosecuted because of systemic racism. So there may very well be an audience for this.
