SWF It Good

As I sit here watching a look back on The Cosby Show I think about how I spent most of my childhood watching that show. It truely helped shape my life, values and comedy. I think back at how funny but almost pure that show is and how it would not survive in this modern day tv environment. As I grew up in a city where crack viles laced my school playground The Cosby show showed me something that was not what was going on around me. Cooler then that, my grandparents lived in a brownstone. It attack the family element from every angle and was funny

I remember that was a show that stuck out to me. It helped shape my comedy on the light-hearted side.

• Bill Murray
• Bill Murray Sound board w/ many great movie qoutes

Ever since I was a child and I saw Ghostbusters and Stripes. I was struck by something that I didn’t see in other people on screen. Yes Eddie Murphy was funny but all so flamboyent and got his laughs from being a jerk. But Bill was light, quick witted, so sudtle. In my childhood I would say Bill was Bugs Bunny and Eddie was Woodwood Pecker, Murray was more of a get even or crafty in his sceams. Murphy just pecked your freaking head and laughed at you.

That’s what I thought was funny about him. The magic word thing with Walter Peck (Ghostbusters) and the funny spatular thing with the girl on the stove (Stripes). I still love his work. If I could meet anyone person I think he’d be in the top five or the top one.

• IMDB credits
• Comedy CD

Man, If it wasn’t for Robin Harris I would not be the person I am today. Though I was only 7 or 8 when I saw this man’s HBO special I was floored, he was so funny. Yes, he is the Bebe’s kids guy, thought he was more then just that. Iit is funny to see how many people still bit off of that bit, unfortunately many black comedians. He is the only comedian I listened to as a child and went back a couple of months ago and listened to the CD and still loved it. I tried that with Kinison, Pryor, Murphy, and others and didn’t feel that timelessness of it. I felt like with those others I could place the decade and time.

From that point on I got a wierd drawing to comedy one that I never thought would become me being a comedian. He started it all that twinkle or small thought in my head that said being a comedian would be cool.
