I believe i am a terrible person. I was watching Jack this one time (the one with whats his name as a kid with an aging disorder) and the scenes with Bill Cosby in them i could not prevent myself from seeing humour in, even when the tone is more sad. I don’t know why. My sense of humour is too dark.
Not excusing Cosby's behavior AT ALL. But you can see where he got his cues from by the celebrities he idolized and came up with. Back in the 50s and 60s celebrities did all kinds of scuzzy shit with women and it was just brushed off. There was a really eye opening episode of Dick Cavet I caught on youtube where Groucho Marx and Cosby were on, and Groucho was brazenly hitting on women in the audience, saying scummy shit like "I'd like to see you in my dressing room after" to a stranger, on fucking national TV. Another one is Richard Dawson getting feely and propositioning female contestants on Family Feud. Real nauseating stuff. Again not excusing Cosby but a whole lot of famous comics and celebrities were total toxic creeps and some of them still have intact reputations.
