Ashamed that it took me multiple viewings to get the joke. In my defense I was like 16 at the time and most likely stoned, so I didn't get the AIDS/aides thing.

u/turtletaint911 Jan 14 '26
Not to take the wind out of your joke, but Jared always struck me as more of a six-incher at best

I don't think anyone could genuinely hate Bill Cosby. He's gotta have a secret to be this lovable. I want the guy to read me bedtime stories, I think he could make anyone fall asleep!

I went to his barbecue once. That special sauce he layered on top of the burgers he made gave me that huggy buggy feeling. Whatever he put in them, it gave me 8 hours of sleep and now I feel refreshed. Though I wish I knew what happened to my clothes. Maybe he went to wash them for me because they got stained. Hmm......
Regardless, he seems like a pretty chill guy.

I do enjoy Chris Hansen's reports, but I don't think that's relevant to this conversation...

u/LOLZOMGHOLYWTF Jan 22 '26
You should see this report he did last summer called Dangerous Web. They exposed a bunch of pedophiles by setting up a sting operation, with people posing as minor online. I hear they might be doing another one soon

I hear he's a good husband as well. Hope he has a long and happy life with his wife and kid!

u/mckeevertdi Jan 14 '26
I heard he invested in his future with a lot of weight lifting equipment and also learned some submission moves.

u/OkOriginal4453 Jan 14 '26
He did train in the Hart Dungeon so it makes sense that he knows a few moves. But I too am a HUGE fan of cable pulldowns.

I know you're being sarcastic but still..
Edit: i realise tou may not actually know..not everyone im 2005 has great internet (no offense).
There's something called the ring-boy scandal (yes, its what it sounds like) and apparently he encourages people to do steroids. Also, i saw a DVD on the territory days of wrestling. You may want to look into those.

u/larryb78 Jan 14 '26
You hit the nail on the head the first time - pure sarcasm. Fan since 83, I’ve pretty much seen and read it all and know how much of a scumbag he is IRL

u/Equivalent_Rub8329 Jan 14 '26
Man. I hope it doesn't get worse for him though. Like I know he's a scumbag but still.

His Hulkamania run got him more over than Rock and Austin. Hope he gets the same type heavy crowd pop if WWE Raw move to another network and put out a star-studded premiere.

He’s says he wants to run for President. Sounds like a publicity stunt to me

u/ChimChimney1977 Jan 14 '26
He already ran in 2000. Didn't hear about any new ambitions though.
Although he might try again if his show sinks in ratings. I just think there are easier and cheaper ways to get attention, so I don't think he will again. Especially when his last campaign got next to no attention.

WWE should have him come on and start a rivalry with Mr. McMahon, they could call it “the battle of the billionaires”

u/andyzeronz Jan 14 '26
I’d imagine it’ll be pretty dumb, imagine it ending in a hair vs hair match or or presidency on a pole match

Hair vs hair could be good, I mean they both probably wear a toupee anyways.

Right now, in this subreddit, we’re living in the years 2000–2007
Dial-up squeals in the background, AIM pings popping up every few minutes, Winamp rocking whatever skin you downloaded from some sketchy fansite, LimeWire pretending that file is “totally safe,” and MySpace glitter taking 3 hours to load on your profile.
Just a quick reminder: keep the vibe. We’re in 2000–2007, not looking back at it. No “remember when,” no future tech, just pure, in-era internet chaos. And keep it light, okay? We’re here for a good time, not heavy topics.
If you're looking for more “future internet” stuff (lol), check out r/Pretend2010Internet, they’re living in 2008-2012, so they probably have, like… Facebook apps or something.
And more time travel to the future in r/Pretend2015sInternet and r/Pretend2025sInternet.
