Show-stopping scenes on "The Cosby Show" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Bill is definitely a comedy masternind. His facial expressions alone in some scenes are priceless.

A few scenes that stand out for me:

The bathroom funeral for Rudy's dead frog. Cliff is absolutely exasperated as the family (eventually even Rudy!) loses interest in paying respects to the deceased pet. (Rudy: "I'm going to watch TV!")

The two scenes (in different episodes) where the family does a song and dance performance to an old jazz tune for the grandparent's anniversary.

Cliff and the tap dance instructor trying to outdo each other.

What are your favs?

I believe it was a fish, that was getting a funeral in the bathroom. And I always thought, that it was wrong of the family to not appreciate what Cliff did.

Oh my, your right, it was a fish.

Yes, but the family's attitude was wrong, whether it was a frog or a fish.

I thought it was so cute how he was all into it and Rudy didn't seem to care much, because she was, well, a kid!!

My favorite was when he was doing that phone bid for the Charlie Parker album "Night in Taniesha". He had Alfred Phelps yelling "Fifteen Hundreeeeed"! LOL.

2) The "BIG FUN! BIG FUN!" rant. Clair went all out!

3) When Clair lit into Elvin about his macho attitude

4) Sandra busting into the house looking for her kids
