Hannibal Buress vs Bill Cosby

[iamgine]

[DeuceWallaces]

Cosby is a huge name in the comedy world. Since the early 60s. That show is usually ranked a top 5 sitcom all time (number 1 by a lot.)

Andrew Dice Clay
Janet Jackson

He was a huge name in the comedy world. Now he's a walking parody and fodder for modern comedy. I mean Burress and Stern roasted Bill for a half hour yesterday morning.

Maybe a top 5 black sitcom.

Those two were not black-booked. Dice was a one trick pony who still tours the country, and JJ just got old after 20 years of hits.

We're talking about Bill Cosby here, he's a hot commodity. Studios are dying to make Ghost Dad 2 and don't want to cross him.

It already started production. It's called Ghost Grandad.

Bill Cosby has a lot of pull in the entertainment industry. Execs will be very afraid to cast Buress in anything. You cast Buress, then you want Cosby? You aren't going to get him and your whole project goes down the toilet. Big mistake, Hannibal.

This is not a scenario that would have happened even ten years ago. Nobody is giving Cosby a starring role anymore. Hell, probably not even a supporting role. Andrew Dice Clay is a "hotter" comedian than Cosby now because he at least did that Woody Allen movie.

I wonder how this will go over with the black community?

You seeeee the kids, they listen to the rap music which gives them the brain damage. With their hippin and a hoppin and their bippin and a boppin. So they don't know what the sexual assault... is all about.

Hannibal is probably my favorite comedian ATM... Anyone else come close?

Bill Burr? He's got a new special coming out in a month and a half too. I'd put Louis above him as well, but I'm struggling to think of another that I would absolutely put over Buress. Joe Rogan's a close one.

isnt cosby kind of hated by the black community nowadays?

Because he puts all of the problems (or at least a majority of the blame) on black people.

Hannibal Buress has recently done a stand up bit about the beloved Coz. But it's not an Eddie Murphy or Chris Rock top bit. This bit gets serious. It's about rape. Not how would it be if rape a woman. Apparently he did, 13 times! WHAT! He's been accused of rape 13 times. Howhas anyone never known of this.

I wonder how this will go over with the black community? Some things are off limits. A young Chris Rock got a thrashing in his early daya for doing Miles Davis is so dark jokes and speakinf of Johnny Carson's illegitimate children. Katt Williams has been somewhat blackballed.

Bill Cosby has enough power to end Hannibal Buress' bright career. True or not, was this a smart move on Hannibal's part?

do you mean sexual assault? I think there's a difference, but yeah, I've known this for a while. I've also known that Bill Cosby is batshit crazy and needs to sit the **** down and not have an opinion on everything black people do wrong. He's as Uncle Tom as they get.

Yeah, and Hannibal Buress was basically just he voice that delivered the message. Sit you're old, self-righteous ass down and be quiet.

I feel like this thread was made in 80s.

Cosby can barely complete a sentence now. Dude isn't ending anybody's career.

That Hannibal dude isn't funny either. Dude style is kinda weird and slow.
