“Hi, this is Bill Cosby. I’d like you to pay close attention to this album because it’s very important. We’re going to talk about amphetamines, cocaine, depressants, barbiturates, opiates, alcohol, tobacco, hallucinogens.”

 

“Hi, this is Bill Cosby. I’d like you to pay close attention to this album because it’s very important. We’re going to talk about amphetamines, cocaine, depressants, barbiturates, opiates, alcohol, tobacco, hallucinogens.”

… Yeah, that's not a hilarious pre-punchline from Bill Cosby's heyday … that's the introduction to a children's video he made about how drugs make you sleepy. If you've been following the Cosby rape allegation news, you know just how ironic and TERRIFYINGLY FUCKED that is.

See, during the time he was drugging and serial raping women, BIll Cosby also made an album called "Bill Cosby Talk to Kids Abut Drugs," in which he illuminates the various undesirable effects of narcotics to a group of children. This album won him a Grammy for Best Recording for Children the next year.

Of course, over the past year, a cubic ton of women have come forward accusing Cosby of sexual assault in cases that date all the way back to the mid-1960s … right when he was gaining popularity for his family-friendly fun. Clearly … there was a little bit of horrific overlap between his public anti-drug crusade and his private pro-drug one. Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew fuck.

"Okay, now let’s talk about pills,” a young Cosby says in the video. “People take pills to get high. Now some pills are called downers. So, if we take a downer, it kind of makes us feel sleepy. And we think we feel good.”

Then the record slows down.

“There, you’re on a downer now,” he says to the children in a deep, terrifying voice. “That’s not much fun, is it? You thought you were going to get high but you’re just very drowsy and sleepy and bumping into people. You don’t want to bump into people."

Has Halloween come early? Has Satan crawled forth from a shadowy grave? What is this real life horror movie? That's some real sketchy shit, Cosby. We're gonna go do drugs now just to disobey your fucked up '60s orders.
