[Man]
FOX television proudly presents...

the world's very first condom commercial
on network television.

Did you ever notice
how I do all these routines?

See, I do the routines
about the little kids because I like kids.

But then they start to grow up
and become teenagers...

and I don't like them anymore
because they're stupid.

They're just stupid.
See, my oldest son is stupid.

The other day, I was trying
to get into the bathroom...

and he tells me that he won't let me in
because he's trying to go.

But every time he tries to go,
it feels like his pudding pop is on fire.

Now...

my boy's got back draft
going out his boxer shorts.

You see. And, see, it's all because
he didn't use any protection!

No protection, see?

This is why I'm endorsing...

the Cosby Condom.

See. The Cosby Condom.

Okay. See,
that's why, see...

And they come in
a variety of colors...

from the red strawberry
to the lemon yellow.

They come in the green grape
and the purple passion fruit, see.

And, see,
there's even a special...

See, if you get into the box,
they give you a special one.

It's what I call the...

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"
Condom, see.

So that's why... See, when
you're with your woman, see...

and you start whispering, you know,
sweet little nothings into the ear...

and it's " farvy, farvies,
far-fa-far-far."

See, and now your tongue
is going into the ear...

then your wife, Camille's,
eyes starts going up into the head...

see, and she starts
making those sounds like...

[Gibberish]

And then she starts
making faces like, you know...

[Gibberish]

And then you feel safe in knowing
that you won't get any funky diseases.

And you always will know
you won't make any kids...

that will grow up
and become stupid!

So before you dip your spoon
into the pudding...

make sure you're
wearing a Cosby Condom!

Thank you.

[Cosby Continues] Take it from
America's most beloved father...

I'd rather be single.!

They be typing with their elbows. They all...

Or you ever check out, like, surgeons?
Like, white surgeons...

when they're, like,
doing surgery, they're like...

"Pass me the scalpel, please."
But let it be some brothers, right?

They'd be like, " Yo, homegirl,
pass me the scalpel.

I'm 'bout to cut up some ribs!"
[Laughs]

All y'all, check out.

No, hold it. Hold it.
Hold yourself, though. Hold yourself.

Hold... No, see,
hold up. Hold up.

White presidents,
they go fishing and talking about...

"a thousand points of light,"
you know what I'm saying?

But let it be
a black president, Jack.

See, we be eating the fish,
right, talking about...

"Who didn't pay
the light bill?"

[Man] And who'd want to miss
the stupid prop guy?

I'll be back.

Okay. Okay,

Sojoin us this Friday, live from

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to
the Fulton Community Film Festival.

Our first film, My Arms Are Too Short
To Slap You Upside Your Head...

will begin in five minutes.

This is it, Mama!

After everyone sees my film debut,
I'm gonna be a big star.

And they're gonna make
a Lil Magic doll...

- with adjustable hair extensions.
- Uh, Lil Magic...

We can move out of the projects
and into a trailer park...

and get a plastic pool
and put it in the front yard.

- Lil Magic...
- And you can get the fat sucked out of your butt...

- so it don't look like a bean bag chair no more.
- Oh, hush up!

- Sorry, Mama.
- Oh, that's my baby...

but you know Mama can't think
when you're doing all that talkin'!

I know, Mama!

Now look here. You stay
right here, Lil Magic...

and don't let nobody
come in this here room.

Don't worry, Mama, I won't. Not even if the most
famous producer comes to me and says...

- " Hi! You're the most talented, littlest girl...
- [Clattering]

In the whole wide, humongous,
'bubblicious,' 'bufascious'..."

- Hush up!
- Sorry, Mama.

Hey, what are
you doing over there?

Hi! I'm Lil Magic,
Miss Smile Brite, !

- See!
- Please. Sit down.

Hi!

You gonna be
a star, baby!

[Lil Magic Clapping,
Whistling]

Hi! I'm the miracle worker.

You must be little Helen Keller,
the blind and deaf girl.

You cannot see nor hear.
Come here.

Let me teach you
sign language.

Oh, you such a pretty girl.

- And I'll bet you're talented too.
- I am!

[Whispering] Now, Lil Magic.
How many times I done told you, baby...

you can't talk,
you blind.

Oh, I'm sorry, Mama.

S-Sorry.

Now, sit down.
I'm gonna teach you how to use a spoon.

[Whispering]
Go and sit down, girl.

[Straining]

No!

[Whimpering]

No!

Maybe she might
could use two.

Oh, my!

A blind and deaf girl
who can play the spoons...

and sing and dance!

♪♪ [Singing]

Go, Helen Keller.! Go.!

♪♪ [Ends]

Swallow the cane, baby.
Swallow the cane, Lil Magic.

Wait. You forgot
to set it on fire.

Oh! Sorry, Mama.

- [Audience Booing]
- That's it.

That was wonderful!

Guess you were right, Mama.
I'm gonna be a big star!

Oh, Mama knows,
Lil Magic.

You know, they booed
Todd Bridges and J.J. Walker...

when they first started,
and look where they at now.

Come on. Let's go celebrate
at the Fatburger.

- Can I have the whole hamburger this time?
- Oh, hush up!

You better put that down.
We are watching. Come on, baby.

[Cheering]

He's safe!

Don't look so down, Son.
It wasn't your fault.

Yes, it was, Dad.

I played horrible
the whole game.

I just wasn't myself.

It looks like your confidence is down.
Is there something on your mind?

I don't know.
I just don't feel...

- Fresh?
- Well, yeah.

It's hard to concentrate when you're
worried about masculine hygiene, isn't it?

Yeah. Well, what
should I do about it?

- Try these.
- Tes-T-Shields?

They're protective linings
you put in your cup...

to give you more confidence.

[Man] Each Tes-T-Shield
is filled with tiny air tunnels...

allowing cool air to circulate
throughout your cup.

At the same time, aroma sensors
release an exhilarating fragrance...

helping you
stay fresh all day.

Wow! Tes-T-Shields
does all that?

And more.
They even come with wings.

Wings?
Well, what for?

Lord knows. But the important thing is,
is they're comfortable.

How do you know
so much about this?

Son, do you smell
that pine tar?

[Sniffing]
Yeah.

I'm wearing 'em right now.

Even at my age,
I need a little more.

Wow. I'll give these
Tes-T-Shields a try.

[Cheering]

He's out!

Son, it looks like you got
your confidence back.

- Thanks to you, Dad.
- No, thanks to Tes-T-Shields.

[Man]
Tes-T-Shields from Playfree.

The manly way to stay fresh,
confident and protected all day long.

Now available in three scents...
pine tar, herbal and cowhide leather.

[Man] In the great tradition
ofblack characters in crossover films...

Sidekick's back,
and this time he's in 'Nam.

Are there real b*ll*ts
in this thing?

- Now!
- [Whimpering]

I can't take it, man.

Come on, man.
Show these bastards what you're made of!

- Now!
- You've got to be brave for me, man. Remember?

I'm the black guy.

- Oh, yeah, sorry.
- Now!

Nobody does that
to my friend!

Oh, my God.
Was I hit?

I greased him, man. Come on.
Let's get out of here!

Hey, thanks, partner. You're the best.
I'm nothing without you, man.
