[Wanda] Hey, word up. Welcome to
In Living Color's salute to Valentine's Day.

I'm ready to go if y'all are ready
to go for real, though. [Kissing]

[Man]
FOX presents the world's 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!

Listen, do you mind
if I go first?

I've got to get back
to the stock exchange before : .

Oh, sure, let you go
embezzle your millions...

while I struggle to
get by off of minimum wage.

I don't think so.

Homey don't play that.

- Sit down.
- I don't feel like it.

I said sit down!

- Name.
- Homey D. Clown.

Oh, yes. Herman Simpson.

We know all about you.

I'm Sally.
I'm your new parole officer.

- What's that, Sally?
- It's your file.

Let's see. " Abusive language,
failure to perform prescribed..."

Save your breath.
That's just another long list of lies...

perpetrated by the man
to keep a brother down.

Clown, please. Let's place the blame
where it belongs.

I believe your anti-social behavior
is the real problem.

I'll tell you
what the real problem is.

- The real problem is you're
nothing but a tool of the man.
- You are living in a fantasy.

- Another oppressor.
- You wanna blame everybody but yourself!

- You want to break the rules and stay out of jail!
- You don't care about me!

[In Unison]
I don't think so.

[Horn Continues Honking]

- Yeah!
- It's Homey the clown!

- Hey, Homey, does your nose squeak?
- Girl, don't touch my nose.

- Hey, clowny, do a stupid clown trick.
- Yeah!

- I'd love to.
- Herman!

- Come on!
- Yeah, come on!

Okay, childrens.
Just one stupid clown trick.

- Yeah!
- Yea!

Look at Homey's flower.
Smell Homey's flower.

[Squeals]

- [Laughing]
- Okay, run along, little children.

See? He's a stupid
weak clown.

Now, that's more like
the Herman I want to see.

He kicked me
in my behind, honey.

Oh, that's all right. Because you're
starting to act like a real person.

By the way,
Mama's coming over on Monday.

And Wednesday
you start your new job.

But I got a job,
honey bunch.

I'm a clown, remember?

You're not a clown.
You're a buffoon.

I'm talking
about a real job, Herman.

An entry level position at that fancy
new restaurant I told you about.

- Not Chez Whitey.
- Yes.

Look. It's high time
you stopped playing the fool.

Get yourself out of that ridiculous outfit
and into a regular suit.

You know, Herman,
I can just picture it.

You wearing one of those
nice little red valetjackets.

If you're faithful and humble...

and do exactly
what the man tells you...

that means no hostility...

they might even
let you inside the restaurant.

The time has come for you
to fit into society.

Come on, Herman, give it up
and join the establishment.

- The establishment, huh?
- Yes.

You want me to put on a little monkey suit
and park cars for the man, huh?

Maybe if I do real good,
I can move up to washing dishes.

Then maybe waiting tables.
Who knows?

Maybe five or six years later...

I'll be able to
seat Whitey himself.

- You'd like that, wouldn't you?
- Yes, Herman, I would.

I don't think so.

Homey don't play that.

- I'm telling Daddy.
- Good. Give him this when you see him.

Hmm. Now, I wonder where those
sweet little childrens went.

There he is!
I told you he'd still be here.

Hey, uh... Hey, clown man,
do another trick for us, will ya?

- Yeah!
- Yeah!

- Another clown trick, huh?
- Yeah!
- Yeah!

So you can fall down laughing while I degrade
and shame myself for your amusement, huh?

- [Children In Unison] Yeah!
- You'd like that, wouldn't you?

- Yeah!
- Yeah! Homey! Homey!

Homey! Homey! Homey!

- Homey!
- Sit down!

Gather round,
little chickadees.

Homey's got a little
love story to tell you.

- Ooh!
- Now, which one of you kicked me
in my behind earlier?

- He did!
- Me!

- Okay, you get up here and be my assistant.
- Yeah!

Hey!

Now, once upon a time...

two lonely hearts
came together.

- Woo woo.
- Wow.
- Just like this.

- Ooh.
- Ewww.

Then love poured all out
from their hearts...

nice and thick-like.

Until Homey realized...

that it was just a trick
to whiten him up, like so.

And it made his heart b*at
over and over and over again.

The end.

So, what has our little lesson
taught us if nothing else, childrens?

[Children In Unison]
Homey don't play that.

Very good. Now, let's sing
a little Homey love song.
