Yeah we all know how his story turned out. But it will never stop me from loving these albums.

This album mysteriously disappeared from my dad's old vinyl collection and somehow ended up in mine

I grew up on theses old albums ……and they’re CLASSIC !!!

When kids my age in the 70s were buying Led Zeppelin and 38 special and all the rest, I was buying comedy albums. And I would listen to these albums over and over again. This was one of my favorites.

This was played to a cafeteria full of kids in 1966 and it was the funniest thing they had ever heard. I was there and was 9 years old. Somethings stick with you your entire life and this happens to be one of those things for me. Thank You for posting this so I could find it and listen to it again for the first time since 1966!

Yes I grew up with bill cosby and listen too radio show at night

While most teenage girls my age were squealing and buying up Beatles and Jackson Five albums, I was buying every Bill Cosby album I could get my hands on. It was the beginning of a beautiful relationship with my new found sense of humor.

One of the all-time great comedy routines.

After all these years, this still is funny!!

We had all his records and this was my favorite. Haven't heard it in decades, can still remember every word!

I loved this when I was a kid... so much I memorized it and told it to the kids on the block.

Before my wife and I ever knew each other we were both listening to Cosby on the same radio station in the middle of the night....great memories...

Oh I remember owning this album when I was young. I used to laugh and laugh and laugh. I will always love Cosby, I don't care what people say about him.

"I dont see no sn-" "Theyre invisible."

"Hey, come here. I wanna show you my dumb kid."

No chicken heart going to come near Smoke, fire, and Jello!! Oh the child hood memories of listening to this in the car on long road trips! We would laugh until it hurt! Thank for posting this!

My sister-in law bought this album in 1967. Then she and my older brother and mom went out to dinner leaving me to watch over my younger brother. I said "hey look at this.. let's play this", on a TV/stereo/phonograph popular back then. Of course, later we were hiding in the back bedroom when they came home and un-locked the door.... we were sure the monster had come for us.

Still have this on vinyl. Classic!

"TURN YOUR LIGHTS OUT." Yeah yeah, they're out, go ahead, scare me to death!!

My dad used to play this for me and my brother when we were little. We thought it was the most hilarious thing.

Man I love this routine!!! Grew up with this vinyl album. A lot of laughter in my life from this.

The part about his parents lying to him about the snakes makes me think of when my mother use to tell us, when we got a TV for our room, if you leave it on while no one's watching it, it will blow up. And I believed that for years, and was sure to turn it off when leaving the room, just to be safe.🤗📺💥

he never once told a single joke.. funniest album ever in t history. used to sit and listen to it over and over on vinyl

Is there a person on earth or will ever be born, who would be as funny as Bill Cosby. What a hold on language! What a blessed and talented guy he is.

have fond memories of listening to Bill Cosby's record albums. My parents had a few of them and we listened to them when I was a kid.

8:01 as he mimics the radio warming up and then turning the dial he works in a very quick Gabriel Heatter, "Ah there's good news"

I found out a few months ago that Lights Out and The Chicken heart were a real show. Originally aired March 10th, 1937. Here is a link: Lights Out - Chicken Heart

I'm 17 and I've seen all his material. Hilarious stuff, wish I had been around back then.

What let some stranger look after my kid? I"d just as soon leave him home by himself. lol

Every Sunday morning, my local radio station would play some of these classic Cosby routines. They would also play Smothers Brothers, Mel Brooks, etc. Great stuff.

"Yeeeah, I knew you wasn't out there. Lie to me, boy!" 🐍🐍🐍

My sister owned the Wonderfullness album when I was twelve years old. I would come home from school and listen everyday. And when I memorized a cut I would preform for my friends. I still know the whole album. This is still FUNNY. HA HA Cos!

This is comedic perfection! I would LOVE to see a video of Cosby performing this live, at that stage in his career. I've been listening to this routine for over 50 years and still don't understand how he got all those sounds out of just himself and a microphone. Today, there would be no question how: there would be dozens of cell-phone videos on youtube showing Cosby in action. Despite what you're incarcerated for, Dr. Cosby, no one can deny this routine is SO DAMNED FUNNY!

Damn I remember listening to this album back in the early 70s when I was like 5

The Sandman's beating me to death. Pardon me for not seeing you to the door but I'm just... tired.

I loved this when I was a kid!

Bought this album at a yard sale in 1976 for five cents. It will always stick with me.

“I was dumb enough to do whatever the guy on the radio said to do” *turn* *your* *lights* *OUT* Why does that make me laugh so hard?

I love this routine. I have it on vinyl from when it first came out.

Thank you, Thank you!!! I loved listening to this as a kid. I smeared Jello all over the kitchen because of this routine.

I have this on vinyl! Loved it!!!

I'm 56 years old. My parents bought this album and played it for us. The chicken heart story scared me something fierce. I still watch reruns of The Cosby show.

Thank you so much for posting this. Haven't heard it in years. Bill is the BEST!

Loved listening to the old albums as a kid!

Always one of my favorites!! So good!

Love this!!! I had the album!!! played it over and over thank you!!!

I remember when I was in elementary school in the 1970s and one day in our music class, students were allowed to bring records from home to play in class and one student brought this album. I vividly remember the Chicken Heart part of this album and just how funny it was to listen to.

My mom had a few of his albums when I was a kid. This was my favorite skit

This was fun to listen to. It made me laugh.

I was just watching Eddie talking about bill thought I would look this up I was very young my brother had this album I had to hear it again this is maybe 50 or more years ago I was born 1959 never forget this classic I didn't forget album cover great stuff

Lol my dad just got me started on this its hilarious

im glad i still have this cd

Funniest story ever told in my humble opinion.

I don't see no snakes... They're invisible. LOL

I saw him at Pitzer College in 1966 and was hooked I was about 12 years old. I was hooked I bought all his albums including Sgt. Pepper's Lonely hearts club band. He was hilarious on the Bill Cosby show ( Chet Kincaid ). I spy was eye-opening for a small black kid to see a Black James Bond who was smart and cool.. Man life is a trip.

I remember listening to all those old radio shows on WMMS Cleveland. a show they had on @ 11PM...I forget what night it was on? But it was called, " Archie Rothman's Time Machine". Awesome show, that replayed all these cool episodes of lights out, pirates of penzance, the shadow, and many more. Mom was surprised one night when she headed past my bed to the only bathroom in the house. She wondered what I was listening too, so I explained briefly. I wish that radio show was still on!

my little bro and I would listen to this album all the time

I wore out this record album as a kid. Thank you for uploading it

So glad that this is on KZfaq! Classic! I have this on vinyl.the way he made those sound effects of changing the radio channels @7:57 was genius.

This is a classic!

Thank you for posting. I 'liked' this before even listening. This is one of my all-time favorite Bill Cosby routines 👍. I almost cried laughing when I heard this as a youngster. 'Spread that Jell-o'!

This is one of his best Along with Noah and Old Weird Harold and the 9th street Bridge

My father had this album and he built us a cart just like on the album cover. The chicken heart scared me with the heavy heart beating. Awesome. Little tiny hairs!

Classic, classic stuff. Brilliant.

my first comedy listen!!!!

Talks about waiting for the radio to heat up, My grandparents had a 1966 Zenith color TV and you had to wait at least 20 seconds for th tubes to warm up. Only TV that I could remember waiting that long for to come on. Guess it took longer for radios and early TV's long then that.

My father was always bringing home new records of either music or comedy to share with us, he was otherwise more distant, so these were special memories. One of these was when he brought home an album of Bill Cosby which included this routine. Once, when he was responsible for putting us down for a nap, he put this on, and I remember falling asleep to this, Which probably was responsible for a few nightmares, but it was definitely a fun memory of mine, in relation to my father. P.S. I actually, almost got to meet Bill when I was in San Francisco, but I was to hesitant and lost the opportunity. But it was still a cool close encounter of someone I'd concidered a legend, 😆back in the day, before things came out about what he may have done.🤔😒 Still hoping it isn't true though.🤩🙏

My favorite Bill Cosby routine The Chicken Heart. I can also recall that Richard Pryor made his interpretation of this!

I laughed hard when I heard it as a kid and laughed again.

Greatest set ever! 40 years later, and it's still funny as hell!

Bill Cosby was the first person to ever make me afraid to laugh. As a kid, my best friend's parents had a bunch of Cosby albums. We listened to Chicken Heart. I was laughing SO HARD I couldn't breathe. I thought for sure I'd die if he made me laugh again before I could get a breath. I made an old mixtape of Cosby's routines back then. I took it to college and would listen when I needed a boost. I'd still laugh. Later in life, I had the MP3s I kept on my iPod and would play for my kids. They'd laugh! After all the allegations and final court ruling, I made the very difficult decision to purge all Cosby material from my collection. This is the first time I have listened to him since then. I have mixed feelings knowing that even at the time of this recording, the man was a serial rapist or one in the making. So sad.

the old stuff was just real funny. a lot of the new stuff is crude or crude stuff mixed with the old. the old was/is pure comedy!!

His albums were GOSPEL!

Snakes! I gotta go to the bathroom!

Cosby is great. You know the Chicken Heart episode of the Light's Out radio show is a real thing? You can find it online. The same show also had an episode called 'The Dark' about a fog that turns people inside out that was referenced on an treehouse of horror episode of the simpsons.

can't stop laughing classics never die

My dad had all hs vinal. The best skit I've ever heard.

One of the best Entertainers We ever had./I use to have some of His albums/Including this one.

We just had a fire drill in the office, and half of us came back up the stairwell doing the theme to the go carts...the cool part was almost everyone recognized it! Except for our buddy from Argentina...Let the education begin :)

Bill Cosby could have listened to this program when he was seven or eight years old. According to John Dunning's Encyclopedia of Old Time Radio, Lights Out was revised as a summer replacement in 1945 using some of the old scripts. It was broadcast from NYC on Saturday nights on NBC. Cosby commented that his parents were going out for the evening which makes sense if it was a Saturday. Today, if they had left him by himself in the apartment, they would have been charged with child abandonment.

There was an edited version of this in an episode of the first season of Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids.

My brother and I would listen to Bill Cosby records together - it was the only thing we did together as kids. :) Still hilarious.

I love Bill Cosby. I don't care what he suposedly did. I love Bill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Five people are giant killer chicken hearts!

Bill cosby is awsome.Today at my school i saw bill cosby:the chicken heart. It was so funny that i coudn't stop laughing.😂😂😢

They had an episode of FAT ALBERT that had a character telling the story of the giant chicken heart, “that grew gigantic and went around eating taxi cabs.”

GOOD EVENING ...that's the guy...

This is awesome!

This will never get old!! 😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣

The album "Bill Cosby Is A Very Funny Fella. Right!" was the Very 1st record album (for those who don't know or understand, Please "Google" it.) I bought - or asked Mom to buy. At that time, I Think it was One Dollar and ninety-eight ($1.98) cents USD.

“….just give it a little snaky lick.”

the absolute best comedian EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....the chicken heart is the best!!!!

Boom. Outta' the way. Boom. Where's my sock. I don't wear 'em.

Choose your weapon: jello, fire, or smoke. Bill Cosby: YES

Was just away that radio and imagination can be awsome. The first audio book😁. And other than music he had some of the greatest vinal!!!

This comedy routine is how he got his Jello commercial gig.

Weapon of Choice: Jello.

I SET THE SOFA ON FIRE!!!!

This must be how he ended up with the jello endorsement contract. Cuz he was hilarious using his jello! He tripped up many a monster smearing the jello on the floor!

I listened to this in my dads car when i was like 5 or 6 and it scared the hell out of me
