| − | The '''Bill Cosby''' fad was first popularized on YTMND by ''The Simpsons'' episode ''Children of a Lesser Clod''.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A short segment of the episode features Cosby asking a child "What do you like to play?" during an episode of ''Kids Say the Darndest Things'', hosted by Cosby himself in reality.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The child promptly replies "Pokémon!" and Cosby begins incoherently rambling: "Pokeyman?! Pokeyman with the ''pokey'' and the ''man'' and the thing where the guy comes out of the thing, and he likes to fall out of that whrr ah ah ah!"

| − | ==Pop Culture References==
| + | |
| − | YTMNDs referencing Mr. Cosby have included fictional Cosby quotes, done by impersonators, from various animated cartoons. There are several TV shows used in the Cosby fad:
| + | |
| − | *The Simpsons - ''Children of a Lesser Clod'', where the fad originated from. Voiced here by Dan Castellaneta.
| + | |
| − | *The Simpsons - '' 'Round Springfield '', where Cosby explains "What the Jazz is all about". Voiced here by Dan Castellaneta (as was the case above).
| + | |
| − | *Family Guy - ''Brian Does Hollywood'', where Stewie goes on the show "Kids Say the Most Darndest Things". Voiced here by Kevin Michael Richardson.
| + | |
| − | *Family Guy - ''Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater'', a fictional scene from "The Cosby Show". Voiced here by Kevin Michael Richardson.
| + | |
| − | *The Critic - ''Dukerella'', where Cosby explains using a knife. Voiced here by Maurice LaMarche.
| + | |
| − | *The Cosby Show - ''The Day the Spores Landed'', where Bill Cosby apparently gives birth to a giant club sandwich. This bit is rarely used as the scene itself is more likely to be parodied rather than the use of the quotes in the scene.

| − | ==Self-Fulfilling Irony==
| + | |
| − | This fad is both simultaneously loved and hated by equal portions of the YTMND community. Cosby YTMNDs reached a small position of popularity in 2005, but in early 2006, [[Kassius]] elevated Cosby to an iconic household YTMND fad with {{y|pokepokeyourpeepee|Man. POKE man. Cosby}} and subsequent Cosby parody YTMNDs of varying topics and audio loops.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Since the fad has become such a large part of the YTMND users, it is fairly common to see at least five or six Cosby-related YTMNDs to be created a week; ironic, considering that none of the used quotes are actually spoken by Cosby, but instead by satirical impersonators working for the television shows they are featured on.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Cosby Popularity==
| + | |
| − | One of the most popular and viral YTMNDs is the [[Cosby Bebop]] YTMND created by {{ytmnduser|SirLemming}}, a parody of the opening credits to ''Cowboy Bebop'' including images of Cosby arrayed, transitioned, and displayed in an artistic fashion similar to ''Cowboy Bebop.'' This YTMND has reached [[Hall of Fame]] status, along with other YTMNDs worthy to be featured in that section.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Another popular spin off is {{ytmnd|drecosby|Dr. Dre ft Cosby}} which is an excellently edited rendition of fictional Cosby recordings threaded into a freestyling rap about Pokémon, Jello, Kodak film, and Jazz, played over the beat of Dr. Dre's song 'What's the Difference'. The YTMND has since been translated into a Flash animation by Steven Shafer and posted on AlbinoBlackSheep and deviantART, allegedly with the creator's consent. Another worthy Cosby YTMND is {{ytmnd|cosbystrikesback|Cosby Strikes Back}}. A year after Cosby Bebop was made (after the climax of the Cosby Fad ended), {{ytmnduser|SirLemming}} made {{ytmnd|letitcosby|Let it Cosby}}, a remix of the Cosby Fad's usual sounds with the Bealte's song, Let it Be. It became rather popular with the Cosby fans, and almost symbolizes the fad as a whole and it's impact to the YTMND site.

| − | == Kassius Cosby Soundtrack ==
| + | |
| − | On October 11, 2006, Kassius released a {{y|kassiuscosbysoundtrack|soundtrack}} featuring all 60 of his Cosby remixes as well as 5 of his favorite remixes from other users. He also included a Cosby remixing kit featuring all of the Cosby quotes and pictures used in the fad. The soundtrack is available by torrent or direct download.
