CLIFF Tries to Talk — but the Boys Turn the House Into a FULL KUNG FU TAKEOVER | The Cosby Show

This wild, multi-part scene from The Cosby Show is one of the funniest “Huxtable boys” moments ever caught on camera. It all begins with Cliff delivering one of his trademark rambling life lectures to the guys lounging in the living room. They sit politely, nodding… until he leaves — and total chaos erupts.

The man in the purple turtleneck suddenly launches into a full-blown imaginary kung fu fight, complete with kicks, spins, flips, and sound effects. Just as things settle, another friend arrives, and the group storms into the kitchen, raiding the fridge while Cliff tries to enjoy an oversized sandwich.

But the madness doesn’t stop there.
In the extended scene, Cliff retells the world’s strangest movie plot about “Unusual Circumstances,” featuring a Dalmatian and a “baby porcupine.” The boys aren’t listening — they’re annoyed that their friend Denny is late… because he’s “hypnotized” by his new girlfriend, acting student Jade Marsh.

As soon as they reveal their REAL plan — a triple feature of kung fu movies — the room erupts into Kung Fu Fight Part 2, even wilder than the first.

Denny finally arrives, raving about Jade’s “very short toga” in her Medea performance. The boys get ready to eat, but Cliff snaps and demands $2 per head for raiding his kitchen.

Then comes the twist:
Howard reveals he found a designer watch — a Jacque Pardot — on Atlantic Avenue. The boys debate what to do with it until Denny decides it will be the perfect gift for Jade… and drags everyone out the door, “too excited to eat.”

A perfect storm of classic sitcom energy.
