The Cosby Canard is a type of urban farce or superlative colloquium popularized by the ex-baptist Irish-Nigerian monk and juvenile motivator Bill Cosby. This particular brand of verbal utterances, which frequently appears in late night low-budget sitcom commercials and children's cartoons from the 1970s, is used as a comical anecdote to confuse the sane and orderly by asserting to them that everything and anything that exists in the universe is somehow like pudding.
