Jell-O is a fun food! So was Bill Cosby. At the time this advertisement was made, Bill Cosby was a great comedian and kids loved him. Jell-O is mostly eaten by young kids so why not have a man who makes kids laugh advertise for Jell-O, it sounds like a great idea, attracting a young audience with an iconic man.
Well as most people know, Bill Cosby got wrapped up into a date rape case. While this meme may be comedic it does stand out to the kids who grew up with Bill Cosby as an iconic comedian. The message portrayed is that Bill Cosby was never the man people thought he was, especially for the kids who saw this  commercial on TV. Essentially Bill Cosby was a false idol to millions of children.
