America’s Dad” has repeatedly lectured and shamed people for their inappropriate language but had no issue hurling his own off-color remarks in the middle of a courtroom Thursday afternoon.

A Pennsylvania jury found 80-year-old Bill Cosby guilty of drugging and sexually assaulting former Temple University basketball coach Andrea Constand inside his Philadelphia home in 2004. Following the verdict, District Attorney Kevin Steele called for the disgraced funnyman’s bail to be revoked, posing that he is a flight risk given his access to a private plane.

“He doesn’t have a plane you a–hole,” Cosby snapped back.

The quip stands in stark contrast to the fatherly persona he’s cultivated for himself as well as his repeated critiques of harsh language.
