I like the sketch where he's having a meal with that young lady and he tells her she doesn't look a day over 14, and she says she isn't...really funny!
2020 the feminists would be apoplectic if this was on tv and bloody Ramadan has started. Westminster council is wishing them all happy prayers and hope they will get closer to God. What a ducked up world
I used to sneak and watch this late on a Sunday night on the local PBS station in Chicago when I was a kid around age 12. I thought it was hilarious and still do.
Some of my favourites were the ones with Dave as the Pope being carried around on his palaquin --- particularly when one of his bearers collapsed and so they took the spare out of the trunk.
Heard about Dave Allen on a Comic's Choice special. Alan Davies mentioned him. Until then I'd never heard of Dave Allen. This man was VERY FUNNY! I've been watching everything I can find. Thanks so much for posting these! :)
Wonderful humour in a time when we had such good quality television and producers weren't afraid to push the boundaries or use great talents like Dave Allen. Sadly, not PC in today's climate
One sketch he did had me laughing so hard i have never laughed like it again. Dave and hisbuddies where Viking and they just landed ashore, Dave looks at them all and say "Now remember to kill all the women and rape all the men" Then one of them says back too him "Umm sir isn't it the other way around? " and Dave says " you play your games and i'll play mine " He put on this creepy funny look on his face and prances off ROFLMFAO .
***** Agreed. I can't watch shows like SNL anymore due to the degrade of sketch comedy these days. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but what ever happened to just taking a basic human moment and revealing its comedic side without introducing a celebrity-pandering element into it? Dave Allen had his ensemble cast to work with and that was all he needed!
this "group"? Which "group" are you deciding to collectivise? "pure" comic genius? How would you know about genius comedy.or purity? Programmed laugher
Last sketch at 9:49 Priests halo trips him, this day and age they are looking at underage children. Bastards!!!!!! Children deserve to grow up INNOCENT! At least I had that fortune but many did not. Dave, RIP love your work, John, Australia. Edit 100th comment, 12/09/2019 at about ten to four afternoon is Aus.
I vaguely remember a sketch where Dave says he has a bulletproof vest and that it stops all bullets. His friend or whoever shoots him to test it and he falls to the ground and in his dying breath he says but I am not wearing it. Am I right? Must have been 30 years back so I am not sure though. Anyone?
