Billy Connolly - Cardinal's school visit - Bites Yer Bum 1981 

Billy, I hope you see this. There has never a darkened and black dog day, that you have not saved me from. I will always be grateful. With love and Thank you.

Best comedian ever and one if not the greatest storyteller to ever grace this miserable world that needs laughter now more than ever!

My Dad, actor Ted Webster, was in Just Another Saturday, with Billy Connolly, in 1975. Amazingly its turned into a dvd. Dad passed away in Australia In 2018, so I might buy it, so I can have a live memory of a dad.

Such an underrated joke. The build up to the punchline is just brilliant and the punchline is just the best ever. The world needs a Glaswegian Pope it really does.

The greatest story teller of our time. Dare I say it but I think William Shakespear would of been proud to sit in a audience with our Billy Connolly.

I used to have this entire show on VHS. Watched it so many times I wore it out.

Only billy would getaway with that tale lmao 😀😁😅😂

Billy was a genius actor/playwright... Why actor/playwright...? Because he could draw you into his personal universe, his mini play with special effects, costumes, cast, crew and screen writing you can genuinely relate to. The Cardinal is a theatrical masterpiece... full stop.

No one can tell a story like Billy Connolly

"Well don't forget again, yeah? He's nailed to the wall to remind ya, fer Christ sakes..." OMG HAHAHA

Nothing better than listening to Billy go Off in one of His Programms. Fucking Hilarious is what He is. ❤❤❤

Hands down the best comedian to walk this planet, EVER

Billys a total legend and best comedian ever and absolutely hilarious!!😁🤣🤣🤣👍

The appeal and relatability of this routine cannot be overstated, especially when coming from a Scottish Catholic school background. Visits from high-ranking clergy were a semi-regular thing at least up until the 90s (ours actually had met the pope at least once) and for all I know continue right up until this day… “Yes/no/dunno your eminence!”

One of the only comedians that can absolutely have me in tears in five minutes' time. x'D

The big yin in full song. Very sad that he’s no longer able to make us wet ourselves with laughter. I trust he’s comfortable in his final years.

still a classic after forty years love it

Since I first saw this years ago I still find myself saying "YES YER EMINENCE" whenever anyone asks me a question. Thank goodness they know what I'm talking about 😂

Love this! 😂 😂 😂 First time I saw this back in the 90's I absolutely howld with laughter and nothings change! 😂 😂 😂

YES! This is my favorite bit by Billy, and it's been gone from RU-vid for quite a while. And now it's back! THANK YOU!!!

Oh my word, I remember this skit now from decades ago, thank you for the reminder, 👍☮️

My all time favourite bit from Billy. I remember telling my pastor this. Good thing he has a sense of humour.

Billy. Thank you for making me wee my pants through the years.

He broke down so many barriers with his simple view of the absurdity of religion. His version of the crucifixion is a joy to behold.

This story and the one about the toffs xmas dinner party, Fkn riotous classics!

Amazing! how i laughed at the first "fuck off", just came out of nowhere. classic!

IS THAT YOU BIG YIN? ON YERSEL PAL!! LOVE YER WORK, LOVE YER ART, LOVE YOUR FILMS AND LOVE THE FACT I JUST SHOUTED THAT AT YE. HAPPY DAYS...O THE BEST

Hope he knows we love him.

Saw you live in Oxford in the 90s my ribs have just about recovered all these years later ❤

Love all the jokes! They are stories so well told and so funny we do not forget them... 😂

Goddamn, he makes you wait for that punchline, and damned if it isn't worth every second! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Love from Canada ♥️🇨🇦🍁🐘🤗

Connolly's best joke! Love him so much. Thank you so much for the upload. Been looking for this for years.

Brilliant

Dear, Billy, I was born in 1963, we share the same first 4 Dates, of our Birthdays. And over and above that. You are the voice, on my 2nd hand, sat-nav. Last August I purchased another, Saab after Not having a,Saab for 5 years. Love from, Leeds14. Kind, Sir. If you were ever in, Leeds? I am here, to, Chauffeur, for you. In my Saab. B18 JHP.

Still the best laugh ever

Billy, your light cannot but shine in so many places , to illuminate darkness !

I’ve been searching the net looking for Billy’s world tour stuff an stand up as I used to watch it on the telly an can’t find it anywhere. Much appreciated for uploading what you do 🙏your a legend whoever you are 👍

God bless 🙏 💖 🙌 billy n you for uploading n all for being here now, be free reader 😊😅😮😢🎉😂❤❤❤❤❤all is SHIVA

Thank you sooo much... This is hilarious!!!!

Being a European Cardinal, this story is probably very true. Absolutely hilarious!!!!

Had me at "hoover"

Greatest man to ever live

Classic Billy Connolly. Brilliant.

Now that's humour

I love the way this begins. “So, I’m gonna tell you a story instead.” Like it’s unusual. All Billy’s stuff is stories. Fantastic, hilarious stories. And this is the best of them all. Probably my favourite comedy routine of all time. You’re right there in the classroom with them.

Priceless!!

“AND YOU’RE TELLING ME TAE FUCK OFF?! YOU FUCK OFF!” *dead*

BRILLIANT

Never forget your roots

I've been trying to find the name of this particular show for ages. Saw it when I was 8 and could never remember which one it was, only the bricks behind him.

The cardinal has uncommon depth of character. 😂

I remember Billy when I only teenager and he still berntrnt I still love him he always make laugh 1oo s good man billy

“Och fuck off ey” 😆

There's a reason Robin Williams thought of Connelly as his best friend.....i think its obvious :D

Superb

Great story. This has to be the inspiration for Bishop Brennan in Father Ted!

I ADORE READING

Excellent bit. Hello son. Aye.

a classic love it

A Genius at Work pure CLASS.

One of my favorites my family is Dutch and we have some Catholic and other religions on our Family. I'm like Billy and we are like the Swiss in WWII when it comes to religious things Neutral but that scech always makes me laugh. I love religious humor. My family are Mormon converts post WWII most of us gave that up. A young Catholic Preist in training said you know Unlike Mormons Catholics get to drink beer. I told him he'd make a great car salesman. We both laughed. 😁

Billy is a god!!!

can someone PLEASE upload the other school story of the teacher that snapped during the map of Africa? Not seen it for years!

Genius

I'd replace the William Wallace statue with one of Billy. The best our country has ever produced.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂STILL SO FUNNY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!!!

I thought that joke was going to go in an entirely different (but wholly accurate) direction. I’m glad it didn’t to be honest.

I went to Catholic school as well.12 year sentence it was.

legend!!!!!!

The very first time i saw this i lost it at the end i mean hard i laugh so hard there was black in front if my eyes 🤣🤣🤣🤣

That punchline at the very end tho...😄😄😄

He went from looking like a drug dealer to looking like a wizard

Where is the Scone Ladies Story ? Very Funny.

Great

Leopard and Spots :-)

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😆

Great!!! Might have ended with something like... Little boy says... And look where you ended backnup. At least that other plumber boy doesn't want to be full of shite!

In the real world, the Cardinal would have had his pick of the best looking schoolboy.

Sorry Billy but do you have any say about the ads that are on after your stuff??? As I'm pretty sure if you as I just did see Nigel Farage on the end of your stuff you'd be just as indubitably amazed as I am FFS

Thought that was charles manson for a sec 🤣

the f'ers LOL

Call It Out will be upset with this 😢

Can't hear it.

Can't hear it

So a bishop is your emminence? Learn something new every day

Don’t really get that one ☹️

I honestly think this was the pinnacle of Billy Connolly. After this he changed, became something slightly pretentious, changed his accent, still brilliantly funny but he lost something essential he had here.

P.S. you don't need religion to drink beer. Cheers 😁

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Dear God, please let it be true that a cardinal told Billy Connolly to fuck off.

😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣

All that for that?

All this work and the cardinal didn't even get to score once. Is that why he came back stalking 7 and 8 year old school boys?

If i told that 5 minute joke it wouldn't be funny.thats because it isnt funny.😶

Sadly I never found Billy Connelly in the slightest bit funny. I have tried, but he does nothing for me. Even this ' joke ' ' is dragged out far too long .

Not funny

Pretty lame in my opinion.

Scotland's vulgar shame.

4:34. They made me a Canon. They made a Monsignor. I went to Paris to study. I was there for five years, and I became a Bishop. Ten years later, I was an Archbishop! They send from Rome for me! I went to the Vatican to study at the feet of the HOLY FATHER!!! They made me a Cardinal! I was in the Jury WHO ELECTED THE LAST POPE!!! 😀😃😄😁😆😅🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😆😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅😆😆😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
