Don't beLIEve what science tells you its all a lie. Enjoy Billy by all means but forget the earth age bullshit, you will be telling us its a ball next lol
Sadly, he'll be lifting off too soon.'Sir' Billy, among several before him, will eventually be MIA for the younger than 50s. So hard to find really true & valid comedians now. (The best merely told the truth about our Biped behavior.) Many now overuse vulgarity as their sole language, while missing the point entirely. Born in '50, despite the multi injustices in our own country, the heathen Vietnam mess and so much more... my generation got to hear (& hopefully learn from) the best ....The Catskill comics, Red Skelton & J.Benny thru Collins, Pryor, Carlin and others. The PC world will stop most all of it andI'm not so sure there are many individual thinkers about anywho.
I saw him in the mid 70's in Reading Berks. deepest darkest England. 6000 people. He asked how many Scotsmen were in the audience. Six of us put our hands up. `See that the rest of ye?' said the Big Yin `You're completely outnumbered,. Bloody Priceless.
Billy almost killed me with this routine. Driving down the 401 with this playing on the radio. I laughed so hard I was crying, could hardly see, I couldn't breathe. I just managed to pull over to the side of the highway.
All the modern-day “rules of comedy” - don’t laugh at your own jokes, don’t do toilet humour, don’t go on for too long or keep “meandering” - this guy breaks repeatedly and with glee, and it’s even better for it. That’s how you know you’re dealing with a comedy legend 👍
Jesus christ... Ok im not one to really bust a gut laughing but it is now after 4 am, everyone in the house is awake and our animals keep trying to climb me because they think something is seriously wrong... I was fine right up until the sound effects and I just F****** LOST IT! LMFAO
I'm from Glasgow, as is this legend. Many of us, myself included, have outstanding personalities & sense of humour. As I did even before I moved to Australia. Where they DONT. AND I married a German. So I need my humour to avoid going mental.
That is probably the funniest thing I’ve ever heard in my life. I laughed so hard, so long, so uncontrollably that tears were streaming down my cheeks and a very concerned dog came over in a forlorn attempt to understand what sort of seizure I was experiencing.
I watched this performance on a VHS tape in a Liverpool Fire station in 1992, and have never seen a bunch of men so helpless with laughter, y'know the full "tea coming out of your nostrils" type laughter. A great memory for which I thank Billy.
You got to relax or get another job you should not be awake this hour! Try mind valley or bob procter or jake ducey! There’s lot out there I’m so focused now answer is the secret film x
@@pateicialane4740 Getting up early isn't a bad thing, Job or not. It's It's a really good way to start your day. Even on my holidays I usually like to keep my work routine, I feel like I got so much time and I'm relaxed. If I start work at 5:30, I'll be up at 3 am so I can slowly wake up, enjoy a coffee, have a shower, all the good things, no rush and then maybe I'll jump on the computer or watch TV for 20 mins. Cruisy af
That single loud laugh you can hear over all the others at 2.49-2.50 is my Dad ♥️♥️♥️ what you don’t hear in this clip is him wolf whistle Billy at the end of the show and Billy stopping on the stage, identifying him and getting him to stand up and wave to everyone then asking if he knew any tunes to which my Rodney whistled his way through ‘the great escape’ and the wonderful Sir Billy conducting the audience all the way through it. I wasn’t there but every single person he ever met for the rest of his life was told the story. I miss you Rodney! 15/11/1943 - 20/3/2022
I don’t know how many times I’ve seen this but it has the same effect every. The tears are running down my cheeks with laughing so much. 😂😂 Thanks Billy
When this legend finally passes away, comedy WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN. The amount of tears of laughter he has made to come out of my eyes will be doubled when his comedy passes away with him.
When the (second greatest) comedian George Carlin passed away a couple of years ago..l thought..well, at least we still have our dear Billy...🙂 Sadly, he's well into the insidious clutches of Parkinson' decease and has retired from doing his stand-up comedy appearances.. What a tragic loss to all fans who never got the chance to see him appear in person.🥺 I saw him in person a few years ago, laughed till l nearly injured myself...🤣 Best wishes to Billy in his retirement..!!!!
I nearly died watching this, first time I'd seen the big yin on video (never got to see him live😕) I fell off the sofa and my girlfriend was panicking as I couldn't breathe Absolutely brilliant 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I really wanted to see him live before he got worse. Sadly I’m afraid I’ll never see him live or meet him in person. This man has gotten me through the crap hand I was dealt in life. Always put a smile on my face. For that I’m eternally grateful. There will not be another comedian like him.
I saw him in Liverpool about 20yrs ago one funny man one of his saying if you love me half as much as love you than i love you twice much more than you love me
I had a similar experience after having a extra hot vindaloo curry at the Gate of India restaurant in Tynemouth North East England , my bum was so hot it was like the opening credits of Bonanza 😭😭😭
@@bluefive1727 The evening I had my ring of fire experience was over 30 years ago at the end of a night out in Tynemouth ,I had only ever had mild curries and wasn't sure what to order so my brother ordered for me ,I was crying real tears while I ate it but I think the gallon of lager before helped ease the pain .
What is the difference between a broken heart and a vindaloo? The day after a broken heart you feel like the bottom has fallen out of your world. The day after a vindaloo you feel like the world is falling out of your bottom. 😁
I ate the ice in the drinks in Spain nearly thirty years ago, same experience. Didn't feel anything for about a day then going on a site-seeing tour I had to get off the bus pronto and rush into the nearest hotel and ask for the toilet. After losing half my body weight I went to flush the toilet which was a high cistern contraption - and there was no chain to pull. Looked around in terror for a button or lever of some sort but there was nothing. I Then started to hear voices in the room, female voices, it was the cleaners coming in to do their routine light cleaning. I felt trapped. All I could do is quickly open the door and walk right past them as fast as I could without washing my hands and run for it. I feel sorry for those poor women and what they would have to find when they went into the cubicle, I couldn't do anything and I didn't know how good their English was for me to explain my predicament. As Billy says, don't drink - or eat- the water in any form.
Billy and George Carlin's material were grounded in realism, while Robin Williams was a master of frenzy and hyperbole. Together they form the Holy Trinity of modern standup.
I saw Billy at the Albert Hall back in the 80s , "wee brown dog " i laughed so much I thought I would crack my ribs , ladys and gentlemen I give you the best stand up comedian to ever live . Thanks Billy.
Funniest guy the world has ever seen or ever will see...not a fake...did grow up.in a tenement...born in GLASGOW....is working class...family did struggle....only one Billy Connolly
We were stationed in spain and they told us dont drink the water. I did well for 6 months, then one weekend ran out of bottled water. Took an innocent drink with medicine and ended up in the hospital for over a week. This is so like what happened to me! Lol
I can't believe the first time I saw this was on DVD... and it was so fucking funny, I had to pause the DVD for 10 minutes because I was laughing so hard, I was GASPING for air. I had STOMACH cramps for hours afterwards from laughing so hard. Genuinely the funniest man ever.
Sweet mother of pearl, if that is not my experience exactly as described. I used up three jumbo roles that day. My distal intestinal orifice was as if someone had lit off some napalm grenade in retribution. I could not walk properly for days. When people say better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it they have never gone there !
I’ve seen you live twice Billy (from New Zealand). Next time I’ll wear a nappy because I always pee myself laughing. Hope you are doing well, know how much laughter and sunshine you have bought the world, and how loved you are ❤️❤️❤️
Laughed so hard and so loud, I was on the floor, hysterical, breathless, and thumping the floor with my fist... everytime I see this, I feel like I'm going to die laughing..! 😂😂😂😂😂
Did the same 'bout an hour ago.... (was Billy on Colonoscopy, but still). Backstory: I'm 95% homebound, fairly immobile, tho still crispy in spirit. New, Younger neighbors are a bit at ease that I'm no longer too visible. I began snort, belly & bugger laughing so hard & loud that a neighbor ran up to see if I'd been hurt. (hmmm. Perhaps they thunk hardy laughing was a sign of damage?) Mind ya... t'was the same neighbor that ran Inside when I Yowled, during a Nasty, factual busted Ars fall as an electric transformer blew hard enough to shake the ground. Must say I'd prefer my Ars & bones be busted by Connolly or Carlin. Sad bit is that a decade from now, these names will not be recalled and (Imo) the new 'crude' aren't funny. Already , just a rare few, under 50, know who Will Rogers, Mark Twain/Samuel Clemens, or W.Churchill ( one liners) were, among other notables. My adult kidlets know I'm no fan of vulgarity (so overused, its effect is watered down). They Were nobbled when, sorting thru my LPs to scarf away, they found multis of these bestest. Sorry (or maybe not) for long ramble. Felt good, tho. I felt I could hear Your laughing as I read your comment. PS - add a love note to Richard Pryor , along w/the majestic story tellin of John Prine, in the mix
I remember my dad and his pals listening to Bill y and laughing, I actually have a cassette with the story of Jesus and the cross, I put it on and I hear my dad and his friend laughter....love it
My introduction to Billy was in the comic movie Open Season with him being the voice of the squirrel general saying “ they’re all my trees” , I’ve loved his comedy ever since.😂
“I paced the room- with VERY short steps…” I could imagine being so furious, about what had happened; but also terrified, and not daring to either sit down, or make any sudden/jerky movements, which could further anger the “Bowel Gods” haha. Billy’s standup is as funny now, as it was the day it was filmed; I’ve been watching him since I was a kid, and, no matter how many times I rewatch his stuff, it makes me howl with laughter, like the very first time saw it. He is, without a doubt, one of the greatest of all time.
Probably the funniest, best story teller ever! Soo glad I got to see him live! (Probably about the time of this clip). Cheers Billy! Legend, Nuff said. 🙂
Billy is a fabulous human being. To be able to give such a performance time after time . I have had the honour. Of seeing him live and he was fantastic. It's with great sadness that he no longer is well enough to perform anymore . His material that has us all crying though laughter . Is real life . Salute to a king of comedy.
Like someone else has said, I still recall the first time I saw this skit, years ago. I laughed so hard I literally fell off the couch and couldn't get off the floor, and I couldn't breathe!! I'm not overly easy to make laugh, but this skit just hit the spot. I've watched it twice this year, both times I almost choked on my cereal because I was laughing. But, as the other poster noted, the first time seeing this is definitely the best. I'm downloading this so I don't lose it. :0)
