I had a stroke 3 years ago . When the nurse mentioned wheel chair and ramps... I tried to say Fook off but couldn't. She smiled and said you are going to be ok. Home a week later and no fooking wheel chair.
I've worked with stroke victims and people with 'disorders'. Billy is absolutely accurate. I love this man; he is able to elicit laughter even in the direst of circumstances.❤😂❤
i worked for 5 years on a stroke unit, i always remember 1 patient he could only say one word when he talked "Whitstable" if you asked him anything he would say "Whitstable" but he was a member of a choir and when he sang could sing a song word for word. the brain is a peculiar organ.
My dad told a story of a country and western singer with a severe stammer but could sing with no issue. When he was staying in a hotel with another country performer and they where being robbed he tried to raise the alarm and couldn’t get the words out until the other performer told him to sing it! True story. My dads best mate was the producer for country hour on BBC radio and would do all the country festivals and take my dad along with him
@@kaylaireland3494 I knew a publican with a severe stammer who could sing faultlessly. It was a peculiar sight watching him singing a drunk fellow his 'fortune' as he ejected him from the pub ;
Whenever I feel blue, I watch Billy. He has an almost therapeutic, healing quality and I find myself forgetting everything and losing myself in his stories.
my grandad had a stroke and died from it - I was pretty raw when I first watched this sketch and hated Billy for taking the piss at what I percived to be my grandad - Move on 18 months and I just love this sketch because its everything my grandad was in his final days and Billy gets it spot on - Luv ya Big Yin ;-)
God Bless Billy, he REALLY changed Glasgow, Scotland the UK and the world with his addictive humor. I went to many shows of his over the years but have never met him in person.... unless you count the time I stopped at lights just behind the Apollo one night, beside Burger King and a Pizza place. Anyway I see directly opposite me waiting at the lights is none other than The Big Yin.... I give him the thumbs up, and like a champ he gives he the thumbs up back......... MADE MY YEAR! Always a true gent, VIVA BILLY!
@@susanfarley1332 I couldn't be as funny as Billy, then again I don't call myself a comedian. I've never written a book either so I don't call myself an author. See what I'm getting at? Billy is my favourite comedian, but he isn't a genius. Ask Billy if he thinks he's a genius.
@@irbennett I was just saying he is a genius at his craft. You are making way too much of a deal about it. I never said he was smarter than Einstein. Even geniuses are stupid in one way or another. But he did make me inhale my smoke the wrong way. Think about it. How could I inhale something the wrong way when I had been inhaling to start with? It felt like when you swallow a liquid and it accidently goes down your windpipe. That doesn't happen when you inhale. You can swallow air but that just makes you burp. Geeze, I'm explaining too much about why I said it.
My grandfather had a minor stroke when I was very little. First time is ever been in a hospital, I was expecting him to be covered in wires and tubes. But there was just one tube coming out from under the blankets, into this bag attached to the bed frame. Thinking it was like an IV I told him “I think you need a refill.” Never forget his face as he said “No…I fill it.”
I lost my father to a stroke way back in 2008 and what Billy says,regarding stroke victims is very accurate indeed,the best comedian i have seen by a long way,will be a sad day on this earth when billy goes,i hope not for a very long time,your a legend billy😀👍.seen him live twice in hobart Tasmania, my lungs got a good workout on both occasions. Lol
I first heard of Billy 30 years ago when he appeared on HBO in a special hosted by Whoopi Goldberg. He did his story about the man who farted on a Cathay Pacific airliner and I was rendered helpless with laughter. Since that night he has been one of my all-time favorite entertainers.
Visiting my 88 year old mother in law in hospital bed in heatwave July I felt I didn’t know what to say, so I unwittingly said “it’s so cool in here, you’re in the best place. I watched Billy here and it touched a nerve, we humans do often are caught in situations we feel lost or scared and we just blurt out random stuff. The brilliance of Billy can never be fully stated. Thank you for finding such insight into such intimate situations and finding humour in such places as many of us wouldn’t expect. You’re a true wonder, Billy ✌🏻😂😂💪🏻🌹
So true people who have never ever sworn. Then after a stroke they do and they have no control. It’s such a shame as family get so upset. Plus we had a lady who really smelt so so bad due to her condition.
You never know what the hell he's gonna say. Even to his own father who's in a stroke... There's only one Billy Fuckin Connolly. To your health Billy. Love you
🤣🤣🤣🤣OMG!!!🤣🤣🤣 This happened to me. I went to see a relative who had a stroke and I just didn't know what to do! He was staring at me wanting to say something and all I understood was Pffrgrrtgggtrrfffprgtf!!! so I just stood there mortified, and then I said " You look alright!" and my relative started to make funny noises! I panicked and called the nurse,and she said " What did you do to him!? . I was so much in shock I left the room. Then at home my mom asked me "Did you go to see your uncle?" and I said " Yep! He's fine!! and went to my room traumatized! Needless to say I didn't go to see him again! One last thing, thank you for these videos! You're so funny I just can't stop laughing! THANKS!!!
Lol it a huge monstrous place full of knock off designer brands & venders eager to rip you off. The few thins I did buy there either fell apart or only worked for a day or so……
Similar story my father was coming round after a stay in the ICU first thing he apparently remembers was when i walked in and said " Dad you look like shit" he quietly and in discomfort replied "thats because i feel like shit" like father like son i suppose but i had that moment of "whoops what did i just say". We laugh about it now but feels terrible when you let one of those slip.
He doesn't write any jokes. He tells stories. Quite often he used to ask audience members, particularly in the front row, to remind him where he was before he moved on to something else.
What always cracked me up about this bit was that he had at no point during the show mentioned his father being a stroke victim until the start of this clip. Billy's fevered mind just couldn't accurately recall what he'd been speaking about for the previous hour.
Love b Connolly, always have. My dad had a stroke, and died a few yrs later., so this was a bit tough to hear. But I think my dad would have found this funny as he was a billy fan too. Billy’s a mess too now but he doesn’t give a fk, same as my dad.
Am now into Year 8 since my stroke. Messes with their heads that I have regained about 65%. Went directly to coma at the coffee table, the 72 hour death watch to "May never wake up and what comes out, won't be him." When I would "wake" in the coma, ripped out IV lines, destroyed the room. Every word was FUCK
Good grief this happen to my father in law. Exactly the same. We took our parrot (African grey) . To show Him Jasper the parrot. We didn't have Him insured so we took Jasper every where. So We said to my Father in law. ... Don't stick your finger in the cage....... Yes you are right. my Father in law pushed his fingers in the cage. There was blood and flesh all over. Because of His stroke He could not move quickly so Jasper had a good old bite. Only the word was the one my father in law used. For years after We would hear Jasper screaming F u c k My Father in law passed away So. It was a bit spooky. The bird shouted it at People that word in My father in law's voice.
Billy your still the best of the best we all love you to bits man. How you can start telling a story and go back to it after telling us 3 story's you are truly amazing 👏 🤣🤣
My long gone Mother had a massive stroke. It destroyed 3/4 of her brain before it finally stopped. When she finally came home she could only say her name Mrs.Meisel. that's because every one refered to her with that name. It's called aphasia
I had a stroke in 2017. Weird experience. My recovery is about 96%, 97% maybe, even people who have known me my whole life can't tell. I'm really lucky. Anyway. Billy's joke reminds me. I'm in the hospital, they are testing everything to figure out why me, a pretty healthy guy, not overweight, pretty active, only 45, suddenly popped a clot. Unpleasant tests sometimes. Anyway. The doctor running the worst test, in which a camera inside a tube goes down your throat while you're awake to take video of your heart, is a very attractive young Asian woman. maybe 34, 35. She explains that they can't do it any other way, the breastbone is in the way, the camera has to be inside. So she describes this horrid thing and then says, "do you have any questions?". And I said, "Yeah. What's a nice Irish girl like you doing in a terrible place like this?"
My Grandma always had a brilliant sense of humour, so we were all able to deal with her stroke and took to the piss which helped us all deal with the awful impact of the stroke on her. Miss her still but humour has to be part of a shitty situation. You're Dad would have been the same me, Mate
@westaussie965 Because Billy forgave his father for molesting him. Inferring that the Catholic Church should take the lions share of the blame. He still visited his father because he loved him.
Ive never had the ability to get a laugh out of this guy ...and as i checked this out i can see why ..he's got about as much witt as a dead tadpole.....boring would rather listen to wet paint dry
@markbraxton1289. The impression I get from reading your "post" is that you were kicked in the head by a horse when you were younger, which would explain why the majority of your "post" is gibberish.
I don't get it. I can understand you not liking Billy, so why are you even here. Are you one of these internet wankers who likes to go on message boards and leave negative comments? Plus what you posted is gibberish.How do you listen to wet paint dry? Watch it dry, yes. Listen to it dry, nope.
