This is Down Under humor at it's finest -- Dame Edna , i salute you , and i was fortunate to see you live on stage, i will never forget , one of the best nights i have had going to the theatre . I always appreciate a good Wit , when i first saw Dame Edna in the late 80's i was hooked and became a loyal fan ..... One of her "Possums" !!!
@@larsedik Yes. They have to realise that once they invite Dame Edna on as guest, they are relinquishing their entire show over to her. She does not need any help, she takes over completely. We've seen this on many occasions, The View, Parkinson, etc etc.
So awkward that the American hosts (like most over there, except in Northern California where techie Brits have introduced them to our crude but hilarious humor) do not realise they have been had. Sausage. Pineapple ring. Oil. Priceless! Love you Dame Edna! xx
Comedically this guy was up there with the best there's ever been. The younger generations are only just discovering Dame Edna and also realizing how funny he is.
Strewth mate - too right you are! Aussie humour, highly peppered by our unique slang, can only be appreciated by OZ’s First Fleet Royalty and their equally bawdy offspring who have made cherished icons like Dame Edna our National Treasure! Goodonya Barry - you are sorely missed! RIP!
There is no way I could have gotten through that! I would have been hysterically laughing so hard that I would've had to leave the stage. Thanks for posting this! By the way, I am from the States and I have the humor to love this!
These news casters don’t seem to understand that Dame Edna is not the guest of the show, when she shows up it’s now her show. Interrupting her with comments slows the pace of her delivery which throws off the performance.
She’s a performer, not an interviewee. Let her do her thing, don’t try to be part of the routine. It’s akin to heckling a stand up comic to interrupt her.
A UK audience would have laughed so much more!! The Americans don't really get her humor like we do but I still think she's fabulous with a capital "F".
WTF, do you expect the audience to do??? They were f*cking laughing. You Brits always have your heads up your asses. I think all that bad dental hygiene has done something to your brains.
@@artsed08 I see, instead of calling it like it really is, you have to use the race card on this one too, I'm going to tell you right now, if you decide to categorize a society, I'm going to hand it right back to you. Even though you didn't write the comment, you support it.
TV hosts need to be schooled on how to deal with the Dame. Basically they need to be told to KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE and let Dame Edna do her thing. No one is interested in what the hosts have to say. They're only interested in Dame Edna.
That was Spencer Christian the old weatherman from Good Morning America from the 1990's.. Saw Dame Edna at the Post St Theater when I was living in San Francisco and she was hilarious
Commenters taking potshots at the bewildered “Yanks” haven’t watched enough of these old clips. Witless TV hosts are a global affliction. (Though that yammering Spencer surely takes the prize.)
You're not wrong. This clown was a weatherman at GMA when they did a segment on the set of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" & Patrick Stewart stormed off when Spencer came out making lame Klingon jokes during the weather segment- WEARING HIS COSTUME/UNIFORM! Stewart & Paramount execs had a huge fight afterwards. I wonder if Barry Humphries or his reps had any words after this segment, because Edna was on a roll & Spencer wouldn't shut up & Lizzie was absolutely clueless about what this really was. Despite those f'idiots, Edna gave a masterclass comedy performance. At least the studio audience was on-board & having fits of laughter.
I thought that Edna’s people probably coached tv hosts on how it works and to give Edna her space for her routine since most of them do that. These people either didn’t read the memo or are compulsive talkers.
You must be sure to purchase the pineapples with the hole already drilled in them. Also, i don't think you're supposed to actually make this mound of crap 😂
This dish reminds me of my partners mothers dish...I called it penis surprise...bannanas propped up on a plate withn2 red cherries at the base and wait...a dab of mayo on the tip... She claimed she saw it in a betty crocker cookbook...😆😆😆🤣🤣
of course dame edna came first, she has been doing her comedy routine since the 1950s, she used to have her bridesmaid on stage with her...madge..and gave the poor old dear a hard time which was very funny. mrs doubtfire was in the 80s
@honeythistle I think it would be hard to ruin Dame Edna's act, but I see your point. The fact that they are so out of touch gives her more room to move.
Great for edna- but really: a host really should do their homework.... There is one thing, being surprised in an unexpected situation - but this is just horrendously bad 'journalsim'
