Just comedy gold. The observation. The timing. The intelligent way she tells the stories and delivers the punchline at the right moment is just second to none I just love our Edna 😍
@@paolamura3497 right? What’s up with all of these upright people commenting on many comments when they call her she. The queen of England does not name men Dame, am I right?
@MichaelKingsfordGray Yeah. Love her she’s cracked me up with her appearances/own shows for 30+ years now. And that natural hair colour is just stunning too!
This is one of my favourite Dame edna appearances. I laughed so hard. Thankyou for so many years of laughter and entertainment Dame Edna. A true star, may you rest in peace.
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face,,,
@howdj 2 famous British pop singers Tom Jones and Cliff Richards, very different people, and she deliberately confuses them as if she doesn't know whom she's meeting

I grew up watching Dame Edna and it still makes me laugh to see how much guests sweat in her presence 😂 I just wish we had got to see more of Barry Humphries, such an articulate, clever man 😊
Barry Humphries is on record as saying that he found it difficult at the start to "make it" in America. Part of the reason was apparently that many Americans thought of him as a "drag act", whereas in fact he maintains he is an actor playing - in this case - a female character. He is now 87 years of age and retired though it has occasionally seemed a little bit like one of the many retirements of Frank Sinatra!
@@salt_cots We had Milton Berle but he didn't act like a woman. He acted like a man in drag and for some reason people found him to be funny. Not me. I never cared for him. Maybe people here didn't like to see a man actually acting like a woman and that's why Dame Edna didn't catch on much. What a shame. She's so funny!
Barry Humphries was, without any shadow of doubt, a bona fida comic genius. Her two character creations Dame Edna Everage and Sir Les Patterson were always utterly hilarious.
@@glenmale1748 Yes I know Barry Humphries is still alive. I made a mistake in writing ‘was’ instead is of ‘is’. The edit comment option is not working so I cannot change it!.
@@tj.espygil4544 my dad isn’t Tom Jones His singing was the same and he looked the same bless my lovely dad RON GILBERT .🌹. Thanks for your lovely text 🙏
R.I.P. Barry Humphries (Dame Edna). We thank you for all the laughs you provided with your incredible wit, facial expressions and hilarious costumes. You were born to bring joy and side splitting laughter to us all. Thank goodness for RU-vid we can continue to laugh and even cry from laughing through all the clips available to us. I suspect that many people will take advantage of this and maybe even have Dame Edna parties while viewing these HILARIOUS clips for years to come. If you don't laugh at theses clips you probably should see a doctor and have your funny bone checked out for they are guaranteed to make you laugh. Thank you Salt Clots for this tiny snippet that in itself is hilarious.
I know he holds the great distinction of the Order of Australia, but I've always been surprised that "Bazza" hasn't been knighted - unless of course he has turned it down. I occasionally wonder whether the original vexation of some Australian politicians against the other big character Sir Les Patterson still holds and has withheld a knighthood. I believe that at one stage the Australian parliament debated whether they should ban him playing Sir Les, because of the adverse publicity.
The Dame, interviewing Jane Seymour, asked her views on marriage - “After all you’re an expert, you’ve been married three times”. Safe, because Humphries himself married three times.

Dame Edna sounds so sweet and compassionate, but there are sharp barbs and arrows contained in her sweet remarks.... cruelty hidden by niceness.... this is exactly the humour the Brits love!
It is comedy gold however Tom Jones and Barry Humphries have been friends for decades and a long time before this classic in 2002. Mind you, Tom J would have not had a clue what was going to come of Edna's mouth until she dropped it..

We had the great opportunity to see Dame Edna in performance a number of years ago in San Francisco. Absolutely hilarious. You couldn’t sit to close to the stage or you could find yourself on the stage and part of the act.

I saw Dame Edna live on stage some years ago. Barry Humphries was a scream! He called up a young woman from the audience. He proceeded to call her mother-in-law and put her on speaker for the whole auditorium. The poor woman didn't know what was going on! The audience was in stitches.
Barry tells of one very awkward incident where he had been haranguing a woman in the audience and had called her up - only to find that she was blind and she came up with her friend guiding her. He felt absolutely dreadful but also realised as a professional comedian he had "to drive through the skid" and so he said, "Well at least you didn't bring the dog." Apparently no one laughed more than the lady herself!
I saw Barry Humphries on a St Kilda tram. He was not yet famous and was persuading a Little Girl to accompany him wherever. No one on the tram attempted to stop them when hé succeeded.
Well this is impressive - this short clip of the late, great Barry Humphries is rapidly approaching 1 million views. What a tribute to his artistry and comedic genius! Even despite Sir Leslie Colin Paterson, the work and the writings of Bazza have really made me love (and visit) Australia.
