1979&80s Kenny Everett Funny Bits

[@petrolhead28]

Thanks. Tv is dull as ditchwater now. RIP Kenny. You total legend.

[@markrowley1223]

Loved Kenny Everett and still makes me laugh over 40 years later. He would send up his guests but what I really liked was that he was never cruel. RIP Kenny.

[@crazysoupforever]

So true.

[@MarjorieStoker-oj8fh]

Today's kids would love him

[@dawnjeanballard2874]

Well the ones brought up by none woke parents.

[@brianmcd9492]

The best form of comedy Laughing at one's self and the whole world as well🙂 Kenny Everett was a legend

[@AlansVideoCollection]

I wish I did.

[@sirloin8745]

And it was all done in the best, possible, taste!

[@crazysoupforever]

He was a breath of fresh air.

[@colinwilliams553]

That's what's so great about the KENNY EVERETT VIDEO SHOW from THEMES TELEVISION, there's no studio audience, the laughter you hear is from the crew and the cameramen.R.I.P, Kenny.

[@betteroffdead]

*THAMES* auntie been would not allow many things that Thames would. Much better show, I think.

[@mrsir3404]

Hard to believe that he had all the music legends on his shows, Freddie Mercury and bee gees, police, Mick Jagger, the who, never see his like again

[@michelguevara151]

he started off as a disc jockey on bbc radio

[@AlansVideoCollection]

After spells on pirate radio and Radio Luxembourg in the mid-1960s, he was one of the first DJs to join BBC radio's newly-created BBC Radio 1 in 1967.

[@66PHILB]

Kenny was very close to Freddie Mercury and was instrumental in getting Bohemian Rhapsody radio airplay. In fact he was the very first to play it when he was on Capital Radio in London.

[@carlosmunganos9080]

@@66PHILB yeah they were good pals. Are you not familiar with the story of how they both ended up dead.

[@66PHILB]

@@carlosmunganos9080 Carlos, unfortunately I am familiar with that situation. Such a sad time. I was devastated when Kenny died.

[@crazysoupforever]

I loved Kenny Everett. It all seems so juvenile now but at the time there was nothing like him. I remember thinking he couild be the next Spike Milligan. He obviously isn't in the same league as Spike but I still remember him with great fondness. I loved his comic strip-like characters and never missed a show.

[@mattnewman8454]

Used to watch him backing the day. Thought I'd have a look at this not with much expectation, being much older now, but , bloody hell I couldn't stop laughing .

[@garrywitcomb2334]

Good ol cuddly Ken,back in the day,never missed the show 😆👍👍👍

[@crazysoupforever]

Yes, he was so cuddly.

Oh Kenny,we miss you; your humour, your warmth, your humanity. RIP. 🥰

Absolutely a comic genius the likes we sadly won’t see again such a iconic funny guy still 😂 at his antics to this day 😅

[@AK-ru3sg]

Ah those were the days...

[@66PHILB]

Kenny's genius + Barry Cryer's & Ray Cameron's writing + the studio crew's genuine laughter = comedy magic.

Genius is the only word, nothing like it before or since

when i was a kid kenny was one of the best things on TV

[@paulmellon7598]

There was one Sid Snot scene where he caught about 5 or 6 cigarettes in his mouth in one throw, and even Kenny smirked before he sashayed out of shot. It was all done in the best possible taste of course.

[@NoPawn]

Almost got thrown off a bit when he asked, “Anyone got a rubber?” until I remembered that is what the UK call an eraser!

[@philipjackson4668]

Kenny was and is my favorite comedian, loved watching this show when it was originally aired.

[@andyinnes2178]

I remember Kenny’s show like it was yesterday. We all loved his humour, he was one of a kind and his show was really cutting edge at the time.

As a kid, as we probably all did, it was Captain Kremen on the radio each week with John Peel to fall asleep to. The fun at school back then, you used to wait for him on once a week on TV then blurt it all out. Great times.

[@IanSizer-co7vb]

Absolutely brilliant ahead of his time Many comparisons with Spike Milligan off the wall humour with deep meaning brilliant 😅

[@fatbelly27]

Nothing quite like this. I miss Kenny

[@stormphoenix14]

Thanks for this . I miss this guy so much. Thanks to some kindred souls at PBS12 I got to watch really silly funny shows like Kenny’s, The Pythons, the Goodies and others that totally went contrary to public tvs image up to then. They were run late night long enough to become hits before the powers that be became aware of what was going on. So this is the kind of sense of humor I grew into, in my tweens.

[@andywhite40]

Many thanks for this compilation which has brought back so many memories of laughing my head off at the genius of Kenny Everett - the Thames TV shows which this selection of hilarity were taken from are the better comedy than his BBC shows IMHO - the laughter of the crew and the risque sketches just sets them apart. Brilliant stuff!!!

[@edf9577]

Thanks for this trip down memory lane :) I'm old enough to get more of the jokes now ahahahah

[@dmcgarvey956]

[@janebattams6607]

I was about 9 when I started to watch "The Kenny Everett Video Cassette" and it made me laugh a lot 🙃. Umm then my Mum saw what I was watching and said "that's not very nice" So I enjoyed it even more .. watched it with the sound turned down when she was cooking dinner.

[@caeserromero3013]

Same here. I was tiny when this was on, but me, mum and dad LOVED Kenny. Still do.

[@1dorz]

Morecambe and Wise, Dennis Pennis, Shooting Stars and dear old Kenny. No one takes the piss out of celebrities anymore

[@garydunn3037]

I really miss Kenny's zany humour. There is nothing like it on tv today, just endless game shows, and reality shows. There is a guy on You-tube called Stevie Riks, he should have his own show. He is brilliant at taking off just about everyone in the music business.

[@mikehudson8884]

I concur Stevie Riks is brilliant.

[@crazysoupforever]

I agree. Still, who needs boring TV when we have KZbin. Stevie Riks is way too good for today's TV.

[@bossdog1480]

He did a movie with Pamela Stephenson. One of the scenes had the camera heading down a path towards an outhouse to the theme music from JAWS. The toilet door gets flung open just as the music rises to a climax and Kenny Everett is sitting there playing the music on a cello.😁 Great comic. Not any like him nowadays.

Two of the lines I remember from Kremen if the Star Corp was.. "Carla you look tired. Didn't you sleep well?" She replied " the people next door kept me awake. They were banging on the walls." Kremen said " They should do it in bed like everyone else." The other one was that someone said to Kremen that they were a country member. Kremen said "Yeah, I remember."
