3/4 The Best Of Dave Allen...The Comedy Sketches

All his best sketches

[@redred9882]

I remember watching Dave Allen as a kid in Ireland. He was only on English TV - BBC I think. He was banned in Ireland. Way ahead of his time! Genius

[@TimelordR]

The "Dueling Funerals" sketch, comic genius from Dave Allen!

[@chorusofoddities]

Just a shame it was cut to within an inch of its life

[@bikebeerrun1960]

In the funniest ways possible Dave Allen told the TRUTH ! ! ! GOD BLESS HIM !

[@MissMariQueen]

He was an atheist!

[@Rat_Queen86]

The first time I saw the funeral procession sketch I screamed laughing 😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@vasilijeb]

Country inhabited with such a humorous guys like DA can cope with all the problems of this f**n world...I LOOVE ENGLAND (Ireland, Wells, S....etc :) AND GB SPIRIT AND HUMOR ). Dave Allen, Benny Hill, Del Boy, MONTY PYTHONS (who could forget THEM???) were part of my EDUCATION ! Thanks GB and God Bless You!

[@luisreyes1963]

Too bad Dave Allen didn't say "It's A Living" at the end of that sketch.

[@cierakitty]

I needed a good laugh....and this did it...oh goodness, this was funny

[@teresemcnamara1105]

The funeral is my favourite skit thanks

[@castelodeossos3947]

The boys in those sketches must have really enjoyed it. Schoolboy humour and then being paid for it.

[@viviennepopek]

Simply the best! 👍😂😂😂😂👍

[@plum2312]

I never knew this great comedian... Dave Allen! Thanks

[@wayneewald4283]

0i He's sm icon .Even in AUST. Silly bugger!

[@deesplaylists6941]

Everytime I watch these old sketches how sad it makes me. England so clean those streets were. God only knows what its like there now.

[@ScottGpa]

Far too young Dave and far too soon. You were one of the best. If your listening, thanks for the laughs.

[@gaius_enceladus]

@@davidfasano7210 - 10th March 2005 - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Allen_(comedian)

[@angr3819]

I think he was in his sixties, but that isn't so old these days.

[@tyrssen1]

A pity Dave wasn't better known here in the US, he was great!

[@MHOification]

The sketch at the end (funeral) made me laugh intill I cried! Briljant!!

[@goranbozickovic7463]

that sketch has been my favourite for years ... always makes me lol! cheers

[@AlaaMalaeb]

pure genius!! thats what I call: CREATIVE :)

[@simeonpines4320]

I've been looking for the tree growing vicar for ages. Thanks!

[@stormhansen1499]

This is absolutely brilliant! Thanks for sharing!

[@davidfasano7210]

Good times in the 70.s......WHEN EVERYONE COULD LAUGH WITHOUT OFFENDING ANYONE!!....

[@redblade8160]

@davidfasano7210 Not everyone found it funny. What about those with small willies?

[@Val-xj6lk]

I'm honoured to be able to get your amazing work out there for all to love again, love you, and yes Davie, my god goes with me,bet you had a lot to answer too when you went!😉 Love you always ❣️ ☘️☘️🥃

[@derekmulready1523]

May your God go with you Irish citizen

[@kamenellu]

Brilliant Dave

[@davethomas1241]

He was a legend

[@Axgoodofdunemaul]

Millions of years from now, when the human race has become totally rational, there will still be fart jokes.

[@huss1205]

that one of the sad princess was hilarious...

[@dokbob5795]

It's nothing to laugh about. Which is a play on words.

[@urinalbushrat]

I remember my parents absolutely pissing themselves laughing over Dave Allen Show which used to show on Saturday Nights in New Zealand back when I was growing up in the 1970-80s. I was only allowed to watch it as I was at that tender age where it mostly went straight over my head at the time but years later my laughter echoes that of my parents from that by-gone era. Well done SociopathicFruitloop for posting it.

[@johnhannay16]

I'd forgotten just how good an all-round comedian Dave Allen was. So much better than the insipid right on stuff we have to put up with these days.

[@Gabriel11363]

For ever Allen !

[@thefreeradical2320]

Noooo ,...it's for ever and ever , ALLEN...

[@nakulsri242]

Great content. Thank you for entertaining. Bored in a house bored, 41 days of lockdown.

[@angr3819]

2 weeks to flatten the curve of a non existent pandemic of the renamed flu.

[@GavinJ37]

Given how incredibly heavy coffins are...I couldnt imagine anyone carrying them that far across town

[@PhilJonesIII]

Tell me about it. My step-mum was of 'generous' frame and I was paired up with my step-brother, the kind of man that would have to run around in a shower to get wet....and two cousins built like tanks. My step-brother and I led.....up 200 steps to the grave-plot. Then across about 200 meters of wet grass. I'm taller than my step-brother but shorter than the two gorillas... so it felt like I was carrying her alone. Tip : If you get asked to be a bearer aat a funeral then dont talk about it afterwards, or you get asked again.

[@colsuemeg]

Love the third sketch in. I remember it from years ago.

[@christinapaul7069]

Brilliant. Saw these first time round but they haven't dated.

[@bigverybadtom]

I saw Dave Allen At Large in the 1980's, but the coffin sketch was the only one I saw in this clip!

[@llewellynpatrick160]

I remember that one from the eighties myself - I'm so tempted to arrange to have it played for my arrangements.

[@williamschlenger1518]

Love the one with the princess 💕

[@orchardist1965]

Irreverent Dave Allen ,Great specially Bishops Crook. Thanks for the memories.

[@angr3819]

The Princess 😂

[@angr3819]

Only Dave 👍🤣

[@harrymakongwa1147]

Laugh at your own risk and ribs ..🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@myastroflight]

@7:53 he smiled when he should not have. It must have been so hard sometimes to keep a straight face.

[@bashsibda6289]

The Flasher must of cost a lot to make.

[@v8powerr771]

The little doggie was bloody cute

[@tiberiuroth5789]

My food.jump out of my mouth !??

[@wayneewald4283]

Sick as. Good old English humour.

[@grainneminihane625]

I think you'll find its IRISH just like Dave 🇮🇪👏👏👏

[@damiannedescu1340]

comedii uluitoare,trasnet !

[@judithhopes151]

What fun all those actors must have had masking those skits,, I bet they could tell some tales. I never heard how Dave Allen started his career , does anybody know.

[@rscott2247]

Where's the part where the alter boy leans over, turns his head to look behind him and says " all ready for you, father " ?

[@vasilijeb]

O yeah ...I was ex YU...Greetings from Montenegro now!

[@Bruce-1956]

Before P.C.

[@davethomas1241]

Yer life is shit now

[@annikanilsson6152]

Does anyone know where the two sketches beginning at 0:27 are from? Warmest thanks for all help :-)

[@xellestar]

oh man i want that clip

[@Stoertebekerxyz]

have you fart? ^^

[@tulliusagrippa5752]

I liked the one about the bishop prick.

[@glen6945]

well--pays the rent

[@justkibet1125]

Someone explain the joke at 2:10

[@jessevanes1]

parts are missing,especially the funeral scetch

[@naikavinash1111]

did u fart was good

[@grogery1570]

i had an Irish girlfriend who told me about her trip to confession after a romantic date we had. The priest told her to say 3 hail Mary's, two our fathers and a glory be as penance. I thought it should have been three glory be's!!! I was pretty fit then!

[@johnleach7879]

In Lord's view, Mr Allen treads the line between outreagous and acceptable, broadly.

[@luciatilyard2827]

Heavens there's Zeta Catherine Jones in the first sketch!

[@GavinJ37]

+Lucia Tilyard The first sketch was the confession booth scene. Where did you see Zeta jones?

[@luciatilyard2827]

+GavinJ37 The bride at 0.53 looks very much like her as she was in 'The Darling Buds of May', if you saw it. I think i was on in the late 70s/early 80'. I'm not sure when this was made, - I don't think it can be her, because Dave Allen was generally a bit earlier, but it might have been the early days of her career. She was quite stunningly gorgeous a that time.

[@joachimschoder]

+Lucia Tilyard What do you mean she WAS gorgeous? ;)

[@LowryYT]

Anyone who wonders what was the church scene at around 2:50 hes asking who farted

[@brane4175]

the princess looks like Kate Middleton !

[@MrMrh1958]

EviIDuck Not in the same class!

[@forestsoceansmusic]

I just came here from the Young Ones, which hasn't stood the test of time for me -- seems to be mostly shouting and slapstick. Good to see clever comedy instead.

[@johncatto5019]

Get it right up you, you woke pc brigade, I will always think Dave Allen is great. You lot can be offended if you like.

[@ianjones4116]

Priceless. Even better nowadays. 😂😂👍
