Reaction To Scottish Comedian Billy Connolly Meeting Australian Indigenous Peoples

[@paulheywood2116]

I lived with indigenous people in outback Western Australia and I absolutely loved it amazing people

[@dystar112]

My beautiful Dad worked on Melville Island and made good friends with some of the Indigenous people. Love Billy ❤️ 🇦🇺

[@pixie3760]

We love Billy here ❤❤❤

[@mssuziquzi]

Everything is fresh and they only pick what they need to eat. What a stress free life. What a diverse country Australia is.

[@goaway2803]

I'm so jealous, I'd love to be able to travel around Australia and learn more about the land. My Grandma was from Thursday Island and I want to go there also. Sadly, it's bloody expensive to travel here. Thank you for another great vid and yes, we love Billy, Mate.

[@gmans777]

Time to go walkabout brother.. if it takes time, it takes time… do it… If that yearning is so great… Bloody hell… I’d like to join you

[@carokat1111]

I had the opportunity to visit Thursday Island about 18 years ago It was lovely.

[@sandrageach5955]

I loved my visit to the Tiwi Islands… Billy Connelly is amazing

[@jeremyfraser976]

Billy's the GOAT in Oz🏆👍

[@matthewbrown6163]

Billy is a bloody legend - his accent is thick & we love it trying to understand him. Billy has shown parts of the country that most people have never heard of or been to. Billy adds mystery & intrigue in his stories of his travel adventures. His comedic tones inside these travel diaries gives him the honour of unique. Whilst other travel shows use a boring monologue with the same dull tones, Billy's is very separate to all others. Not to mention he is one of the funniest buggers I have ever seen too !!! LOL.

[@sharyndoyle6362]

Billy Connelly, I wished I had of met him. He was a true and brilliant comedian and a bloody good actor. We here in Australia friggen loved him. We know he is still with us. He's not gone yet. A man of many true stories.

[@lillibitjohnson7293]

While they’re doing all of this, remember there huge salt water crocs that live there too lol

[@BAAKA8]

We Aboriginal people always showed respect to Scottish and Irish people 💯

[@tropicsalt.]

Bathurst Island and the TI's are beautiful. I've been lucky enough to visit both through work. I'm just at the start of the video, so I'll keep watching. Thanks. Edit: By TI, I mean Torres Strait Islands.

[@AnneMorley-up1qv]

Several star AFL footballers are from the Tiwi Islands, including several members of the Rioli family.

[@carolynemitchener8079]

Beautiful place ❤ I’m living in McMahons Creek, Alpine national Park in Victoria. My sister worked with the flying doctors as part of her medical training and she went out to remote indigenous areas of Australia to give health care to indigenous women and their babies.

[@davejensen7922]

Have a look at Bush Mechanics for some more classic indigenous telly

[@lozbailey9322]

I love Billy Connelly. Whether it’s his standup, movies, interviews (especially with Michael Parkinson ) or his travelogues, he’s just so funny, natural, approachable and interesting. He’s married to Pamela Stephenson, an Aussie, so for me, he has it all.

[@datwistyman]

I like Billy he is very funny and a cool bloke. I'm Australian, but never seen anything like this, (in real) but heaps on tv and KZbin. There was a show called "Bush Tucker man) that showed this stuff quite often. I'd love to see/do this 🙂

[@tropicsalt.]

Bush Tucker Man is THE legend for me.

[@bethmetcalf3447]

My family and I lived in Numbulwar when I was under 10 for a couple of years. My father & some of the locals (I can no longer remember their names as I’m now 52) used to catch crabs every weekend. I ate so many that I can no longer eat them, if I smell them I gag. I could tell you some stories though 😂 I have some great memories from growing up there 🥰

[@Just-Incredible420]

We luv Billy fuckin legend

[@davidmccarthy6390]

The 2 places Billy is most famous is the UK and Australia. We have had a "love affair" with him for decades at this point, he's an honourary Australian to a lot of us.

[@penniehead2104]

Billy Connelly is the best comedian ever. His Australian tours like this were wonderful. Followed his career since he first appeared on tv. I’m 72 now and live in Australia. Wonderful man

[@gmans777]

Awesome bit.. makes me wanna go there and hang out for a while

[@Tully_23_32]

Kurragong was my primary school house!

[@barbroericson6415]

Loved it❤❤❤

[@twoflyinghats]

I've always loved him! Btw, Van Diemen's Land was the first European name given to the large southern Island south of then Nieuw Holland by the great Dutch explorer and mapper Abel Tasman. He named it in 1642 after his sponsor, Anthony van Diemen, the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies, sent him off to explore. The British used that name till 1856 to disassociate the island from its terrible convict past and to honour its discoverer.. "Van Diemen's Land" had become a byword for horror in England because of the severity of the treatment of its convicts. They also named the Tasman Sea between Eastern Australia and western New Zealand after him. Tasman was also the first European to land on what he called Nieuw Zeeland, after the south western coastal Netherlands province of Zeeland (sea land). It was originally called Aotearoa (colloquially in modern times the Land of the Long White Cloud) by the first Māori, then Nieuw Zeeland by Tasman and anglicised to New Zealand in 1769 when James Cook visited it. It's now a strongly bilingual country with so many of Scottish heritage you wouldn't believe (like me, though born to a Kiwi in Oz) and officially Aotearoa New Zealand. Many European people incorporate lots of Māori words and terms in their English. Now, lovely Scot MSTV, can you PLEASE do something to get your terrible on-screen videos in the correct resolution? Many have been stretched so out of proportion and flattened that they're too awful to watch, so I'll go to KZbin.

[@caltravels9454]

I've been around enough and met many people, the indigenous folk are super cool and funny, not going to go into the race war we have, they are bitter people that live in the cities that can't let go of the past, I'd be here for days trying to explain it.

[@adriansheridan7447]

Do you understand why they are bitter? It's because you exterminated their people and concreted over their land. Remember ANZAC day and 'lest we forget', well fk you asking us to 'get over' genocide. You are living on aboriginal land, show some fkn respect whitey.😒

[@CarolGration]

Beautiful and interesting.

[@thisgirl5539]

Lovely!!

[@lillibitjohnson7293]

Billy is loved in australia, also he married an Australian lol

[@LoueeLouii917]

Pretty sure she's a kiwi

[@lillibitjohnson7293]

@ fair enough, same thing really though to a yank lol

[@LoueeLouii917]

What yank??

[@lillibitjohnson7293]

@ oops nvm wrong all round. I didn’t remeber who’s vid it was

[@BarbaraMacDonald-bq1lb]

Pamela Stephenson is a Australian, born in New Zealand in 1949 & moved to Australia in 1953, so she is a Aussie 👍🇦🇺

[@noellzy]

I always describe Billy as wonderful; he is full of wonder at the world, and absolutely wonderful to watch. Michael Parkinson spent some time in Aus, and Billy came over and spent time with him. One time they were in a taxi through Kings cross when Billy jumped outta the taxi and disappeared. Parky found him soon after dancing naked on top of the Coca Cola billboard. Proper Scots wildman.

[@adriansheridan7447]

This how humans should live, but i'm biased as an aboriginal gamilaroi fella

[@AndrewJens]

Thanks for this. I think you might enjoy _"Bush Tucker Man"._ There were three series (if you can find episodes on YT).

[@AndrewJens]

Turns out all the episodes are published by the ABC: kzbin.info/aero/PL7HSPnTFVAuFQkVzs3KzXjGXO78x-0HNE

[@datwistyman]

Lol should of read the comments, I just said the same thing 😁

[@BarryMacokiner1]

Never realised that Scott’s can’t say Australia 😂😂

[@Jeni10]

Your video was stretched horizontally.

[@martyjones1413]

Billy ❤

[@sharyndoyle6362]

To me, those mud crab aren't as big as they were once apon a time. Then again, it could be the terrain they are in.

[@Greg-e8z7s]

Love billy looks like he has turned white from pale blue from one his jokes about being Scottish 😂

[@gregoryparnell2775]

Blue swimmer my arse .! It was a mud crab.

[@lillibitjohnson7293]

We don’t even have a treaty with aboriginal people. It’s disgusting

[@wendyryder2708]

TOTALLY AGREE! SO SHAMEFUL!

[@ellieaquitaine6396]

Love Billy Connelly. Breaking a live crabs legs off? I'll leave the vid there. Can't watch, it's so cruel 😥

[@rodshepherd5769]

Your videos are so distorted they’re unwatchable

[@JaimeBird-n8m]

It's ashamed grog has distroyed the aboriginal culture.they where a tuff people living of the land

[@anthonypirera7598]

Is this the one he ate the worms? Watch him eating the worms made me sick 🤢 I can't watch it again

[@caltravels9454]

Billy is awesome, over does it with the swearing, don't mind swearing as most Aussies but he goes over the top, swearing with context is important, Billy swears just for the hell of it, Isaac Butterfield is my favorite comic atm, see him again in 2 weeks here in Perth, first time I saw Isaac was last year, ticket held for 3 years because of Covid. He did his best to refund everyone that didn't make the show, some peopled died in that time, forgot, moved interstate or lost interest.

[@carokat1111]

You complain about Billy’s swearing but you like Isaac Butterfield? Isaac is so crude and rude. I really don’t understand his popularity.

[@Super--Star]

Maybe be can just watch his videos, what is the point of your videos??? Viewing it in a terrible ratio?
