Bagpipes Ruin the Orchestra | Live at the Apollo | BBC Comedy Greats

[@hepcat-bob]

One of our local community bands had an arrangement of 'Amazing Grace' that called for an oboe solo. The director decided he would rather have it played on pipes. His daughter is a friend of mine, and she asked me to do it. It was great and the crowd and the rest of the band loved it.

[@peggymaystacy9358]

Just saw this and laughed my head off. At 64 I am learning to play the bagpipes! Always loved the sound, would make me cry at parades I remember.

[@MsGerda2011]

Brilliant 😂😂😂.... but I love the bagpipes 😍

[@Sunshine-zm1fx]

Say what you will about the bagpipes, but I still cry when I see that scene in Star Trek where Scotty is playing Amazing Grace at Spock's funeral.

[@swedishpsychopath8795]

Spock died? I think I saw him in every episode?

[@animaltvi9515]

​@Swedish Psychopath he dies at the end of the 2nd feature film. Which is why star trek 3 is called the search for spock. .

[@mr.silbergleit5724]

the bagpipes r beautiful n very emotional

[@puirYorick]

The French gave us ... syphilis? In the general vicinity of the triangle. Never let a good set-up line pass unmolested.

[@peggymaystacy9358]

Now that is funny! Good one!

[@charlieadams2084]

I died from laughter omg

[@kevinbennett7615]

He stomped all over the "French gave us the horn" joke.

[@northumbrianhighlander5528]

Love how people are upset that he is joking about the bagpipes.

[@yaguarete79]

JarlofVestfold LOL same here. I love bagpipes but c'mon this is humor.

[@thefive8th741]

Outrage as Scottish man jokes about bagpipes

[@hepcat-bob]

I play the pipes, but I also tell jokes about them.

[@Bill-cv3dy]

Love the bag pipes, call to battle scare the shit out of all the lowlanders,

[@veefrain6232]

My dog is wondering what danny was doing, he just turned to me like- WHAT was THAT.

[@vindobonensis]

I went on a tour of Edinburgh Castle a while ago and at one point the long-suffering tour guide remarked that no matter how much you like them in principle, after listening to them for hours on end bag-pipe music starts to sound like you're unsuccessfully trying to strangle a cat.

[@b3blueblue]

I love Danny Bhoy's jokes!

[@perryrush6563]

My dog WAS asleep UNTIL he made the bagpipe noises. I just got an eveil eye over that

[@LadyDemetria]

Please Danny Bhoy air the full sketch because I've only seen it once with one witness to prove there is more! "What is that?! It's still breathing!!

[@h.calvert3165]

Don't get me wrong, I've got Scottish blood & I love my pipes. But. . .they do sound like a jar full of enraged bees! 🐝

[@jeremysmith54565]

Or a cat being strangled, having most of my grandparents parents being from Scotland lol

[@janetmcginn907]

He forgot the triangle! Should’ve been a great little ting at the end lol

[@Zeihanjr]

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen!!

[@TheNinseNanse]

alan webb then watch the rest of this performance! This video leaves out some really good parts :)

[@SigmarAO]

I wish the bagpipes sounded like that. Sounds ten times better than the real thing

[@LadyDemetria]

I wish I could find the end of sketch, where he goes on about the bagpipes still breathing

[@WW-jp2yq]

To all of you who are hating on this for making fun of bagpipes I have one question for you. Why are you here?

[@nicolarollinson4381]

Brilliant comedian...

[@morganrobinson2436]

As it is the holiday season, the hotel I work for has employed a bagpiper to play each evening for the guests. Each night on the weekends the piper enters the hotel lobby, does a slow round in the lobby, jamming away on his bagpipe. Ever tried to check guests in to a hotel with a bag piper playing 50 feet away from you??

[@christineduddleston343]

Love this

[@barefootbeachrunner9498]

Ah either the bag pipe musicians are here or there is a drunk scottish football team outside strangling a chicken 😁😁

[@roxanelvgsch]

Danny boy never been to an Andre Rue orchestra then .. he loves using bag pipes 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙌🏼

You've cut it short - missed that part where he expels the air and 'its still breathing'.

[@wellygurl86]

I cry with laughter every time i see this video 😂😂😂😂😂

The bagpipes are used from Iceland to Kazakhstan!

[@sarahflynn9395]

We complain about the bagpipes so much when we hear them. Every morning. across the lake. It's mostly jokingly, I don't *hate them*...I'm Scottish, but we find it hilarious.

[@johnnythebagpiper9296]

hey watch what you say about the bagpipes

[@MeishaAthma]

I once had a chance to play them. The effort it took to simply fill up & prepare that bag made me respect all bagpipe players. Kudos to you Johnny - keep on playing with those powerful lungs.

[@johnnythebagpiper9296]

thank you

[@joshdvaidson5227]

Exactly

[@peaceLove1988]

@Karen Arnold-McGregor No I am not your dad.

[@markdriscoll579]

I play the bagpipes and I laughed my ass off. you have to have thick shoulders sometimes I still play like that but I like the way I sound... comedy is good we have to learn how to laugh at ourselves. back in the old days nobody was insulted now today it's not true comedy it's sarcasm, and if anybody says anything or makes a joke not politically correct they say it's racist I'm a bagpiper and I didn't find it offensive at all I found it quite entertaining and funny

[@daviddoherty4429]

The combination of Scots and India (I think) accents make a harmonious warm sound unlike the screeching bagpipes

[@nameofthepen]

The Irish gave the bagpipes to the Scots as a joke, but the Scots haven't got the joke yet. ;-))

[@Spud4X]

Joke!!! We'll screw up any band. And we mean it. This is _Sparta_ I mean *Scotland*

[@DanTheDangerousePig]

We like the sound, I can listen to it all day!

[@kpzcbttp]

The Irish are too thick to think of that.

[@mercedeswalt6621]

Hahaha!

[@greersaxon1262]

nameofthepen .ur absolutely correct. I wish the rest of the world would get that !

[@PenneySounds]

This is what happens when people only hear bagpipes at parades, where there's like 10 of them being played poorly and clashing with each other.

[@Mickeycolu]

I'm a bagpipe player and the bagpipes has a really nice sound

[@NutsTesticles]

+Michael Columb im a bagpipe listener and no it does not

[@NKWoodworks]

+NutsTesticles Yes it does, Weird Al

[@grmasson]

I believe the reason bagpipers are always marching is a failed attempt to escape the terrible noise.

[@bludgerabled]

I also appreciate the sound of 'dying cat'.

[@richardknighton1112]

is the piece of music he does, before he brings in the bagpipes, an actual piece? it sounds very familiar.

[@cosmicboom4010]

I am pretty sure it is from feris bueller's day off

[@grmasson]

Yeah, all bagpipe tunes sound exactly the same.

[@v1ncen715]

lol Yeah , it was created by Feris himself. And then, 200 years ago, Luigi Boccherini composed it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYSoYmiqgaeXqdE

[@HAIckes]

Marc - head over to kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYSoYmiqgaeXqdE - it's Luigi Boccherini ...

[@Xogroroth666]

... The bagpipe is not a Scots instrument. In fact, Nero, you know, that jolly ol' Caesar that accidentally etcetera, is painted and described playing the bagpipe. Where PRECISELY the bagpipe came from is unknown, though fact is, the Scots adapted the instrument as theirs. Do note, I LOVE bagpipe... And Scotland!

[@drrd4127]

He never said it was a Scottish instrument, he said it was the national instrument. Also, the Great Highland Bagpipe with the 3 drones is very much Scottish, it actually sounds worse than the other types of bagpipes but it is much louder and catches your ear.

[@Xogroroth666]

@@drrd4127 I know, darn. I am giving out a slightly more explanation into this weapon (YES, WEAPON. John Malcolm Thorpe Fleming Churchill. Even MORE lethal in combination with a Longbow.) And no, this too is mere deeper insight given into the aptly named Bagpipe.) Not a "new attempt" to set something straight", like you assumed incorrectly. :) IF I were setting something straight, I would have begun with "Incorrect." or something alike.

[@youmustcreateachanne]

He has the hardest time maintaining accents. His French & his Spanish/Hispanic both slip easily into Italian.

[@PluralPaul]

And yet that makes him great. He's more focused on the joke than the accent, which I think is pretty good.

[@thumbsdownbandit]

Apparently, the flute is from India.

I decided one day the absolute worst musical instrument combination would be a bagpipes and the harpsichord. Both are horrible wailing screechy instruments. What kind of demented composer would put them together!? Someone try it, OK?
