[@johngill2390]

One of the best comedians the UK ever produced, his deliverance of any joke was unique. Sadly passed Bernard has passed. This was produced at the Embassy club inn Manchester UK , Where Bernard appeared ever weekend without fail. RIP big man.

[@fatlad5090]

Bernard passed away in 2007 at 77 years old. watch Bernard manning beyond the grave brilliant. RIP big man the best comedian ever.

[@jameswaugh646]

[@TheWelwyn21]

[@paulinebentley7547]

[@mrsiborg]

I saw Manning back in the day in his Embassy Club, I live about 4 miles from there. Don't walk in that club unless you have extremely thick skin, strictly no Karen's allowed!

[@johnmanning5568]

They’re called Karens!

[@justsomedude1488]

Them jokes went straight over your head 😂😂

[@jamesthomas5109]

😁😅😂

[@stevens5541]

More like straight through his head...there is nothing in there for anything to register

[@martinhill9261]

He doesn't get it at all .Taking it literally.

[@peterwright5249]

Now we know why the Americans ain’t got our humer

[@andrewq159]

BM's accent & the references to 80s events make much of it difficult to understand for many Brits, let alone people from other countries.

[@liambrennan-graphic-designer]

Bernard died in the summer of 2007, he raised millions of pounds for charity and made people laugh till the day he died. R.I.P.

[@kipp1231]

Still makes people laugh from the grave RIP to an absolute legend.

[@theveryfirst]

BM was a kind man and did a lot for charity.

[@JacknVictor]

I like Bernard, but that means nowt. However much good for charity, just remember. So did Jimmy Savile.

[@aswadsaswad1759]

Isn't that chubby brown who does the charity work?

[@samuelgarrod8327]

But he hated pakis.

[@johndobb4723]

RIP funny men like Bernard Manning, comedians nowadays are so politically correct their no longer funny

[@t1000eg]

The best comedian that’s ever lived had the pleasure to see him at least once in my life rip Bernie x

[@kipp1231]

Had a drink with him in Blackpool back in the day. Absolute legend.

[@seed8325]

one of the greatest to ever do it, a lot of this is going right over this guys head

[@BunniMonster]

Bernard died years ago, gotta be almost 15 now. He was basically.. ugh.. "cancelled".. from TV land back in the 80's but was still touring the clubs right up until he died.

[@kipp1231]

They may have banned him but he's the only person who ever televised their own obituary. "Never let em stop you laughing"

[@johnnash2815]

He died in like 2007 or something, had a joke read at his funeral 'What's black, 10 miles long, and smells off piss?' The Queue to piss on my grave

[@TheOverlordOfProcrastination]

This guy was a legend. Nobody could tell a gag like him. He reminds me of an 18 certificate George Burns.

[@DaveyL1954]

Interesting to see your comment about the two Jews at 2.41. It isn't offensive. IT'S A JOKE. It's funny. You know? Humour. Why not start a joke with two black guys....it isn't instantly offensive, in the same way as a joke about two white guys isn't offensive. And there's your problem. You didn't hear the joke out. It's a funny joke. The problem with snowflakes these days is they deem anything they don't get as offensive. Humour doesn't compute in their brains. I had the fortunate opportunity of working with Bernard Manning in the early 80s. Gad was he funny. He also sang beautifully too. Did much work for charity. The best put down line he had was to a pain in the arse heckler. He wouldn't shut up. Bernard finished him off with the line "When you go home tonight on your bicycle, will you be careful not to scratch my Rolls Royce as you ride past!!!"

[@poppasmurf]

Best crack I ever heard from Bernard Manning at Quaffers in Bredbury, about 1990, when a woman kept interrupting him. "You've got all night to earn a living, dear, I've only got an hour."

[@petermizon4344]

BERNARD IS THE ONLY MAN I KNOW WHO SPOKE AT HIS OWN FUNERAL, HE WAS DEAD BUT NARRATED IT

[@DannoTheDarkOne]

Haha, dude of you think this is bad, watch the first episode of a show called "Love thy neighbor" it's so politically incorrect but hilarious too and the chemistry between the main characters is wonderful

[@Scitch-et4vk]

This guy is clueless lmao prime example of getting annoying over stuff you know nothing about

[@777petew]

Bernard used cruel humour that made us choke with laughter. Not acceptable today, but he made fun of everyone. Northern England used to a grim place, and cruel humour helped people to cope. He was very funny. If you were offended, then hard luck.

[@leylaevans9116]

i think this blokes drunk, he doesn't get the jokes.

[@jackwatsonepic626]

HIS AMERICAN they don't get our humor they laugh at David Chappelle for example to me that says it all

[@poppasmurf]

He is certainly under the influence - of I don't know what!

[@dennistaylor3009]

The king of comedy and remember it's just a laugh magic.

[@Rog5446]

Well done Herman, that's the best impersonation of a black rapper I've seen.

[@kipp1231]

Met him in Blackpool and he was an absolute gentleman. Bought me and my pals some drinks and chatted with us for about half an hour. And he was fucking hilarious.

[@davidcorbett1713]

Great standup from the best comedian back in the day.

[@StephenChadwick-rr5pm]

Mid 80s ,Britain's best comedian,use to go in Bernards Embassy club Saturday afternoon,he used to send a horse racing tip ,and it always won ,won me a few quid many times ,bookies a minute from the club,RIP Bernard👍

[@jasonmullaley3234]

Used to live in a place called Crumpsall 2 miles from the club when comedians were comedians

[@davidbowie2046]

Love the way Americans say Bernard :) Seen him many times years ago. Used to deliberately sit at the front, so he could take the piss out of us! :)

[@kipp1231]

🤣🤣🤣he ripped me an my pal a new arsehole in a pub in Blackpool and had a drink with us after the show (cuppa) And got us a pint each.

[@johnhogan9722]

The video dates from 1983 and the guy lighting up at the back of the stage is my Dad who played double bass for Bernard from 1958 until 1987. I still have his bass.

[@davefourthree]

American ain’t got a clue

[@chuckynickolodean8420]

The King of Comedy and very kind and Generous man...

[@stoneyuk]

This is like 1970’s 1980’s please correct me if I’m wrong.. but these days too many snow flakes.. I’m sick of my fucking generation and I’m 23

[@vashna3799]

I love how Americans pronounce “BerNard”.

[@jameswaugh2150]

Bernard manning past away in 2007 at the age of 76 and is buried in Manchester with is family

[@stevelecocq9629]

Best ever standup

[@drwhatson]

Bernard Manning was brought up a Catholic, but had Jewish ancestry so he can hardly be accused of antisemitism.

[@martinhill9261]

Bernard Manning ,Billy Connolly and George Carlin::the three best.

[@petermizon4344]

HE DID NOT PICK ON ANYONE THING, EVERYBODY GO IT LOL , HE SAYS HE WASNT RACIST BECAUSE HE INSULTED EVERYBODY

[@jasperedwards2713]

joke nun bus driver theres 2 versions

[@justinneill5003]

Some friends of mine went to see him, and one of their group was very short, very fat and handicapped. Bernard spotted him and shouted “Son, you’ve only got one thing going for you.” “What’s that?” the lad asked, eagerly. “You’re white.”

[@missyotsuba8508]

I used to often go to his 'Embassy Club'. Saw him countless times. If I remember correctly there used to be a Maccy D's quite close to it. That Maccy D's was fooking great. They used to do all kinds of their own stuff and at way under normal prices. You could get a burger that was a BigMac but instead of a slice of bread in between the patties you got a chicken burger. And, it was only £2.

[@jackwatsonepic626]

He died on the 18th of June 2007 R I P he was the best There's only chubby left whose like him , to me

[@Anybloke]

Manning was Jewish on his dad's side btw: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Manning See the Early Life section.

[@25dimensionsfrancis42]

He would not be allowed on stage or any form of media today.

[@themanftheworld8439]

Was top of the bill in Vegas for many years.

[@malcolmbrown7477]

Don't watch anymore british humor course you will never understand it

[@thomasalexand]

Manning was Jewish.

[@mikeede49]

He was R.C. He was an altar boy at his local church and attended Mount Carmel Catholic school. Even if he had been Jewish why make a comment about it?.

[@jojoandkeith6612]

Not offensive at all does anyone know what joke is😂😂

[@scottfowler50421]

Beranard manning was the greatest comedians. Unfortunately he died in 2007 Having been admitted two weeks earlier for a kidney complaint. Rip

[@finncullen]

When was he banned? When was he cancelled? He worked right up until he retired. He stopped appearing on TV at the same time that ITV stopped showing stand-up comedians in general and TV had always been a tiny part of his career which was running and appearing in the club he owned. There is a lot more talk about "cancel culture" than there is actual "cancelling" --- Netflix is full of comedy specials right now in which the comedians make their entire act revolve around "OMG I AM SO OFFENSIVE I AM NOT ALLOWED TO SAY THESE THINGS" --- and saying them anyway to a global audience and making a fortune.

[@Millennial_Manc]

He was banned from TV for a long time after he said bollocks in the 70s

[@markriley5863]

This was 40.years ago and Bernard Manning died years ago.

[@robsmith6281]

Bro needs a blunt to go with the beer.

[@leewilson2261]

Unfortunately, this true British comedy will go over the head of Americans. It's a cultural difference between the 2 countries.

[@karlmeadows4986]

Probably about 1984 , he died a while back

[@zhardoum]

Bernard Manning was a comedian from the 70’s and 80’s in the Uk.. he was funny.. for 70’s and 80’s Uk.. the Uk like most of the world moved on.. Bernard Manning was stuck in the 70’s..

[@johneastwood3039]

It didn't move on it went to shit.

[@rizmark5522]

He was a great comedian

[@gazed1435]

Use to go Bernard's club a lot

[@LeeLoftus]

No he passed years ago lived on me on main way google the bernard manning club thats still there

[@smithpm81]

funniest comedian ever

[@personifiedape5347]

Watch some of his stuff from the 90s this is from 1982 this video. He changed with the times. He got dirty jokes as he got older as you could say more and swear more on tv in the U.K. He died in 2007.

[@stetez7814]

Get more of him on!!😂

[@QuagmiresDooflab]

It's Bur-nuhd Manning. Not Buh-nard.

[@heatherboardman7004]

The American does not comprehend the jokes plus he is pished

[@jamesdickson6775]

Watch b.m beyond the grave

[@andywrong3247]

He is dead now, yes it was an old clip, there is more modern stuff, but I sense you don't get him because there was no belly laughs, maybe next time keep off the weed & booze.

[@Griffo5446]

Your pissed mate

[@monkeyhousescouse]

I think the person reacting didn't quite understand the jokes / humour he was barely laughing at the punchlines, typical American 😅

[@anthonyjohnston7969]

😂😂😂😂

[@kenirving5240]

BErnard, not BernArd!

[@justinvardy2652]

Its about 1992
