Billy, I hope you see this. There has never a darkened and black dog day, that you have not saved me from. I will always be grateful. With love and Thank you.

[@tonypap1]

Such an underrated joke. The build up to the punchline is just brilliant and the punchline is just the best ever. The world needs a Glaswegian Pope it really does.

[@SirAntoniousBlock]

Billy Connellys punchlines are usually an afterthought.

Billy was a genius actor/playwright... Why actor/playwright...? Because he could draw you into his personal universe, his mini play with special effects, costumes, cast, crew and screen writing you can genuinely relate to. The Cardinal is a theatrical masterpiece... full stop.

My all time favourite bit from Billy. I remember telling my pastor this. Good thing he has a sense of humour.

[@Rojata19]

Love this! 😂 😂 😂 First time I saw this back in the 90's I absolutely howld with laughter and nothings change! 😂 😂 😂

[@bravenew1934]

The appeal and relatability of this routine cannot be overstated, especially when coming from a Scottish Catholic school background. Visits from high-ranking clergy were a semi-regular thing at least up until the 90s (ours actually had met the pope at least once) and for all I know continue right up until this day… “Yes/no/dunno your eminence!”

[@sandragustafsson3125]

YES! This is my favorite bit by Billy, and it's been gone from KZbin for quite a while. And now it's back! THANK YOU!!!

[@freebirdh604]

Oh my word, I remember this skit now from decades ago, thank you for the reminder, 👍☮️

He broke down so many barriers with his simple view of the absurdity of religion. His version of the crucifixion is a joy to behold.

One of my favorites my family is Dutch and we have some Catholic and other religions on our Family. I'm like Billy and we are like the Swiss in WWII when it comes to religious things Neutral but that scech always makes me laugh. I love religious humor. My family are Mormon converts post WWII most of us gave that up. A young Catholic Preist in training said you know Unlike Mormons Catholics get to drink beer. I told him he'd make a great car salesman. We both laughed. 😁
