Billy Connolly - Colonoscopy - World Tour of New Zealand

[@garywagner2466]

Absolutely accurate. The first small, almost inconspicuous warning is easy to miss or take lightly. Don’t. You only have seconds before the eruption. You will begin to empty of everything you have ever eaten or thought about eating. Once it starts, it doesn’t stop until you are a walnut with lava burns where you never want to have lava burns. But cancer is much, much worse.

[@ieuanhunt552]

an when it comes to cancer an ounce of prevention is worth a planet sized amount of cure. oh we found a few polyps in your last check up. few quick snips and some dissolving stitches ad you're fine. But if you didn't take everybody's advice and get regular checks and those get worse. Now we have to pump radioactive acid and caustic venom into your bloodstream for the next 6 months.

[@garywagner2466]

Catch it early and the survival rate is quite high. Fail to catch it early, and the survival rate is much lower. Get checked. Play this clip if you feel stressed.

[@bunnyslippers191]

I have had 2 colonoscopies and the best thing I've found to cope with the burning asshole is Bag Balm. A liberal coating right after you take the laxative pills but before the diarrhea starts and then after every trip to the loo protects those tender tissues. Wonderful stuff.

Billy Connolly was one of the funniest Standup Comics of all time. He's 81 years old now, retired, lives in Key West Florida with his wife, and battling Parkinson's Disease. I watch KZbin video's of his Comedy Shows whenever I need a good laugh, which is quite often these days. I wish him good health, and a happy life. Thank you Billy.

If I feel like a good laugh, I like a variety of comedians, I'll watch them on DVD, and Billy of course who is my favourite.

[@davewilson4058]

I never stopped laughing at the toilet description. It was so accurate. Here in the Waikato New Zealand, I too had to have a colonoscopy 3 years ago at the age of 84. The laxative was definitely the worst part, but I had to take it over two days. On the day I went to Waikato Hospital in Hamilton I was ushered into a cubicle with a team of 4 or 5 nurses, all female. I was placed on the bed on my side, my bare arse was prepared and the procedure began. I could watch my insides appear on a convenient wall. monitor. I felt no discomfort during the process. The team were so professional and did their very best to minimise any embarrassment. When it was all over I returned to retrieve my clothes. Whilst I was dressing, the Head Nurse entered and said, "Having to stick something up your bum, I think I deserve a hug." I duly complied and we both had a laugh. She made what could have been very traumatic, into something special. I am so grateful to that nurse and her team, so if they ever get to read this, THANK YOU SO MUCH, all of you. You are a credit to your profession and I will never forget your kindness to an old and very shy man. The upshot unfortunately was, that I was diagnosed Colon Cancer and had to go back into Hospital for a major operation. I have recovered well and 3 years later I'm still going strong,

As I sit here laughing so hard at this video, I have just gotten out of the loo after 2.75 hours of spasmodic firehose squirts. My legs went numb. This is my first colonoscopy a year to the day after the previous colonoscopy where a very large mass was discovered. I had colon surgery 48 hours later, then 9 Rounds of Chemotherapy starting 6 weeks after surgery. I am still here, thanks be to God, recovering and now having a peek after surgery. It was great watching a video on my cell phone in the loo after taking bowel prep. I've never laughed so hard. What better way to make a yukkie process a little easier to handle? Everything Billy says is true however, his description is so spot on and better than anyone could possibly make up. Tomorrow is my big day and afterwards, no matter the outcome, I will reward myself with a nice bag of ice to my bum.

I too had a colonoscopy, & nearby it was 'party in the park' day. While sitting, after drinking the evacuation liquid I heard Yazoo singing The Only Way Is Up-it really wasnt😅 I dunno what the hospital gave me but they could've gone up 'there' with a marching band. It was the best feeling 😊

True story. I've had two of these. I'm cracking up because I can relate. And...because doc says I won't need another one.

Omg Billy lmao I love you. When I found out you visited my hometown (Gander, NL)and I never saw you i was devastated. You never ever fail to make me laugh. I’m here in ma bed, in the dark, with my old dog (15) and busting out laughing. Now, she’s deaf and blind so she can’t hear this but she feels the bed shake, comes to her feet, hair sticking out everywhere wondering what’s going and sending me off again. Lol TY so very very much for every laugh and every tear. Oh and I spent quite a bit of time in Clydebank about 15 yrs ago 😁👏❤️

The fact is that he's telling the truth. I've been there when I had my Colonoscopy years ago.

Having had this experience personally, Billy's descripton was so amazingly accurate that I was laughing so hard I fell to the floor and went into the fetal position holding my sides to stop the pain. Brilliant!

It was accurate, except for the fact that most people have to take the powder, whereas Billy had tablets.

I remember the first time I saw this man. It was when he was acting on Head of the Class. "Good morning, Geniuses!". He made me hope I would get at least one teacher as awesome when I grew up.

This was hysterical. So descriptive. So funny.
