Billy Connolly - Football Violence

[@iansimpson7702]

Billy is a timeless,Legend!!

[@MikeWal2]

As a small boy I lived in Glasgow and my father once took me to see a Rangers match (after a couple of visits to see Queens Park - Hampden Park was near to us). My father had no liking for football and no knowledge of the inter-city rivalry between Rangers and Celtic (and I clearly was not much better as far as knowledge was concerned). Because of this - this was just after Christmas/New Year - I took with me a pair of plastic opera glasses I'd been given then and was playing with them on the train which was the last part of our journey to Ibrox. Lucky that I did, because a man on the train gently pointed out to my Dad and me that it probably wasn't a good idea to go to Ibrox with opera glasses coloured in bright green and white.

[@pauljones5278]

The greatest stand up of all times hands down

[@TheBundleofkent]

Nah, Pryor has the edge over everybody

[@lindsay8845]

Fantastic...my first job, as a 15yr old was selling the pies and bovril at Ibrox, Rangers fc. It was absolute hell. in those days, Ally mccoist was a striker and Terry butcher captain. .

[@tonybmw5785]

Not heard this in years and although I knew the punch lines I still spat a mouth full of tea all over my monitor. Genius!

[@smoog]

Tony BMW me as well. my parents had this album when I was a kid. I know the punchline by heart but I still laugh my ass off when I hear Billy say it. He had perfect comic timing.

[@michaelcarrera1]

This guy is such a legend. Love him!

[@ScotticusErroticus]

[@I.B.Rox1962]

A true classic (and one of numerous)… “jobbie” was all it took, knew it would be brilliant! “Jobbie Weecha” was my initiation to The Big Gin (c’mon at least as good as “Glas We Gin”)!

[@alexdickson8688]

I met Billy 20+ years ago was magic then and still is today

[@deanocfc21]

he is one of a dying breed, brilliant!!!

[@cheapseat]

"Put it onnnnnnnnnn...." kills me everytime.

[@7507turbo36back]

Somethings are just timeless - Superb!

[@youtubeviewer7030]

absolute classic i got this on his album called the pick of billy conolly it cracked me up then stil cracks me up now love it

[@PlankofWood1]

That is my favourite punchline ever.

[@BrianDgreat123]

Haha I love the Growling noise he makes... It sounds like the old British constable guy on all the movies.

[@ianmclean8953]

I think that's the point he's making, that this humour can appeal to millions of supporters of both sides of any derby clash anywhere in the world. They will appreciate the humour and maybe even take a little look at themselves. Personally, I like Arsenal and Rangers, but rivalries aside, I think deep down we'd all feel a bit of a loss if that opposition wasn't there anymore. There'd be other games of course, but something would be lost in the banter etc. Peace to all and merry Christmas.

[@Jamesofhull]

this is brilliant!!!!!! pure genius!!!!!!!

[@Spiderwebsider]

Reminds me of the time I took a scouse mate to see Liverpool v West Ham at Upton Park back in 81. Liverpool scored and he jumped up and punched the air wildly, shouting "YES" as he did so. The words were scarcely out of his mouth when he realised that the entire ground was silent except for him. If looks could kill... We ended up having to sneak out before the end of the match because he genuinely feared for his safety.

[@jasmoran66]

What a closing line. Top notch.

[@AdrianJenkin]

One of my favourite all time routines and the reason why I thought to start drinking vegemite on bloody cold days.

[@jcoutts10]

5:40.... I laughed sooooooo hard!!!! hahaha Billy Connolly is by FAR the best!!

[@xellestar]

It's a shame you didn't capture the video, half of billy's performance is visual. Still a funny piece!

[@biggic2004]

When you close your eyes, you can see him anyways. 😉

[@kikibooboos]

Fuckin legend Billy! Still one of my favourite jokes of all time

[@top40researcher31]

Bovril is the trademarked name of a thick and salty meat extract paste similar to a yeast extract, developed in the 1870s by John Lawson Johnston.

[@topmangaz]

Put it Onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

[@tartanarab5]

Genius.

[@TAKENnameARGH]

Radio hasn't gone anywhere! Not as long as there'r cars anyway...

[@Sutemi]

Pretty much the same has happened to me...I went to see a tv-match in a bar. Brazil national team was playing and the bar was in Minas Gerais, in the heart of Brazil. I had put on the colours of my homecountry (white n blue), but I forgot that they are also the colours of Argentina...

[@jtb3657]

King of Comedy? Yes.. that's the Big Yins title.

[@foiran]

All these years I never knew why my da had bovril in the cupboard, never knew what it was. Now I know

[@willgillies5670]

Go n get me a Bovril!

[@steverussell1000]

Even though I could see the punch line comming it's still funny. Billy Connolly could make the weather funny though.

[@RonnieThunderpeen]

Yup, that's the message he's tryin to get across.

[@mooseylad]

[@Radioclash971]

He is the number one, and the second best is far far far away...

[@zeldagoblin]

Haven't you heard? Video killed the radio star! ;-)

[@RICKYMDOGG]

[@emanboogie]

[@Huibon71288]

@NewAccountFFS So true.

[@Wiser72]

@lironlww No. Glasgow Rangers from the Scottish Premier League. Queens Park Rangers are from London and play in the English Championship League (old second division.)

[@irishchrisc]

You are right. You and I seem to be the only ones without blinkers, on in the comment section,

[@m1ll10n1977]

@DayDreamAscent well said

[@Caddellgolfingtours]

Brill Billy brill bob fay coatbridge

[@GBXS]

@AlexCottrell I'm happy another Dutchman watched this video.

[@craigramsay53]

@F12Y14N25 I still haven't gotten over 85 season for the Jamtarts-- 27 match unbeaten streak, Hearts have 5 starters sick with flu for final match, lose 0-2 to flippin' Dundee while St Mirren take a 5 goal dive to give Celtic the title on the last day of the season...have won a couple of Cups since then but they'll never get over the gazillion quid payrolls at Ibrox and Celtic Park eh...

[@BillDFC]

@theramman2795 Thanks for cementing my observations.

[@Frilledgish]

Fucking awesome joke, love the build up.

[@matt_corbett]

Can someone tell me the album this was on and year of release please.. ty in advance kind people.

[@MaIcoImZieI]

Red Star Belgrade - Glasgow Rangers CONNECTION BROTHERS!!

[@craigramsay53]

bloody priceless...could just as well a been about Hearts-Hibs too eh...

[@hollypimp]

CELTIC

[@KareemPilot]

I think the rivalry is less about religion than it is about ethnicity... It's Irish versus English... The Celtic fans see the Ranger fans as being English like those who brutally oppressed their ancestors, while the Ranger fans see the Celtic Fans as beneath them, as Irish peasants

[@craigramsay53]

@F12Y14N25 The Edinburgh version of Glasgow's Old Firm rivalry,,,

[@KareemPilot]

@fionndan I meant british and I meant Loyalist... basically what you said is what I was getting at... It sounds to me like a sort of micrchasm of "The Troubles" played out in a football game, which is all I was saying... I'm an American of 100% Irish descent. all my grandparents were Irish, specifically from Sligo, Kerry, Monaghan and Longford... so I speak as someone passionately sympathetic to the Irish people, I meant no offense

[@elizabethf1591]

Divide and Rule .

[@sebbonski007]

BOVRIL, now go an get me one.

[@Chrissyyyyyo9]

@NewAccountFFS The news, which is English put it all over the news. Mars bar is made in Berkshire, which is ENGLAND. You personally, didn't do it, but every one who had the chance to did. Did you see the Bruzil advert?

[@KareemPilot]

@CoplandNutter thats kind of what I figured... Im of 100% Irish ancestry but Im from America, so I've only heard the Ireland-based viewpoint from older relatives... so I was merely guessing that similar issues are involved with the Glascgow situation, like Northern Ireland... apparantley fionndan disagrees, but Id like to hear his perspective as I get the impression he's from up there

[@MiniLemmy]

Legendary anecdote! The funniest man on the planet in his heyday, now unfortunately a not-as-funny grumpy old man

[@stupot205]

hear hear

[@freekicking85]

@jamiewilden it's the way he tells it. Ive heard people tell this story in the office where i work. Its not very funny. Most of his jokes arn't hilarious, but billy connolly is an amazing story teller and can make a lot of stuff funny. Its what makes him an amazing comedian.

[@zeldagoblin]

My comment was a reply to someone else, not a comment on Billy...

[@KareemPilot]

@fionndan I definitely plan to take a trip over there one of these days, its very important to me. And yes I'm green! Thanks for the informative response too, i appreciate it! and yes, Billy Connolly is a hilarious man

[@craigramsay53]

Bovril--beef tea

[@TraveltheRedRoad]

@ NewAccountFFS I'd be interested to see where within the doctrines of Roman Catholicism or any branch of the Protestant denominations that demonstrate this notion that people are led to follow a football team as a means of enriching there spiritual lives.

[@MythMiles]

Thanks. And I'll leave the shoe.
