This is NOT your average talk show!!! It’s your EVERAGE riotous masterpiece!!!

[@glennsanders2962]

really!

[@BlueSix100]

This is a masterclass in comedy genius…I come back here and watch it on repeat as it makes me laugh so much. R.I.P. Barry Humphries - an absolute legend in the truest sense of the word.❤❤❤

[@dlk1dlk1]

Do you think Chevy Chase knew about the chair flipping in advance?

[@photo161]

...and shocking to realize how few of these wonderful people are still with us...

[@jcarterjoseph9066]

Never missed it during its initial run on NBC Saturday evenings. It has aged well. Dame Edna will be around forever, thanks to the miracle of video. Genius all the way.

[@shanibloome]

These types of characters made us laugh so much back in the day that most of us didn’t have time to be sad…RIP Barry & Dame Edna

[@Vejur9000]

Honestly, Kim Basinger is an all time great movie beauty. She’s always been that beautiful.

[@xxyes8879]

LOL....I think of a talk show as a monologue interrupted by total strangers. Great comeback Edna.

[@enriqueali]

So THAT'S where Graham Norton got his flip backwards ejector chair idea from! 😆😆😆

[@kzimmerman2211]

I remember the George Hamilton sketch from back when this originally aired. That was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen.

[@cazzad5977]

I don’t know how Madge kept a straight face lol. Rest in love Dame Edna.

[@boinnng]

I loved this series when it aired. There were only three or four episodes though. This was my introduction to Dame Edna and Madge. It’s too bad she wasn’t better well known here in the US. This show could have run for years. Such brilliance. At least there are all of the shows she did in England and Australia that were made. I’m ever so glad to have seen Dame Edna live twice. So hysterical. So clever. Bravo and RIP Edna and Madge. Thank you for the magic and laughter.

This was before the ''cancelled culture'' right now Amazing how Dame Edna predicted the future of ''cancelled''.

Chevy Chase, what a drag. He looks mad.

[@aussiedadreviews]

Kim B is on point and rolling well with Dame E.

[@geupelboi]

Chevy Chase comes across as completely humorless. He doesn't seem to have the slightest notion as to what Dame Edna is all about. Didn't he know that he was going to be sitting next to somebody who was actually FUNNY???

[@tigergreg8]

I know this comment is 2 years old, but it is exactly how I felt watching Chase.

[@tigergreg8]

Leen, Chevy was always known to be a total dick on the set. He was hard to get along with.

[@burgersbeansandchips]

That was fear. One can only play along with Dame Edna for so long before she inevitably eviscerates her guest with the last thing they were expecting. All of these American Hollywood A-listers were used to being pampered by hosts, they wanted Edna to do this to them but when the moment came, very few could contain themselves. Just look at the other interviews with the nervous inappropriate laughing, they were all shitting themselves!

[@blairribeca5858]

@@tigergreg8 I met his sister 25 years ago and she assured me that he was indeed a total dick.

This is why Kim was all the rage back in the day! Even so, she seemed particularly enamoured with >> in awe of Dame Edna? 😙 I most loved the way how Kim playfully pats Dame Edna's knee, before caressing Edna's lower leg emphatically! How Barry held himself together I don't know either??? 😙😙😉😉

[@markwalters4835]

Quite somber moment at 44.44 when Dame Edna quotes 'Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be' - Robin Williams for a moment looks quite reflective, kind of sad especially knowing what we now know of his depression struggles RIP Barry Humphries and Robin Williams

[@xxyes8879]

maybe but he didnt kill himseld due to depression, but rather due to his fast deteriorating dementia. I will do exactly the same if I am in that position. It was a logical decision.

[@antonglas7488]

Kin Basenger was almost 40 when she appeared on that show and she was still hot. I always feel sad when I see Robin Williams, he had a tragic end. These shows were made about 30 years ago and that doesn`t seem like a long time ago to me, yet most of the guests who appeared on those shows are now dead. It makes me realise how short life is.

[@cheripiez67]

damn why did i start crying when i saw robin williams

[@mutanazublond4391]

Because you're an immature celeb worshiper, and wants to turn these pranksters into something more important then they actually are, and to get ''likes'' hit's by abusing the emotional element to trick people in to comments, only ...it's not really working is it ?! ...did you cry when Mugabe died? No, apart from having dallen in a kettle with ''Panzher-Chocolatten'', R.W. was lot's of times, borderline Kindergarten humor, but most white people are extremely sensitive and very childish at times! Every single white Comedian, has dropped his trousers and ran bare ass in his career, and you all find it hilarious, then I rather watch Steve Martin Movies, everyone to his/her opinion, but ....cry ??? Trix r 4 kids

[@sharksport01]

I never thought he was funny either.

[@LeenaStark]

Chevy Chase is one of the biggest blunt TOOLS ever. I have never found him to be funny + never understood what all the fuss about him was; plus ---- he is a very cruel human being according to other comics who had the misfortune to work w/ him. Dame Edna sure knocked him off his high horse! Robin Williams stole the show near the end as only Robin could! Rue was such a sweet soul, a true _Lady_ --- all 3 are sorely missed now. May they all Rest in eternal LOVE in Heaven. ♥🙏

To be fair, explosive diarrhoea can be quite funny depending on who the victim is, but I totally agree Chevy is a very dislikable person I can't think of a single celebrity that has met him and still has a nice thing to say about him

[@enriqueali]

Different kinds of humour. Dame Edna relies on puns, innuendo and exquisitely timed bitchiness. That's why so many drag queens have emulated and copied her over the years. Robin Williams is much more physical farce and pushing scenes to the extremities of ridiculousness. The spiritual heir of someone like Carol Burnett (who btw I think was WAY funnier than Williams)

[@Elnont]

Lmao everyone’s perception of comedy is different, I personally find him hilarious - he’s walking chaos mixed in with quick witted political satire. His brains almost to quick for his mouth lol.
