[@suewilliams282]

I used to watch Dave Allen in the 70's, 80's, 90's and it's 2024 now and thank goodness for KZbin I've found him again. I'm 79 now and he was the best and is still the best. Thank you lad for all the hours of pleasure you have given me and millions of others.

8:12 sadly we don’t need to imagine … 2020 was bloody awful!

[@asmatahir9950]

Aw. How ironic not 2020 but I am watching this I 2024😮

[@Jannicke42]

Blody marvellous. Thanks for sharing

[@jefferyansani1923]

[@YvonneCrean]

Wonderful man. Lucky to see him in Melbourne Australia when he delighted us a few times. There hasn't been another since 💕💕🇦🇺

[@mariusamthor4249]

Thank you for sharing all this master pieces, he was such a great man, great comedian!

[@margaretchagas5070]

He was an amazing man. he was so funny. His delivery of his jokes is amazing. He speaks the truth in so many episodes and that's why it'sd so funny

[@angr3819]

Thank you. None as funny before or since. Brilliant man. They broke the mold.

[@ericephemetherson3964]

A 8:13 Dave mentions the year of 2020. How right he was about man wanting more and more. And it is happening now in the year of 2022 when man is stil not satisfied what he has.

[@melodeekeays229]

I'm watching this in August 2024.

[@christinescarff4920]

Don’t think we EVER watched Dave Allen when I was young as he was considered anti catholic ( my family were catholics ) and too ‘sexy’ but coming to watch his programmes later in life, he is just SO funny and I LOVE the ‘ anti catholic ‘ jokes, though I still am one !!!

[@seanbonella]

not anti catholic anti bullshit

[@jacktheripoff1888]

If you're American it's always the same thing. "I remember him, he came right on after Benny Hill". They absoluely owned the airwaves between 11PM to midnight in the late 70's early 80's.

[@Dresdentrumpet]

yep

[@daintree98]

Most TV stations switched off at midnight in Australia in the 60's and 70's.

[@tomduggan51]

Thanks for this very amusing show with Dave!

[@steveww1507]

watch as a kid 40 yrs ago in the USA

[@thomasharrison3126]

Me too, brings back good memories from the Early 80s. Great memories!!

[@davidauble744]

love this mans work :)

[@mariaefelices6543]

The master of his art rip ty u for my life of laughing with you david may your god be wid u mark cdf xxxxxx

[@rockabyebaby6111]

Dave Alan's comedy is based on his ability to observe people's behaviour around him.. improving with age.. the 90s episodes are absolutely hilarious RIP Dave..

[@AlGraces]

ditto, who needs a psychiatrist 🤪

[@the2ndblunder]

8:44 Furlough Scheme. Need I say more. This man was a bloody genius. 👏👏👏

[@Beautiful_Sacred_Land]

gosh, don't you hate the way the announcer comes in during the credits (during a rebroadcast of this show on tv many years / decades later ) - that defo didn't happen back in '71, it's a 'modern' thing. takes away from the magic of the show. i had to pause it when your wuns voice kicked in. dave allen is the best. loved him back in the 70's, wonderful to see all these again. thanks so much for uploading!

[@v8powerr771]

especially with that northern accent

[@leilal8053]

Ah....the Irish sence of humor....I 😄😁😆😅🤣☺

[@TheWelwyn21]

He reminds me of my youth mum and dad used to let me stay up and watch him

[@danmerget]

8:00 Dave predicts that the year 2020 will see great prosperity and huge benefits for workers. Actual 2020: a global pandemic, and Amazon workers pissing in bottles to make quota.

[@jeffreyoneill6439]

Thank you for the God go with you.

[@MissMariQueen]

He says: "your God go with you", he was an atheist.

[@Jaggerbush]

I was watching him when I was single digits in America so around 1975-ish. I remember thinking this was funny. It was a more simple time.

[@marlenereiffel9320]

David has a beautiful smile and he is very cleaver also he speaks perfect.

[@kiviuq3495]

For anyone wondering about the reference to Rolls Royce, the company was in financial trouble and went into receivership the year the show was made.

[@andrewr7982]

It's almost 2020......

[@TheEchovoices]

+Andrew Radakovitz u took the words out of my mouth i swear, did u notice that he put his middle finger up when he started talking about fishing I miss this guy he was something else he really was special

[@themadpyro8560]

Tell me about it...

[@JohnDoe-vz7bn]

Bojo David it is now 😂and now we’re headin for the biggest recession since the 30s

[@andrewr7982]

John Doe fuck

[@scottyg3406]

2023.. 😊

[@kadzunk63]

Thank you so much for this channel and the uploads! I remember Dave Allen on Dutch tv a looong time ago. My parents didn't watch it because they just couldn't understand it even though it was subtitled. I'm glad I rose above my upbringing and (even after all these years) love to watch him. His sense of humour is still timeless. A great storyteller, a great comedian. And looking good as well. Those sparkles in his eyes, he just could get away with almost anyting. And he did! 😎

[@voice_of_change]

Kind of funny when at the 8 minute ark he talks about "imagine it's 2020" and here I am watching this in 2024....

[@melodeekeays229]

Me too. 🤣😂

[@leereadman9940]

[@basba_qal]

Wished I had a granny like that.

[@myriaddsystems]

[@HeavensGremlin]

Greatly missed.....

[@nathanielalexanderkristens2825]

"50 years time, in the year 2020" 50 years is going to go by pretty fast

[@BettyBastion-do3re]

Good always.

[@blhlow4904]

@17.31, what did St Peter say to the Irish man?

[@thenmymindsplitopen]

First time I saw this was on PBS in Florida, in 1985, when I moved there from Eastern Europe. Still in USA, still think this was pite genius.

[@daveboo7138]

fucking brilliant all round comedian thanks

[@marylou3995]

Naughty. No bad language- thank you

[@stnicholas54]

Can someone tell me the name of the sandy haired guy with the moustache who was always in those Dave Allen sketches ? He's the cowboy at 18.42.

[@davidryan9496]

Is this the man? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Sharvell-Martin

[@stnicholas54]

Yes, that's him, thank you kindly. I didn't know he'd passed on 2010.

[@davidryan9496]

You're welcome. Too many gone. Too many from my youth, anyway!

[@Johnny-iv5ln]

it s 2020 now...

[@Hyena-g2z]

Dave was born in firhouse dublin ireland

[@blaggercoyote]

So funny!

[@carstenrbkfrandsen8162]

Good!

[@johnnygoodman2003]

The joke about the year 2020 is interesting .... 8:55

[@mmaryuv5777]

17:08 can some one explain? I can't get it

[@jeffreyday4004]

the implication being only one guy from Ireland got to heaven -

[@soulreaperichig0]

Can someone explain the one armed fish joke.

[@soulreaperichig0]

It's at 9:00

[@B.H.56]

he's trying to describe how big the fish is, and he can't.

[@soulreaperichig0]

No the one before that. The one where the wife asks about the no of fishes.

[@angelicagarcia4820]

I think it goes like this: The woman knows her husband is lying because the fishmonger charged them with three of the six fish the man claims have captured.

[@keithsolley]

because he's only got one arm!

[@daviddavies3637]

He wasn't that far off with the £375pw. Maybe a few years late. But not a bad prediction.

[@russburridge9851]

Ĺìght classical

[@davidryan9496]

Dave Allen, like his contemporary, Benny Hill, collected and retold the jokes that had done the rounds on vaudeville and music hall for many years. Unlike Benny Hill, this man tried to be 'alternative' and 'counter-cultural' too. Well, he was on the BBC, after all!

[@Lee-nh5bb]

That's it; there's only so many jokes in the world, and throughout his tv career, and interviews, he retold many.

[@russburridge9851]

Lìght classis

[@mike9347]

Dunno why here in Australia we swapped over to that plastic American crap such as Seinfeld. (Hogan's Hero's and MASH excluded), instead of staying with anything outa the BBC. Show's such as Dave, Benny Hill, The Goodies, Ain't Half Hot Mum, The Two Ronnie's, heck, I could go on. But all those early 90's American so called "comedies" just dumbed the genre down. Friends, Seinfeld, later on, absolutely not funny shows such as The Big Bang Theory. All of those were just comedies for the very simple minded. IMO, British comedy was much more sophisticated.

[@cl759]

However, in the year 2022....

[@thebagfather4633]

when tv was worth watching .no swearing just pure laughs and good jokes and sketches . todays so called comics could learn a lot from Dave Allen

[@Idol2Idol]

Dave swore in his later stuff and it was still funny.

[@Tara-TJ-007]

🤣😅😅😅

[@noeljenkins6005]

hate the ADS

[@lancelink2812]

The Irish Benny Hill or Benny Hill was the Protestant Dave Allen

[@birdynumnum689]

2:41 lol)

[@GerardHammond]

that Japanese torture was weird

[@olivergay8008]

Indisputable leader. He was clues man. Now we implement magna carta. As we were not duped but blaspemed. He does all with fun laughter and sure footed Ness. Right you are. Pain was main weapon so return derision with happy and free. Why in one life would you stop temptation as they stole everything. Allen says be you as God delights being bigger more varied unpoped and a regular guy with sex pure no detail missed. Gone realised. He knows enemies are to be ended. Nazis must go. He has hidden messages why not destroy misery misery makes and gold diamond dead. Or die forever well done Dave we go in tonight. Life

[@AaronHahnStudios]

6:57 in! Check out that kids slide! These days all kids get is some stupid plastic thing that's only three feet off the ground & No kids using it. It's no wonder they'd rather play on a computer & get fat.

[@GerardHammond]

dark was this siily episode. not a great episode

[@Saskinny]

He was WAY off on 2020! LOL
