[@dr.rebuttal3009]

His topics and expressions are very much like George Carlin’s aren’t they?

[@jannicemargaretwarwick7102]

So glad to have found the old series of Dave Allen on KZbin, I can ‘laugh out loud again’

[@markkaminski4496]

Will never be a comedian and joke teller like Dave again , a complete one off , could make every subject he talked about a non stop laugh out loud event.

Genius dave at his best... loved him as a teen an more now! Today's class of stand up comedy has nothing on dave Allen......brilliant

[@kevindavis7161]

Quality storyteller,up there with the best,legend.

[@johnleonard6099]

He does a sketch about teaching his little boy to tell the time that is one of the funniest things I ve ever seen.

Childhood Hero one of my Fav comedians

[@haraldschmidt8828]

oh, man, how great! I understand only 70% because my English is too bad, but this 70% is absolutely worth watching and listening to the man. I only became aware of him these days. What a pity that I could never see him alive. I would have even travelled to England for that. I love this humour.

[@kadzunk63]

I remember him from the shows where he was on a seat, with cigar and drink at hand. You say you understand "only" 70% is not bad. In fact not bad at all! It also means that your 70% understanding means that you understand him way better than a LOT of people that have English as their first language " :)

[@1jackroo]

I was always allowed to stay up late on a Saturday night..😄

[@UnionJak]

I used to love staying up late to watch Dave Allen as a kid... when my parents would let me that is! LOL The best part is it's still so relevant!

" 'Why?' is a great question." - Dave Allen

[@fodicky4]

Dave Allen was one of the greatest stand-up comics of his time next to George Carlin, Red Foxx and Richard Pryor. And the greatest clown of that generation was Benny Hill All have a special place in my love for comedy

[@jakkimorrison3571]

childhood memo s love u D x

[@pawelsawicki7003]

It’s a great show

[@kadzunk63]

I don't know whether this series were ever shown on Dutch tv but I sure am enjoying watching them now! Thanks a lot for uploading this! As far as I know the only stuff I'd ever seen was shows where he was sitting in the chair, with a smoke & a drink, telling jokes and finishing with something like "May your God be with you". That must have been earlier than the 1990's shows because I remember him looking younger on the shows that I watched. Btw, when he was telling about the guy trying to sell him "shit" I was expecting him to answer something like "No thanks, I have quite enough shit myself" 😁

[@mickeyfilmer5551]

brilliant ! a genius ! (38 people have thumbed down this- I guess they need to get their heads circumcised !)

[@kadzunk63]

Nah! Those down-voters just thought him scary because he so (seemingly) effortlessly disected their own lives into what they really are, which is dumb and dull beyond repair 🙄

[@Bluesmusicno1]

I stayed up to watch him and the big yin billy Connolly

[@jamesjoyce5611]

thanks, made me chuckle

Sadly missed

[@diannemay2545]

And may his God go with him with love.

[@annelieswallace237]

Actually, he was a humane atheist

[@rgearr1808]

He was agnostic according to his family. He had respect for religion but had bad experiences.. and consequently mocked often.. His ref to god go with u may have meant "may religion cease when u do" ... it was another gag.

[@8888-9]

I know we all have to die one day: But I am sad that Dave Allen went so soon!!

great post Reggie Perrin....

[@johndoho6403]

I knew there was something different about his hand and didn't care to pay attention until some ass said he was missing a finger and i am consistently looking at it now

[@polreamonn]

It was a running gag throughout many of his shows.

[@kadzunk63]

Yeah... for some weird reason, since I found out about the finger I keep looking for it every time I see a video... *scratching head* now how weird does that make me?

Very Irish, good-looking and have a great sense of humour ❤❤❤

In the year 2020..I wonder if Dave was still alive what he would think of all the bullshit and snowflakes we have to put up with now

[@andrewhoult5178]

He’d certainly have plenty of material to choose from. Infact, I don’t think I have heard any comedian taking the piss out of the woke,lefty,miserable snowflakes apart from on the internet; have you?

[@nigelkthomas9501]

Wanna buy some shit? Priceless!

[@borabg6267]

He was a huge star in Yugoslavia. We were lucky that stupid communists thought that his atheism was good for the masses, and allowed his show to be broadcasted on the national television. We all loved him! He was a great storyteller, not just a mere comedian.

[@trevormoses5061]

Yugoslavia was blessed to have him.
