World of Dick Emery, Thanks for great fun with Dick and his many varied characters!

Absolutely fantastic, I really miss the good old days.🤣

[@thomashumber9762]

Yes they were...its so sad now

In the 1960s I worked at the Manchester hippodrome ,in Ardwick Green ..Dick emery was top of the bill,,,he took one of the girls that I worked with out to dinner….These T V shows were really great ,,no swearing ,just good old comedy..How I miss those fabulous days…Now is all bad jokes and filthy language..Sad..

[@johntaylor6345]

The brilliant Pat Coombs. Great comedy actress. God rest her soul.

[@bradzimmerman3171]

johnny how exactly is a cowardly goD going to “rest “? her soul,are you delusional or something

[@leakoe3797]

Again stomach aches with absolute laughter. Cant beat the English sense of humour..

[@andyhinds542]

Not Scottish, Welsh, or Irish? Just pure English?

[@irenabevans3411]

Just as hilarious now as when first shown on TV, Dick Emery was a genius of character's, sketches & general humourous comedy, great to see a blast from the past

[@Noneyabusinessok]

I am 57 and i remember watching DE when i was much much younger. Great thing about having 7 brothers and 6 sisters and parents who loved a laugh. Dont seem to make comedy now do they. Cant recall having a laugh at anything recently on the box.

It's strange how Dick Emery who was very popular in the 1970s is pretty much forgotten about today. He used to be the chairman of the Airfix Modeller's Club.

Can't get much more 1970's than this

Great memories. My dad loved this. Thank you.

[@mandytyers4481]

I loved Dick Emery , his characters. Were oh so different. But perfected beautifully .my fav got to be Honky Tonk , and the character the blonde girl, . Its hard to remember they're all the same guy . Still laughing after all this time .brilliant thank you .

[@14rnr]

I love this bloke's humour, he will always missed.

[@colmmeade1824]

Yes loved the character he played

[@Zodliness]

I once worked alongside Dick Emery on location at a Copperfield circus in Ongar Essex UK back in the seventies, he was as funny off camera as he was for the camera, but alas the production team gave us very little opportunity, having him on such a tight filming schedule. More than four decades on, I still think Dick Emery's unique kind of simplistic humour is difficult to reproduce and although many have tried, they've failed to make me roll around laughing until my guts hurt, like Dick Emery could. 😉👍

[@sumoody1325]

Thanks for the laugh ! Most unexpected. Just stumbled across you.

[@ColinPickney]

Years ahead of his time with comedy,my favourite

[@seamusseeley6816]

Best Show ever! Used to watch this back in the 70's!

[@Steve-Cross]

My grandad met him in Parkstone or Bournemouth. Said he was a genuinely nice guy.

Absolutely marvellous,all good funny offence meant or taken,racism was never thought off.Because it was all-in fun and not hate. Today sadly we can’t even laugh at ourselves.

[@iangascoigne8231]

Ah the good old days when we could engage in casual racism and white men could black up, because it was all in good fun. Instead of just admitting the humour was of its time.

[@toolsconsumables7055]

And his movie as someone chased by the English mafia & protected by the Italian one was just as entertaining. Those were the days. Riding his Kawasaki Z1300 through a car wash was awfully hilarious when it came out shrunk.Kind regards.

@@LorettaGrace-kf7kh The younger generation wouldn’t know Talent if it hit them in the face. These men ( Dick Emery, Leonard Rossiter, etc, ) were hired by meritorious talents, not motivated by hitting the jackpot. Kind regards.

[@LUISACA-db5vn]

What a great blast from the past

[@johntaylor6345]

Watching Dick again here reminds me of Saturday night TV on BBC 1. The Dick Emery Show and the brilliant Steptoe and Son. Whole hour of the jewel comedy . The best of British comedy. In real life Dick liked the ladies. On television he was the best in the business. Both Harry and Wilfred were great but off camera they didn't like each other .

[@RoughJustice2k18]

I am the 50th like for this video. Must be Emery-madness. Loving it!🙃

The drunk skit was the best!

[@kevinlloyd1595]

Loved this show wish it was back on tv now

[@peterbamforth6453]

Brilliant a master of comedy sketches.

[@Seminal_Ideas]

It's lather and froth of course, but the fact that it would be considered problematic these days by the self appointed pearl clutching arbiters of taste raises its value as historically valuable. Dick Emery honed these characters into well loved staples of seventies viewing. It seems so long ago now.

[@byronmills5952]

Maynard Williams playing the Hitchhiker - Bill Maynard's son.

[@garethbeare8741]

29:39 You're right, although there are a couple of possible perspectives, neither of contradict each other. One is that the 1970s are already quite long ago and will only become ever increasingly more so; all things date, including the comedy of Dick Emery. The other is that a pernicious and intolerant sociopolitical 'woke' ideology has arisen since the late 20th century, which would if let fully loose would suppress or destroy everything historically prior to the height of its own fever, whenever that may come.
