WAY TOO TRUE!!! Americans React "Dave Allen - Teaching Your Kid Time"

[@hiteshgujarathi4636]

I was born on 1st April 1993 and it's almost 31 years and this man is still relevant as f. This is timeless comedy

[@andrewhawkins6454]

Dave is fabulous. Check him out talking about religion and getting on a plane. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍

[@pikkakard]

The religion skit about the black cat in a black room! Awesome! 😆

[@bevmackenzie8902]

Every time during the safety demonstration on a flight, when they point out the whistle ‘for attracting attention’, i think of Dave Allan’s plane sketch 😂

[@creativeamerican8811]

Hes not Welsh tho. 🇬🇭

[@keeva3143]

I don't know what is funnier...Dave Allen's skit or your reactions to it. BRILLIANT!

[@sarahcarrette2193]

Check out Dave Allen's older stuff telling tales in his chair- wonderful storyteller and comedian. Always makes me cry with laughter. Sadly missed.

[@chrismcdonagh688]

I remember watching Dave Alan when I was a child in the early 70s, he was way ahead of his time with comedy. Him and Billy Connolly are 2 of the greatest ever comedians.

[@rabidralph]

I grew up watching him in the 70s and 80s think thats why our generation has a better sense of humour and dont get as offened

[@velouris76]

Dave Allen was an absolute comedy genius, sadly missed.

[@annemaclean6634]

Love Dave Allen - grew up watching his shows and his comedy is brilliant. He talked about everyday things and made them so funny, for example being a passenger on an airplane, shopping, teenagers, and of course this one, teaching your kid time, classic comedy. His sketches were brilliant too - as a family, we never missed his shows on the TV, so entertaining, so good and he was just a superb storyteller!

[@NenadTrajkovic]

whiskey,cigatettes and tall chair

[@htt232101]

He is an absolutely incredible comedian that had a sense of humour that is so badly missing today....if you're born in the late to mid 80s you got lucky enough to have parents and grandparents that adored him....

[@rachelsirett8809]

I was a 72 born baby so yes Dave Allen was my childhood and growing up

[@showmoke]

My parents never liked Dave Allen - mind you they were strict Roman Catholics, so that would probably explain that!

[@martinrichards64]

Saw Dave Allen do this live in Birmingham in 1987. I came out of the show in actual physical pain from laughing so hard. Check out his Adam and Eve it's an absolute joy

[@ftumschk]

I saw him in London in the same year, and he had the same effect on me. The only time I've hurt more from laughing is Billy Connolly; both hugely funny men and master story-tellers.

[@russelloverton1124]

😅😅...me too 🎉Birmingham

[@christinamcconnell5416]

He was sooo good back in the day. Loved when my parents let me stay up late when he'd tell a long story and have us all falling about in laughter. He was a master story teller at his best.

[@jacquilewis8203]

Dave Allen is a truly amazing Irish comedian. One of the first to story tell as comedy. Others would follow, like Billy Connelly.

[@kathleenorr9237]

Used to watch him back in the day with my dad…he was a very funny man. Glad you found him 😁

[@mattkinnison2227]

Finally, Dave Allen. Glad you got around to him, grew up watching his Saturday night shows with my parents, always in fits. One of my favourites in his take on SPERM, you should check that out next.

[@turner1991]

Glad you guys finally got around to watching this and more importantly enjoyed it - Next time you should check out his material on religion. Just remember at the time the church held alot of power within Ireland so the material wasn't well received by some of the population.

[@valeriedonaghy701]

Forgot how funny he was, used to watch him as a kid, he used to sit in a chair smoking and drinking whiskey and telling his stories, he is hilarious you should check out more, loved your reaction too, keep up the good work guys x

[@NxDoyle]

It was champagne.

[@paulbromley6687]

He always had a cigarette, glass of whiskey and what fascinated me as a kid was the missing end of his finger. He did on occasion bring it in to his stories. Brilliantly happy times growing up with Dave Allen.

[@XAdaLgi]

No one tells a story like Dave Allen. He is a legend!

[@clairesutton1974]

Another great comedian my dad used to love and as I’ve got older loved myself...greatly missed..

[@stewedfishproductions7959]

Once you go down the Dave Allen 'rabbit hole' you are on an adventure that I grew up with. He is SO funny and irreverent - YOU TWO WILL LOVE HIM !!! 👍👍👍

[@teresaali6658]

Dave Allen 💕 brings back memories of me and my dad laughing heartily in front of the TV when he was on 😁👍🏼 one of the best.

[@alisonrichards3807]

Dave Allen, an absolutely epic Irish comedian, You should watch Dave Allen Airplane which I find hilarious, Teaching my Daughter time was easy God only knows how I'm going to teach my three boys the one thing I am not looking forward too, Much love from the UK xx

[@AdeleD79]

I grew up watching Dave Allen. He's one of those observational comedians that is just naturally funny. He could've read the dictionary and made it funny! Love that you guys enjoyed this so well. Look out for a clip of him talking about religion. Hilarious!

[@brucemorton245]

One of the deadliest stand-up routines ever. Simply sublime.

[@CaptainNemo1701]

Dave Allen is legendary. You should check out his 70's show Dave Allen At Large, great gags, sketches...one of the funniest is the 'Did You Fart?' in church sketch. RIP Dave, sadly missed.

[@decodolly1535]

We grew up watching Dave Allen. To this day, I can utterly convulse my brother in any situation by silently mouthing "Did you fart?" at him.

[@manxmanc4951]

RIP Dave Allen 😔 I wish he was still around in these moronic woke times

[@jackietomkinson933]

Hi Spencer and Daniel Please look into more of Dave Allen he did a similar sketch on airplanes. Also his religious jokes. He was an amazing comedian and I remember watching his shows and laughing so much. Another great comedian to check out is the wonderful Dick Emery and he played all the characters and his driving test sketch is on the internet. Also Benny Hill and the song Ernie. I am glad you loved this telling the time sketch it was wonderful to see your reactions and hear and see you laughing.

[@kumasenlac5504]

The sheer genius of a conversation in which only one side is spoken but you know _exactly_ what is said on the other side. Brilliant !

[@caroleearnshaw7517]

I swear I have PTSD from my dad trying to teach myself and my sister how to tell the time 😂. Dave Allen is very funny x

[@paulhudson563]

Loved watching Dave Allen. Great memories of sitting with my Dad (R.I.P.) Who also loved him. Superb comedian and story teller.

[@GBURGE55]

I could have written that exact same thing.

[@dtyne67]

His 2 bits (from the same show) on religion and supermarkets are great too. His anger was always a pure reflection on how we all feel sometimes. Dave was also a truly brilliant storyteller. Check out his ghost story from his younger days. He's seen as one of the most influential comedians in Ireland & the UK. RIP.

[@terryoconnor5262]

Just to know that this conversation with children learning the clock has been going on for hundreds of years with millions of angry fathers getting irate with their “stupid kids” makes it even funnier!! 🤣

[@robinakym2356]

Dave Allen was a gem. So many great bits

[@vloghogdj]

in the 70's 80's he would sit on stage/tv with a bottle of whiskey and slowly get drunker and would be smoking the whole time....proper comic

[@bravestarr2001]

Doug Stanhope still does it ;)

[@MyTopC]

Me and my husband used to look forward to the Dave Allen show (1970's I think) every week and for me this sketch is the best of them all. Some people were very much against him because of his sketches on the Catholic church and the Pope. My husband is catholic and i'm protestant but the sketches are so funny you just forget all that, the other sketch which I think is great is the one where there are two funerals and both are trying to get to the church first, if you haven't seen it I suggest you take a look. Dave Allen was a one off and thats why he is still remembered and loved today.

[@pete4656]

I saw Dave Allen live back in the early 1990s, even after all these years it is still ranked as one of my best nights out. My wife and I laughed so much it really did hurt.

[@WitchKing813]

Love Dave Allen, used to enjoy my school holidays I'd sit and watch him with my grandparents

[@annedunne4526]

We loved him. He was Irish, one of the first Irish people on British TV so we were proud of him. I love the way he dissects the time here and makes the whole concept seem ridiculous!

[@kathleenvenners8779]

My dad’s favourite comedian. Brings back special memories x

[@Mouse2222]

Check out "Dave Allen on Religeon" he talks about when he was a young kid going to school, Great video chaps, glad you found Dave Allen funny.

[@grantpaterson1016]

Dave Allen had a way of looking at the world that very few could emulate.....all the greats have that little thing where they see things that we just accept. Allen was amazing!

[@williammcaleese2709]

Absolute classic comedy. I'm amazed we all learned to tell time at all after watching this.

[@mydigicraftscrafts8649]

OMG I never in my life would I ever see dave Allen revived like this xxxxxx clever Men xxx

[@billroy7860]

If you can check out the 'ghost stories' he used to tell, they were absolutely awesome, you knew it was going to be a joke but he literally dragged you into an atmospheric capsule - then at the end had you holding your sides with laughter at the punch line.

[@MAttWDroneVids]

One of my absolute favourite comedians of all time

[@jimpalmer9263]

Dave Allen ‘on religion’ is one of his great sketches: a master of the absurd. He was the travelling compère for a Uk music tour in 1963 that featured Helen Shapiro and The Beatles- my friend has the original tour poster from Harrogate in Yorkshire. I think he also appeared with The Beatles on ABC tv in the US around that time.

[@THX3811]

At last some Dave Allen!! The king of sit down comedy. Check out Dave Allen on religion, the Adam & Eve sketch and of course the "Did you fart?" sketch.

[@melvinpink2877]

Please more dave Allen 🙏

[@michaelaudreson7761]

His note under car is one of the best sketches ever made! Worth checking out

[@wesleyrodgers886]

One I always remember (A very short skit/sketch) Wave daddy!...

[@bernadetteriley7939]

Happy memories watching him with my family every week we were all crying laughing so much great comedy

[@2old4gamez]

On the subject of time related comedy, try to check out 'What Time Is It Eccles?' from the old radio show 'The Goon Show'. The lunatic\genius behind the Goon Show was Spike Milligan, often lauded as the godfather of british comedy and a huge inspiration to all post war british comedians. No one thinks quite like Spike did, true genius.

[@melthebell33]

Always remember mi Dad watching him on tv back in the 70s and early 80s when i was a kid

[@lynneivison5773]

Yes one of best from my youth! I live in France where they use 24 hour clock. So 4 o clock in the afternoon is 16.00 hours. I am always missing appointments even after 17 years here.

[@b62boom1]

He's one of the very best, and funniest, storytellers. He has lost the end of one of his fingers, and has come up with some absolutely hilarious explanation for it. I don't think he ever told the truth about what really happened, which is pretty awesome in itself. Absolutely love the channel guys. Keep up the good work! I'm from Wales. One of our best comedians is Rhod Gilbert. His routine about his suitcase is absolutely hysterical! You should check him out. He's a fantastic storyteller too!

[@philipplace9990]

Dave Allen aka "God's comedian". I know this routine almost off by heart... your reactions were brilliant! Thanks for this guys.... looking forward to more reactions of Dave Allen.

[@brendawatson2408]

More Dave Allan he’s great you must. He has passed away but his comedy lives on.

[@Jack-fs2im]

Dave Allen was ahead of his time .

[@unicornsfordays2886]

Some great sketches too. Did you Fart, the funeral and money under the tyre sketches.😂

[@paulliversidge7140]

I was a kid myself the first time I saw Dave Allen and this bit of comedy genius so while I found it funny it didn't hit home until many years later and I had my son and then it all turned out to be true! Kids logic is so pure and uncompromised that it makes you think about things that we just accept. Amazing observational humour from Dave Allen. Thanks guys for bringing back this masterpiece.

[@jeffstevens4262]

I always said Dave Allen was the funniest man I'd ever seen until Billy Connelly came along, but Dave is still very sorely missed. The thing is, the greatest comedy is timeless. I don't know how many times I've seen Dave's classic 'Teaching your kids time' routine and it still makes me laugh. He died way too young and that's a fact.

[@cazziefores2183]

My sissys German shepherds were called Dave and Alan after this genius comic.. Love me some Dave Alan.. XXX love and light from across the pond xxx 👏👏😂🇬🇧✌️😘

[@daffodil800]

the best Dave Allen are yet to come

[@NenadTrajkovic]

Dave Allen is my childhood best by far

[@watchreadplayretro]

Great Great and more Great! Practically ANY Dave Allen... more more more! Thank you!

[@althomson8782]

Saw him live. Laughed so much I fell off my chair.

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

Dave Allen was excellent. His jokes on religion are his most famous, but this one is a classic. He was a brilliant storyteller and comedian.

[@richardhargrave6082]

He was a comedy genius, end of So funny, its in the storytelling.😂😂😁😁

[@carolmillins9199]

Brilliant...he was my Dad's favourite comedian 🤩

[@djgordonmac]

The late great Dave Allen, the guy was genuinely genius doing observational stand up way before its time. Look up the religion one, it's comedy gold 🤣

[@morbid1.]

now you understand how fucking confusing English is... but... when first time I saw this stand up and actually understood it, I felt really good. It was like "yeah, I think I can communicate in this foreign language"

[@baroni1957]

Dave Allen was a brilliant comedian. His take on religion, flying, funerals and life in general, are hilarious. Wish he was still here to entertain us. Please take a look at all his other videos. You won't be disappointed.

[@morussell4033]

Thank you for reacting to one of the greatest comedians ever. You guys should watch his shows DAVE ALLEN AT LARGE on dvds you will love them. Dave Allen, The Two Ronnie's, The Goodies, Black Adder Mr Bean and The Benny Hill Show are fans favourites...

[@patsykenny9188]

Honestly loved your reaction ..this man was a genius in comedy .. I'll be looking at you're other reviews .love from Ireland ..where we take the piss out of each other and the more we do ,the other person knows we like them ..❤️ to both of you

[@angelaedgington270]

This man is sorely missed my father used to cry laughing at him

[@dirtbiker1928]

I’m glad you got to see this. Fantastic. 👍

[@angelaedgington270]

Dave allen pure genius watch the flying in an areoplane sketch

[@valeriehughes1008]

Dave Allen was the greatest... a great loss to comedy when he passed.

[@kumasenlac5504]

I just love the way you guys have to take time out to breathe....

[@adamspimbly4706]

I think this perfectly encapsulates just how frustrating and hard it can be sometimes to explain concepts - that as an adult you find simple - to children. The frequent cuts to separate questions or observations from the child, his train of thought being derailed by observations he wasn’t expecting etc

[@mattsmith5267]

You need to watch his stuff on his first day at Catholic School, he was born in Ireland and his School was run by Nuns. It sounded terrifying! 😱. But he makes it so funny. 🤣🤣🤣🥲

[@craigcassidy6078]

Nuns are terrifying .. defo put fear of god in you

[@drew6248]

Agreed!

[@cazfloss1990]

It’s hilarious!

[@alexhorsburgh5986]

Irishman who had a successful chat show in Australia in the 1960s..brought his great brand of comedy to UK tv on the BBC in the 1970s and was a staple diet on UK tv until the mid 1990s..a genius.

[@annemariefleming]

You should hear his Irish wake/funeral stuff, hilarious!

[@janefaulkner3749]

Dave Allen one of the greatest comlc's that ever walked this earth.

[@nickname6747]

Check out an older clip about Irish funerals from Dave Allen. Thanks for uploading, guys. 😆🤣😂🇺🇸🇬🇧👍

[@richhughes7450]

What's scary is, that if I did not know how to tell the time, I would struggle to receive what he's trying to transmit. It's easy cos we know but learning that from scratch must have been and is hard I think.

[@highpath4776]

Mum bought me a Ladybird book on How To .. Tell The Time. I already could. At school we used to be given a whole load of standard clock face questions to do maths with, working out elapsed time and so on, plus inverted/ reflected and inverted reflected clocks to work out real time and the calculations too. Quite interesting. We were never taught it but I also learned to read with the paper upside down (useful in the heads office for gleaning information off the desk when getting a summons there.

[@MsButterflygirl101]

Dave Allen is the man!

[@titleloanman]

It’s not 1.75, that would be 2.15 is one of the best things I’ve ever heard

[@gordonwark7474]

Glad you guys have found Dave Allan. You must check out his story on airplanes.

[@Pi_r8]

Great reaction guys. So glad you got round to Dave Allen, he has many great sketches. 👍👍

[@OMH0309]

As others have said, the airplane sketch is a must, just watched it now, hilarious 🤣🤣

[@pauldean1816]

Please look at fancy dress funeral Russell howard guys uplifting true story

[@kellydev]

Dave Allen one of the funniest Irish men ever 😂😂😂

[@TheCornishCockney]

Dave Allen is not just a great story telling comedian AND comedy actor,but he is an INTELLIGENT comedian. He was essential viewing in both the UK and Ireland. Check out his sketches too,very clever but the most important ingredient,they are FUNNY.

[@jameswilliamson7140]

i'm a great believer in not using the word genius too much as it weakens it meaning but saying that dave allen is an actual comedy genius. i had too many good times growing up watching his material.. great reaction btw

[@themojoslide]

It's about time you checked out the fast show! Classic 90's comedy

[@garethm3242]

Not quite sure why, but as an Irishman aged 38 I'm particularly glad you like Dave's comedy. Recently read his biography, very interesting career in mainly the UK and Australia. He also compered at early Beatles gigs in England.

[@tracysyorkiepuds]

True brilliance as always Mr Allen

[@wayse2000]

Check out Dave Allens take on Airplanes. 🙂

[@anthonyhaylock6655]

Dave was comedic story telling genius of the highest calibre
