Lena, Rod Hull and Emu - 1981

[@kiezasosa3173]

Best days of my life was watching comedians like this,

[@MrTingrag]

39 years ago and still funny! Chaotic but old rod mastered the act!

[@colinwilliams553]

Who would've thought that 18 years later,we would lose both Lena Zavaroni and Rudd Hull.R.I.P to the both of them.

[@italianprince4587]

British humor is wonderful🤗 👌...and this is the first time I've seen this particular duo.

[@Sol-Cutta]

Jesus, that is harder than it looks to make a inanimate seem animate. He gives that puppet life so effortlessly. Keeping it independent of you must be so difficult. To give the impression you and it are seperate. What a genius.

[@casbyness]

When Emu gets that telltale snarl in his beak you know it is time to back the hell off. That thing was a psychotic menace and Rod Hull deserved a medal for even partially taming it.

[@littleniyah]

What made Rod Hull so great was he could turn to talk to a talk-show host, absolutely with his back to another guest, and then Emu would attack that other guest, really made it seem like Emu was a separate entity. People really seemed to belive Emu was alive because of this amazing ability. It's like Rod had eyes in the back of his head. Emu would pull people's hair, bite their knees. all like it was doing it alone, brilliant.

It's a puppet(Brian Conley)

[@janelockleystellagrantmarc3243]

[@Sol-Cutta]

Ten years later i just made the same observation...he did this effortlessly..what a amazing performer. Wish his life had been better. Are u still alive commenter ? I bet u forgot u even wrote this ?? Lol.. hello there hahla

[@davidsewellclarke4997]

I loved watching those two when I was younger and still do , brings a smile to your face and a warm feeling in your heart ❤️.

[@josephparis9736]

Lena is just ohhh sooo adorable and no matter what show Rod Hull and Emo were on it was going to be hilarious 😆...Thank you Rod Hull and Emo.

[@bollywayne14]

Rod Hull and Emu. You were one of my childhood hero. I still miss Rod so much. You make me laugh as much now as you did years ago. Your a true genius. R.I.P

[@stephenblack4543]

Lovely lena laughing she was not doing that often enough

[@eddiek0507]

Only just come across this clip, R.I.P. to both of you...

[@tonyt5919]

Lena was so pretty, poor wee soul died to soon, R I p.

[@Mulberry2000]

Yes very sad, and Rod died as well.

[@Mulberry2000]

@@tonyt5919 Yep he was fixing his tv Arial.

[@davidneal9368]

How he used that pupet you'd think it was real. That's when we had real proper entertainment. Now we've got more channels on the box we've still got to pay TV licence. Now it's Freeview you shouldn't have to pay. That's what it means FREE!

[@robertbowers9856]

I never knew of Rod Hull and only now am catching up! You'd swear that Emu was real. Rod was so good to make his arm act disjointed from him.

[@bomberaustychunksbruv4119]

Loved these two - you just knew what was coming, that bird was a flaming menace, and if you had your hair done for the show and was on with this these two you were gonna get it, Rod was ruthless - didn't matter who it was. !!!!! Gold

[@mummyd1990]

Such a sad event on how they both met there demise,rip.Totally unique was Rod Hull.

[@nintendy]

Poor Lena no longer with us - shouldn't be allowed... Classic clip of great Stars!

[@amisam8176]

Lena is gone and so is Hull. Both passed in 1999.

[@ritaharris2372]

Rod Hull and emu were the non forgettable duo. frightening people all over the world. Dick Clark was furious with him.

[@laurencecope7083]

She was so beautiful. Another showbix casualty.

[@davidclarkeasgeorgeformby8373]

Aww bless em two talents gone .great

[@therookpiece]

Still funny. Always funny

[@afreeman63]

Emu was real!!!!! l loved him.

[@massusm25]

Absolute classic 😅😅😅😅😅

[@timgraham93]

Absolute legend

[@willminkorea2010]

Brilliant

[@tylermcay6676]

Love it

[@STHFGDBY]

Remember this, So funny..

[@johnpawlowski836]

But what a sad ending to his life, he climbed up to the chimney of his house to adjust his TV aerial, and slipped and fell to his death .. what a needless waste of such a talent.

[@paulmartin6896]

[@pl5624]

He did that bit earlier in 74 with the Hudson Brothers.

[@michaeltaylor8835]

RIP

[@swizzleproxi4810]

I was worried lena would get injured by Rod but he must of pre thought the best way to rough her up gently.....

[@donnn-sg4mk]

Yes he was carefully with woman and children. The men did not get off so lightly tho. Just ask Michael Parkinson!!!!

[@apusapus71]

Think of how many years it took him to train Emu to understand English.

[@damiannagorski541]

why is this not on tv anymore?. to funny for tv i presume?

[@jonathanmann5227]

Does anyone else forget that emu is a puppet?

[@RockwellRhodes]

We shan't clip the nose hairs, today.

[@devinemadne55]

If you dont like it dont watch it

[@regmunday8354]

How can someone know if like it it unless they watch it? They can't. If they dont like it they have a right to say so.

[@tylermcay6676]

For a second I thought rod said to lana, "I've heard you've had trouble with your little vaggie" and she responded with "its as big as that" XD

[@geoffreybolton1461]

Do Emus like Beavers ?

[@TheBerzerker666]

I bet there was a fight in the dressing room for any lettuce leaves as thats what both birds lived on 🫤

[@alisonc4188]

😂

[@nishiki7047]

So skilful with that ridiculous bird ! Comedy nowadays is dreadful

[@pete25901]

The girl was okay but pretty stiff crowd

[@regmunday8354]

Thankfully Hull didn't use this as an opportunity to go 'the full pervert', seventies style.

[@barrydrake9836]

70's were great - Today is an awful illiberal time in UK - Snitchers Paradise now!

[@jonowhitney5515]

Brilliant
