Norman Collier - 1980's TV show

[@dmcallister1506]

This guy is so funny. Never laughed so much in my life.

[@PTS-THX1138]

.....Some comedians are just naturally funny.... Even at times with minimal effort and just with actions alone..... .....Norman Collier fitted the bill perfectly.... Just a natural very funny comedian.... Remember his shows as a child.... The Bingo routine and angry motorist skits still have me in stitches today.... ....Great stuff....

[@philglover2973]

Rest in peace Mr collier gone but not forgotten 😃😃😃😃

Still as funny now as it was 40 years ago 😂😂😂

It's certainly no better.

A very funny man thank for sharing from New Zealand

[@grahamlong6870]

They used to say that he was one of Britain's crown jewels, and as such should be locked in the tower. Brilliant comedian.

[@kevinpinks7995]

Different type of comedian.Both very funny IMO

[@stephentrudgeon2646]

The car window sketch and microphone sketch must have taken ages to perfect, both brilliant.

[@jaygriffiths6793]

There's some really surreal stuff in this. Hail Collier. And thanks for uploading.

[@vicarn1]

Worked with him in the '60's. Loved him.

[@thomaswinstanley2756]

Never be another like him

[@paulwalker2401]

Remember him well. Very funny fella.. Love the compare at the club.

[@stephenguppy3466]

Saw Norman Collier live in 1980 in Bournemouth. He was Little and Large's special guest in their Summer Season that year. He was the funniest person on the show. A true one-off.

[@SuperFerdie1965]

One of the best comics ever.

[@charliecroker6445]

I used to do this when I was a fireman in the RAF talking to air traffic laughing away to ourselves and when we got back the the section the Sarge would call ground radio

[@hannarice3007]

Loved this bloke

[@AHandsomeman]

Very very clever, brilliant stuff.

His Al Jolson just kills me

[@peterrear2864]

How on earth ?????? Insane but brilliant

[@Alan-ss3xp]

Whenever I go somewhere and someone is using a faulty microphone I can’t but help think of good old Norman.

[@davidedwards3361]

I would love to be able to do that. So clever.

[@alanmctavish4802]

tavy! the mike sketch is class!!!!!!!!! brilliant norman! a 1 off!!!

[@gremlinuk1968]

I was 12 year old back then,!

[@jazzman1626]

He used to have a car door and wind up the window as he shouted at another motorist, so that, although his lips were still moving, his voice went quiet as the window closed, then his voice came back as he wound it down again. Very funny.

[@vaslav030547]

A truly talented funny man.

[@meghamer3065]

If you are watching this with a cold it will cure you?

[@Topper954]

Most comedians steal their act from a previous generation of performers.A classic example is Les Dawsons blatant copy of Norman Evans.Normans Colliers act was unique and orginal. RIP Norman.

[@SuperFerdie1965]

Are you saying Dawson wasn't funny?

[@geoffcook3469]

So bloody funny

[@lesliemccarthy6845]

saw him in bookmakers down colchester high street in the 70s

[@kavick4]

Comic genius , fantastic entertainment

[@betamusic5487]

Putting a black balaclava on his head was a real stroke of genius. It must've taken minutes and minutes to perfect.

I DID NOT EXPECT THAT HAHAHA

[@johnbristow8099]

The sad thing is that the Al Jolson sketch would cause a storm of protest nowadays.

[@speakfreeley4473]

Can't see anyone else in their right mind doing that scene at 5:40 today.

[@paulkersey7564]

Nobody good enough today all comedians are pure crap

[@davidmalsher4038]

Not sure namby pamby comes into it really. That was offensive even in the 80s

[@jazzman1626]

David Malsher Nobody complained about it back then. Nine times out of ten, it’s white hypocrites that complain about racism and it’s about controlling society, not really about racism.

[@skoot2u]

So true ,well said.

[@karlhollywood453]

He still looks better at 5:40 than most of them

[@petermangnall4527]

A comedians comedian

[@daveo6368]

Brilliant comedian Do you think he'd get away with the Al Jolson gag this day and age. Not on your life with this cancel culture, It's killing comedy RIP Norman you where one of a kind but the laughs you gave us lives on.

The Total worst thing ever.

[@thetruth156real3]

It was utter shite then, still is but it kept the Butlin and bingo lot happy. 👍

[@dingopisscreek]

Great comedy. Norman was very funny. Blacking up was no issue then, we didn't care, it was funny. Who cared if it was offensive to some. If you don't like it then you don't watch it.

[@peterhamilton4256]

Shite

[@JETFORCEJUN0]

Clinically unfunny.

[@RevolverAnthology]

subjective...I think it's very funny and so do many others. I am a comedy fan and this man is brilliant

[@JETFORCEJUN0]

Ackyman okay I’m going to challenge your use of the word “brilliant” based on his material and routine in this clip. His opening gag is poorly delivered and Brie punch line is obvious. The faulty microphone which was the staple of his act for most of his career is dragged out far too long. Technically it’s well done but ceases to be funny almost immediately. The final element - well it’s a parody of a blackface act and just ever so racist.

[@RevolverAnthology]

the old "racist" thing...yawnsville. I agree that bit wasn't funny though. As I said, "subjective" ....he made me laugh, that's his job

[@JETFORCEJUN0]
