Dave Allen - Young Men Turning 18

[@TheVoiceOfSpoons]

I feel privileged to have grown up with this great comedian on the TV.

[@KimSenior]

Me too! TV is crap now, well I stopped watching it 20 years ago!

[@johncartwright4041]

Me too! Our whole family watched him. My mother was expecting him to be excommunicated.

[@anitafarney2936]

No one has been funnier than this comic. So glad I can watch his work again. Truly timeless humor.

[@airzulu2733]

Dave was absolutely top of his skills. A great loss to British comedy left us too soon . RIP Dave

[@michaelmciver4440]

He was Irish not British

[@bondjames7007]

⁠He was an Irishman who had a brilliant TV Show in Britain? Thus it was a loss to British TV when he Died, not Irish TV as per Airzulu’s Comment !!! !! He had his own TV Show in Australia….we saw him ‘Live’ twice….1st time, hilarious - he moved to Britain. He returned to Australia for a 2nd ‘Live’ Show….very disappointing…the witty, clever, subtle humour had gone & replaced with constant swearing….it was boring. Australians loved him, he arrived in Australia as an unknown as he was in Britain. When the Brits saw how successful he was, he was offered a TV SHOW on British TV…so he departed Australia. He abandoned the sunny warm days & hot weather to return to a cold, damp, mouldy, windy UK & seem to age rapidly, & died way too young. My Brother lived in London for awhile…he hated it…the depressing Weather…standing in Line constantly for everything, people everywhere - he found the place very depressing…I know of Brits who have moved to Australia….they love the Weather, the Lifestyle…& No Class System….!!!

[@ladyvalli1]

When he was at his peak (he is hilarious even in this clip) I never missed a tv show he was in. He was SO funny - he took the mickey out of the Catholic Church, the Pope, The Irish, The British - oh everyone and I always loved his last words on his show "Goodnight - and may your God go with you". You will always live on in our house Dave. :)))

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️same

[@MrMoggyman]

This is absolutely superb. It cracks me up every time I see this. Nobody can do stand up comedy like Dave Allen. Brilliant.

[@aileenlightbody91]

I remember watching this sketch on TV in 1988. Just as hilarious now as it was then, and just as true! How many people will still find today's comedians funny in 30 years time?

[@janefisher4757]

He is absolutely spot on and incredibly hilarious. I love him.

[@andyguy0610]

Utterly brilliant!!! The mouthful of coffee I was drinking went everywhere I laughed so hard!!! Absolute genius!

[@leftcoaster67]

Most hilarious thing was I was in a Starbucks today, and a guy was talking to a girl this EXACT same way! I almost lost it.

[@terrasiho5606]

It's men like him we need so desperately. I loved him.

[@hesch-tag]

I remember this sketch when it first aired and have always remembered it and this is the first time I've seen it in all these years. Still great.

[@Coral-gl7jx]

So accurate, anyone who can take an ordinary everyday occurence and make it funny, is brilliant. This episode proves he does not need the swear words, he is my favorite.

[@Lee-nh5bb]

@slaine's axe He has always sweared A LOT in his live shows though, and would've sworn more on tv if he could've.

[@vinnygordon3833]

Dead or alive. This man is timeless.

[@airzulu2733]

Absolutely

[@dusitmatter1498]

thanks dave. you really were great.

[@underon1]

Laughing me socks off, aye Dave, the divnt make them like you anymore. Bless. X.

[@hazelsanderson9200]

Tears down my face all through this!

[@michelledoherty1967]

one of the greatest Comedians of all time... Simples! RIP Dave Allen

[@ryevic]

As a father with teenage sons, I can relate to this sketch, hilarious but oh so true!!!!

[@underwaterbubbles]

He was truly up there with the great comedians of our time !!

[@irenabevans3411]

Hysterically funny laughed throughout

[@petrov8086]

Damn, I've watched it 7th times already and I am laughing & crying.

[@edwardtait4285]

Absolu brill,,, I laf so mooch Ai crie. Thank you Dave!

[@modernidiot9124]

My sides are truly hurting after watching this. True genius.

[@MsEleni100]

This is the funniest clip I've ever seen, thank you for uploading it! Ha ha! Nya nya rang!

[@estongbigboy6702]

I never knew dave allen.. But now he is one of my favorite stand up comedian

[@markdaly1648]

Of all the sketches He did in these specials this was the highlight. Teaching the time and the trip to Mexico with his brother

[@MsEleni100]

This is the funniest clip I've ever seen, thank you for uploading it!

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

Absolutely bloody nailed it!! Brilliant 👍🏻

[@estellawobker3568]

Always a class act, one of the greats. .

[@johnjames1274]

Excellent! Thank you so much!

[@kathyaggiss9006]

I loved him then and I love him now. No one comes close.

[@rhondahanlon5976]

This is an absolute gem . Even for Himself !

[@MrMiamijohn]

couldn't have said it better myself. he was a true genius.

[@maureenm8462]

you know that is so true my son is 18 and strings all his words together so it sounds like one long word and its mumbled, only a mother could understand her son, and dave allen was brilliant ain't nobody today can compare to him

Alcohol problem , don’t you realise yet !

[@peterfranks6243]

As a 50 year old fellow Dub' ...David Tynon O'Mahony OR Dave Allen to everyone else was LEGEND

[@johntaylor6345]

This guy was just the best at observation comedy. Very funny.

[@Fcutdlady]

Edward, Dave Allen's real life son got a rare piss take for this. He said it was nothing like him. His friends said it was!

[@alwadsworth6790]

I am Irish/Scottish and I think Dave Allen and Billy Connely are the funniest people, clever and gut bustinlgly funny

[@mizofan]

Allen the best, Connelly very funny too, yes.

[@thehellyousay]

What? No Craig Ferguson? Allen Connelly Ferguson are the holy triumvirate of celtic comedy.

[@anthonymichaelwilson8401]

I have found him so funny but so educational lol 😂

[@kamikazekaos]

The best comedian ever ..Dave Allen Best duo act ...laurel and hardy

[@goodwolfbadwolf2844]

Agreed on both counts.

[@_Conzo_]

You said it. Comedians such as Dave Allen weren't, well aren't just funny, they had class. As well as that they each had their own style. As you rightly said, they just don't have it any more.

[@EEEL123]

He was 68 when he died. He should have given us another 15 years at least!

[@annegray6917]

EEL 123 it was his lifestyle if he didn’t have the lifestyle he had we would never have experienced him similar to tommy cooper x

[@lsb9073]

@@annegray6917 wrong. Sudden arrhythmic death syndrome

[@petrov8086]

Well, it appears that skies decided to take him. He is having his shows there, even though he is a practicing atheist :)

[@geoffreyrichardson8738]

If he hadn’t drank and smoked so much he might have might have lived to 73 but I don’t think he would have been as funny.

[@allenmartin5160]

No stand up comes near without having to shout or swear to be funny, true legend.

[@hesch-tag]

I know what you mean but swearing can be funny as long as it is not the meant to be the sole purpose of the joke but more as a means to for instance show frustration or anger.

[@kayem3824]

Another difference is that he isn't wearing a dirty T-shirt.

[@hesch-tag]

He said dickhead 😆

[@VultureClone]

So funny and a classy man

Life gets complicated when we get past 18.

[@gingerbeer914]

I would have sworn that he asked for 'an onion' ... I would have answered: 'Sure... with ketchup and mayonnaise?'

[@terrycharnley]

@ferraridinoman He may be dead in body, but his hilarious spirit will live for a long time, and we have all these wonderful recorded clips.

[@hemaherath960]

Genius

[@gentsw13]

Currently, too many BBC announcers and programme presenters speak in a similar 'fashion'!

[@DrMerle-gw4wj]

I hear this sort of jabber from the younger generation everywhere I go, in markets, from restaurant waiters, from virtually anyone under 25 who deals with the public in retail. When I hear it I often respond with some nonsense syllable. The tragedy of it is they seem to understand and nod.

[@thehellyousay]

It's called deafness and senility. Enjoy it. You don't really want to hear what other people say anyway. Gives you bad dreams and horrific gas, it does.

[@KK-bl1dd]

❤love it

[@paulcrombie9623]

Forgive my ignorance, but when and of what did Dave die from? He was one of the greats in comedy.

[@trevorkeyes1639]

he was excellent. todays comics dont match him.

That was funny 🤣👍
