See, Americans will know him more as an actor but we Scots know him as the best comedian that's ever lived.

[@Maxmillion77]

An Audience With Billy Connolly (1985) has always been my favourite. The "Incontinence Pants" bit will have you in stitches.

[@denisecoen2820]

Seen that so many times, it never gets old - a true legend.

[@mark-nm4tc]

Billy Connolly....Scotland's gift to humanity. I've been laughing my head off with him since the 70's. Where do you start?...Old Lady on the Bus, Terrorist Attack on Glasgow Airport, Don't drink the Tap Water in Ibiza, Colonoscopy, On a Flight to Australia and so on. Whoopi Goldberg is the one who introduced him to an unsuspecting America in an HBO special. The late Robin Williams was in that audience, laughed his head off and became firm friends with Billy until his death in 2014. You cannot go wrong with Billy, also known as the Big Yin. He's been causing us in the UK to laugh our heads off since the 70's, has done some acting: Mrs Brown, and amongst others, a Columbo. Total legend and just bloody funny. I would go as far as to say possibly the funniest stand up comic of all time. He's sadly got Parkinson's now & retired from performing. I'm probably going to cry a river when he goes.....

Since the 80's here. Absolutely brilliant human being.

[@daftgowk1]

Snap, the big yin is the best

[@jeffstevens4262]

Another two of of my all time Connolly stand-up faves are 'Potatoes Of The Night' and 'Incontinence Pants'...but you mentioned a bunch of his other classic routines and they're equally hilarious, dangerously so. God bless him. Undoubtedly, the funniest man I ever saw in all my 72 years. 🙋‍♂

[@NorthernShrew]

One of my favorite Billy Connelly bits. "Agnes! " kills me every time.

[@margaretflounders8510]

Yes! Why is that? Everyone just died laughing...not so much at poor ole Betty.....

[@previouslyachimp]

The King in Shrek is actually played by John Cleese of Monty Python fame. Thanks for your reactions guys, I've just recently found your channel and have been loving your content.

[@johnhendy803]

A great film with Billy is ‘Mrs Brown’ (1997) with Judy Dench playing Queen Victoria

[@raycardy4843]

Was just coming here to say the exact same thing! 😊

[@janettesinclair6279]

Billy is a great actor as well as a funny man.

Ohh your going to love this , little old lady on the bus ( not the dwarf on a bus , different story) next please 🎉🎉🎉

[@martinmcfeely9563]

Definitely the little old lady on the bus story, absolutely fantastic 👍👍

[@44petefox]

And don't forget colonoscopy 😂 I laughed for days after watching that one 😂

[@paulhanson5164]

Ask most Brits who the greatest ever comedian is and I'd guess a majority would say Billy Connolly without hesitation.

[@sndrka12]

Aw love him so much, the Universe's gift to the world, Sir Billy Connolly xx

[@blackletter2591]

I loved the lions' strategising, and the male lion scratching his arse back on the hill.

One of the few comedians, each of whose shows was always different and fresh. 😊

[@shaunbyrne9037]

You will love the interview... Parkinson Billy Connolly and Tom Cruise .... they are talking about the movie Last Samurai . Hilarious . I think it's in two parts on KZbin .

[@ConnorEllisMusic]

He's not the King in Shrek, that's John Cheese, one of the Monty Python.

[@johnnyenglish33]

Yes thats it i was wracking my brain. New it wasnt billy but couldnt remember who it was.

[@bethcushway458]

Cleese not Cheese🤣🤣🤣

[@leo1314ok]

THE master of stand up comedy and story telling. NOBODY compares to Billy. Robin Williams said he was the funniest man alive. For a man so funny and such a genius himself, says it all. Saw Billy at the Pavilion Theatre in Glasgow, early eighties. My jaw ached for days! Genius

[@PeterDay81]

Sir William Connolly CBE, better known as Billy Connolly, portrayed Dáin Ironfoot in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.

[@niallstranix5412]

Beat me to it! 😁

[@damianleah6744]

Billy is a genius at storytelling. No scripts, just runs with whatever is in his head at the time. Brilliant.

[@stelsewhere11]

I saw Billy on his Bites Your Bum tour in Dundee Scotland in the 80's... He was utterly relentless, absolutely hysterical - He would tell one joke and you were laughing so hard but then he would tell 3 other jokes while you were still laughing at the first one... I seriously thought I was going to have a heart attack !!!. I had to leave the auditorium and stand in the foyer to calm down.. And there were at least another dozen people there doing the same thing lol .. AMAZING comedian, especially if you are Scottish. Billy was able to speak in his normal voice without having to enunciate (as he had to performing in England) meant Billy was able to go at us like a train without having to draw breath.. Frighteningly funny.

[@joyceharkin3641]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@spitsfreeman]

"I'm one of them strippy things over there" That's always cracked me up haha

[@blackletter2591]

Your wisteria is looking very healthy

[@AlistairForsyth-y9o]

Billy was big pals with Robin Williams. The two of them together were outrageous. Robin used to stay with Billy in Billy's castle (more of a large house) he owned in Scotland.

[@garymcatear822]

It was Robin Williams who dubbed Billy the father of stand up comedy...also Robin phoned billy up the night before he died to say hello and stuff and later billy realised Robin was actually phoning his good friend up to say goodbye.

[@_eclipz_]

His expressions and deliveries are on a different level lol

[@LastValkirian]

the king in Shrek is played by John Cleese from things like monty python and faulty towers. Billy Connolly was in "the last samurai" and a movie called "the man who sued god" as well as one of the muppet movies.

[@robgilmour2172]

Such an infectious laugh ❤

[@stephanlazarz1921]

The G.O.A.T.

[@Mr_Darren_Payne]

Back in 2011, Billy did a four-episode travelogue series where he rides his motor trike the length of Route 66, meeting the people and sharing stories. You can find the series on here in one complete three-hour video - 'Billy Connolly's Route 66'. ✌😁 Even if you don't make videos on it, you'll enjoy watching it together all the same. 🙂

[@previouslyachimp]

His 'Made in Scotland', and 'World Tour of Australia' trips are a must-watch too.

[@jahrolo]

Big Yin Connolly... a true legend. Can you name any other comedian who makes everything up on stage, never writes anything down? I can´t :)

[@margaretflounders8510]

Maybe Dave Allen?

[@jasonjukes6899]

At 2.31 on the video Billy corrects wilderbeasts to wilderbeast - precise, concise and articulate English language. Instantly. 'Can I get a ...' means can I go and fetch it, in a restaurant, instead of ''can I have' or 'can I order'. He knows that precise, concise, English language tells a story far better. A dieing art form

[@Kielbasa_Starmer]

You need to react to An Audience with Billy Connelly in it's entirety. You you don't wet yourself I'll be amazed

[@HaroldHobson-w6f]

Raised in Glasgow and left school to become a welder in the ship yard, he joined the territorial army parachute regiment at the same time.

[@watchreadplayretro]

Just. Brilliant!

[@annedunne4526]

Billy Connolly is hilarious.

[@mrchickflick4444]

My Nan intruduced me to billy way to young about 11 😂 but me and her laughed like you wouldn’t believe and she’s passed now but every time I watch billy I think of her

[@HaroldHobson-w6f]

His wife Pamela was also a comedian and that’s how they met, Pamela is currently a California-licensed clinical psychologist.

[@cherylannb3161]

Colonoscopy!!! Definitely, positively must be your next Billy Connelly reaction. 😂😂😂

[@larryc9617]

My Dad went to St.Peter's school alongside Billy Glasgow in Partick, Glasgow and both frequented The Smiddy bar in Partick as well. Met him in there once when me and my Da were having a pint. My Da always said he knew Billy but as kids me and my brother were like yeah yeah bs. Billy greeted my Da with " Oh how ye doing Twinny" as yup my Da has a twin and I sat there in disbelief as my auld man grinned like a Cheshire cat.😂 Billy s a gent and absolutely hilarious.😂👍

[@user-Terry314]

Your reactions are really entertaining, Thanks.

[@mickcoburn1787]

The little creatures that you’re trying to think of are coastal or sea iguanas and your right that was a truly spectacular piece of filmmaking but not really for small kids.

[@KevDSmith]

John Cleese played Fiona's dad in Shrek lol. Billy was also in a great film called The Man Who Sued God. Highly recommend it if you haven't already seen it

Billy goes by the moniker of the Big Yin.

[@jimreid4367]

@RegenerationNationTV . Most Americans recognise him as II Duce from the Boondock Saints , King Theodore from Gulliver's Travels , Dain from The Hobbit , John Brown from Mrs Brown . But one of my favourite Billy Connolly films was The Man Who Sued God .

[@stuartcarden1371]

[@krupauk]

Any interview with Billy is funny on Conan and on any UK show

[@jayweb51]

If you haven't already reacted to this, l would recommend you react to Billy Connolly 'Colonoscopy'

[@Jamienomore]

You should watch Billy's story, 'Old Lady On A Bus'. I laughed so hard I nearly wet myself.

[@ianpartis2410]

The king from Shrek was voiced by John Cleese!

[@clairewilson2620]

He was in a great film with Dame Judy Dench about Queen Victoria and her friendship with a Scottish servant after Prince Albert passed away. Mrs Brown, I think it's called. He also used to own a tea company called Tickerty Boo. It's profits went to the tea growers and charities. It was so flavoursome. It's no longer available. Sadly.

[@martindunstan8043]

Hi you two👍great reaction to one of my favourite stories of Billy,cheer Mike,cheers Jess✌️

[@eddiec1961]

Another fun reaction i loved how quickly Jess changed her reaction and back.

[@stevesomeone486]

I'm happy you gave Billy another view but also a little sad because a lot of his stories from his time as an appreciate welder in the shipyards of Glasgow are so so so funny but not findable on you tube . If you can find dvds of his early stand up please watch them , with a box of tissue 😂

[@PaulDrake-u7m]

appreciate welder? Apprentice perhaps?

[@annicecooper8105]

​@@PaulDrake-u7mYup, Billy spent years working as a welder in the Glasgow shipyards after leaving school. An apprenticeship lasted 2-3 yes to train someone up to do an particular trade. He always said he spent years crying with laughter at the funny tales his work mates would tell him and wondering why on earth he didn't laugh so hard at the comics on TV.

[@watchreadplayretro]

Fido (2006) worth a watch too

[@MrSnowcake]

I’d love too see you react to billy connolly and Tom cruise on the Michael Parkinson show😘

[@necessaryevil3428]

Yes! ... More Billy please! Legend Check out his flight to Australia story 😊 The docu you watched were little Iguanas being chased by snakes.... i remember watching that aswell

[@AthanImmortal]

YES! I asked for this when you did the Dwarf on a bus (I'm sure plenty others did too), but I'm so glad you're doing it!

[@john9508]

You will have to do Billy and Tom Cruise on Parkinson it is hilarious

[@TanyaRando]

I went to see Billy when I was 8 months pregnant, I laughed so hard I had pains 😂

[@chrisaskin6144]

It was Iguanas on the Galápagos Islands that, when newly hatched, had to immediately run the gauntlet of racer snakes appearing from everywhere trying to kill them. They had to make it to some rocks and scramble up and over them to the 'safety' of the sea, avoiding being caught. But newly hatched baby turtles have to run the gauntlet of predatory birds in order to reach the sea and safety.

[@Obi-J]

Yeah, it was from the BBC's Planet Earth II with David Attenborough. Although I seem to recall that when it was shown in the US they had someone else narrate it instead(possibly Oprah Winfrey(?))!!

[@Howling-Mad-Murdock]

Bugger! Thought I’d be first with that! 😂 Marine Iguanas.

[@caroline_scotland]

[@jimmy-stourbridge-fc8980]

The greatest comedian ever along with Jethro & Dave Allen.

[@R3ED3R]

Check out Walk on the wild side, it was a BBC show where comedians did voiceovers for animals.

[@deanknows2024]

Great reaction Mike and Jess. Billy Connolly is for sure one of a kind. Talk about a random comedy skit, I have a little gem for you guys. Try reacting to "I Hear You're A Racist Now, Father! - Father Ted" (3.00 mins) which is beyond funny and from a British/Irish sitcom (situation comedy) called 'Father Ted' and was a very popular and very funny comedy sketch show which ran through the mid 90's. This comedy sketch clip was taken from Season 3 Episode 1 and regarded as the most favourite comedy clip from the whole series and generally reacted to by most comedy KZbin reactors. Give it a go guys as it is guaranteed to have you in stitches. 😅🤣😂

[@AD270479]

Billy didn't voice anybody in any of the Shrek movies. That was John Cleese from the Monty Python & Fawlty Towers sketches, if you ever seen any of them. John is English, Billy is Scottish.

[@TechyMantis]

You have to watch a dwarf on a bus, really funny. One small correction, the king in Shrek was voiced by John cleese from monty python.

[@stephanlazarz1921]

My sister's favourite.

[@SirHilaryManfat]

As an Englisman I don't like speaking on behalf of the Scottish, but it would be an understatement to say that he is legitimately the equivalent of royalty to the Scottish people (and everyone else in the UK for that matter)

[@anthonygraham2938]

He is like our royalty in Scotland, you're correct, but I think it's fair to say he belongs to everyone!

[@keithelliott3771]

So absolutely funny and your larfter made it even more so. To use Eng/Aus vernacular nearly pissed meself larfing. 🙂

[@pepelemoko2820]

Nice one RegenTV. You may find Billy's take on the attempted terrorist attack on Glasgow Airport quite funny. A genuine event the happened here in Scotland. There is also his world tour of Scotland series, which he also did in several other countries. Take care folks, happy vibes from Bonnie Scotland.

[@RazcalAli]

I've only just discovered this channel but I've watched so many videos all day! You guys are hilarious in your responses... I think you should watch clips of Friday Night Dinner... A great comedy about... Wait for it... Friday Night Dinner! 🤣 Also, a comedian called Sindhu Vee on her spot at Live at the Apollo! I'll be watching this channel every single day! All the best from Edinburgh!

[@PishProductions1]

Connolly ya basta! The king of comedy

[@AbzScotland]

You might want to react to Billy on the Craig Ferguson Late Late Show?

[@2old4gamez]

Add 'dwarf on a bus' and 'old lady on a bus' to your viewing list if you're interested in more of Billy. Also, Stewart Lee 'Playing the room as it's dealt', 'Bin Laden' & 'Braveheart' would be worth checking out. Nobody does comedy like Stewart '..... has let himself go' Lee.

[@djinn_jer]

May I recommend 'the man who sued God' as a one to watch for Billy's films. It's a little dated, but the premise is still relevant.

[@robcannon9165]

Hi Guys you really need to check out another Scottish Comedian called KEVIN BRIDGES and he is a naturally funny story teller like Billy Connolly!!! You need to watch Kevin Bridges on "Would I Lie To You" telling his story " I Once Accidentily Bought A Horse" its so funny and well worth watching.

[@NZLatic]

Wait until you hear him describe the night before his colonoscopy!

[@jamiemacdonald6899]

May or may not be the scene Jess was referring to but after telling that story you have to watch the Ozzy Man Reviews Iguanas Snakes video. It's legitimate nature documentary footage with hilarious Austrlian commentary. You'll appreciate that one.

[@daysofgreenday65]

King Harold in Shrek is actually John Cleese rather than Billy Connolly. Connolly is however in a great movie called Muppet Treasure Island! 😀

[@doegywhail728]

You should see his stand up bit about the Swiss and Toblerone.

[@suemcdonagh7650]

Billy also played a murderer in an episode of Columbo

[@colinbrown7305]

You have to watch An Audience with Billy Connolly. Best comedy routine ever.

[@glyngasson8450]

Billy Connolly said that every time he went on stage he had nothing written down, everything comes out of his brain

[@Obi-J]

US audiences might know Billy from TV sitcom Head of the Class(and it's short lived spin off, Billy) which ran for 1 season(and 6 episodes) in the early 90's. It was supposed to be his big break over in the US but it didn't really work out.

[@bstapylton-smith1940]

I love the Dwarf on the Bus sketch but can I suggest you try Terrorist at Glasgow Airport

[@HaroldHobson-w6f]

He’s also in Lord of the Rings.

[@alexfletcher5192]

Speaking as an Englishman, the relationship between England and Scotland has been - variously - tumultuous, exciting, warlike and resigned - like two very different people having to share the same house. With no possibility of leaving it. But out of that has come a sometimes wary acknowledgement of each other's talents and brilliance. And for those south of the border, Billy Connolly is one of Caledonia's greatest exports. And perhaps a reminder, even today, of what the British Isles looked like before we learned to be more American. (I say this with respect, but it is a fact that we sometimes suffer a loss of identity through over-identification - via language - with a culture that doesn't fully reflect us). Crossing boundaries is the target of humour, however. And he is one of its great geniuses.
