Remembering The Life Of Beloved Australian Comedian Barry Humphries

[@danadukes6163]

RIP to the genius who entertained the world. He made us laugh, and he made us think. A man who's clever mind steeped in literature, music, art, and an awareness that no one can match. Bless his heart. We will never find another like him on this planet.

[@kenwindrum2246]

No other comedian in the world will ever come close to Barry he an Australian legend.

[@carolinemacrae6227]

I think that aswell.

[@yortsemloh1156]

I agree wholeheartedly! I’m American and first saw him on Jay Leno in my teens. His wit was incomparable. I love his bit on Parkinson with Lenny. He destroyed him.

[@hifijohn]

You're supposed to say, hes a treasure then I'm supposed to say, now hes a buried treasure.

[@a.t.c.3862]

​@@hifijohn 😅 And he would have loved it.

[@justathoughthere]

I disagree. Hape Kerkeling from Germany is just as good as Barry, maybe even better.

[@jamesmarsh1212]

Barry...I'm 73 and for the last 50 years you've brought laughter,laughter, laughter into my life and the lives of my mates! I'LL BET that the good Lord has NEVER been called "POSSUM " beforr...BUT! He'd better get used to it! REQUIESCET IN PACE Mr.Humphries! We all loved you and envy Heavens Angles...give 'em a GREAT show!💖

[@catherinelee3298]

A total genius. RIP, Mr. Humphrey. ❤

[@gerryst-aubin5877]

Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦. My deepest sympathies to Mr. Humphries' family, friends and fans. He will always be remembered as a worldwide icon! I absolutely adored Dame Edna. His humour will live on forever in all of his incredible characters. Australia and the world have lost a unique treasure. Thank you for sharing him with us!

Rest now possum, you spread so much joy and laughter in your 89 trips around the sun thank you.

I totally agree with Kathy's assessment of Barry Humphries' genius. He was a powerful truth-teller and an inspiring artist. i had the priviledge of meeting Barry when he came to Canberra in 2015. Though people might not guess it of me in my work, I told him he was a personal inspiration. I agree with Barry that we will not see his like again. His resilience, confidence and charisma as a performer - and his energy right to the end, were a phenomenon to behold. Thank you Barry for showing us ourselves and making it so hilarious. Vale! XX

[@primategaberocco]

This is a loss, Australia will take years to recover from. Greatness like this is once in a millenia. RIP Bazza, Sir Les lives in my heart 👍

Saddened at the passing of Barry Humphries. He created a couple of original and very funny characters. Always highly entertaining. R.I.P.

[@chrispnw2547]

Let’s not be sad. He lived a long life and had a global stature. He is/was a legend.

I met Barry in a Bendigo classic bookshop in 2011. I was surprised to see him there, minding his own business.

[@korinifilipo4638]

Your legacy will be forever R I P ❤❤❤

[@abbeyshell23]

❤️ pure genius. And he started the Melbourne Comedy Festival. We live in a democracy and every one is entitled to their own views / opinions.

[@dianecameron137]

and some should be more tolerant of the ones that come after him he was genius

[@angeloddrev]

What a lovely tribute, I did laugh at the end the lady promoting her book with all the copies turned towards the camera as it pops up she's an author 😂

[@paulwillard9687]

I will if I may as Brit tell you what we loved his very British style of sense of humour that dryness and wit won us over , rich or poor old or in my case I was young and his naughty style gave a young boy in Sussex something to look up to in 80s Britain, may he rest in eternal peace and grace and I thank him and his memory for the laughter

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

We Yanks (bloody Americans!) loved him as well. Myself, I took to old Barry straightaway.

[@carolinemacrae6227]

I hoped Barrie would always be around. May be he is if we watch a video of him.

[@elzaaltmann]

Can't compare him to anybody or with anybody.

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

RIP Barry Humphries as well as Dame Edna he'll also be remembered as Bruce from Finding Nemo Walter Wombat from the CGI Blinky Bill animated movie the Kangaroo from Napoleon and the Narrator in Mary and Max

[@drevakelemen52n92]

Love You possums !!!

[@Jesusexplains]

Yep … a genius!

[@deelea2965]

ABC's disgraceful and insulting epithet about Barry on tonight's news was a new low for them.

[@Mel-wn9gb]

What did they say?

[@daniellamcgee4251]

After reading your comment, I watched two ABC News about Barry Humphries. It was a respectful brief biography, including achievements, and stated the facts. The facts, and accurate direct quotes were provided regarding the controversy in his later years, without ABC contributing an opinion on those matters. What part did you find insulting?

Dame Edna seemed so distraught at Barry's funeral. I was surprised, since their relationship was often tumultuous.

[@tonybarde2572]

Farewell Bruce

[@danatmatchvox]

he was so much more handsome as the dame

[@Seascape44]

Could you say Barry moved over to the wrong side of the line from time to time? more like Barry pointed out that the line had moved to the ridiculous, which is why we will never see anyone like him again. Humour is dead on the battlefield of PC and WOKE ideology. May their days be numbered.

You put out some valuable content. A little off topic maybe, but there’s this woman I got in touch with during the market downsizing which cost me my job. Ms. Norman Davis helped me manage my assets by introducing my to the best trading platform and strategies, I earned a lot of $$$ working with Norman at the comfort of my home. I still keep in touch with the amazing lady

[@nathaliecamp2630]

I run a mini food business in Paris which have been affected by food inflation and I needed a side hustle that could help me boost my small business, so I could give my employees better wages , I got in contact with Ms. Norman a month ago and my stories became testimonies… I wasn’t charged on my first investment with her. Yes, I received my first returns last week… I’m considering reinvesting

[@w.urlitzer1869]

why wasn't he allowed his own opinions? because they are just that, opinions.

[@soavemusica]

Because he was right, and the woke world has gone mad. Sad and funny.

[@daniellamcgee4251]

Because his opinions were factually incorrect and perpetuating the disinformation that has been used to discriminate against trans people. This type of uneducated disinformation fuelling discrimination not only impacts on trans people's human rights in multiple ways, but increases violence against trans people. The spike in violence, and the stripping away of human rights for trans people in the U.S.A., since social media has spread misinformation, highlights the importance of making a strong stance on misinformation. Not denouncing the uninformed opinions of Barry, a man bestowed with acclaim and honors for decades, is not worth the impact on the lives of many trans and intersex people, current and future.

[@didntlistendad]

Silencing a comedian is so at odds with comedic principles. Moralistic but also harsh and vindictive. We used to be more tolerant and also we laughed more. Who went after him?

[@Ainzleeriddell]

Shame on the cowards at the Melbourne Comedy Festival.

Now all the legal cases after the rumours will come out.
