Reverend I.M.Jolly

The cheeriest man in the world.
The Rev I.M.Jolly delivering his usual hogmanay cheer.

[@Cool2BCeltic]

One of Scotland's greatest entertainers. He was, I might add, a regular church goer. I went to the same church.

[@rosscannon5834]

he just has to say hello at start and I'm in stitches

[@jaynehinds3339]

Same

[@alfiekelly5914]

I worked on a cruise and spotted a guy with an I.M. Jolly book. I simply said 'Hello' and he came back with the same. We done that for a week. No other conversation!

[@maryclynch9356]

Nobody does it better, as Carly Simon, would say ! New Year has never been the same without our Rikki ! I met him at the bottom of Suchiehall St. I said, oh hello ! He said, Oh hello ! Made my day. RIP beloved comedian xxx Scotland is crying without you !😰

[@Camille_Anderson]

mum and dad watched this every year growing up & i think " up there " , they still will be laughing their heads off together!!! thank you, genius Rikki for giving us these precious moments of pure joy!! legend!!!

Your darn right. Both BBC and ITV just show 3rd rate guff. That's why I put on the compilation DVD of these Wonderful performances.

[@liztomlinson2146]

This brings back BRILLIANT memories for me. Better times. 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

[@HelenCelticGhirl]

R.I.P Rikki Hogmanay isn’t the same anymore you and your co actors made Hogmanay a night to look forward to every year gone but never forgotten legend sadly missed

[@theboyboland]

Never has the word "hello" been so funny

[@williamrae9954]

Or so depressing...thank Adele

[@chrisbalanda9368]

I believe it's far more important to make others happy than be happy yourself

[@alanturnbull5668]

Wow, what a delivery. How could anyone give this a thumbs down? I just don't get that.

[@stuartmack7658]

Probably some American presbyterian's who don't get humour, or mistook this is an attack on Christianity.

[@MrMallorcaboy]

ricki fulton was a genious. sadly missed, will never be replaced

[@KosherCarPark]

I had to pause it after the 'sermon on the mount' part was laughing so much! Miss auld Rikki, he was brilliant. xx

[@tirnaog09]

Rikki actualy played a spy in the classic movie 'Gorki Park' and was a very good serious actor. He had brilliant comic timing and the 'IM Jolly' sketches parodied Scottish TV s late Call programme in which clergymen were given 5 minutes to speak to the nation. Great stuff!

[@GraemeKanu]

The deadpan comedic delivery, coupled with the Scottish accent.

[@maryclynch9356]

My mum will be in heaven now, laughing her head off, at our favourite comedian. When he gave us a laugh, mum went hysterical ! Then she got me laughing !!!! Comedy genius !

[@shuggyduggy]

RIP Rikki, Gone but never forgotten!

[@tirnaog09]

RIP Rikki, I salute you Sir. A true Scottish Legend.

[@mentalasme]

The Best,Isn`t It Weird Without Rikki Fulton Now At Hogmanay,He Was Quite Simply A Genius,Sadly Missed!!

[@margaretking8103]

It's being so cheerful as keeps me going!!

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

don’t know anyone else that can have people laughing even almost before he says hello ❤❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@michaelhepburn6530]

His humour will never age unlike the rubbish we have to suffer now

[@HighTen_Melanie]

The wonderful Rikki Fulton the man who was the Rev I.M Jolly. So loved, so missed. ❤️

[@AngelEarth2011]

The nurse who gave me my 'pain in the arm' booster jag today was about as jolly as Reverend I.M.Jolly lol

[@TheScunneredMan]

Friends and I met a dead ringer for the Rev in a pub, many years ago. And he WAS a minister. He had never heard of or seen these sketches.

[@scottishguy9999]

one word,LEGEND

[@journeyer58]

Absolutely the best! This is fantastic!

[@RobertKincaid-vq3hn]

[@theresekennedy9295]

Brilliant miss Rikki so much.

[@mrsamaribs]

Just pure class sir.

[@belindavannan9003]

Spot on ....new year isn't the same now ...

[@MrFallingcats]

how does he not burst out laughing?

[@greensmurf9623]

I remember reading a while back that he really didn't find this character funny. He always found it bizarre that people loved it so much. He had to be persuaded a lot of the time.

[@normanchristie4524]

Wondrous stuff!

[@simonrobertson7525]

I'm in hysterics everytime I watch it

[@iolani77]

Hilarious! Rikki is sadly missed.

[@juniemoonhagan4844]

[@dannyboy1779]

[@andrewthomson2628]

Shame about the canned laughter.

[@HAZRIC1910]

I see 3 people need a humour transplant.

[@LerwickRick]

Ruined by canned laughter!

[@HAZRIC1910]

That was a live audience. No volume control there.

[@BlytheWorld1972]

Real people not like the fake american pish

[@EaterofWorlds-DN]

Why are the people laughing at everything!? What is so funny?!

[@drghostboy8319]

Josh Dieterich man this guy is a Scottish Legend

[@bjorntoulouse7523]

I’m English and I’d never heard of him before. Like you, I don’t know what everyone’s laughing at, which is a bit odd because I’m laughing as loud as anyone.
