THE BOONDOCK SAINTS GUY?! Americans React "Billy Connolly - Best Jokes Ever"

[@davidf5967]

Billy is genuinely one of the greatest comedians ever to have lived. Most (if not all) current comedians will say that Billy was their biggest comedy inspiration. His comedy worked well for kids, adults and nan’s. You have a wealth of phenomenal material to get through.

[@BecomeConsciousNow]

Billy Connolly is hilarious. He's one of a few comedians who can make you cry with laughter and makes your sides hurt from laughing too much. Well worth checking him out.

Billy Connolly, possibly the best funny story teller of all time.

[@afrocomber]

One of the greatest comedians of all time, especially as a storyteller. His stand up is legendary. His Two Night Stand release has one of my favourite 'little known' jokes of when he talks about going to a dinner party at the Toff's house. Also his story about the tourettes guy at the shopping mall! On a Billy Connolly scale this video would be 2 out of 10, almost anything else you find of his would be better than this!

[@ganjiblobflankis6581]

Billy Connolly was the comedian who broke through my mum's resistance to foul language and he was the first "adult" comedian I was allowed to stay up and watch when I was young. He has a way of swearing that is funny in itself, so you can actually laugh at the use of an obscenity rather than despite it. Besides that, his storytelling is hilarious of course.

[@sorscha1308]

He did the same with my dad. Billy was always the exception.

[@ladykaycey]

Billy is my hero, the best of the best and an absolute genius. I'm so happy he's a fellow Scot. As well as all his stand up routines (tho old lady on the bus and every town has on can't be missed) he was often a guest on Parkison and had Michael almost on the floor laughing every time.

Genius at work. Have to watch this again for the actual reaction now

What I love about Billy is that even though he had a tough childhood, he dedicated his life to make people laugh🤗😍even when he told Conan O'Brien he had Parkinson he made us laugh. And yes, he is politically incorrect but that's one of the reasons why we love him. Check the video where he teaches English with the F.... off verb😅

Interestingly, Billy did a motorcycle bound travelogue show travelling around Aus and NZ between comedy gigs BEFORE he was in Boondock Saints and Norman Reedus now does one with different showbiz buddies on every show AFTER that film.

Billy Connolly is quite possibly the greatest comedian that has ever lived. He has filled my life with laughter. True legend

[@MrPjutube]

Billy has been an inspiration for generations of comedians. It's hard to describe how much of a comic pioneer he was, when he first arrived on the scene, in the '70s. Before he was embraced by the mainstream, people all over Scotland, then the UK were buying bootleg copies of audio recordings of his gigs (esp. his 'Last Supper' bit, where he reinvents Jesus and the Apostles as guys in a Glasgow pub). So many things he paved the way for, in comedy, are just taken for granted now. He exploded taboos; introduced a whimsical sometimes surreal) stream of consciousness style; created a free form, improvised, type of performance that no one was doing before; and many top comedians rate him as the greatest. I suggest you try the 'Incontinence Trousers' bit from a TV special he did in the '80s, that was filmed in front of a UK celebrity audience. But there are tons of great bits from The Big Yin (his Glasgow nickname, meaning The Big One (Glasgow is his home town).

The only comedian that can make me cry. Lost about 22 dvds with him in a break in. But have bought most of it again. Not to know him in the United Kingdom would be like never having heard of the beatles or elvis. It's just not possible. In fact only the beatles have outsold him on record sales in Scotland. A fine actor for sure. But a god among men when it comes to his stand up stuff. A lot of Americans call him a friend. Woppie Goldberg was so into him in the 90's she did a special with him. Most UK fans has been into him since the 70's. With Parky and the big shows from way back Bites Ye Bum. And Billy and Albert. And hits like.. If it wasnae fer ya wellies. Or In the Brownies.

No matter what talk show he goes on, Billy soon takes it over in his own way . . . I can recommend a good 2 parter one like that for you. Billy was on Parkinson with Tom Cruise to talk to Parky about their latest film coming out, "The Last Samurai". Naturally it didn't take Billy long to veer away from the film topic itself and just start telling some of his stories - soon leaving them both in stitches as it went on . . . So, that one's at least something for you to look into now lads . . . Enjoy!

Billy shouted ‘Aye that’s it! Remembrance Day. Hell of a fucking day to forget’ I’ve never laughed so hard in my life and apparently neither had most the audience 🤣

Billy Connolly is a comic genius! I saw him live back in 1995. The show was due to start at 8 pm, and I was expecting a warm-up act first. Not at all. He came on on the dot of 8 and didn't stop talking for almost 3 hours, there was no interval. I thought I'd die laughing! The next day, I was so sore :) If I had to pick just one of his routines, I'd go with the Wildebeest one - I never get tired of watching it.

[@eamonquinn5188]

Billy Connolly is like a comedic saint. Ever since he emerged in the 70's he has kept us in tears of laughter. Others below have reccommended his live shows, which will bowl you over, but he is very well known for his appearances on the Parkinson show, which exposed his homour to the whole of the UK. Parky was in that lucky space in the 70's when classic A|merican and British actors were still around and still telling wonderful anecdotes, but also he introduced comedians like Billy to the world.

[@sandramorris893]

You can't go wrong with any of Billy's stand-up, every time he opens his mouth he's just funny. 'There's One In Every Town' 'Old Lady on a Bus' 'Potatoes of the Night' 'Shouting at Wildebeest' and so much more hilarious stuff. Funny you mentioned Bill Burr, he was talking about Billy on one of his old podcasts I was listening to the other day and quote "The greatest stand-up comedian of all time" Billy was also in The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise.
