Edna is sincerely brilliant. The timing and storytelling is insane.

[@skippyoz3366]

Dame EDNA a true entertainer. Brilliant. An Aussie icon. Huge intellect.

[@preciousdevere288]

Barry Humphries a brillient man certainly made this show worth watching!

[@_s_p_a_r_k_e_s_7615]

Absolutely brilliant! RIP Barry 😢

[@grahamnancledra7036]

By Far, the best Dame Edna Interview on US TV. Roseanne was well into the act and let the Dame rule the roost. Both enjoyed the audience reaction and Barry even when pretending to be sad was well able to smile at the reaction. Brilliant. I often wondered how Sir Les Patterson would have gone down in the States. Seems to me that Sir Les is only understood and could get away with his style in Australia and the UK.

[@lisagerman2111]

"...there are no strangers in world, just those you haven't met yet..." - spoken by either Dame Edna or Barry, the wisdom in those few words still resonate.

[@debbiegoodine5037]

That is wonderful, a great reminder that we don't take the time often to think things through. Makes think of my 2 boys being born. ❤❤❤

[@iut7jj]

Barry Humphries: comic genius

[@jameswilson7964]

Barry makes even the worst show look good

[@dohaperson1]

Roseanne stole Edna's joke about the Queen and the beauty products but couldn't make it 10% as funny. Edna should be on stage by herself in this case.

[@jessiejames7492]

hes brilliant

[@fidelmavahey5557]

Kangaruban!!!! 😂😂😂. Only Dame Edna could possibly be so ridiculously quick witted God we miss you so much. You genius, comedic legend ❤❤

[@noislamonazisdotcom9888]

THE DAME IS BRILLIANT.

[@dohaperson1]

Too bad she's with such a talentless idiot like Roseanne who can't even be straight man for Edna. Saying directly that Valmay is a lesbian when Edna's wicked humour is about what is implied and suggested.

[@bondbrookebond]

RIP. Les, Dame Edna, Barry Humphries. Born: 17 February 1934, Kew, Australia Died: 22 April 2023 at Sydney's St Vincent's Hospital. 😥🕊

[@debbiegoodine5037]

Rip Dear Barry! It is time now for the Angels to enjoy your talent, while we have your memmories.❤❤❤

[@derekgleeson1353]

Roseanne had been on Edna's show years prior. She knew the drill

[@nighthawwwk]

The day where Roseanne realized, that she is totally outpowered by Dame Edna when it comes to intelligence, style and humour.

[@mauricerobins7223]

😄⚘🧸🙋‍♀️🌺🛸🌌.

[@TheDivayenta]

Like everybody else!

[@Toracube]

Great chemistry between these two. They obviously like each other.

[@Nate-tw4zi]

I actually think they have great chemistry together. Although Roseanne seems like a bit more of a fan than a peer

[@richardfuchs3690]

The irony is that Dame Edna's talk show performances are a spoof of terrible talk shows like Roseanne's.

[@trevorbayers2175]

Roseanne is a talented comedian and her original sitcom, “Roseanne” was brilliant but shes out of her element here and the talk show format doesn’t work at all with her.

[@rory89]

Couldn't agree more

[@AniMerci]

Skip to 7:50 for Dame Edna.

[@dohaperson1]

First, Roseanne ruins the joke by saying DiCaprio's name (Edna was for sure going to "hint" about the sinking ship) so Edna throws shade by referring to the "chemistry" he has with Roseanne when clearly he means there isn't any because Roseanne is too dumb for his jokes.

[@duccik5509]

Dame - "I mean, what beauty products have been tested on the Queen". Roseanne- "Not too many". Dame - "No, hardly any!"

[@steviegbcool]

🤣

[@danehereford9475]

Oh my goodness Roseanne, I thought you were self-aware.

[@nighthawwwk]

Obviously not

[@nickmtl2570]

Awww I miss the 90s, I miss good television, I miss Roseanne.

[@clarenicola1]

I enjoy both of these eccentric head lining human beings💋

[@alanwood4717]

I Love seeing Roseanne! Roseanne!!! #ednacare lol What a pleasure to see this show. Edna way up there!!

[@stevenoates6692]

Dame Edna is a total genius and an icon. Roseanne is one dimensional and actually quite painful to watch.

[@debbiegoodine5037]

Loved her early sitcom! It was so true to life. Everything after was painful to watch. ❤

[@theturtlearchives]

@@debbiegoodine5037 you two are a painful watch ❤

[@debbiegoodine5037]

@@theturtlearchives The proper word would be too not two. Going to comment? At least get it right. In fact Rosanne got the axe for a reason Right?

[@androgyny77]

Roseanne really doesn't know how to bounce of Barry at all does she. I wish someone had told her to play along and not loudly interupt before he gets to the punchline.

[@MrSpaceace1999]

Go lick obum boot

[@bsrlpar]

I do not agree at all. Roxanne "Got her excellently". Great show.🇦🇺

[@yorkandpomona]

I’ve watched a bunch of these episodes and it seems to be something she does often, interrupt her guests.

[@adrianjackson2696]

Barry is a Camberwell Grammar School (Church of England) old boy however he was at my school 15 years earlier than me.

[@adrianjackson2696]

@sovereignty rules - Moonee Ponds is not far away from the elite University of Melbourne were Barry studied and he often travelled on the trains The Army Reserve has deports in Moonee Pond and affluent Hawthorn too. I was posted to Moonee Ponds from 1984-1987 as ARA Cadre staff. Actually Dame Edna was modeled on some of Barry's aunts and his mother I understand. I have seen four of his show in Melbourne. When some ratbags said that the voters did like then PM Sir Robert Menzies Barry said yes they did not like him, except those that voted for him. I lived in Menzies Kooyong electorate from 1964 to 1971 before joining the Army. Barry's father was a house builder.

[@adrianjackson2696]

@sovereignty rules In one show Barry showed his home films and seen were some of the nice brick houses in Camberwell that his father was involved with building. They were not your run of the mill triple fronted brick veneers either like our former house in North Balwyn. Another film showed my sisters school MLC Kew and she said when watching it as the Arts Centre there is my first headmaster Rev Wood.

[@deepblue64]

Even this crap was lighten up by Dame Edna

[@duccik5509]

I dare say Monica's mother has the same ability!

[@johnelkins2591]

Roseanne seemed so unprepared and awkward in this show. Thank goodness Dame Edna took over.

[@TheDivayenta]

I think like most people, she was bowled over by the brilliant Dame.

[@nancycurtis488]

I love Roseanne!

[@lee-wy9th]

Adorable

[@danehereford9475]

This show needed a director.

[@trevorbayers2175]

She fired them all

[@debbiegoodine5037]

Also needed the true comedienne she was and not someone readying cue cards🎉🎉

[@marinakaye8284]

Americans didn't know how to approach the Dame, they related to her as a woman, and missed a lot of the bitter irony of Barry Humphries.

[@roseanneroseanneadu1651]

At the time when Humphries made a splash with the character, Americans perceived men in drag to be gay... or Tootsie. And now in an era when gay and transgender is the norm, it's probably even more confusing to persons unfamiliar with his schtick.

[@adrianjackson2696]

Humphries is a straight married man (two or three times married I think)

[@marinakaye8284]

Yes. With a son. The Dame was supposed to be loosely based on a satirical observation of his mother.

[@adrianjackson2696]

Yes and some aunts as well as other women (housewives) from the 1950/60"s

[@jonrosenlof3536]

Marina Kaye I"m American and I get it. I love Brit humour. I grew up on Monty Python.

[@fourscoreand9884]

Good God.... Dame Edna: @7:55

[@csaracho2009]

Roseanne in Dame Edna's Show!

[@sicilianotoronto]

I stopped watching after Dame left lol

[@katarina1852]

Oh my goodness Rosanne, kangaroos don’t have hooves. They have feet with toes.

[@mark-j-adderley]

“My mother drools about a barrel a day ...”. 😪🤭 🤣

[@adrianjackson2696]

Some of Barry's characters are Lance Boil a union official who called an airline strike to stop his wife from leaving him by aeroplane, Phil Philby a creepy film maker who got an award for a film about the "problem" of lesbianism in a women's aboriginal refuge prison and Sir Les Paterson Australia's grubby and sexist Minister for Culture. Dame Edna is not a real dame (a lady knight) its just part of the act. However The Queen of Australia (Elizabeth 11) and Australian government has given Barry Humphreys other real honours. He has a CBE (Commander of the British Empire) and AO (Order of Australia).

[@alexthrill1386]

R.I.P Barry Humphries!

[@SilentEchoes91]

No commercials!! 🤣

[@jtg3765]

Love how you read those cue cards - and I don't mean the ones you're holding.

[@debbiegoodine5037]

I said the same thing a comedienne does not come off funny while reading every word❤

[@invisiblemaninvisibleman2097]

Roseanne was not at all with it Overshadowed N she hated it

[@christopherbrzycki9525]

Really Rosanne ............what a bogan ! ....dame Edna.....class.....

[@CR-yn5sy]

I find Roseanne to be a cross between Helen and Sharon Osborne

[@juliecaissie6530]

Omg what a difference!

[@invisiblemaninvisibleman2097]

Roseanne is sharp But made to look ordinary here....

[@helengibbs7177]

💚

[@battybatshytcrazy4365]

This show was actually really good, shouldn’t have been canceled

[@carolepworth2857]

Do Americans even though who dame Edna is?

[@hondah35]

Some Americans know who she is. Dame Edna had some success in the US in the late 1990's and early 2000's and even appeared in quite a few episodes of the American TV show Ally McBeal. But her success was more a reflection of the times, and her cerebral wit is not suited to most Americans' taste, sad to say.

[@vickihshallenberger3644]

Yes! I am an American and I know who Dame Edna is! He is a man playing a woman ( in Drag) and is a comedian!

[@danehereford9475]

I could have done a better make over for Patti.

[@ZVG814]

Oh that waitresses look 20 years older than they are

[@shmookins]

I am so high that I cam here for Edna and only realized she aint coming back at 37:42

[@KellyRogers-sh8il]

😅 the insults people 😮

[@michaelgarcia2024]

Roseanne, all forgiven!🌈💲😂😂

[@rucsric]

I miss Roseanne!! The Connors are no Roseanne!!!

[@3DMOVIES4YOU]

(( SORRY, BUT THAT'S ONE OF THE WORST HAIRDOS I'VE EVER SEEN ON THAT POOR YOUNG WOMAN ))

[@oliviamartini9700]

Not a single clap from the audience (or Edna), so embarrassing.

[@dave_goldcrest]

Hmm. Hilarious. However, Roseanne is like let's not talk about the Clintons! I wonder why. She does now.

[@piggypiggypig1746]

18:12 Okay, who did it?

[@turnedaround4954]

Edna is so funny, Roseanne kind of ruins the vibe with her, well, vibe

[@jessiejames7492]

MERICANS just dont understand teh great british humour....even the accent for that matter. watch graham norton when he has one american guests and the rest brits. the american ones are always dumbfounded...

[@trevorbayers2175]

Not entirely true Jessie. I’m american and I LOVE Dame Edna. Always have. Brilliant and so funny. And I believe the funniest sitcom ever made was Absolutely Fabulous. I have the three series and its specials on DVD

[@chieromancer]

Was is really kangaroo?

[@davidlaw689]

Kangaroo is delicious. Similar to venison in texture and taste

[@tonystone1016]

I can honestly say I remember Roseanne before she turned Maga psycho.

[@laurabusse1832]

Roseanne had another show after the sitcom?

[@Bandido894]

17:07 'You haven't changed at all, but you will won't you'. After shaglotion. xD

[@samadams219]

Roseanne had a talk show???

[@Crazyjn]

Two different ones...

[@deborahhoffman7394]

Rosanne presents as SANE back then. When did the mental decline begin?

[@cecgm938]

25:25 kangaroo is not kosher, it chews cud but does not have hooves.

[@leah1tee367]

Pattie's new hairstyle is dreadful

[@galaxiehubba]

after shag lotion, lolol RIP

[@hughhaefner5486]

Roseanne way out of her element with this show. Stick to what you know. Don't fix it if it ain't broke. Her monologue had only hints of what good writers could have done with it. I have the punchlines that should have been added to that pathetic dribble.

[@davedaveson5495]

Is she gurning?

[@justynjonn]

These talk show formats are always so awfully contrived . They throw comedians who were former sitcom stars great with a script but not in this format.

[@debbiegoodine5037]

Someone doing comedy can refer to notes, not read every world.😂😂😂

[@javiercontreras2358]

Rossane's face is beautiful

[@rogerholzem2315]

Javier Contreras you’re desperate!

[@ivanpolik2782]

and her pons voice&brain

[@arconeagain]

Yeah but her neck and everything below is disgusting. And if you could only see her putrid brain the racist bitch. Barry would regret having anything to do with the scoundrel.

[@helencosgrove3711]

How did Dame Edna end up on this pathetic show.

[@dave_goldcrest]

Kangaroovenstein is obviously kosher.

[@keithmitchell3282]

of course i meant roseanne barr, a more revolting person you wont see..i am certain that roseanne would gladly surrender either of its testicles to gain a fraction of barrys' creativity and smarts,as an australian i am sure that most of us would prefer to see les patterson as prime minister

[@icepooky8091]

The inexpensive throne archaeologically mate because nut superiorly knit without a illegal pastry. cloudy, unbiased nail

[@martinfiay7178]

I am old as my tongue and a little older than my teeth, brilliant , meaning he has false teeth being old ...lol

[@leah1tee367]

No, it means you're born with a tongue, but your teeth come later.

[@oliviamartini9700]

He filched that line from Kris Kringle in "Miracle on 34th Street".

[@igorpollick2599]

roseanne has terrible vocals

[@Bandido894]

But nice laugh.

[@beachlife2968]

Yeah she speaks out of her nose.

[@adrianjackson2696]

As Dame Edna would say a "common" voice.

[@keithmitchell3282]

roseanne barr of course

[@lynnjohnson1239]

I didn't know how dull roseanne was and still is. Usually try not to criticize others but I just don't like that woman.

[@shamaneikajohnson7117]

Is Dame Edna a man

[@shamaneikajohnson7117]

poida No is your momma a man ?

[@adrianjackson2696]

Dame Edna is a female character, one of a few different ones in his stage shows. The man is comedian Barry Humphreys from Melbourne who has been married to women (one at a time) all his life and he has children. I have seen 3 shows in Melbourne and I am a straight former Infantry officer.

[@foryourspirit3995]

Check out the rest of the Dame Edna videos on YT. Hilarious!

[@danehereford9475]

Research, OR Google, at least before texting... unless trolling.

[@ionthetarget]

Ouch. Her voice is so annoying. Had to move on.

[@roslyncampbell7816]

Didnt like Patty's hair.

[@moriahlyn]

Edna is creepy af

[@jefolson6989]

Nothing creepy about Edna. But Barry Humphries other famous character, Les, Pederson is wonderfully disgusting!
