Tributes Flow From Around The World For Beloved Comedian Barry Humphries

[@emmapeart6101]

Rest in peace Barry Humphries. A great comic genius and legend. ❤

[@uv357raz]

Today I searched for "Dame Edna" to get a few laughs when I came across this sad news .. Barry Humphries is certainly one of the best comedians who every lived .. he belongs to the genius, brilliant and exceptional category of comedians the likes of charlie Chaplin, rowan Atkinson and such great characters.

[@1953rich]

Thanks Barry for bringing Dame Edna to us. It was true joy so entertaining and hilarious always had us in stitches. A pure genius. You will never be forgotten R.I.P

[@matthewevaford548]

We’ve lost a true talent - best Australian comedian and one that can never be replaced. Thank goodness for the hilarious archives that will keep his humour alive forever.

[@hughrendell1702]

This is truely heartbreaking, another Australian Icon and legend gone. I was still awake when I heard the news break late Saturday night. One of the biggest thing I will miss the most about Barry’s comedic style is of course Dame Edna Everage and her iconic opening line; HELLLLOOOOO POSSUMS!!! There will never be another like him.

[@julieross652]

A true talent who will be sadly missed he taught us how to laugh at ourselves, something we have forgotten how to do currently God Bless Barry.

There must be people around the world who are so glad that Mr Humphries, whether as the persona of Dame Edna or Sir Les Patterson, singled them from the audience and for a short while included them into his world, what wonderful memories they must have and how I envy them but in a good way darlings....thank you so much Barry and God bless you, you will be greatly missed. We will never see the likes of you again.....

[@karenbrown2135]

Very sad to hear he passed away. Dame Edna was my favorite. So, so sad. At least we can still see him on the internet. Rest In Peace Barry…….

[@joskewolfman]

We all (over the world) should be enormously grateful to have known Dame Edna (Barry) for the laughter and enjoyment he created for us!!! Barry was a genius for creating laughter!! I still crack up laughing when I think about it when he was next to the Royals... "They found a better seat for me", that was the purest of comedy!!!! RIP Barry and thank you!!!!

I hate this society and the vindictive people who say love is love...I HATE them for their selfishness. As a young immigrant boy I grew up in Australia and the whole family watched the Don lane show and Dame everidge was on an I wish wish that Australia was the best place on earth in the 70s and 80s no body was affended and Australia was able to laugh at ourselves and the world without malice. We need to erect a statue of this Great Man who brought witt and joy...not at anybody's expense. Unlike the shallow so called comedians who like to dress up and it's all about them but if u disagree they'll turn into a hurricane and come in screaming and leave screaming. God bless this great icon.

In this current world, we're unlikely to ever see another Barry Humphrey's.....the woke world of 2023 will never allow it. SAD!

We are literally trying to normalise drag shows and it's the right protesting it. 😂😂😂

[@lukesmale24]

@@bobhawke7373 Exactly. The irony of this is Barry Humphries wouldn't be allowed to do Dame Edna in Florida.... Insane!

[@OscarHales-ms7ez]

People tried to cancel him all throughout his life. Originally, it was the conservatives trying to cancel Barry for being too rude and not portraying Australia properly. I think a true talent will always rise above the cancelling mobs whether they be of the left or the right.

[@austenj4539]

It is fortunate for current day 'comedians' that they have the option to 'self identify' as being funny. When Barry Humphries spat that out during a recent performance, it showed how up to date and cogent his 'art' was as a comic genius.

[@pholland6643]

Love Visard too, he's become such a Dad. Barry H is a giant. Very sad seeing this generation of truly talented characters passing on.

Surreal that he's not around anymore

[@arceliedunn2022]

It's a shame his type of humour touched a raw nerve with you , instead of making you feel included in the joke . It seems many of the nation's people felt they shared a commonality with him, even if it was just the need find humour in every aspect of life.

[@savannahjackson8513]

@@arceliedunn2022 it wasn’t his humour and comedy which offended me. It was his comments he made when not in character as Dame Edna. Barry (not Dame Edna) was quite anti-trans
