Billy is one of the greatest story tellers of all time. He often goes off on a tangent and has you laughing before the end. You must do his Colonoscopy story.
I've seen that a hundred times and I am on the floor everytime crying and finding it hard to breathe. The way he says 'and she took off'....I'm laughing now thinking about it
I know people who have seen Billy live and then insist that they would never go back to see him again, because it was physically painful from the amount of laughing they did. He's also never done the same show twice, he doesn't work from a script and just extemporises every time he's on stage.
His Zebra being attact on the Savana is so funny you will never forget it. Years ago he did An Audiance With Billy Connoly, his Queen on a horse doing Trooping the Colour new national anthem is amazing. He never fales and with Judy Dench did some amazing film accting.
Very funny guy, who was huge in his day, and not a bad actor too. My favourite being his surprisingly touching role of being a servant to Queen Victoria whilst she was in mourning, who was played by Judy Dench, in the film Mr Brown.
Welcome to SIR Billy Connolly. Scotlands greatest comedy legend. Since retired due to his Parkinson's,but regarded as a National Treasure.here in all of the UK
Young man, get that lovely lady insured because if you are going down the Billy rabbit hole, she is going to burst laughing at some point,. Seriously, love you two, keep 'em coming, and enjoy Billy, he is one of the best ever.
Billy (now Sir Billy, and deservedly so) is basically God in my native Scotland. Most people focus on the later stuff, but Billy Connolly Bites Yer Bum is a classic. Ditto Billy and Albert, An Audience with Billy Connolly and The Pick of Billy Connolly.
Billy is a national hero. From childhood in Glasgow, to shipyard welder and boilermaker, to Army Reserve Paratrooper, to banjo player and folk singer. He transitioned from singing songs and telling funny stories in between to full stand up comedy. Made some incredible TV travel series , been in a wide range of movies and created some very surreal art.
He starts telling u a story and completely veers off it but he always gets back the story he started with,he’s a genius ,im so glad he belongs to us 👍🏼🏴
Favourite short Billy joke. I met this guy the other day, he had a huge dog. He said "he can smell fear". I said "I'm not surprised, I just shit myself".
Billy or "The Big yin" as us Scottish call him has been around since the seventies and is famous worldwide. The guy is hilarious and my Dad said he went to school with him which me and my brother didn't believe. My Da like many older Scottish guys did a fair bit of bullshitting when telling stories. And one day me & my Da were in The Smiddy bar in an area of Glasgow called Partick when who walks in but Billy Connolly himself. He ordered a drink, recognised my Da and greeted him. I got introduced with my mouth wide open and the look on my Da's face when Billy sat at a table to read his newspaper was priceless. A kinda "fawking told you so" look on his face, grinning like a Cheshire cat.😂
I saw Billy many years ago, when I was 8 months pregnant, and I laughed so hard u thought my waters would break! I think there were a few people around me, who were also a bit worried about sitting too close to me! Amazing guy.
Billy Connolly is one of the greatest of all time. I've been cracked up by his stage performances since I was a child in the 1970s. He should be a UNESCO World Heritage Site!
I think I first saw him in Muppet Treasure Island when I was 11 or 12. Much later I found out he was a sort of stand-up god since the mid-70’s. He is now my absolute hero of comedy. There’s so much gold on TH-cam. I highly recommend ”Old lady on the bus” and ”Worst pain known to man”. I like you two. Keep it up!
Billy is the best uk comedian of all time. And maybe THE best of all time. Crazy some people haven’t heard of him, as others have said so much stuff for you to watch from him. There was a dvd that celebrated 25 yrs of Billy’s stand up, it was released in the 90s. Also his tour of Scotland 🏴, all great viewing.
His wife is Pamela Stephenson, Lady Connolly (born 4 December 1949) she is a New Zealand-born psychologist, writer, actress and comedian. She moved with her family to Australia in 1953 and studied at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA). After playing several stage and television roles, she emigrated to the United Kingdom in 1976. Parts in television shows including Space: 1999, New Avengers, The Professionals and Tales of the Unexpected preceded her breakthrough role in the satirical sketch show Not the Nine O'Clock News (1979-1982) alongside Rowan Atkinson, Mr Bean, Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones. Not the Nine O'Clock News might be worth reacting to.
I love watching you guys reacting to comedy especially Jess's laugh, it's contagious! Billy Connolly is the best, he'll make your sides ache with all the laughing. Another comedian you should take a look at is Lee Evans, different kind of comedian but hilarious too 😂
Billy Connolly is a comedy genius. His delivery makes it seems like he is talking to you directly like you would in a bar Check out his Wilderbeast sketch
My country man is the funniest man on the planet 👏🏻👌🏻 and the whole of Scotland will be in mourning when he goes ❤️🙏🏻🏴 long live the BIG YIN ❤️🏴
Great reaction, folks. You can get him on vinyl and tape too, of course, but try to hear him talk about " The Last Supper." Thanks, I laughed along with you two just as much as I laughed at Billy.
Billy Connolly made his name as a superb comedian in the 70's and 80's but he may be more well known by some for his acting career in some major blockbusters. He also had a number of chart songs and more recently in his 80's took up being an artist. An amazingly talented guy.
When I saw you were reacting to Billy Connolly I couldn't wait to start as I knew I would have even more fun with your reaction.Love from an old English lady living in Italy
Billy is one of the finest stand-up comedians that has ever been on stage. He's a story teller of the highest order. He's also a pretty fine actor. He even managed to act opposite Judi Dench and look just as good as her, in Mrs Brown (a film I highly recommend).
See that over there...rabbit hole...dive in and enjoy as he will have your sides hurting with laughing so much....THE GOAT of British comedy...and one of THE great comic story tellers
Billy Connolly is, I believe, the best stand up ever....or certainly among a handful of the best. Brilliant storyteller and very unlike almost any other before him in his style. A naturally very funny man. A Scottish legend. A world legend. Try "mood bracelets"
I can’t believe you guys have never heard or seen Billy Connolly before? He’s a comedy legend, best ever! I once saw him in Newcastle in the 90’s and he was on for 2’30” and when I left my ribs were sore and my cheeks were all burnt off the tears, I was whimpering at the end rather than laughing 😂
As so many others have already said, Billy Connolly is a masterful story teller & in truth transformed British comedy in the 1970s with his ‘observational’ humour. You will now find so many British comedians have followed in his footsteps with this style as opposed to the one line, wisecracking American style of humour. Not only is Billy a master of comedy, he’s a fantastic actor & has played supporting roles in great films such as ‘Mrs Brown’. You could also react to his appearances on ‘Parkinson’, a great chat show of the 70s, 80s & 90s. He’s had the likes of Tom Cruise in stitches on the show. Do not pass up this opportunity to explore this Gold Mine of talent. Best wishes as always
You mentioned his fashion sense. There was an appearance on stage Billy did in the late 70s early 80s where he came on stage wearing a pair of foam bananas for shoes! 🤭😉 They're now in a case in a Glasgow museum, I think?
I had the pleasure of seeing Billy live in the 90s he was absolutely hilarious from start to finish. We laughed so hard for so long I am sure we missed some of his jokes. The same when I went to see Lee Evans 🤣🤣
Billy Connolly and Robin Williams are two of the greatest comedians who also have had great careers in movies. Both brought originality to the stage and screen. Billy's stories on wildebeest, holidays with his family and stories on his life before stand up are hilarious.
Billy is an absolute legend and a national treasure . He used to work in the Glasgow ship yards as a welder back in the day before going on to playing folk music , great banjo player . In between songs his interaction with the audience was so popular at making the audience laugh that he transitioned into stand up . Even though he was well known in Scotland he got his big national break on the legendary UK chat show Parkinson in 1975 ( worth checking out ). His career took off . His influence on comedians in the last 50 years , not just in the UK Robin Williams was a huge fan , has been massive . He has been in many movies but stand up is his true love . Unfortunately in recent years Billy has been diagnosed with parkinsons disease which has led to his retirement from live performances . He has done many TV series usually travelling around different countries including the US , one being Route 66 . A very deep rabbit hole to go down and well worth every second . Billy is now 81 years old and lives in Key West Florida .
Parky always said that there were just two people whose appearance would add millions to his show's bedrock TV audience .... Billy Connolly and Muhammed Ali. 👌
Billy is legendary , ive been following his comely for 40 years, he has a mountain of comedy standup and movies hes in, he was in the Hobbit aswell as Dain Ironfoot

OMG, that is an awesome story. I laughed so hard I nearly suffocated
Billy Connolly has some great stories you should look at the old lady on the bus.
You took the words right out of my mouth 👍🏼
And the Glasgow airport terrorist attack. And the Incontinence pants from an Audience with Billy Connolly
@@MattWhite-vh6xh I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything of his that I didn’t like to be honest 🏴🔥💯👍🏼
Yeah, he doesn't really tell jokes, just hilariously funny stories.
I've seen that a hundred times and I am on the floor everytime crying and finding it hard to breathe. The way he says 'and she took off'....I'm laughing now thinking about it
I know people who have seen Billy live and then insist that they would never go back to see him again, because it was physically painful from the amount of laughing they did. He's also never done the same show twice, he doesn't work from a script and just extemporises every time he's on stage.
I’ve seen Billy live, I’d go back in a heartbeat! I’m a sucker for punishment. 😂
I can relate to that. Saw him at the Pavillion in Glasgow many years ago and my jaw ached for days! Utterly brilliant
I can agree,I saw him live about 30 yrs ago,I can’t remember anything he said but god almighty it was funny 🤣👍🏼🏴
I saw him at the Hammersmith Apollo in the 90's and the bastard nearly killed me.
What did he say... No fucking idea!! 😂
Billy is the G.O.A.T. of British comedy. So much for you to enjoy.
WORLD comedy
If this was your first Billy Connolly,
you're in for a fantastic ride .
Billy is the best story teller ever.

His full length 'An Audience With Billy Connolly' is the funniest thing I've ever seen.
BC is the best !! NZ
Welcome to SIR Billy Connolly. Scotlands greatest comedy legend. Since retired due to his Parkinson's,but regarded as a National Treasure.here in all of the UK
Jess your laugh is ballistic, Glad you guys enjoy our fantastic humour 😂
An Audience woth Billy Connolly is an absolute treat from start to finish. Need to watch all of it though as so many of his stories meander
Billy Connolly's- Incontinent pants routine is an absolute must:)
That's my favourite Billy story, cry laughing every time, and have seen it several times
@@denisecoen2820and terrorist attack at Glasgow Airport
To me, Billy is the BEST! And always will be!! :D
Young man, get that lovely lady insured because if you are going down the Billy rabbit hole, she is going to burst laughing at some point,. Seriously, love you two, keep 'em coming, and enjoy Billy, he is one of the best ever.
So many classic Billy to get into, the greatest comedy story teller of all time and an absolute legend. So many classics, please check out more
Love Billy please one day do Billy Connelly incontinence pants ❤
His Wildebeest story and the Incontinence Pants one are ones to see. He's one of the greatest comedians there has ever been andever will be
Those, and the two Glaswegians visiting Rome for the first time!
Billy Connolly is the best stand up comedian ever
Look up "an audience with Billy Connolly." It's a one-off gig packed with of-their-time celebrities in the audience.
Best storyteller of them all.
Try out another bus story of his called Old Woman on the Bus.
My throat hurt I was laughing so much.
You will too.
Billy Connolly is a national Treasure
Billy (now Sir Billy, and deservedly so) is basically God in my native Scotland. Most people focus on the later stuff, but Billy Connolly Bites Yer Bum is a classic. Ditto Billy and Albert, An Audience with Billy Connolly and The Pick of Billy Connolly.
We had his album as kids my dad used to pretend he wasn't laughing but he roared with us.
Billy & Robin Williams are the two best story tellers, no one comes close to those two legends
A lot more Billy please
Go for the deep dive with Billy, he is one of the greatest.
Billy Connolly - The BIG YIN❗️
A True British Comedy Legend 💛
Billy is a national hero.
From childhood in Glasgow, to shipyard welder and boilermaker, to Army Reserve Paratrooper, to banjo player and folk singer.
He transitioned from singing songs and telling funny stories in between to full stand up comedy. Made some incredible TV travel series , been in a wide range of movies and created some very surreal art.
I saw Billy live in Glasgow years ago, it was painful, my abs ached the next day. A British icon. Peace and love you two.
He starts telling u a story and completely veers off it but he always gets back the story he started with,he’s a genius ,im so glad he belongs to us 👍🏼🏴
Billy the goat
Favourite short Billy joke.
I met this guy the other day, he had a huge dog.
He said "he can smell fear".
I said "I'm not surprised, I just shit myself".
Billy is a legend. The true king of comedy

you would also love an audiance with billy connolly, fantastic storys
Any Billy is awesome but personal favourite is the Wildebeest story - love your reactions to everything so far
He's also a pretty good actor and has an extensive list of TV shows and movies to his name.
The funniest man alive. Do his story about drinking the water in Ibiza.
Another new Comedian? OMG. Where have you been?
the funniest man to walk the earth
Thanks for fixing the volume issues. This is perfect. 🎉
I saw Billy many years ago, when I was 8 months pregnant, and I laughed so hard u thought my waters would break! I think there were a few people around me, who were also a bit worried about sitting too close to me! Amazing guy.

Look out for billy and the wilderbeast..classic
Agree,that's my favourite story,hilarious👍
RegenerationNationTV, you really need to watch Billy tell the story about the old lady on a bus, it's hilarious.
I think I first saw him in Muppet Treasure Island when I was 11 or 12.
Much later I found out he was a sort of stand-up god since the mid-70’s.
He is now my absolute hero of comedy.

Watch the ITV Audience with Billy. At his best
Thats mild for Billy, easily the best comedian to come from these shores.

Not the Nine O'Clock News might be worth reacting to.
Sir Billy is just the best. He is the godfather of British comedy.
Billy knows how to spin a good yarn. Sometimes forgets what he is talking about ! xx
I love watching you guys reacting to comedy especially Jess's laugh, it's contagious! Billy Connolly is the best, he'll make your sides ache with all the laughing.
Another comedian you should take a look at is Lee Evans, different kind of comedian but hilarious too 😂
you need his earlier stuff..'an evening with billy connolly' is the funniest show I ever saw.
Billy Connolly is a comedy genius. His delivery makes it seems like he is talking to you directly like you would in a bar

Thanks, I laughed along with you two just as much as I laughed at Billy.
Billy is a great storyteller as is Jethro. You need to check him out.
Hands down, the best Billy Connolly bit is the one about incontinence pants.
Billy Connelly is one of the funniest comedians in the world 🌎 You must do more 😂
Just confirmation Americans are on a different planet, never heard of billy connelly
Whereas others just don't know how to spell Billy Connolly 🤷♂
One of the greatest comedians and story tellers ever.

Another great choice and great reactions to a comedy legend 😊 you won't go far wrong with any Billy video ❤
I love that you watched this clip of Billy.. I do however find your audio output low, and requires quite a turn up of the volume control..
Billy is one of the finest stand-up comedians that has ever been on stage. He's a story teller of the highest order. He's also a pretty fine actor. He even managed to act opposite Judi Dench and look just as good as her, in Mrs Brown (a film I highly recommend).

Another great reaction from you guys, Jess's laugh is worth tuning in for alone 😂
You must react to Billy Connolly - Colonoscopy
Billy Connolly is, I believe, the best stand up ever....or certainly among a handful of the best.

How can u not know about Billy, he's been a living legend and national treasure since the 70's.
I recall when I left senior school in 1975, I bought Bill's double album. He's been around a long while.
You need to show more Billy Connolly he is the best comedian ever! 🏴

More Connolly please. Ace story teller.
You can’t go wrong with Billy. Everything he does is just hilarious. And yes the Scottish accent is the best. Greetings 🇳🇱
