    Once in a while a genius comes along. Dave Allen one. I grew up watching him. I loved him then and still, love him now. Sadly, we shall never see anyone else with his genius. Thank you so much, Dave, for the laughter, the truth you spoke and the wisdom you gave through the laughter.

      Ik besef nu dat ik geluk had , opgroeiend in België , Engelse TV had thuis, BBC, ITV, enzovoort,als kind van de jaren 60, en 70, was deze wonderlijke wereld van Engelse TV ,een bron van zeldzaam geluk en humor,in wat ik noem een moeilijke jeugd,moeder dronk van s'morgens tot s'avonds,en vader dronk om zijn kop in het zand te steken!! En wij (bange)kinderen deden wat wij konden om te overleven in zoeen gezin! Maar je zoekt geluk waar het zich presenteert hè,en ik besef ook dat ik waarschijnlijk misgroeid ben door Dave en zijn laatavond schows,en natuurlijk ook die knotsgekke Dokterhumor van de serie "M*A*S*H*" en die australiër die het begrip Zelfhumor naar een andere niveau bracht,Paul Hogan!
      Terugdenkend aan mijn jeugd en beseffen dat ik echt gelukkig was ,en mij krom lachte tijdens deze schows,en nog steeds nu ,als ik die tune van TAXI hoor met Tony Danza,of er begin liedje van M*A*S*H* ,een warm gevoel van het plezier dat ik daar kon mee ervaren toen in die nare tijd? thuis komen van school en ontsnappen met yogi bear,of Top cat,of die prachtige jeugd TV ,Blue Peter,en dat lied "sailors hornpipe"
      En die zwarte , seksistische, galgen humor van Dave ,is tot vandaag nogsteeds vergroeid in mijn positieve karakter ,wie schreef dat ook al weer,het waren de beste tijden,en het waren de slechtste tijden!
      Zoals Dave zijn er geen twee!👍

      @@brunovanhove1832 sailor's hornpipe is nog steeds 1 van mijn favorieten :) Daar word ik nog steeds vrolijk van! Dave Allen had de kwaliteit om alle fouten van de mens aan het licht te brengen, maar dan wel op zó'n manier dat je er toch om kom lachen. Dat heeft mij ook door veel dingen heen gesleept. (opgroeiend in Nederland, ook kind van de jaren 60 en 60. Stiefpa zoop en sloeg en deed ook andere dingen, moeder liet het maar zo want dat was minder vermoeiend en eng dan er tegen in te gaan). Gelukkig alles overleefd om nu nog steeds te kunnen genieten van Dave Allen's zeldzame kwaliteiten

    No complaints then. We accepted making fun at each other . Be it status, religion family values etc. We all knew where we stood. Now we have the PC brigade (and yes, step in when need be) but ffs. This and other Dave Allen sketches/clips are harmless. Wowwww. I hear you say. "you can't say that, it sounds like you're being prejudice towards people with a dissabilty" Geezz i'm Epileptic and i take the piss out myself with my mates You now get my point. I'm not, and Mr Allen is not also. Lets all lighten up and see fun and banter for what it is, and not what some want it to be.
    Amen

    • @TomDavidMcCauley
      @TomDavidMcCauley 9 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      John mcgowan Not sure you understand what PC means. It means treating people equally, particularly through language, but doesn't preclude joking around as long as the intent is ironic and not meant to malign (but most anti-PC comedians are just too lame and lazy to write a good politically incorrect joke). Dave Allen seems like one of the more PC comedians I've ever seen. It's all about context, intent, and obviously the joke itself. Dave's awesome. Thanks to Stewart Lee for getting me to him.

    • @tomitstube
      @tomitstube 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      +Tom McCauley well put, people seem to think p.c. is killing jokes when all it's doing is weeding out the humorless garbage people try to pass off as "jokes", dave allen can get raunchy or "blue" but it's always of a high caliber. the difference being allen was a brilliant humorist not someone with the latest punch down "joke".
