    I have an old copy of Honey Bear I got for my Mum as it was her favorite as well. Also, Barry has a zeal for life that is very inspiring. Listening to him talk is very uplifting! He is very young at heart!!!

    He is pure genious, this brilliant man. Unfortunatly not very well known in Norway, where I belong, but after I "found" him and his splendid characters in here, I've become a HUGE fan.
    Let's get as much material as possible available!!
    Please!!

  • @chadjcrase
    @chadjcrase ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This is one of the best interviews I've seen with Barry (and I think I have seen this a few times before), but it really encapsulates him perfectly: The ego, the wit, the rebelliousness, but also the curiosity, interest in, and care for, all people.

    So funny Barry talking about Sunday afternoon drives with his parents as we in South Africa (in the 50’s and 60’s) did that as well! For the exact same reason! We all dreamt of a better life one day..

    Take notice all actors what Barry said it's about cheering people up.
    And that's what he did for many years. Gone but always remembered in our heart's.
    Loved by all especially in Melbourne.

    Mr Humphries is a wonder of life in Australia. Every interviewer has ended up laughing their heads off (along with the floor crew).

    Need cheering up. It’s why I watch him

  • @dianahockins717
    @dianahockins717 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I have enjoyed Dame Edna for about 50 years. I remember watching with my mother when I was still in high school, I'm now in my early 70s. I spent a few months in Mexico in early 2019. I was so thrilled to see an advert for Dame Edna, but my sister insisted it must just be an impersonator, so we missed it. Probably the real thing! What a lost opportunity. I'll never forgive my sister.

    He ended up getting cancelled by the woke mob. The BBC has so much to answer for.

    • @jamesfrench7299

  • @dusanoljaca2585
    @dusanoljaca2585 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    "People need cheering up!" This is the heart and mentality of a pure comic actor, and this is also what's missing from comedy today. Today comics care more about "seeming smart" than they do about being funny and making people laugh. In the end they come across as neither smart nor funny.

    It's a shame everyone focuses on the Edna character, and not so much Barry's other works.
    He was very passionate as a theatre actor, but it seems it would be Edna that saw him fame.
    I'm grateful for the gifts he gave us, great amd small, but we all know Edna was from another stratosphere.
    Scathing, polite, back-handed compliments, and saying all the things polite society wouldn't dare - it was marvelous

    He really was brilliant, but I'm afraid we've run out of time.
    Such a classic final comment on the pretentious psychotherapist fools who pretend to understand the human mind, while being incapable and uninterested in doing so. Fortunately, here we had a congenial master of the mind and, unfortunately, it now has a new and similarly final meaning.
