I agree totally, shit couple of months but this man is the king of stand up bar none, billy thank you for being around when I could appreciate you and not have to listen to old folk saying you should have seen billy connelly,, well I did , cheers big yin, x
That's all very well, but a lot of people in the presence of a celebrity become tongue tied. Hardly ideal for free flowing conversation. Don't forget Billy is now retired and unwell. If he doesn't read the messages, he certainly won't want to sit down with millions of strangers.
Bought this video back in 1994 and both me and my missus used to love it. It's one of the few fond memories I have of her. I'd do the broken arse walk when we got off escalators in shopping centres and she'd be struggling not to literally piss herself laughing.
Billy! No bullshit, my man. This is the funniest standup I've ever seen. I wore down my VHS tape watching it over and over. Every once in a while I still mumble Potatoes of the Night to myself.
I saw a kid earlier trying to make his way to a bus and he was doing the leaning forward walk. I just burst out laughing and thought of this clip. Billy has it dead on 😂
@@irbennett There was a guy at my High School who walked that leaning forward way .. .. He is now a Transsexual and also appeared in a recent TV advert for Mental Health

@@heatherhoward2513 I do have a sense of humour, but why would anyone watch Billy doing the forward leaning walk for 2 hours and pay for it. Anyone sane that is. Anyhoo Billy is my favourite LIVING comedian, and I said I was sad because a forward leaning walk is one of the unfortunate symptoms of his Parkinsons
@irbennett sorry, I didn't know about the walk of parkinsons! But Billy wouldn't have done that for 2 hours anyway, and doesn't he also have the disease now?
@@heatherhoward2513 Billy has Parkinsons now, the walk is one of his symptoms. Along with his problems with his balance and having Pamela dress him in the mornings. Also the disease has started to affect his memory. In a documentary on the BBC a couple of weeks ago, he thought the An Audience With BC from 1985 was filmed a couple of years ago. Very sad for a man who so relied on his memory in the past.
Man, no other comedian has ever done this to me and consecutively, too! In '98 my (Irish) dad gave me a tape of Billy at Albert Hall with the zebra-striped suit. I watched the tape but my understanding of the dialect wasn't good, it was terrible so I didn't understand it. After some years I re-watched it, I kid you not, I was under the table, laughing, crying and my 2 best mates were there on the floor alongside me. I couldn't understand how he could bring his material so profoundly, like a grandfather telling his life experiences and perceptions. Until this day, and until my last, this man will be my all-time favorite comedian, I thank you, Sir Connolly.
after being briefly bullied on an online news comment chain I turned to Billy for a smile and boy am I laughing now, quietly, to not wake others in the house, thank you Billy for all you have done to make us laugh you're a hero
Hahahahahahh! It's almost 1am and can't stop laughing at this. Ah Billy, he's the best. So authentic and real, especially about those blokes you feel sorry for with the leaning forward walks hahahahahhahahah
Love Billy Connolly ❣😄 when i need a laugh...i can always watch his videos, does the trick 😄 BIG YIN ✌ The forwarded leaning walk and the drunk slightly off balanced walk...😂

He's not wrong. I remember those kids with the laugh and run at my school. My friends and I used to think the same thing, they were pushed out the door by their mum and the momentum carried them through the day lol
@@irbennett negative IQ spotted. I can relate to Billy Connolly because I have had the same experience as Billy Connolly and thats how comedy works. You find the humor in the fact you can relate to the observation. The fact that you don't understand such a simple concept shows you are the kind of person Billy is talking about. Good job exposing yourself 😂😂😂
@@velvetinedrapes4359 Actually I have an IQ of 113. If you spotted a negative one you must have been looking in the mirror. You say you have had the same experience but I don't believe that., so you can't relate to something that didn't happen. I understand the concept, it just doesn't apply to you. Good job exposing yourself.
I am. Billy was brilliant at making us laugh at the simplest of things in life. Other British comedians like Peter Kay, Michael McIntyre have continued this since Billy was in his prime. Ben Elton too a while ago, where did he go.
@@mickmac3360 Absolutely mate. There was also that classic moment when he was told by the stage manager that the Royals were in the audience and that it’d be a good idea to “tone his act down a bit” …..Billy snapped back “fuck off are you kidding?? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be the most vulgar I can be!” 🤣 ….legend
Seeing Billy live was essential, though many people weren't able to. But if one routine HAD to be seen live it's this one, it's just not the same on video, it never will be. It's a pale imitation.
@@irbennett See, here you go. Funny. You have either got a chip on your shoulder, or you pretend to have a chip on your shoulder. Either way, it makes me laugh
@@DAVEEPAUL I don't have a chip on my shoulder, though I did have sausage and chips for tea. I don't remember seeing any of the chips on my shoulder. How would they even get there. Worrying.
For years and years, a Scottish newspaper or perhaps numerous ones ran a Billy Connolly cartoon strip. It was in Scots Gaelic, I believe. I wonder if an English version was ever done.
The one in every school reminded me of writing a database for someone in a company I worked at a 'few' years ago. We'd only spoken on the phone and he formed a visual impression of me that was a tad off. When he first saw me he told me he was expecting a skinny little nerd with glasses. He was surprised when I said I wasone so asked what happened. My response was 'Laser eye treatment, several years of weights, but I'm still a nerd.' Us oddbods sometimes become what you don't expect. Of course some parts of us stay the same. I like being a nerd, who needs socail graces anyway.
that was me the drunk walk my mate Stanly was one step missing walk it broke me up can you imagine me and my mate stan arm in arm miss him so much peace to all
My ex-wife bought me tickets to see him with my pal 20 years ago and it's still the funniest night of my life. A big woman beside me couldn't breathe. I thought she was for the bin...she survived as did all of us. The funniest man that's ever lived.
I was there. I was that soldier. - I was fortunate enough to be around when this video was released. Fred West wasn't too pleased about it, and he managed to get his twats, (legal team), get the video pulled & re-cut removing most of the material about him. I rushed out and bought a copy of the show before it was pulled. Dunno what West was bothered about. If you're going to kill folk and bury them in your garden, you deserve all the ridicule you get. G'wan Big Yin.
We indeed have a guy in town who runs leaning forward. He's a bit simple and lives at the top of a hill. You see him legging it down every day, getting away from himself. Some day he won't stop and he'll cause a terrible accident!
Slightly off balanced drunk. Fuckin hell, perfect. Used to drink a fuck tonne as a kid and I got a fairly large tolerance(not now, 2 beers and I'm done) But I'd be sitting there downing a box of bourbons and be fine, chatting away, not feeling particularly hammered. It's when ya decide to go home you feel it. I'd get up say my goodbyes starr walking, everything is fine, don't feel dizzy or anything and then after a few minutes I can feel my body pulling me off the fuckin sidewalk and it kicks off, for the fuckin life of me I can't keep my fuckin balance and I'm teetering back and forth as I walk. Annoying as shit cause my head feels fine like I've barely drunk at all but my bodies telling me that it might be time to sleep it off 😂😂

This joke is gold
And never a script
Totally agree 💯❤❤
How many a man would just like to sit down and have a talk with billy about life. Must be millions ❤️🧐
That's why he did live shows, so he wouldn't have to do that.

Been to two of hie shows ,just second to none ,brilliant comic.

Sublime, epic, superb & lots of other plusses! :)
