I had long forgotten about this clip, but because I am a huge fan of Alanis, Dame Edna, and Daddy Graham- it was some sort of repressed memory for a time. RIP Dame Edna 🌹
Alanis had the best zinger when she said, "Why stop now?" It's true that Edna took over the interview and the wedding portions, but I'm glad she did because no one could've made those two scenes as funny as she does.
Not really, maybe that Canadian thing which was seemed to be genuine error from dame who thought she was american. It doesn't mean anything anyways since she is the typical clichéd North American celebrity here
I thought the interaction between Alanis and Edna worked well, after all the main objective was to entertain the audience and both succeeded to that end, Alanis did well as she had absolutely no idea where Edna was taking her, and Graham was wondering how to get his show back, but he also knew it made for good television.
@@Me-hs4jj Yes ok i agree ! And i think Graham got better and better as his show went on; more comfy in his own shoes. He's such a good interviewer, very sharp on nuances. ☕️🌱🧡
Notice how Barry takes her hands and squeezes them just after she corrects him like he’s apologising and praising her at the same time for the quick retort.
Lol no she didn’t Edna obviously said that as a joke. Barry does his research, probably had a joke lined up to follow that but stupid Alanis didn’t want to go along with it. Some people just don’t ‘get’ Edna
Dane Edna gave away her gender and correct upbringing by springing to her feet when Alinas appeared outdoing the other male there by several seconds. She is exceptional in every way
I don’t think Alanis got the whole “look up, look down, or even over your shoulder” humor as a reference to sexual positions… but they played great off of each other and it made for HILARIOUS tv.
@@MAXDEVVING she isn’t, but as an American, catching dry humor in the moment can catch one off guard. I’m sure after ruminated on it, or watched the segment back, she got it. Never called her stupid, she plays like 4 instruments and is a brilliant song writer.
When Mark is looking over you, and you begin to celebrate the intimacy of your new marriage, I want you to look over your shoulder and make eye contact with him, if only briefly.
Oh dear, I think she's one of 'those' types. Morrissette didn't get it and wasn't playing along, if this went on much longer, I think things might have gone south, you can't can't beat the Dame.
Like many Floridians, Dame Edna would say "little Ronny is certainly making his mark....and his wife is doing all the cleaning...too bad it's a skid mark..."
Humour is now about sex and humiliation. Dame Edna managed to make fun of herself and others, getting away with outrageously funny plugs at her interviewers. Always entertaining. Always surprising. What a loss!
It's sad that Alanis was the only person who treated this mystery guest of the street nice. It said alot about Alanis that she's a lovely person. Why Graham put that woman on a chair to insult her I'll never know?
Ahem... I've often wondered if Barry Humphreys really knew who he was.? For Robbin Williams often looked so lost. As with great comedians do suffer great pain an inner turmoil... I've therefore often wondered...???

Ahh, it's a battle of the power trippers. Alanis (is that how you spell it from a newspaper?) felt the need to have control. She's a performer and demands attention. She's even a celebrant, it's her approval and signature or nothing. You oughta know Dame Edna. She had her summed up from the get go, and naturally, played off it. Hilarious!
What video did you watch?? She just found the Great Dame charming and not intimidating as most celebrities do, and everything else was in jest. Get over yourself with this reaching 🤣 She played along with the "I became a megastar" thing so she clearly knew the conceit of Dame Edna. She just had no problem maintaining eye contact while accepting the Dame's ribbing, and even managed a couple of potshots herself, again all in jest. She did great and everyone came across really well you negative nelly 🤣
Dame Edna didn’t seem to be too aware of her either assuming she was American lol But as much as I love Alanis as a singer, I did also find her quips unnecessary. Even tho the Dame did also push it by constantly pushing her CD jocosely. We get it, artists only go to these shows to push their work, pointing that out once would have been enough tho. Pushing on with the joke made it uncomfortable and also unnecessary. That’s what triggered Alanis to begin with. It was all and all uncomfortable to watch, and both of them established the dynamic. Edna started it and Alanis ended it. Moving on.
@@WhoWho569 Aye you should move on! as what you are saying is a load of shite! this is just banter between them both nothing more and if you uncomfortable with it then that’s your problem because you don’t understand what banter is. You sound like a child saying Edna started it lol this is his job he’s a comedian watch the video again he had the last comeback.
@@philbecker4676 oh dear, did I spoil all the fun for you? Perhaps you should face your own misery first, so you don't get triggered all the time when people just share their opinion.
Religion per se is a much a law unto itself...For whatever in any unconscious moment, all they can do is to pass laws. For in society whether its in marriage or in politics. Law is a poor substitute for Consciousness. For when Consciousness is Lacking... As there is nothing else to give. Except in giving more laws... This unfortunately this is our Banality to the World. Hah. This is our only cross to bear, in real life. Hahaa... Eish.
Hope daft Alanis realises by now who she was dealing with at that time. Dame Edna is an icon. Glad the Dame didn’t stoop down to her level and bit her head off.
Hold on, Edna would subtly roast people and Alanis, to be fair, was only giving back. Not only that, she was quite witty herself. Nothing wrong with taking the medicine but dishing a little in return.
Yes, absolutely. If you are from Australia or from UK, you would understand why. We all see the late Dame Edna as well loved and respected Icon, Royalty, Diva, comic genius.
Isn't it Ironic that Alanis summed up His/Dame career with "why stop know". He did go a'bit overboard stealing away attention from other's, in His/Dame cruelty.
Technically, Canada and Mexico are both North American. But in Canada -- and also I believe in the UK -- "American" always refers to products and people of the USA.
I would say Dame Edna was a steam roller. Alanis was introduced but Dame Edna did all the talking. She then said Alanis was Canadian. Who's making a fool of themselves. Alanis held her own and didn't let Dame Edna control EVERYTHING. But then again she's a comedian, or rather, he is, and making a fool of yourself is the name of the game.
RIP to the Great Barry Humphries . He is and will be rightly remembered as A ALL TIME GREAT . snorton is a wafer weak half celeb fake chat show talker .
RIP Barry Humphries (February 17, 1934 - April 22, 2023), aged 89
You will always be remembered as a legend.
Edna took over the interview and Graham Norton just lets her go perfect
Barry Humphries is superb ... I love his ability to adlib and cope with anything, comedy genius.
Very very funny!! Not many can take a verbal bullet from our Dame- and return just as well... Alanis was so great- very funny tv! 👍👍👍
"You've got a one track mind... no wonder that song is called underneath!"
4:10 LOOOL
She’s so Canadian 🇨🇦 love her
The Dame has taken over the show!
"you've got a one track mind, no wonder that song is called underneath" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 RIP the greatest Dame of all!
My heart is broken 😭 farewell Dame Edna thanks for the laughs❤
I had long forgotten about this clip, but because I am a huge fan of Alanis, Dame Edna, and Daddy Graham- it was some sort of repressed memory for a time. RIP Dame Edna 🌹
Daddy Graham? Eww.
He's so young here. And Alanis is radiant as always and SOOOOO Canadian!
What a great comedian😂😂😂 All the best Dame Edna.
Or even glance over your shoulder had me 😂
R.I.P Barry Humphreys a real comic genius who gave us the magnificent Dame Edna and Sir Les Patterson will never be another like him 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😞😞😞😞😞😥😥😥😥

No Alanis is just too stupid and up herself to realise what the character of Edna is
@@Seánybruv No, you're just too miserable to understand everyone was having good natured banter.
Dame Edna hijacks every show she has ever been on, just one of the reasons I love her
It’s well known, if she’s on the show, she will run the show possums 💋
Rip 😢
It’s not the death of one wonderful person it’s the death of a complete family of Australian entertainers
They all will be missed
So right, well said
alanis certainly was quick at hitting back with some excellent comments to edna which you do not often see.
Not really, maybe that Canadian thing which was seemed to be genuine error from dame who thought she was american. It doesn't mean anything anyways since she is the typical clichéd North American celebrity here
Alanis is no match for dame to be clear
They were a magnificent double act. Both were superb.
Never thought I'd see Dame Edna upstaged by ANYONE. Alanis I'm impressed!
Barry Humphries is a genius...
Which one is Barry Humphries? Tq
@@shirleycameron7718 Dame Edna
I have to agree. None of this was scripted, but it Edma doesn't need a script to be funnier than one.
RIP Barry The worlds a poorer place without you.
Never thought I’d seen Alanis and Dame Edna aside, this was such a laugh ❤
I thought the interaction between Alanis and Edna worked well, after all the main objective was to entertain the audience and both succeeded to that end, Alanis did well as she had absolutely no idea where Edna was taking her, and Graham was wondering how to get his show back, but he also knew it made for good television.
Can you imagine Jimmy Fallon trying to make this group work? Nope. He would have ruined it from the start.
It would have been nice if she hadn't kept interrupter her mid-joke. It's so rude.
Tru dat
Dame Edna was always superbly hilarious!
Barry slowly, but surely takes over the show ! Loved Alanis & Graham. 👍🤣💥
Don’t be afraid of calling him (or ‘her’) by the character name. If ‘Barry’ had been sat in that sofa it would’ve been a totally different interview.
@@Me-hs4jj Yes ok i agree ! And i think Graham got better and better as his show went on; more comfy in his own shoes. He's such a good interviewer, very sharp on nuances. ☕️🌱🧡
No I'm Canadian. Dame Edna for the first time in living memory had no response.
It was a pretty bad mistake from Humphries. No comeback from that one.
Yeah... That could have had amazing comebacks.
Notice how Barry takes her hands and squeezes them just after she corrects him like he’s apologising and praising her at the same time for the quick retort.
There definitely are responses to thet but it happens. To be honest there's nothing impressive about that not sure what is there to be gaga about Lol
Graham Norton is brilliant. just let's it run. that's top class tv.
Graham Norton, when Dame Edna is a guest then you relinquish all control to her, back off, keep quiet and enjoy the magic
...and he did. Best chat show host alive.
Edna once said her shows were actually a monologue interrupted by total strangers
edna taking over like he always did, alanis getting a quality zinger in with impeccable timing.
Rest in peace 🕊️🙏 Dame Edna 😢
Seeing this makes me wonder if Robin Williams took inspiration for Mrs Doubtfire from Humphries' Dame Edna...🤔
Good idea,I see the inspiration!
My favorite singer and all time favorite megastar/comedian/socialite
As a huge Alanis fan and as an Australian who reveres the Dame I'd love a photo with my wife and them both baaaad
R.I.P Dame Edna/ Barry Humphreys.
Gone forever that kind of intelligent humour
Alanis was great!!!
Edna slayed!!!
Alanis threw Edna off her stride with the “I’m Canadian” response. You don’t see that too often.
Lol no she didn’t Edna obviously said that as a joke. Barry does his research, probably had a joke lined up to follow that but stupid Alanis didn’t want to go along with it. Some people just don’t ‘get’ Edna
@@Seánybruv You really have a problem with Alanis Morissette. Did a fan of hers break your heart in the 90s?
@@Seánybruv Nah I have seen Dame Edna do that joke before, she/he genuinely thought Alanis was American. It was a faux pas and it’s okay, it happens.
@@WhoWho569 I agree. Madge probably did the research on that one and the Dame was probably thinking of a suitable punishment!
It happens... this Alanis got roasted anyways later in the show
That was fun! I wish there was more to watch!

Graham was worried Edna will interview Alanis
Whatever happened to Cecilia?
Why stop now! Genius, love A.M.
Dame Edna show....
She took it like a trooper alanis half the time the yanks didn't understand dame edna
Where's Sir Les, the cultural attache when one needs him?
4:13 ..and "ze internet" says Alanis M don't know Dame Edna (pfth!)
Alanis is a very nice person!
This show used to be so fun.
I hope you were 'so fun' at one point in your life. I guess not even at 'one point'. Just lighten up!
we will miss you forever

Wow. Alanis was completely clueless about who Dame Edna was and that she was only asked to take a _picture,_ not try to marry them.
You're the clueless one mate, she just wasn't intimidated by Dame Edna and she was only being charming and jokey with the marriage thing.
That was a lame joke to be honest by Alanis so not sure what exactly did you interpret from that. Moreover dame gave her a fitting reply
Cute fella.
