- Reaction To Billy Connolly on Australian Wildlife
This is my reaction to Billy Connolly on Australian Wildlife
In this video I react to comedy about Australia by reacting to Scottish comedian Billy Connolly and his funny comedy sketch about Australia and Australian Wildlife.
Original Video - • MY FAVOURITE FUNNY VID...

Of course, us Aussies love Billy, he takes the piss out of himself, us and our wildlife too, that's a form of endearment in my Aussie eyes lol.
Love Billy but seriously you do need to have some Kowledge and caution about some creatures.
Australia loves Billy and this has made me laugh for decades.
He has spent many years traveling to Australia because his wife Pamela Stevenson is Australian. She has been a member of a couple of English comedy groups and she is a prolific writer!!
Panels is actually a new zealander
@@rebeccabennett8188she may have been born in New Zealand but she grew up in Australia since she was 4 years old and considers herself as a Australian
Agreed Mate !!
Australians like the Scottish and Irish because they are just as crazy as us but with funny accents.
more like we got our humour from the Irish and scottish ancestors lol.
Totally agree
Every Aussie who grew up in the 80's & 90's has seen this skit !!
Billy toured here many, many times and is probably the most famous 🏴 Scot in Australia.
He is absolutely beloved by Australians and this very old video of him is iconic and sold millions of VHS Tapes, every Dad got a copy for Father's Day 👍😁
Saw Billy many years ago in Melbourne. He had us crying with laughter and sliding off our seats. But almost the funnier thing was our friend who was with us and who didn’t laugh once, when asked if he didn’t find Billy funny said, “I didn’t understand a word that he said”. That set us off all over again.
😂🤣😂
Billy loves Australia so much he married one. Absolutely love his comedy. One of the world's greatest.
Oh yeah! I forgot he married Pamela Stephenson 👍🇦🇺
Pamela Stephenson is a Kiwi.
@@PurpleUnicorn212 yes, she was born in New Zealand but moved to Australia with her family when she was four years old.
So naturally she is ours, I mean Billy's, now. 😅
Even though she is a Kiwi..like those other well known Aussies.. John Clarke, Sam Neil, Russell Crowe, Rebecca Gibney... 😂
Billy makes me smile even when he's not saying or doing anything.
We live in Sydney. My girlfriend (now wife) and I first heard of Billy in the late seventies. We rented a video of his live performances. The video went for about an hour. It took us at least three hours to watch because a) we couldn't understand what he was saying because of the outrageous accent ; and b) once we did understand what he was saying we had to pause or rewind the tape as we were rolling about in hysterics. We've been devoted fans ever since. Him marrying an Australian beauty was the icing on the cake.
Actually his wife is from New Zealand.
@@secondchance6603 Yes, I know; But we claimed Russel Crowe and SVG. We're allowed to share, aren't we?
@@peterkensey6728 Oh absolutely.
@@peterkensey6728 Nobody I know claimed Russell Crowe, but we we're keen to claim Crowded House and Dragon.
Billy is the BEST!!! There's no comedian better in my view. The Master of Comedy! Billy has done many shows about Australia. As part of his World Tour's video series, he did a World Tour of Australia. Absolutely brilliant!!!🇦🇺🏴
Billy Connolly is adored in Australia. his humour is SUPERB
This is my favourite comedy routine of all time. It was for comic relief and I had the cassette tape of the concert with him doing this one. My friends and I would listen to it all the time during our high school years in the mid-late 80’s. We would hire VHS tapes of his performances and watch them as well.
Finally got to see him live in the 90’s.
A couple of years later I was living in Kings Cross in Sydney and I ran into him in the street. Lovely fellow with a real curiosity about the world.
Australians and Scots look at the world in very similar ways and use about the same amount of swearing in casual conversation, so Billy’s style of comedy always went down well in Australia (and NZ). These were the first countries outside of the British Isles to take to his humour.
Love Billy, he is very well known in Oz. I have seen him live on multiple occasions & he never disappoints. He is a great story teller with a natural talent to entertain people. He IS the best comedian/story teller ever.
Love Billy. I lived in Townsville for 20 years and saw him live when he was filming his world tour of Australia, i was so sore from laughing by the end.
Grew up in Townsville and love him. 😂
I've got that DVD, I bloody love it 👍🇦🇺
I've been listening to and watching Billy Connolly for 40 years and absolutely love him. My parents started me on his records when I was a kid.
Me too ‘Hand picked, by Billy Connelly’ 😂😂 picking his nose on the front cover, inspecting prize on the back cover.
Billy’s wife is an aussy. He spent a lot of time here, especially in the late 90’s early 00’s. I saw him live probably 6 times. He was the first live show I ever saw. He is still a household name and really loved.
Snap
A year before I emigrated to Australia, I met Billy in a shop promoting his first LP, the Crucifixion. He gladly signed it for me which I still have to this day.
I have been to many concerts that Billy has done in Oz, the last one he told people if you have a babysitter it's time to go. For the others he said keep sitting and enjoy as I'm not going anywhere. Needless to say I stayed and missed my last train home. The man is comedy genius and we miss not seeing him live in concert.
Thanks for all the laughs big yin 😂👍
Billy is loved in Australia. His "World tour of Australia" where he rides a Harley across the country is brilliant. Watching him dance naked under a full moon at the Pinnacles here in my home state of Western Australia is still funny today.
I have that DVD & I bloody love it
Billy is fantastic, and he starts his shows with something like "if you don't like my swearing, f*k off now!"
Nice One.He is a Comedic Genius.And all those creatures are true.
I’ve been listening to billy since I was a teenager and I’m mid 60s lol
Same! 😁
Yes, I'm from Australia, and love his comedy. We grow up with these signs and know what to look for, so it's interesting to hear what a visitor's reactions are.
I was shocked when my Nanna told me that she loved Billy Connelly. I couldn't understand because she hated people swearing. She said she liked him because he is so clever and funny that she didn't even notice his swearing.
Billy's brilliant, loved his Scottish stories about doing his time at the shipyards way back when.
His Australian documentaries were timeless, saw him live a couple of times, there's just no one like him.
Billy is an Honorary Australian. Once I was stung by a Blue Bottle jelly fish at the beach and a lady came running up to me and poured are jar of pickled onions over the sting 😅
Everyone loves Billy! One of the funniest people ever.
I wonder how the great man is doing now. We miss, please 🙏 take care as we love you ❤
can't say I've seen that, my eyes a watering from laughing so hard, he's 1 of best comedians ever, not just from Scotland
Lots of love for Billy’s humour in Australia. Travelling through Scotland right at the moment and loving that too !
Could not agree more, keep up the good work all the best from the island down under.
Billy's (2nd) wife is Pamela Stephenson. She was born in New Zealand 1949, family then moved to Australia in 1953.
Omg so what. Lived her entire life since she was 4 and calls herself australian. Again kiwi little brother syndrome.
I love Billy Connolly’s colonoscopy skit, the old lady on a bus skit, so many actually.
Hi from Townsville 👋. We love Billy, and love to hear his take on Australia. We don't have blue ringed octopus or funnel Web spiders up here, but we do have huntsman spiders, bird eating spiders and salt water crocodiles. Billy is right, if you don't bother them, they won't bother you 😅😅😅
I was blessed to see Billy perform in Kaitaia, NZ. He had been pulled for speeding on his trike that day. the cop who ticketed him was in the audience, Billy spotted him... It was well beyond ruthless. I went with some colleagues from work and we could barely move the next day, we were in so much pain from laughing. He was on stage and never missed a beat for four hours, absolute legend!
After growing up in Scotland where he is such an icon and moving to Australia in the 80s, I was lucky enough to see Billy live in Canberra in the late 90s with my wife and a group of workmates and their partners. Knowing I was Scottish by birth, they were still coming to me days afterwards saying that their cheeks and ribs were still sore from laughing so much. He is and always be the best comedian of all time to me. Hats off tae ye Billy fer yer far and awa’ the best! 🏴🇦🇺😂🤣
Used to live in a beachside suburb...(Yes...lots of funnelwebs).... Billy was a neighbour of mine. A wonderful human being. 🇦🇺💖🏴
Love Billy's storytelling and sense of the ridiculous 😊 BTW, the bush and the desert aren't exactly the same thing. 'The bush' usually refers to grasslands with eucalyptus trees. Even in the centre of Australia (informally known as the Red Centre) there are eucalyptus trees and bushes, and they do get substantial rain occasionally (check out vids of Uluru during a downpour) so it's not all a true desert.
I reckon if we had the will (or any country for that matter) we could green the desert. It's being done everywhere. I guess there's just not the overwhelming necessity yet 🤔🤷♂️.
@@riverland22 everyone says there's nothing in the desert. Not true. To our European aesthetic there's nothing but to traditional owners it's a supermarket that never closes. It has supported the oldest continuous culture for 10s of thousands of years, providing food and shelter to those who are the true custodians of the land. I loved the camping trips I did in the outback. If you green it, you destroy it.
@waynedwyer6509 well true, I know what you mean. The Aborigines had a shop on every corner one might say. But the real deserts with nothing in them but sand could be improved I feel. I'd rather eat a peach than a grub or a moth 😏.
@@riverland22 as a non indigenous person I would not choose to eat those things either. But there are many bush tucker plants that do not grow anywhere other than their natural habitat. There is more than just food to consider. There must be other results that occur when the natural environment is altered. I am no scientist but this seems logical to me.
@@waynedwyer6509 If the population keeps exploding exponentially, I think it's going to be necessary to reclaim some desert where people can live comfortably rather than survive.
Kind folk who live across the road from beaches where marine stings may be incurred leave a bottle of vinegar on the porch, in case of emergency for beach goers.
A comedy god for mine. As an Australian I love this guys humour. I have seen him in Melbourne 5 times and would go again, anytime…sad his health precludes him from touring anymore but thanks Billy, and your lovely wife Pam (An Australian BTW) for years of laughs.
Gee I got a terrific laugh listening to Billy, he’s brilliant. He puts his heart, soul and every bit of energy into his performances. He must be exhausted at the end. I am - from laughing 😂👍
I have been lucky enough to see this wonderful man 3 times.
Billy Connolly has been adored by Aussies for decades. His humour, self deprecation and convoluted observations have pressed all the right buttons for most Aussies, and "taking the piss," out of someone or something, is exactly the kind of banter encountered between best mates in Australia! You should check out Carl Barron as well. Keep up the good work Jock!!
We love Billy Connolly, saw him on 2 different tours & had “face ache” from laughing. Best wishes from Adelaide; South Australia🦘🐨🇦🇺💐
Billy is just the best. Very lucky to see him perform in Sydney years ago in the 90's, my stomach was sooo sore from laughing so much. I love him to bits. So many of his 'truism's' come to mind just on a daily basis when you've seen a lot of his comedy. Love the skit about linoleum too. I made the grave mistake of reading one of his books on the way home on the train one day and trying not to laugh out loud . . . gawd it was torture! 😂🤣
I saw him doing that routine live in Australia, nineties. He was so funny my girlfriend wet herself laughing...
Spiders, Stingers, Snakes,Crocs,we even have a bird that will kill, only if you annoy it! 😂
I have seen him twice in Sydney at the Opera House. I love his humour, he absolutely kills me everytime. I always looks forward to his TV shows as well, he is a one-off. His wife is a New Zealand/Aussie and she used to be a great comedian too, she'd have to be lol. Billy finds the funny and disrespectfully hilarious side of any situation which appeals to us Aussies, he's just a funny bastard.
I saw Billy in Townsville. Funniest comedian I’ve ever seen. My sides ached and my face was sore from laughing so much and so hard 😂🤣😂
Yes i saw Billy in Melbourne many years ago he was brilliant he had the crowd hysterical with laughter i was amazed at his ability to start a story then digress off into unrelated tear blinding comedy then some 20 minutes later he'd drop back into his original story seamlessly and deliver the punch line, his timeing was unbelievable he's just the best comedian/story teller .
Billy is a rare treasure for sure.!
I'm bawling over his parkinsons...
There use to be plastic bottles of Vinigar along the beaches where the BeWere signs were, but you don't see them anymore.
Saw him in Newcastle many years ago and he was on stage for hours. One story he told was about a man in a bar with a monkey, at the end of it you’d swear you’d seen the monkey. Billy is that good, we’ve never laughed that much since. Billy also said that we live in paradise, he’s right.
Hey , I’m from Australia and yes we had the Billy Connelly shows on TV from his travels to different countries ❤
Naww, we love Billy and I think he thinks we’re ok too. ❤️ He married a New Zealand / Australian woman- Pamela Stephenson. I grew up on Sydney’s north shore (Sydney funnel-web capitol territory). We were taught to check shoes before putting them and to not leave clothes lying on the floor.
Grew up on Sydneys north side too (Hornsby) and yep those bloody funnel webs were everywhere.
@@JudeAussie hearing you. When Dad did the landscaping on our house at Killarney Heights, he commonly found about fifty per day. The term ‘Funnel - web capitol territory’ wasn’t of my design. I read it on a science paper, lol.
@@Laraine3 we had a bit of council bushland at the back of our place so the little f*ckers were everywhere. Like you, we knew to always check shoes and not toss clothes on the floor. Your Dad must have been on the lookout for them all the time. Lucky he didn’t get bitten.
@@JudeAussieahh, he was ex military and an ol’ bushy from way back. He used to drill us about safety. Your Dad was probably the same. I think a lot of them were like that in that generation.
I lived in Townsville and we used to take vinegar to the beach.
Had an encounter with a blue ring octopus in a rock pool when I was younger, they only glow the rings when they are angry and the one I met in (His!)pool was glowing like a spot light! I was outta there! I’ve never moved as fast as I did that day I tell you. Billy is an Aussie citizen, he’s a legend here in Oz and is loved by all Aussies. He also did a video series a few years ago riding his 3 wheeled motorbike around Australia! Was awesome series! You should definitely check it out. Oi oi oi! 😉☺️👍🇦🇺
We adopted Billy when he married Pamela who is Australian. I met him years ago in Bondi and he is salt of the earth lovely bloke.
I lived in Townsville 😂😂 that's true. ❤ Billy. ❤ your videos.
He is a true story teller! Awesome 😂😂😂😂😂
He is a world wide legend. I have had the privilege of seeing him at the Sydney Opera house many times.
Billy is very well loved down under he cracks any one up with his humor.
Seen him once here in Hobart and I kept missing the next stiry because I was still laughing at the previous story 😂😂. Brilliant amazing man 👌👏👏. Another brilliant comedian from Scotland I absolutely love is Craig Ferguson 👌
Only thing that fall out of tress in Australia are the drop bears. Plenty down in Victoria…
Billy is the greatest comedic story teller of all time. Leaves me in bloody stitches.
Billy is just brilliant, also a warm and genuine human being. Much loved down here.
I saw him in Melbourne around 40 years ago. Brilliant ❤
Saw Billy Connolly live in Melbourne many years ago. Funniest show I have ever been to. My face was cramping up!
Billy is a much loved legend here, we love him as much or more than the UK do. Mum and I saw him a few times over the years. Always funny. 😂 i knew every line before it came watching this back. Must have seen this on vhs/dvd/cd a million times.
in my opinion, billy is probably the greatest comedian ever, i have watched many many videos, sadly never seen in person, he is the genius goat,
We love him in Oz. Never have enough of his humour. 😂
I'm in Sydney, so I don't know about tropical jellyfish, but the current treatment for bluebottle jellyfish stings is hot water not vinegar.
Don't get treatment for stingers and octopuses confused! Bluebottles are very painful but not really harmful; blue ringed octopus bites are painless at first but can kill. A medical website says, "If you’re able to get intubated and put on a ventilator in time, it’s possible to survive the bite"!
We all love Billy Connolly. 🇦🇺👍
He’s probably the funniest man that I know of. There are a lot of golden nuggets on TH-cam but my favourite clip has to be ”Worst pain known to man”. I could hardly breathe from laughing myself senseless the first few times I watched it.
His stories of life on the scottish docks remain my fav. The greatest.
Billy is wonderful, love his work. Yes we relate to Billy …
Billy, you are the funniest man alive, no kidding.❤❤❤
His story about Ravishing Raquel or the drunk girl in the sleeping bag would be a couple of my favourites
When I was a kid I lived near the reptile park here in nsw, I lived on a bush block and after every rain I would go out and collect funnel webs to take to the park to be milked. They really aren’t to dangerous, they move fairly slow, so are easy to contain, compared to the lightning speed of a huntsman, which are harmless just freaky because of their speed and size, and tendency to hang out right above you in whatever room you are in.
I met him at Mardi Grass in Sydney. Have some good photos of him that day, he was hilarious in real life 😍
That's why we love him. Seen him several times on his tours here. We've officially adopted him.😂😂❤
❤ Come back to Townsville Billy! Its beautiful this time of year!😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
The Boosh. 🤣🤣🤣 Love Billy.
God he’s s funny man. I’ve seen him live five times. Every time I was a puddle of laughter. He’s such a wonderful human being. His wife (like myself) is Australian - and he’s been to Oz many times. He’s soooo funny about our um….. wildlife & his terror responses to them.
Thanks for that bud. I was in tears
My dad is English and when we watched this for the first time many years ago he laughed so much he fell off his chair
Billy is our favourite son downunder. And yes! The wildlife signs are stupidly silly and everywhere. lol.
I was listening to this sketch “A Dangerous Place” in December 1989.
Just then a M5.6 earthquake hit Newcastle NSW. The record scratch sound effect was real! 😅
One of the greatest.
Saw him 13 times down here between 1984 and 2015, and at some point at every single one of those shows - I was absolute rubble. His "prescription windscreen" story just about killed me. 🤣
I’m Australian.
Australia has a bad rap.
I’ve watched videos of families running in to mountain lion or a bear.
We have zero threats in the bush, apart from the poisonous snakes and spiders.
I can kill a spider with my shoe.
If I throw my shoe at a mountain lion that would just make it angry.
Australia is so safe..
1st time ive seen this one. I absolutely love it.
Absolutely perfect comedy and correct 💯👌
Billy is one of the best, mate.
Saw him at the Sydney Opera house back in the early nineties.
Laught so hard it was painful. I was still saw two days later.
Who hasn’t heard of Sir Billy Connolly? I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him perform live, twice
I’m in Townsville and laughing my ass off 😂😂
🏴 Absolutely brilliant 💯 Billy is one of the best comedians ever
As an old person I remember him well and he's freaking amazing. I think that he may have lived here for many years. He's married to a New Zealander who also lived here I think.
Haven't been to see him. But love him .
You really MUST view the video of when Billy met Pamela on Australian TV. The interaction was so funny. 🇦🇺
Seen Billy in Oz a few times, a very clever & funny man....this story i have heard him tell live :)
Oh God yes, seen him every time he's had a show here, he's the best, right up there with Robin Williams.
