Exactly. I'm sorry l only came across him this week. He was very talented. I don't normally follow stand up comedy but l just can't get enough of him. Makes my day. I love his sense of humour and his accent. I'm an Aussie. I'd pay to see him. I know he's past now but his memories are with us forever. I've actually shared a few with my kids. RIP Bernard. You're a legend. Thanks for the memories.
One of the best of his day and there was quite a few...we were blessed for music and comedy in times that were much harder than today’s cotton wool society.
That bloody woman, can't tell a harmless joke just keeping silent when she knew of the child abuse at the bbc was ok because the public didn't know.. Should be ashamed.
Bernard Manning was an incredible comedian...one of the best. Rantzen is a nobody who really doesn't understand humour. Rantzen supports Childline....BUT worked with Savile. I actually cannot stand that woman.
I would think it would be funny to watch her drinking tea or soup with those teeth. How big is your tooth brush Ester, do you keep it by your teeth too?
Did we just see Cyril Smith too, another mate of Ester.......................It all comes out in the wash. Bernard was the arc angel compared to the previously mentioned lol
This programme was at the peak of PC hysteria and as such is an amusing reflection of 1990s neuroticism. Thankfully You Tube arrived to reflect the spectrum of human thought and opinion. A very very funny man.
@Emily Bishop So what? Lots of people had very nice things to say about Dr Harold Shipman. Are you going to imply anything from that? If you really want to hint at things, and I do notice that you are not quite brave enough to say what you mean, what would you say about the Queen giving Sir Jimmy Saville a knighthood?
@@Genekellystand I think in that case he was doing his job and might have even been a way of coping with the situation. He said later of his wife's death that he wouldn't wish grief on his worst enemy.
One of the best and funniest all time comedians I ever saw. Bernard made people laugh at a time when they probably needed it most. Things have obviously changed now,hence the reason you cannot start a joke these days without looking over your shoulder first. RIP big fella.
I'm glad I watched these vids. They gave me a good honest insight into who B M was. I used to take it to heart in the 70s as a young black guy, and loads of racists saw this as an opportunity to offload their hatred. But now, I don't believe in any way that B M was racist. There's absolutely no doubt that he was funny. He was very funny, and quick with it too. When I look at his charitable works and generosity then that's enough to speak in his favour.
steve randall he comes across as very genuine, loyal and homely. I don't believe he was a racist either, I just think he beloved that as long as it was funny then it should be taken as a joke. You can tell the way he comes across off screen and audio how his family comes across. It's a shame it's so PC now. Esther ranson set up child line because she felt guilty about turning a blind eye to child abuse, she kept quiet to further her own career.
I left the british army and worked as a bouncer for year's, my colleague's were black, muslim, Australian, we had each other's back and always had banter and piss take. Offence is never given, it's a personal decision to take offence.
what i hate is singling out black people in an audience-and you can see that them laughing isn't genuine.went to a similar thing and was so embarrassed.i'm black
It seemed very obvious to me that Bernard was a comic and didn't particularly dislike anyone, he liked most people and and disliked others just like everyone else, and now brings to the fore what are considered taboo subjects and makes light of them, I love him for that.
A legendary entertainer😀😀😀 we need Bernard now in this crazy PC woke world we live in !! Like the great man said , it’s a joke !!! RIP Bernard a man with a heart as big as himself !!!
3:40 Esther Rantzen is completely wrong. She has no idea what shes talking about. Humour breaks down prejudice and unifies people. If Rantzen was right, then you would have heard jokes at the Nuremberg Rallies She is so pompous and holier-than-thou it makes me sick. We all know the REAL reason she ran Childline.
Yes Brand is fucking awful. However she's a doyenne of the BBC like the majority of the politically correct so called comics who have been flogging the dead horse for years.
The use of the swear words here and there really do emphasize and make the joke that bit more real and funny...And I am generally not a fan of swearing to try get laughs, but with Manning he pulls it off every time. He makes it work. And Bernard explains why the swear words are necessary for some of his gags....
This shows just how wrong you can be about people without knowing them. Manning is a warm kind pleasant man here he was almost in tears with grief when talking about bereavement and his wife. Really nice bloke to listen to here.. How wrong I was in the nineties in thinking he was a rascist but that interview where he said it on mrs merton was a massive mistake but we all make them. A lovely man here no question about it.
Ok, and at the same time, sometimes a joke can be funny in the moment because the punchline causes a neurological shift, which provokes laughter, but the underlying presuppositions on which the joke depends can leave an unpleasant taste in your mouth.
Spot on Bernard regarding dont hit me again, and if your black again again and again officer, he was ripping the arse out of the police, does anyone think if George Floyd was white he would have had a knee on his throat for 8 minutes. Im a scouser and he give it to us every time he was on stage, we just laugh.
.Mr manning was a fantastic comedian. He was a real comedian who knew how to get people laughing . Not like today's one's who would bore you to death. A true British hero.
I can't leave this without recounting my favourite Jewish joke. Two Jews are walking along the road and stop outside a church to read a sign that says, convert today and get £1,000.. Solly says to Hymie, I have to go in and investigate this and he goes into the church. One hour later, Solly comes out and Hymie says, what happened? Solly says, I've converted to Christianity. Hymie says, well, did they give you £1,000 and Solly says, money! that's all you Jews think about?
Them black ladies laughing are absolute legends who realise it’s a joke and that freedom of speech is essential and is the opposite of The cultural Marxism we see today which I’m sure they would massively oppose
My father was quite a well known singer in the club land of the 70s and 80s and I met Bernard as a kid of about 10 /11 he was a very decent bloke and I find it unfortunate that Cyril Smith and Stuart hall are part of this little tribute. Hey if we'd only known then......some did
People are stupid. Bernard always said they were only jokes, don't take them seriously. Same as people like Frankie Boyle nowadays, he stopped one of his shows to say "now don't worry, these are only jokes being told at a comedy show, none of it means anything!"
My take on humour is that it strips away the taboo on any subject, and forces it into the light. Nothing, and I do mean NOTHING should be so sacrosanct that it can't be the subject of humour. A great example would be Chris Brass's Brass Eye mockumentary on paedophiles; it addressed the hysteria that surrounds the subject matter without belittling the seriousness of it. There's also a distinct line between taking the piss out of someone, and belittling them. I'm a white man with a black fiancee, and neither of is shy about cracking a joke about our respective racial stereotypes. You can always 'choose' to be offended, but you're missing the point entirely.
I've been in similar situations; the intent is also a big part of it. If you're close to each other you can make jokes - like banter at work - about things that you wouldn't accept from people you aren't already close to.
Anyone with a objective mind should be able to see that he was a gag king. Anything for a laugh that doesn’t mean to say his morals and values reflect his comedy. He was right he was born and brought up in a far less political correct society than we have today. Is he a bad man? no he was making a living and hearing those close to him all speak highly of his generosity to those he cared for. I don’t think he meant any of his gags they were a revenue stream that’s it!
The jokes aren't based on, 'hate.' Humour is a great leveller in that no-one is above having the piss taken out of them. It's far better that people have the humility to laugh at themselves, as well as everyone else, than to have, 'untouchables', who are regarded as above such things. It creates division within society, whereas accepting that having the piss taken the same as everyone else makes us truly equal.
Bernard was so great in his answers to her even Parkinson was laughing Thanks Bernard I get low at times but I google him and the laughter keeps me going my late husband loved him too thanks Bernard and don’t forget when you laugh it is good for the lungs
Looking at all these comments MR Manning would be delighted that his fans are still laughing and still united in humor . I had the pleasure of seeing MR Manning in the Isle of Man at the Villa Marina 1988 and he literally brought the house down , We missed the next 4 jokes laughing ourselves silly at the first 1st joke …..To this day his humor is still misunderstood and as his son rightfully stated , it's an act . MR Manning made fun of everyone , none more than himself .God Bless you MR Manning .PS , Fuck Off Esther R .

Well said pal!
Amen too that brother.
Hey Waka ... you've left the "N" out of your name ...!!
Bernard would be turning in his grave now at the state of society and how we’ve lost our sense of humour
Oh no we haven't..😂😂
When allow us over 50 are gone maybe that'll be true...
Little did we know that Esther would be involved to a certain extent with the Jimmy Saville keep quiet club.
Speaking of nonces 5:32

And Manning with Smith

Now then
Now then....
If she worked with Saville she knew damn well what he was.
Spot the other peados in this video
One of the best? THEE BEST
I never knew Bernard was responsible for the Rwandan genocide, well every day is a school day.
It must be a barrel of laughs in Rantzens house
I would think it would be funny to watch her drinking tea or soup with those teeth. How big is your tooth brush Ester, do you keep it by your teeth too?
I feel sorry for the horse she stole those teeth from.
Po faced and self- righteous too.
She's actually trying _not_ to laugh.
Because it's _funny_

And Stewart hall another friend of Jimmy's club
She was good pal of saville to
He's my favourite comedian hands down.
And mine
The best “working mens’ “ comedian this Country’s ever had. He will never be allowed to return.
Ranzten is a supersilous pratt. I challenge her to name one country, one continent, one race that does not have jokes based on race.
Now its the UK
well stated!!
Also a sanctimonious prat .
If you ever feel down just whatch a Bernard manning video you will soon forget all you're troubles rest in peace Bernard
We need more like bernard nowadays
esther heard the jimmy saville rumours at the bbc but "it was classier to ignore it"
You can really see the genuine man in that moment after talking about his wife. There is a good heart beneath the act.
A fantastic entertainer, missed by thousands. RIP.
I'm Irish 🇨🇮 and love Bernard
My first wife was black... SHE ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE GUV'NOR..❤❤
Love Bernard Manning. Sadly missed by many. 🙏

Humour breaks down the racist barriers as does business, the politicians put up the barriers.
The irony of Rantzen commenting about vulnerable children
Ester Rancid slags him off while laughing in his presence, total hypercrite
Oh dear, Stuart Hall and Cyril Smith.
I rest my case a bigots paradise and a hush culture that is only now being shown for the crime it was and is.

“Nothing can be loved or hated unless it first understood.” ― Leonardo da Vinci.
Rantzen remembered for her teeth and Saville. Bernard - for making millions of people laugh and feel good. Joe Brand is pathetic.
Yes Brand is fucking awful. However she's a doyenne of the BBC like the majority of the politically correct so called comics who have been flogging the dead horse for years.
3:28 Esther "PC" Rantzen suppressing a fit of the giggles at Manning's "spot on a domino" joke.
Bernard watching Jo Brand - probably thinking like the rest of us that she is as funny as a burning orphanage.
A brilliant comedian who gave his all.
I do miss this kind of comedy and knowing that it will never come back again very sad

Ok, and at the same time, sometimes a joke can be funny in the moment because the punchline causes a neurological shift, which provokes laughter, but the underlying presuppositions on which the joke depends can leave an unpleasant taste in your mouth.
I actually find Bernard Manning to be one of the funniest and least offensive comedians ever
Imagine having a show about you where Stuart Hall and Cyril Smith are speaking up for you. Poor old Bernard can't catch a break.
Never take a joke seriously......now there's good advice!
Spot on Bernard regarding dont hit me again, and if your black again again and again officer, he was ripping the arse out of the police, does anyone think if George Floyd was white he would have had a knee on his throat for 8 minutes.

“I don't know what's worse: to not know what you are and be happy, or to become what you've always wanted to be,and feel alone.”
Worked with Bernard many times and just a brilliant man
Ward Nine was he in hospital?
Bernard Manchester through and through totally brilliant man and very very clever man, as mrs Merton found out, he found her out with her pc bollocks
Shame Jimmy Saville never made Rantzen look the fool, given how she holds a grudge, she could have saved a fair few kids.
Bernard manning was the best comedian ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't give a fuck! he makes me laugh
