My father loved Dave Allen, so I got to grow up watching him. He was brilliant!
His religious segments, especially Adam & Eve are all time greats.
as was dick emery
His routines on religion (especially the one just called "Religious Jokes") are good. The one called "Adam and Eve" is part of that compilation. He's Irish.
Dave died in 2005 at 68 years. This was shown on the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) in 1992-94 according to Wiki. Dave Allen was by far the most viewed stand-up comedian ever in the history of Television up to that point in time. Did you know that his first long term job was as a journalist. You should watch his Watch jokes (telling or teaching the time to a child)
Your curiosity is spectacular, I love the charm you bring to the new & old. Have a great 2024.
The whistles are attached to the life jackets. They're not to signal to rescue planes, they're mostly to signal to other survivors etc to help people get/stay together. Life-jackets are still a thing and usually under your seat. It might be the case that some aircraft that don't operate over large bodies of water don't need them (eg just doing US domestic flights). But every airliner I've been on has had them.
Dave Allen was Irish (born in Dublin) and I would guess the show was recorded mid 1990's as there are clips with the same set dated 1994. He died in 2005. If you look closely he is missing part of his index finger on his left hand. He never (as far as I know) revealed the actual reason he lost it and would come up with various reasons in his act. On Wikipedia the cause is down as he trapped it in a machine cog but as I say whether that was the real reason I don't know. Various reasons he gave were: One version was that his brother John had surprised him by snapping his jaw shut when they were children. A further explanation he gave on his programme, Dave Allen at Large, was that he often stuck his finger in his whiskey glass and it had been eaten away by strong drink. He also said it was worn away from repeatedly brushing the dust from his suit. One of his stand-up jokes was that, as a boy, he and his friends would go to see a cowboy movie at the local cinema, then come out ready to play Cowboys and Indians. Staring down at his truncated finger, he would mutter, "I had a sawn-off shotgun". On his show he told a long, elaborate ghost story, ending with "something evil" attacking him in a dark and haunted house. Allen grabbed and bit the attacker, the studio lights came back up, and it was his own left hand.
Cool that you are watching Dave. This Irish gentleman was so loved in Denmark in the 70's. He was a must see every week. Used to watch him him a lot of family members at my nans. A lot of bits on religion to shock and annoy my nan.. 😅
that bit with the whistle in the indian ocean is probably the best.
I remember his tv series that came on once a week after they started airing BBC programs here in the US. His show "Dave Allen At Large" was hilarious, he would tell stories and have skits too. He and Carlin were similar in many ways, they both loved to tell stories, (that's the Irish in them) and they had a similar style of comedy, especially religious jokes, you see, they were both atheists. They both started working in comedy about the same time, just in different countries. Carlin started as a comedy writer for shows in the 60's, and Allen started doing stand-up in the 60's. Dave's tv series started about 1971, he was always one of my favorites. There are tons of videos on TH-cam, the longer ones are better, because some of the skits are kind of connected, but some people have cut them up into 3 - 5 minutes, try to find the longer ones if you can. I remember watching him in the 70's, but the video you watched looks like it was made in the mid 90's. Anyway, loved the review, love you, take care and stay safe ❤️
George Carlin’s rant about airlines is hilarious.
I haven’t seen it yet!
Happy New year. My dads favourite. Dave Allen.
Funny, by the end of that I was thinking “I should send this to my dad”
Always makes me happy to see a new video from you in my notifications. Thank you for all the insightful, intelligent and entertaining reaction video's this year. Hope to see many more in 2024, happy new year!
Thanks for being here Steffen! Wishing you a Happy New Year (:
@@NoProtocolhappy new year:)
Do you have any socials?
His delivery is great. Have a happy New Year's! Looking forward to more great content in 2024. 😁
I've always loved his gag about how he lost the end of a finger.
Dave Allen had incredible timing and really knew how to pull a joke: He could make the pope blush.
My favourite Dave Allen sketch is “Teaching Kids How to Tell the Time”.
I used to love listening to this guy when I was a teenager still makes me chuckle now, he was an alternative comedian before the term was in vogue and was considered very controversial back in the day. Love his sketch on Adam and Eve I never tire of seeing it .
I see that plenty of others have given you lots of information and suggestions of Dave Allen material to react to so, all I'll say is; have a great New Year's Eve, and may 2024 bring you all that your heart desires. Take care and much love from the U.K. See you next year.
Thank you Adam, wishing the same for you!
Wishing you peace love and joy and blessings for the New Year. You are an amazing young lady
Wishing you the same Joe (: thanks for constantly supporting this year!
For Holmes, there's a novel called 'Dust and Shadow' by Lyndsay Faye, an American which is very good, tying him in with Jack the Ripper who seems as clever as he. The oddest I read was 'Exit Sherlock Holmes' which had a Sci-fi theme. A decent Victorian Detective novel was 'Necropolis' by (I think) Basil Copper. It dealt with the Victorian Necropolis Railway which ran out of London with corpses to be buried elsewhere. There's a good novel about The Ripper in the Old West called 'The English Monster' too.
Dave Allen's a master. Very popular when I was kid in the 80s in the UK.
100k subscribers!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!💯❤🤩🥳
They have the whistles incase the passengers want to have an impromptu rave! 😂
I think nowadays the whistles come integral with the life jacket as well as a flashing light.
I think it was 1993. It was the first of its kind he had it recorded and sold copies. Everyone said it was stupid, but he made a fortune. Yes, irish. But he lived in the uk for a long time . Once more unto the breach. Sir Arthur conan doyle is irish as well.
‘93, thanks for this info, Shane! I thought Arthur Conan Doyle was from Scotland
@NoProtocol irish family. Doyle. Is irish. They moved to Scotland. Then England . But Scots and irish are cousins. He was a medical doctor as well . There is a pub in Dublin. Arthur conan Doyles ..named in his honor
@@NoProtocol he is.. was born in Edinburg
2 things I enjoy on a flight that most people don't.....
1) Turbulence...it's like a giant massage chair
2) a crying baby. Brings back memories of when my kids were young. Puts me to sleep every time.
On the other hand, I don't like a screaming baby on flight...but that's usually a result of a panicked parent trying to stop a baby who's crying likely as a result of the air pressure and ears.
Funny story, was on a flight and a first time flyer was asking why you needed seatbelts for turbulence as the "Bump" would push you to your seat. The stewardess then explained that turbulence aren't "bumps" rather pockets of low pressure where the plane briefly looses altitude. That dude did not look very comforted with that information.
Love this channel. Hilarious, educational, & you’re easy on the eyes.
Appears to be from his 1993 tv series titled "Dave Allen," Episode 3, the channel posting the segment also has the full episodes, and yes he is Irish.
Happy New Year. Always enjoy your reactions.
Ahh that’s right you missed the whole 80’s MTV & VH1 POP UP VIDEO! We would have parties just centered around MTV 😂😂😂
You are amazing. I love your intelligent and incisive reaction and look forward to more. Have a remarkable New Year.
There's also a British boxer called Dave Allen. He's known for blocking punches with his head. 😁
😂
Pushing 100k! Happy New Year, NP!
Wishing you a great New Year! Thanks for always supporting (:
4:04. You're right. It's actually an ingenious idea - not actually making the passengers high, but maybe if they included an anti-anxiety drug in gaseous form, with the oxygen. That could help a lot.
PS: Pre-congratulations on 100k. You're sitting at 99.9 as I type...can only assume you'll hit 100k before end of year. Great channel. Great smile. Thanks for your time you put in helping educate and entertain.
Yeah, Dave was very Irish although he lived and performed in the UK for a long time.
I grew up watching him and, in the UK at least, he pretty much was the prototype raconteur stand up comedian. He also was super cool. For his TV show he used to sit, smoke and drink and tell funny stories. You should check out some of his sketches as well. He was particularly great at poking fun at religion.
Also, by all accounts, he was a decent man too.
The best thing about watching you reacting to a comedy video is that you smile more than usual. How do we reach your inbox? Because of your love of language, you would love the Finnish comedian Ismo, but unfortunately he seems to only have TH-cam Shorts. If you can find a longer clip, I'd love to see your reaction to him. Have a great 2024. As always, love ya.
If you want to check out some contemporary Irish music, may I recommend The Mary Wallopers? I saw them in Brighton last year, hell of a night. They caused a bit of a stir at Glastonbury, in the summer. Love what you do, keep it up, and please keep smiling.
The Mary Wallopers were just on Jools Holland’s Hootenanny New Year’s Eve show on BBC2.
How about an Irish literary and musical recommendation, in one? Roddy Doyle: The Commitments. Or, you could just try Irish guitarist, Gary Moore; Still Got The Blues, live version. It's worth the listen. Love your videos, btw.
It's amazing that every seat on a plane doesn't have an emergency parachute underneath it 😂
Ron White is a great story telling comedian, his airplane story is hilarious.
Not sure of the year but I'd reck,on mid- to late-80s maybe? And yes, Dave Allen was Irish.
Yes, the Carlin 'soft words' sketch I recall mainly due to his train of thought from 'shell shock' to 'Post Traumatic STress Syndrome', via one or two other, lengthening, softening expressions.
Have you read any of the modern Holmes books by James Lovegrove, they are pretty good.
For a song without lyrics, have a listen to eith YYZ or La Villa Strangiato, both by Rush.
Hey NP! No better way to start the end of the year than with a video from you. Thanks for all the knowledge and smiles throughout the 2023. Looking forward to more next year and wishing you nothing but success. Happy New Year!
P. S. Also, congrats on 100k, chances are you'll get there by the time I click "send" 😄
Happy New Year!
I wish you a happy new year as well!
Dave Allen was an Irish Comedian from the early to mid 1970s had a couple of TV shows, one had lots of skits. And he typical sat in a chair on stage and tell stories. He typically would have a cigarette and a glass of whiskey telling stories with jokes on them.
This video was way towards the end of his career, mid to late 1990s.
The whiskey was apple juice.
In the late 1970s I became a fan of Dave Allen on the BBC. He is still one of my favorite stand up comics.
Glad to have never gotten on a plane of any kind in my life. The stories we hear makes to drive no matter the distance.
Now that's a million dollar smile.
Dave Allen was Irish, he passed away a few years ago. I think this was from a show he did in the late 1990s. The thing about the instructions about floatation devices and life vests are usually only done on flights that go out over oceans or large seas, so I would imagine most flights that cross continents without needing to go near a sea or ocean may not give the demonstration for life vests
I grew up on Dave Allen's comedy in the 70s. He was indeed Irish and told wonderfully weird and funny jokes and stories on his show, "Dave Allen At Large". There was a documentary about him on TH-cam, called something like "God's own Atheist". If you can still find it, it is enjoyable.
Addendum: it's "God's Own Comedian". Still on YT, but the TH-cam gods will eat my comment alive if I dare put the link in here. Sorry for that.
I may have mentioned it before, but there are old school radio dramas under the name of "Brother Cadfael". They are basically audio book who-done-it mysteries set to a period drama. Such shows might meet your flying playlist criteria.
My ex-wife used to nurse Ellis Peters, the author of Brother Cadfael, when she became housebound, and attended her funeral, in the same 11th century Abby Church that Cadfael was set in.
I think Dave was popular in the 1970's.
Now the seat can be used as a floatation device. If I'm on a plane it ends up in the ocean, I'm fairly certain the seat will be used a toilet.
"it's not shell shock anymore: now it's PTSD," was one Carlin's examples.
Do you have a favorite Holmes story? I've read them all.
Billy Connolly has a couple of routines involving planes and is a great story teller. Dave Allen is Irish and had his own show on British tv in the 1970s and (I think)1980s. Enya is Irish and so are The Boomtown Rats (Bob Geldoff).
I’m a 74 year old Scot & still love Dave Allen,belly laugh’s definitely.
I recommend watching: Zoltan Kaszas - Can't Drive A Stick Shift.
I’ll write it down! Thank you (:
@@NoProtocol Don't mention it. :)
OMG, I would go to Sherlock Holmes also! And also, I think he is Irish. Good reaction!
Congrats in advance on 100k 👍
I remember this guy from when I was a kid, it was one of my dad's regular shows. I seem to remember that he always had a glass of something on the set and smoked like a chimney, the good old days, eh?
Happy New Year to you and your family young lady, you always do such an excellent and engaging job along with a very informative narration. Until now, I've never heard of Dave Allen and I may venture to guess that this clip was probably around 1990.
I remember watching Dave in the 70s , always great to watch
The Pogues are a British/Irish band, Fairytale of New York you might have heard around this time of year before. And yep he's Irish, originally from Dublin. Having a guess at when this was, I'd say somewhere mid to late 80's and early 90's.
dave allen ,the two ronnies, i love british comedy.
Saw a suggestion this was from his guest appearance on The Two Ronnies Xmas special 1982. It's certainly at least 30 years old.
He was an absolutely fantastic story teller. I don`t know how much you know about him, but he is definitely worth checking out. His routine on religion is so good, telling the experience from a little kids perspective. George Carlin and Dave Allen knew and admired eachother, they had a lot of the same subjects, although not adressing them the same way
Hey ❤happy new year 🎉
To you as well (:
I see at least 200K a year from now, Happy New Year🎉🎉
You're gonna hit a 100K very soon; congrats 🥳🥳🥳
Hopefully the rest of 2024 will be as succesful & positive too !
Happy New Year from New Zealand
Coincidentally, I read the complete works of Arthur Conan Doyle before I was 9 years old and I worked out that the key to solving Sherlock's cases is nearly always in the title. For instance, I started reading The Lion's Mane and immediately thought of a Lion's Mane Jellyfish, I was also interested in Marine Biology back then, and the poisonous jellyfish turned out to be the murder weapon. There's another Sherlock story called The Blanched Soldier and I had read somewhere that blanching of the skin is the first symptom of Leprosy and indeed Leprosy was the catalyst for everything that occured in the story. I think I solved 3 of the stories I read,, before Sherlock had, and started to think that he can't be that clever, if a little boy can solve the case. 😃
One great Irish band that you might wanna check is Thin Lizzy.
Your are correct he's irish or was. Irish gotta love them and their sense of humour.
I'd imagine this is from the mid seventies, that's when I remember his TV shows from anyway.
If you have only ever travelled by domestic airlines in the US or Canada whuch do not fly over large bodies of water like the Indian Ocean then it makes little sense for the Air crew to have demonstrations on how to put on a life jacket or be instructed when to blow a whistle. As Dave Allen lived mainly in Britain or Ireland where most air travel takes place at some part of the journey takes place over large bodies of water because one mostly uses Air travel to go to Europe or further but much less often to travel domestically as the distances to travel are usually so short and the road and rail transport is actually generally more convenient, cheaper and almost as quick if one considers the time spent getting to and from airports and the inevitable waiting times while there. But as Dave Allen was a renowned international entertainer he probably had a lot more experiences with international flights over large bodies of water than most people.
Two Irish guitarists both brilliant and underrated, Gary Moore, the messiah will come back is 10 minutes of pure brilliance an instrumental of sheer class. The second artist is Rory Gallagher apparently referred to by jimmi Hendrix as the best in the world, try bullfrog blues for a powerful performance from the four musicians. Great reactions, thank you from the uk
Congrats on the silver button, No Protocol (:
I think George Carlin also has a stand-up set about aviation and language.
Makes distinctions about people getting on the plane vs those getting in the plane. That sort of thing.
Dave Allen died in 2005 RIP.
My late Mum started watching him just after she brought me home from the maternity hospital in 1971.
Here is a Irish singer recomendation her name is katie o'flaherty.Her voice is angelic and she also streams on twitch. Her music in on youtube,spotify and other places.
I used to love watching Dave Allen when i was younger.
Also, another Irish band to check out would be The Corrs. Kind of pop/folk
Hi! Happy New Year! :) I stumbled onto one of your videos, really enjoyed it, and have now watched a couple of your videos - still enjoying them a lot! I've now been on the search for a "here's who I am!" kind of video from you... I wasn't able to find anything. Is this a conscious choice of yours? If not, and if you're comfortable sharing, I'd love to know your name, what country you're from & living in, and whatever else you feel relevant to share to let people know how you developed into the (charming!) person that's creating content and sharing her views today... All the Best to you for 2024 & beyond! :)
Come On Now, NP. Play the game.
Not only are you my favourite out of endless reactors, but you are extremely intelligent and today you top it off with that jumper/Sweater. I love that soft, natural feminine look and it really suits you.
Happy New Year to You and Yours from South East London:)
😁 Your smile is amazing! 🌞
I was actually at this show, at the Aldwych Theatre in London. I think it was late 80s.
Keep on absorbing that knowledge in 2024 🎉
If it was a few decades later, I have a strong hunch that 0:55 the bulk of his material would be based off of one joke.
Love your content.
The masks getting you high comes from the movie Fight Club. And I have joy that just got referenced.
New year and 100k @ the same time !! Cheers to 2024. Feeling off-kilter not being able to flame super thanks on this vid..
Hey! Thanks for watching (: and for the constant support this year. Wishing you a happy New Year!
The Whistles are on the life jacket :)
Dave Allen was Irish but lived and worked mainly in the UK, though he travelled to Australia and other places I’m sure
You can guess how old this performance could be by the fact that he said hostess instead of flight attendant.
He was Irish and died in 2005. My guess for the date of this clip would be early 1990s. Happy New Year.
He was a comic genius. One of a kind.
Congratulations on your 100000 subs in the next couple of days 🎇🎇🎆🎆🎉🎉🎈🎈🎀🎀🎈🏆🏆😁😁
@03:50 There's an argument for the opposite happening. Hypoxia can make people kinda goofy; and if you pair it without a drastic C02 spike then people may be less likely to panic due to chemically induced terror of suffocation.
In flight "near miss" is a good one
The Pogues are Irish. Fairytail of New York always makes my Christmas music playlist
One of my favorite comedians.... Legend at thought provoking short story telling.....he was before his time... But sadly most of his jokes would be censored or banned nowadays! 😢
Try Simon Evans, UK comedian, you'll love him, you'll love his accent in particular and he is very clever. Watch him once and you'll play him again. Look out for him Live at the Apollo, live at the Theatre Royal or just Simon Evans Stand Up. Love your channel.
According to one comment in the linked video it was "live at the Albany Theatre London in 1990"
