I love David Allen - he describes the supermarket experience so well.
Rest in peace. Thank you for all the laughter. You are missed 🙏🙏
Dave Allen my mum's favourite comedian. I made her day when I took her to see him some time in early 90s just before he died. He was hilarious.
It's a shame bbc never repeats his TV shows
I thought was as he didn't like repeats
He had it written in contract that they couldn't repeat his programmes
@Dina Stanford I didn't know that. Interesting
Why’s that??
That's a bit weird taking your mum to see Dave Allen just before he dies, I'm surprised they let you in the hospital.
Dave Allen was a legend. I like the fact you highlighted that supermarket frustration is universal. Nice one getting 100k subs too, you deserve it
When I was a kid growing up... I thought this guy was so funny he would leave me with laughter tears rolling down my face. An absolute comedy legend 👏
What do you mean thought? So you don’t think he’s still funny??
@@benconway9010 What you on about...? My appreciation of the great man is highlighted by describing him as a legend and an applause emoji included.
The one and only Dave Allen , Bless him , sadly missed . 😥
Absolutely...
I watched him with my mum in the ‘70s and it Never gets old!
Me too! Happy days... Miss my mum, dad and Dave Allen.
I loved Dave Allen and his sign off "May your God go with you" is iconic and brilliant.
It's because old people have to watch every penny, and it's more reassuring to see notes in your purse
I wish we could see his older TV shows they were fantastic, there must be loads of gags that he did that are now missing, it's a real shame, I am 65 and he was doing comedy like that when I was around 8 years old, of course, I was too young to listen to Dave Allen at that time, mom and dad would send me to bed but I would find ways of getting to listen to it, he was brilliant.
Wonderful Irish comedian, thank you for reviewing him. Love him.
Dave is definitely a pure genius comedian of the highest quality :)
I'm with you. Anything Dave Allen and I'm in...
Dave delivers as always. I hate Supermarkets and Shopping Centers so much!! An absolute nightmare. Those "clever" monsters always design the layout of the shops to make you walk the longest possible route through the "maze" to get your the most important items everybody needs here in Finland, Coffee and Beer! But that`s nothing compared to the "culture/shopping" shock, when I walked the first time into an "American" Super Market and Mall!! It was in 1990 and we did not have so much foreign items or great variety/selection in different items in Finland that time. So I went to a "normal shopping" center just to buy some basic items like soft drinks, milk, cereal, bread....and of course "Peanut Butter & Jelly/Jam. And there were like 150 different cereal, 100 different breads, 200 soft drinks....I spend like 2 hours just walking up and down the endless aisles scratching my head! And another shock was, that there was an elderly gentleman "packing" my groceries for me and trying to carry them to my car!! I almost yelled NO! I am absolutely not going to let you do that for me! I am a young man, I will pack my own stuff and carry them!!! He was "shocked" I was shocked, everybody were "shocked"!! Thank God nobody called the Cops, cause that would have been my first and last shopping trip, laying down with 15 bullets in my back!! I gave him a $10 tip.
I don’t think anyone is going to call the old bill on you just for wanting to do your shopping yourself
We have Self Check Out now but I refuse to use them. For one we are doing someone out of a job and two I don’t get paid to do it . I miss Dave Allan he was so funny!
Seconded
Thirded... LOL! I was in a Poundland in London, recently; had spent about half an hour (or more?), wandering around with a basket, adding all sorts of items. I had a 'rough' running total in my head and got to the queue for... 'self serve' check-out tills - NO ONE on an actual 'proper' face-to-face till - DUH! A lady was assisting people to use the 'self serve' tills and I said that I preferred to be served by a cashier. She could see I had a full basket (my running total being about £32.00!?). She said "I will help you here..." (pointing at a self-serve), I replied, "I'm happy to wait to get 'served', this person behind can go there...". She told me that no one could serve me, and she would show me... That comment was like a 'red rag' to a bull !!! I'm not proud of what happened (and would have liked my purchases), but I put the basket down on the floor (in the front of the queue), said "no thank you, I won't be back again" and left the shop. I have NOT regretted my actions and obviously can't return to that branch, but I refuse to take work away from 'people' and I 'do know' I'm getting 'old man syndrome'. 🤔 😄
No-one could explain a situation quite like our Dave could. Occasionally new comedians come close and you find holes in their jokes, but with Dave it was always spot on! Genius
The self checkouts can be so annoying. Especially the "Unexpected item in bagging area. Please remove this item." - Remove item. - "Please put the item in the bagging area." - replace item - "Unexpected item in bagging area. Please remove this item." 🤯
😂😂😂
Evening EB……I grew up watching Dave Allen as a child, from 8 yrs old approx…..took me many yrs to understand why my dad was pissing himself laughing…….👍👌. The man was ahead of his time,in comedy circles , , and as he always signed off with…..May you’re god go with you ….. 👍🇮🇲💞
I never use self-checkout, if they have them, I still use the normal checkout, that's someone's job those self-help machines are taking, if there's only self-checkout I won't shop there
The much missed Dave Allen!
Now in the 21st Century we have the joy of home delivery: we didn't have the yogurt you wanted so we have substituted it with a box of fish-fingers or you wanted a large slice loaf instead we have given you 4 rolls.
On a home delivery I had ordered grapes and they substituted them for a dog toy. I don't even have a dog.
😂😂
Dave Allen a regular show on BBC2 until he died.He was so funny,with a couple of fellow comedy actors,various sketches.Sadly missed.
Can you imagine Dave Allen's reaction to self service checkout? I feel his rage whenever I'm forced to use them.
I absolutely love his humour, I think its so unique. What I think makes him stand out is that he tells a great story by talking about real world stuff everybody can relate to but just makes it hilarious. R.I.P to a legend, they just don't make them like him any more.
Well said
I remember as a young man watching Dave Allen with my Mum, and we both rocked with laughter, Both my Mum and Dave Allen are long gone now, but the memories remain and will continue to do so. Thanks for uploading this, it made me happy and sad at the same time if that makes sense. It's great to see you have reached 100k subs which you richely deserve.
Loved Dave Allen. Great humour. Another show I remember is where he is trying to teach his kids about time. That’s another funny one! Hey congrats on 100k subscribers too my man, you deserve it!
Oh yeah i remember that one i was crying at that scene 😂😂😂😂
i assume that old people count out the exact change when at the checkout for a number of reasons.
1. They are trying to be helpful by making sure the operator doesnt run out of change
2. They are lightening the load in their purse/wallet
3. Some basic mental arithmetic to keep their mind active
Don't forget that we will be old one day (unless we kick the bucket a bit earlier than expected) and will likely do the same
As for buying unplanned goods in supermarkets - we have two very well established German owned supermarkets her, Aldi and Lidl, that apart from being more comfortably priced than their competitors they are also famous for the centre aisle. Now the centre aisle changes every few weeks, so you could go in to buy some bread one day and leave with a greenhouse, chain saw and set of embossed harry potter books whilst the following week you might end up with a 6 person tent, a hot tub, 3 apple trees and a bondage set for the personal dungeon that you order online from their website.
The trick is to arrive in the shop 10 mins before closing - just when the "this store will be closing shortly, please make your way to the till" is repeated every 30 seconds and you just rush through grabbing exactly what you need whilst muttering to yourself, "wish they'd turn that bloody message off. I'm not deaf. The sign outside says 8am till 10pm".
Then you get home, check the receipt and at the bottom 21:54 - 22nd Jan 2023 and you just think "b*stards. there was no need to rush"
Dave Allen absolutely legend!
Thankyou, I have seen this many times, but it absolutely cracks me up, I can hardly breath from laughing it is hysterical, because it is all so true 😂😂😂😂😂
Excellent...a lot of older shoppers these days are very frustrated with self service check outs...another piece of Dave Allen gold cheers....E...
he was so good dave allen
I don't mind waiting in a supermarket queue - I usually have my earbuds in listening to a podcast or something. It just gets embarrassing when I keep laughing out loud. Everyone thinks I'm a bit touched and moves to another queue - result! 🤣🤣
Hi EB, everything he said was bloody true!!! Mind that was in the 90's. Now there are card payments and scan as you shop and don't need a checkout. A long time back there was a chain called Kwik Save and they didn't even price sticker items, they just had checkout assistants with very, very good memories for item prices 🥴 and they keyed the items in individually on the cash register. No bar code and readers back then 😎🤣 Cheers DougT
Oh, bloody hell. I remember Kwik Save! Full of seriously nasty alternatives to the big brands. 😁
Yep the really clever eye-line buy-line on supermarket shelves. Then they put all the goods they don't want you to buy on the top & bottom shelves :)
We have the self checkouts too. I prefer them when they are working well. In pretty much every supermarket here you have to do your own packing. I have never been asked to show a receipt after using a self checkout - you can't really just walkout with out using the checkout but you could steal some items fairly easily as the assistant is generally occupied with the various issues.
Saw him at the Strand Theatre in 1991. A lot of the material was used for his 1993 series, including this piece about supermarkets. He had us in hysterics.
Hi Alan - I refuse to use these 'self-scan checkouts' , as they don't pay me to do their jobs! LOL Also, in the UK, supermarkets (as well as practically every other shop) stopped accepting cheques quite a few years ago - most people pay 'contactless' with either a debit or credit card, especially since the start of the pandemic...
Yeah well it was the released DELIBERATELY Covid that killed all that check out stuff off
Wow, haven't seen this one! Sadly missed. Simply the best!
I remember going to tesco(UK supermarket)for razors,ended up with a TV dvd player kettle loads of food,and a sponge cake haha
His stuff about the supermarkets is so spot on. Dave Allen never disappoints.
And quite the thing for him, as a practicing atheist (religious sceptic), to end with 'may your god go with you.'.
In our local Asda we have a set of self checkouts for baskets and a separate one for trolleys.
Once again, I love how you 'get' British humour - Dave Allen was adopted as a Brit simply because he made us laugh so much for so many years. Despite the times, he never touched on politics or the troubles in Ireland and concentrated on delightful storytelling.
Dave Allen speaks for so many of us! Supermarkets, or at least the three brands that I use, have done away with the 'ticket' system at the deli counter because, to be honest, it was never really required. How often do you see a queue of people waiting at those counters? As for the 'nine items or less' checkouts, they too have gone the same way. I do like the self-service checkout though because they're so much quicker to get out of the store.
Using cheques was handy if you didn't have the money at the time until a couple days away, as cheques took a few days to clear you could get what you need.
During the first lockdown a lot of supermarkets had arrows on the floor because they wanted you to go down one aisle and up the next one to avoid people passing each other, the amount of times you'd see people going the wrong way down an aisle was unreal 😆
Dave Allen is my favourite comedian of all time.
UK sounds the same as the US - all self-checkout, few or no-staff these days - which can be very, very frustrating. Dave Allen would have had a field day!
the ticket system reminded me of The Mr Bean episode when he goes to the hospital with his hand stuck inside a pot or kettle, gets a ticket for the queue and then spends his time trying to get to the front of the queue
Watch some of his early years when he used to sit in the chair and he be drinking. I think was Irish whiskey on the BBC with the missing fingers. I think it was in the 70s you might not like it you might just try it
I'm old, but I use my plastic to pay. Job done. Bang. And I don't wander around. I get what I came in for, and I leave. I have a life.
Kudos....
They have one till in my local supermarket for all the old dears that still use cash.
And they still queue up and try and pay with cash at every till 😒 usually right in front of me. Then they say they didn't see the signs, all 400 of them lol
Shopping is still as stressful now as it was back then. Thank God for deliveries 🙏
Good on Them, I'm in my 40's and only use cash, Only time I use my card is to lift money from the ATM.
@@gordonprentice7090 they have a till set aside for old people. They should use it, it's not like there's no signs saying "card only" 🙄
Plus why wouldn't you use your card either? It's so much easier, and quicker, just to tap your card.
@@101steel4 Remember what happened to the Canadian truckers two years ago if they had kept all their money as cash then the government wouldn’t have been able freeze their assets.
I'm an oldie and hardly ever use cash, I use my cash card have done for years now. I think some people are so suspicious of the new ideas they wont try them.
@@vallee3140 I'm an oldie too, well compared to Gordon anyway lol
My parents are both well into their 70s and hardly use cash either. So much easier.
I went into the local Lidl this morning for sourdough bread and a tub of butter,I came out with those plus 3 more shopping bags total cost £60 now I can't afford to go again for a few weeks lol
You are in good company....E...
Did you manage to avoid the middle though?
Did you notice that Dave Allen got angrier as he got older? He had a lot of difficulties in life (mainly dealing with his brother I believe, who had a lot of issues). Dave had to continue doing standup for the money to help support him. He was still very good at it of course, but gone was the gently smiling, calm, warm man with the outlandishly silly sense of humour. He had started to rant against life bitterly rather than laugh along with it. Bless you Dave for the joy you gave all of us. I hope you're telling the angels jokes in heaven!
If anyone wondered about the 'Post Office' reference at the end of the last sketch, it was because he was referring to the fact that most old age pensioners (both then & now) withdraw their pension there in the UK.
Never go shopping when you are hungry.
Heck no. Leave with a 4 course meal and all you needed was toilet paper.
@@TheEclecticBeard funnily enough, when my 2 were very young, they would chomp through baguettes enroute to the check out...had to put the empty bags through,..I grew up with a mate who would go out to buy a loaf of bread and disappear on a bender for a few days ..I doubt his ma got that loaf...
Or hangry....
He's Hilarious. Thanks for the reaction 👍
This is a Dave Allen sketch I've not seen before
correct amount of money just this minute happened to me at the localshop and yep it was an elderly woman.. brilliant.
Yeah Dave Allen would have a field day with the self check outs and the random stop checks for the self scanner gun if he were alive today.
As someone that works in one,Dave is spot on
Gawd lol... I can't count the number of times I've gone shopping for one specific item and have returned home with bags and bags, but worse than that... I forgot to get the item I wanted in the first place!
My current peeve is the self-scan checkouts they have these days... I used to bag them up myself before pressing the button to pay, but now I scan and leave it all lying there and then press the button. Why? Because it's Russian roulette that when you press to pay, a sign will light up saying please wait for an employee to come and check your items! Aargh! 🤣
Razor thin ham is better then thick slices. The taste is more pronounced
Old people remember when cash registers didn't calculate the change and it was good manners to give exact cash to save the cashier from endless subtractions
If you`ve not already done so, you might want to check Rhod Gilbert trying to buy a potato at his local supermarket.
I completely forgot about the ticket system 😮, there did used to be little raffle type tickets you pulled off a thing on the wall! They still have counters now but less people using them I guess and a lot more stuff already set out.. the biggest queue I encounter now is the Asda (Walmart) pizza counter 😂 don’t knock it… great pizza
Watch Eddie Izzard on Supermarkets...Hilarious
He’s very good at telling stories.
The supermarket moves things round to make you look. I used to work in one.
I wonder if George Carlin ever so any of Dave Allen stand up, they have such similar views on so many subjects, I would have loved to have seen them together
wow you haved reached a milestone not surprised, loved this .
A lot of the supermarkets in the UK have shut their delicatessen counters .
I am totally against and I refuse to use de self-checkout lines, even if I have to stand in the regular line to pay. It´s not only taking people's jobs but they make you work for them. By the way, the prices aren't lower. As consumers your actions matter. The first time they implemented self-cashiers on IKEA where I live, I filed a complaint note and avoid getting there.
I prefer the selfcheck out machines but I always seem to go to the one that keeps telling me I've an "unexpected item in bagging area" even though I've scanned everything in my basket. Then I have to wait for the assistant to rectify it before it does it again as soon as they go away! ☹
At last Mr beard guy an American who knows the difference between a purse and a bag
Happens EVERY TIME I walk into a supermarket just for one thing, end up leaving with half a dozen items
Shopping for more than you went for happens only when you actually have more money than you need. 😆 I learned to appreciate that freedom of having enough money to afford buying something for a future need. 🙏
He was hilarious. What I liked about him was that although he was an Athiest he still said"May your God go with you" in a serious gentlemanly non rude way. I am a Churchgoer and I found this video HILARIOUS and Personally TRUE😅😅. Heck NOBODY'S perfect, no matter what your faith or non faith is
Totally agree with everything said. I can't believe that in these days of sometimes over zealous Health and Safety that they let people with absolutely no skill or training loose with something as dangerous as a shopping trolley.
I recently used a self checkout in my local supermarket with no need of any help from staff. They made me Area Manager!
Dave Allen was as big as The Paul hogan show in Australia in 1980 the first time I heard my father who rarely spoke laugh out loud both shows all 4 kids on ground in front of tv could talk in the add-breaks “it’s back on quiet” Dad smoked with a ashtray on a pole next to chair like Dave😂 4 men that changed Australia’s attitude are Dave Allen Paul Hogan Kevin Bloody Wilson & Rodney Rude! Ofcoarse many others from the goodies to Happy days but these 4 you could say in front of dad not mum so the made father son bonds better with “F**k C**T” 😂Mum only joins in after a shandy but she releases her built up laughter she’s repressed she can’t talk tears rolling down now we are all laughing at her😂 Jim Jeffries was the same age they shaped him as well we are in the AC/DC INXS age we saw them play in pubs every week with 30 people we can’t be offended but we punch on and insult each other with love ❤️
We barely have checkout staff these days, it's either scan yourself or scan and go where you take an infrared scanner round the store and scan as you go, eonce at the checkout no putting the items on a conveyer you just zap the scanner at the machine and it sends the list instantly to the till job done
Madness at self service checkouts, you technically paying the shop to do what used to be their employees job. Obviously there is other stuff that needs to be paid for down the supply chain etc but they just install them to cut staff down, then have 2 muppets stood next to them who never actually do what you need them to when the machines inevitably don't work properly or the damn ID check comes up.
At 84years old, haven't used cash for years, just wave my DB card in front of a machine. Most of my friends who are of a similar age do the same.
I hate it when we're through Walmart and have to go through a self checkout because all the regular ones are closed.
He was so funny. My parents loved him. He used to be on TV all the time in the late 70s and early 80s in Ireland and a lot of the Irish establishment didn't know what to do with him, especially when he got on to the topic of religion. Lots of people would watch him and laugh along but then keep it quiet because he outraged the Catholic church so much!
"Incorrect item in the bagging area'...... Brain explodes!
im the lady with the trolly XD XD
I work in retail and yep he is correct, they still do it now and especially when using a card payment till and try and pay by cash. The language hasn’t changed in the past few years but some people don’t want to read anymore.
A lot of our supermarkets now in the UK are getting rid of people behind tills. More self service. Alcohol purchases you have a red flashing beacon above your head! I think to self serve you should get a discount. You still have a few staffed counters but less and less.
I add it up as I go round in my head and so often get correct change out when queue as feel if cashier not need to give me change it is faster
A true comedy genius 👏
Lol get your own hogs? I know thw feeling buddy 🤣
I am in your age group who remembers real sliced ha from a real butchers. I mean, translucent ham(!) what's that about?
l am english yes l do self checkout, if anyone tries to cut in l let them know there is no way they are getting past me. Dave Allen will always be one of my favourites just a shame they don't repeat his shows on tv.
Does anywhere still have the tickets for queuing? I remember supermarkets having them but can’t remember the last time I saw anywhere using them.
I'm the same in supermarkets last summer I bought £60 worth of dog food, by the time I got back to the car I realised I didn't need it
He's spot on, I go to the supermarket for half a dozen things, i go to the checkout and my bill is £100..lol
Never go grocery shopping on an empty stomach as you will always buy more than you really need because you are thinking of your stomach.
They have reduced the amount of cashier in my supermarket and installed self check out to save on running cost and there is a new breed just come on the scene where there is self service only here in the UK.
You should check out Denny Willis and the Fox think you would love it too
Nothing is up we are all fine thank you
My sister went into a supermarket to buy a chicken. Instead, she came out with a computer.
Shops know how to use psychology and even company's have people who understand how the human mind works set out to make the product appealing and seductive .
Here in the UK and they might still do it, they send through the store the smell of fresh bread to get you in the mood for shopping.
Whilst the correct change thing can be annoying, I can tell you that, as someone who works retail, there is something even more annoying.
People who arrive at the till and then go through the whole trolley to see if they actually want it.
"If you didn't want it why did you put it in the f***ING trolley" I have to think whilst still smiling and saying "it's not a problem."
I'm damned if I'd show them my receipt if I'd self scanned. They can run after me if they want to see it !
