I wish we could bottle up your laugh and open it up when we’re having a bad day. It’s so infectious.
Jolliest laugh I've heard in ages!
From the boots !!
Yip the hairy ones laughter is medicine would love to see him react to the YOUNG ONE'S and BOTTOM
Infectious might not be the best word to use right now, Lol 😂👍🇬🇧🏴
It's to hear people laugh 🤗
He survived decades of the Catholic Church’s wrath, death threats from the IRA and a ban by Irish and Australian TV, only to have his television career end in controversy when he used the f-word in an innocuous joke. He was banned from the main tv station here RTE..
In England we loved the bones of him though
His Aussie ban was very short lived, Danny Morrison, among others, said he was a great favourite amongst the Republican prisoners in Long Kesh
@@TheGarryq He saw the catholic church for what it was long before the laundry horror's became national news.. Man before his time
@@juliahamilton2282 And don't forget the Holy Paedos!
@@sprinter1832 And the correct (abbreviated) spelling of Paedos (one hardly ever sees it with the correct ligature, the conjoined a&e). I salute you, Sir.
I always loved Dave Allen I remember my grandad used to let me stay up and watch when I was a kid. My grandad and Dave Allen are the reason I’m an atheist.
Having grown up in London in the 1960s and 70s, I was a big fan of Dave Allen's, so I felt extremely privileged to get to know him when we were both members of the same health club in Kensington during the mid 1990s. I have fond memories of spending many afternoons, sitting in a sauna with him, when he told me about his early career in television, as well as a priceless anecdote that involved my father, who had worked in theatres during the late 50s and early 60s. He also told me that the BBC had wiped all of his early shows from the tapes they used to record television back then, due to the cost of the tapes, which they recycled. As a result, the first series of his tv show for the BBC was entirely erased and as far as I'm aware, none of it was archived. He was a lovely and generous man and he retained his sense of humour long after his tv career was over.
Yes, he was a true Legend, probably one of the greatest comedians that ever lived.
But unfortunately, we will never get this kind of comedy again, due to Political Correctness!
Oh dear, let's be miserable all our lives!
A bit long winded, but I do understand, I read every word! 👌
That's awesome you got to know him a bit and talk with him.
Thanks for the anecdote! I like his fairytale sketch withe the Princess who could not laugh.
@@paulcrombie9623 Yes, apologies for longwindedness. Written in a hurry and posted without editing. I've edited it slightly now and improved the syntax.
Dave Allen is my favourite comedian of all time. His take on things like religion, telling the time, and kids is legendary.
I preferred David Tynan O'Mahoney.
@@nickgov66 That was the same person. Learn the internet before commenting. I feel sorry for you, obviously, but still quite cross.
@@AntonGully I knew that already actually, Anton, there is no need to be such an insulting little shit.
He was brilliant. Top 3 for me.
I have only just discovered him. So far, some of the funniest stuff I’ve seen in a long ol’ time…. How have I never come across him?? I’m puzzled!!!
Just brilliant. Dave Allen was world class.
Dave Allen was a brilliant writer and comic.. mind you you either like him or you don't many sad people had issues with him about his religious jokes! I loved him!
Look i think he was really funny. However people who don't are not SAD. There are many comics i just don't find ffunny that others do. I know this is a tough concept for youtube but people can have differing tastes without being wrong or sad
@@artful1967 So long as we can all agree that the Catholic church has been a haven for child-molesters and paedophiles. Like Dave Allen said.
People that reviled him for his opinions valued dogma over people. That’s how genocides start.
Thanks for restoring my faith in Americans. Iknow you are insanely unique but I hope there are lots like you.
The fires just gone out.
It’s such a simple joke but bloody hysterical. Dave’s sketches and stand up are timeless and always give me a serious case of the giggles.
Yes, it's like the recent advert when someone says "The boiler's gone" and you see the boiler running up the road.
Dave Allen, gods own comedian.
I heard more stories about how he lost his finger than I can remember.
Yes he lost it as a child & his father to help him deal with this told him when people asked him how he lost his finger to never tell the same story. I guess he learnt from that to use his imagination & humour to deal with anything in his life : )
@@chrislawley6801 yes, I remember that coming up in the film on his life.
@@johnsharp6618 Great film though could have been longer as felt the ending was rushed
@@chrislawley6801 totally agree there,
He lost his finger when his father was cutting wood from a felled tree. 100% confirmed. The whole mystery was about whose fault it was. He was a kid, so...
That 13 minutes just flew by. Alan, you have the most infectious laugh.
Thank you
I think Dave Allen bridged the gap to the outside world of comedy from the UK. Not many other comedians of this time were relatable abroad.
Good afternoon from the Isle of Man 👍🇮🇲. Dave is brilliant to watch , timeless.......😁
This takes me back to my home, me and my sister, mother and father sitting around the TV watching this laughing our heads off, real family favourite. You had the same reactions as we did. Love it and thanks.
Good afternoon from Gloucester, England. It’s laughter we need more of during these difficult times.
✌️
Had me crying.... forgotton just how funny Dave Allen was 😆
Fantastic! He was great and much missed. I recommend you watch his stories, he was brilliant at them , really drawing you in, then the punch line! You will enjoy! .x
Your reaction to dave Allen is always golden.. I remember all those sketches from back in the day lol.. Dave Allen was an awesome comic..
As a kid I first met Dave Allen on a long flight, he kept me entertained for sure! I remember his antics about his amputated pinkie lol. A few years later we saw him live and even then he remembered me and had us backstage afterwards (of course he made me part of his act first lol). A genuine guy as friendly as you'd expect. His trademark cigar and whiskey wasn't just for show lol.
Dave Allen was the best. Im 68 and lucky to have seen them all when they first aired BUT you laughing is the best tonic I've had in years.
Can we please have a 30 minute video of your laughter? You would be doing the world a great service 😉
He was also an amazing storyteller, you should check out the clips where he’s just sat in chair with a glass of whiskey.
I'm with you on that one tom he was at he's most priceless best on that. Chair or very often a stool.seeing these clips of Allen brings back happy memories
He liked people to think it was whiskey and water, but it was champagne.
Better than any medicine hearing you laugh. Brightens my day. Love Dave Allen. Miss his talent, much better than the so called comedians of today.
Your seeing Dave for the first time, I grew up watching him, the man was one fantastic comic.
Grew up with dave Allen, a true comedians comedian. I don't think I will ever forget 'and may you're god go with you'
good afternoon from Hampshire UK . your laugh is just so cool :-)
Hants here also
Hi ! Am from the UK , not seen Dave Allen for a long time since the show broadcasts 👍 Hilarious ! Cheers!😊
My husband came into the room to find out who was laughing. He loves your laugh. 🤗
Dave Allen was up there with the greats of British comedy and he was often a lot more edgy than the rest, used to love his shows from an early age.
Thanks for sharing this. Those jokes never get old, even after so many years.
Brilliant Dave Allen the best 🌈 great to hear the laughter , we all need it 👏🏻
Loved Dave as a kid, my mum and dad would religiously watch his show. I was lucky enough to see him on stage in Australia (probably his last tour), and I left the theatre with aching ribs from laughing so much. Great guy and greatest comedian. Also I love your laugh. :D
OK. I laughed myself silly when these were first on television.
I laughed again when I found them on TH-cam.
But watching you, watch them 30/40 years later has absolutely killed me.
Thank you so much for reminding me how funny he was
The laugh is very infectious! Also, Dave Allen was a genius beyond his time
Wow 50 years ago when we watched Dave Allen,great family favorite.
I belly laughed at that .awesome 👏👏
Awesomeness. Cheers to you.
Thanks for the awesome upload Electric Beard, Dave allen was a great guy to watch over many years, and sadly not with us anymore. stay safe bud. respect.
I've seen all these so many times that I'm now getting more of a laugh from you laughing. Thanks. Cheered me up.
grew up with him on the tv...one of the best
Thanks man, lovin' it :) Laugh, laugh... then laugh again :)
I
As a family we always sat around the TV and everything stopped to watch Dave Allan. A true comedy legend! E
I'm mid 30s now and I've never seen this guy on TV before. He's really funny so I'll be up for more of these. It had me laughing
I don't know what makes me laugh more ,the sketches or the beards laugh !! Absolutely brilliant 😄
What a laugh you have. Certainly brightened up my day.
Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Dave Allen is my all time favourite comedian. His stand up (or rather sit down with a single malt and pack of cigs) is outstanding, especially if you're fond of atheist comedy 😁
Your laugh is so contagious - I know Dave Allen's sketches very well but your laughter brings it all back again - thanks for that.
Thanks bro. Made my afternoon. I love dave Alan and love that laugh of yours. Wots not to like❤👍😉
I haven't seen some of these clips in years, they're brilliant. The horse clip cracked me up.
Hi from the UK. Your reactions & laughter are priceless & have me laughing just as hard. Keep laughing my friend.
😂😂😂thanks for stopping the tape between sketches I was laughing to 👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Dave Allen a true gem. Top class.
Thanks for making me laugh so much. One of my grandson had just sent me a photo of his new hair cut and i was feeling sad .Because of our lockdown i havnt been able to see much of my 15 grandchildren and I miss them
I'm so sorry to hear that, that's awful. I hope you can see them again soon.
Dave Allen RIP- one of the best.
😂😂 brilliant , silly but hilarious
Jeesh - those were the days. Real humour. Really enjoyed watching Dave Allen again - and E B's laugh makes it even funnier. Thanks....
One of the best comedians of his era and a really nice guy as well
Lovely kind man. So so funny
Even my religious catholic gran would watch him. God bless him.
I love and agree with your reaction to Dave Allen.
He was a viewing icon here in New Zealand in the 1970s.
Thank you for sharing . I love Dave , watched him when I was young and I still laugh now . His sketches seem so simple but really its genius .
I had a very liberal upbringing as a child and was allowed to watch Dave Allen in the early '70s. The show used to always end with a 'horror' sketch, often a werewolf, which used to put the wind up me a little!
You have wisdom sir.
Dave Allen was an absolute genius: his religious sketches alone should make him eligible for sainthood!
I can remember watching Dave Allen with my dad as a kid he was one of the best 70s and 80s was definitely the best time for comedies here in the UK so many great comics
The Irish funeral is his classic. He was good verbally, silently, he was different, remains different and is still funny, now that is difficult to do.
Dave Allen was a comedic genius, I sure miss his style of comedy.
what is the immediate action drill for stepping on a mine ................leaping 200' in the air and scattering yourself over a wide area
Blackadder Goes Fourth???
These sketches are wonderfully short and sharp. No waffle.
the 70's and 80's was a golden era for british comedy, but we still produce some good stuff like lee evans although he's already retired :-(
What happened to humour.....Dave Allen was one of many. back in the sixties seventies eighties ...interesting watching your reaction and observations....your spot on....my missus is from USA...after decades in Scotland she still notices wacky things I seeem to be oblivious too.....have fun ....best wishes from Scotland
i laughed, my irish dad walked away every time he started on the pope LOL
I know all these guys sketches and gigs and you have made me appreciate their genius all over again. Thank you x
I think I laughed more with you than at the sketches. You have a great laugh, mate!
So pleased you've discovered the comic genius of the late great, Dave Allen.
Great to see and hear you laughing!!! That's the way to go! Nothing worse than a humourless person. Excellent. Keep on laughing bro. ATB from U.K.
His money under the car sketch is brillant too or the irish funeral sketch. He was an absolute comic genius i remeber watching him in the 1980s with my dad he had both of us in stitches laughing. Top reaction my friend your laughter is highly contagious.
I knew you'd like Dave Allen when I initially sent you some material. In the 80s, when the older comics went out of fashion and the Alternative Comedy started, Dave Allen was one of the few that still had a show and was respected by the New Wave
I was laughing my arse off watching this, and I’m from the UK
OMG! I can’t believe, I grew up watching this. My parents were fkin fantastic!
Must see Dave Allen sketch of the ten pound note under the car tyre, brilliant!😭
Remember watching him as a kid. My dad pointed out that he had only half a finger. I was fascinated looking at this missing digit 😂.which he emphasized cz he had a habit of brushing that hand on his thigh when he told a story.. loved him as kid.
All time classic comedian, the good old comedy days was the best, great video beardy 👍🏻 your laugh makes me chuckle
EASILY the best laugh on the internet!!! ty for your vids . . u make a dark day bright!!!
Greetings from Sunderland 🏴
Best wishes to your family 🤗
Much love to you and yours as well.
So enjoyable hearing you laugh, I joined it chuckling with you at Dave Allen.
Reminds me of my youth, 9 pm BBC, nobody went out we all stayed in to watch the great Dave Allen, nobody could afford a video recorder, if you missed it that was that. Found it funny he smoked and drink whisky on stage in the early days, we never had saw the like, he was a master of comedy, his sketches always cracked me up, though only really understanding them as I got older...
Forgot how great Dave Allen was , he was and still is number 1.
Your laugh is infectious, Dave Allan was brilliant.
True story about Dave Allen Sheffield late 70,s came on stage asked people in audience who was Catholic. A woman stood up and said me Dave asked her ' HOW long have you been married ' lady replied 23 years '
And how many children have you.
' two ' she said.
Dave shot back ' sit down your no Catholic 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Watching and listening to YOU makes me laugh all the harder!
Loving the laughter mate, Dave Allen's something else, funny as hell...
I love your laughter.
Thank you
I was lucky enough to see Dave Allen live in London many many years ago. Too funny. Shame bbc never re runs his TV shows.
Thank you for your heartfelt words. It means so much. ❤️
Probably the finest comedian to come out of Ireland
He was so funny I'll always think of him sitting on his chair with a ciggarette and a glass of whiskey classis his sort of comedy will never go out of fashion we've had some great comics over the years lucky for us we still have good ones today like Peter Kay, Lee Evans etc thank you keep safe 😀😀😷✌👍
We have and have had some great stand up comedians, the best have sadly gained their angel wings
I've been looking for one of the sketches he did about bringing a friend to see his new high tech chair that has massage functions, etc. End of the sketch the friend sits in the chair and says "bugger me" and Allen replies in horror "nooooo"....
Your bloody laugh is fantastic and infectious! Cheers fro Oz.
Knew you would love this, great memories, cheers bud.
I saw him live years ago, I have never laughed so mush in my life a really talented man.
Mind your language show, was a classic comedy gold too
