Of Les Patterson he says "He does all the things I try not to do." In Barry's private life one.wonders whether the demons that drove his creativity were a lot to do with shameless toxic masculinity. Brilliant as some of his comedy and wit is there is cruelty. Just seeing how he humiliates an old woman in this video mocking her face speaks volumes about what kind of person he might be underneath all the talent fame and adulation. His children are the ones who would know. May he rest in peace.
Sir Les and co will be sadly missed when Barry retires but the memories of him will remain with those that love him long after he is gone. Bless you Barry for giving us the ultimate gift, the gift of laughter.
Prophetic words . I am missing his wit and his honest caustic Australian vulgarity already ... just days after his passing . His intelligence was astounding, his timing perfect and his presence humbling . I am grateful to have seen him live and won't ever forget " Tears before bedtime "
I have been following "Dame Edna" for years, and never knew any of this stuff. I am so blown away. How one person could morf themselves from one thing to the extreme opposite and with such success is beyond belief. I am so impressed.
I have had the pleasure of meeting Mr Humphries a few times and I have to say he is a the best raconteur and wit I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. And what most do not realize is he is also a amazing dresser, his style and cut of his cloth is admirable.
Why are Australians so good at Sport? Dame Edna: "Good food and diet; open air life; juicy steaks; sunshine - and the total absence of any kind of intellectual distraction." A true Satirist and a gentleman
Undoubtedly the funniest 2 comedy characters ever and my personal favourites for many years. On a different matter, the girl in the bar scene is absolutely stunning,what a truly beautiful young woman!!
@@yatinexile7144 Thank you for your reply,but may I please offer you some sincere advice. Don't use profanity when naming,or describing anything Holy. There is no need for profane language at any time, however,to use it in the same sentence as anything connected to Almighty God,is utterly unacceptable. I wish you well my friend. Kindest regards.

Who is this man ?? He's got swagger in his walk and commands the rooms ationtion like a general then with one deep breath he flops like a fish .women rather love or hate him but they never forget him .He's chipper all day and night , he's never a prude or quite .....he's just simply Les Patterson .👌🥇🏆📜⛲🎼🕰️🥀👠👠🎩🚬🛎️💄🍾🥂👱🏻♀️👤🚬🙋🏻♀️🥂💼👔👞👞👏👏👏👏👏👆👏👏
The only problem for us Poms about Sir Les was that (speaking for myself) when I was growing up in the 70s/80s, I genuinely thought that that's what high-flying, famous Aussies were really like. I actually had to meet some genuine Australian people, indeed pay few visits Down Under, for that particular quaintly naive juvenile misconception to be comprehensively cured: the reality was much, much worse. Honest.
I’m Astrayan & you’re absolutely right mate. We’re not all like sir Les all of the time, but we’re all like him a lot of the time! We got culture coming out of our arseholes!🤣🤣
I always look for good comedians and too many of them seem unnatural,trying to hard to be funny and Dame Edna was one of those that I could laugh at with a healthy laugh.
All the best artists, actors and muso's were boozers are druggies. Can you imagine a world where everyone was into yoga and macrobiotics? It'd be boring as shit.
Knowone can sum up Australian culture or lack of it like Sir Les sais we got it coming out of our arseholes ??? never a truer word spoken in a way only Sir Les can deliver. I've been Australian for 65 years now and in that time you get to encounter many characters like Sir Les so you get where he's coming from a giant of Australian culture l wonder if he ever Rogered Edna the mind boggles.👀👁🖕😆🤣
R.I.P Barry Humphries. Your comedic genius will be missed
One of the greatest comedians in the history of the world. Sheer, sheer brilliance.
Of Les Patterson he says "He does all the things I try not to do." In Barry's private life one.wonders whether the demons that drove his creativity were a lot to do with shameless toxic masculinity.

bs
what a diamond fantastic we loved him in the UK RIP Barry

@Gregory Whoee who pissed in your beer? Grumpy fucker aren`t you?
Prophetic words .
I am missing his wit and his honest caustic Australian vulgarity already ... just days after his passing .
His intelligence was astounding, his timing perfect and his presence humbling .
I am grateful to have seen him live and won't ever forget " Tears before bedtime "
Sir Les Paterson is political corrections nightmare and we love him for it
What a mind we’ve lost!! 😢 RIP SIR ✌🏼
Sure, Les can be crude, but let's never forget, he saved the world...
Pure genius we will miss his brilliance
I love this guy. Brilliant, brilliant comedian.
I have been following "Dame Edna" for years, and never knew any of this stuff. I am so blown away. How one person could morf themselves from one thing to the extreme opposite and with such success is beyond belief. I am so impressed.
The word Genius is bandied about today but he we have the real thing, truly brilliant character actor and one of the worlds best standup artists
I have had the pleasure of meeting Mr Humphries a few times and I have to say he is a the best raconteur and wit I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. And what most do not realize is he is also a amazing dresser, his style and cut of his cloth is admirable.
Total Legend Les, Thank You for helping me laugh at the world around us 👍😀😆😂🤣
Just so funny. I miss comedy that makes you cry and hurts your sides.
Gone for ever, never to be repeated.
Why are Australians so good at Sport?
Dame Edna: "Good food and diet; open air life; juicy steaks; sunshine - and the total absence of any kind of intellectual distraction."
A true Satirist and a gentleman
Rip Barry thanks for the real humanity and laughs
Absolutely brilliant, Sir les, Dame Edna...superb,
Bloody hilarious, no matter how many times you watch Bazza it just get's funnier.
Undoubtedly the funniest 2 comedy characters ever and my personal favourites for many years. On a different matter, the girl in the bar scene is absolutely stunning,what a truly beautiful young woman!!
Yes Phil you're right. But no-one seems to know who she is unfortunately.
Cheryl rixon Australian girl u.s penthouse pet of the year

Barry Humphries and his alter-egos have made me laugh for about 50 years; well done Barry!!
Very funny man. Thanks for the laughs, Barry.
True genius of comedy.
This man is a Genius ...
Probably the funniest man EVER....
A great performer
I totally agree only Australia could provide someone with such talent
Who made his career in Britain. Win, win.
Has Holly made any other appearances?
thank you universe for allowing me to share the same time in history as Barry ...
Such a wonderful talent. :)
Poor Oz pollies, old and modern, Sir Les is your mirror! :-) RIP
I never heard of the character “Les”, knew dame Edna though. This is way way better. Love this character.
Barry was also the voice of Bruce the shark in Finding Nemo.

@@assplundah Bloody oath.
I don't like Dame Edna, but I love Les!
Barry Humphries, a comic genius. 🤣
Just who is that beautiful creature behind him!
Holly
Six years late but apparently she is a former Penthouse Pet called Cheryl Rixon
Damn, that girl is gorgeous!
Holly is gorgeous and a good sport. How does he do it??!!
Precisely!
Like Sir Les, she’s an paid actor with a sense of humour
Whose the horn bag behind with… corrrr blimeyyyy
One of the funniest comedians who ever lived. His humour is actually funny, unlike the crap on TV these days, and god, I miss it. 😢
@ludocrat
you're comment was priceless. you completely wrong footed me at the end like dame edna &sir les.well done
You go back along way 😂😂
This is basically how he views Australia and Australians period .
We love him dearly he said bit the way it was may he Rest In Peace
1:08 - Phwooooaaaaarrrrr, eh lads!?
The twinkle saying “Sperm”…….outrageous! 🤣🤣🤣
who's the charming lady with him at the bar? she's gorgeous 😍 💖 💕
is there any footage of the drop out surfer? I would walk 'arf a bloody mile to see that sport?
great video! Humphries has a very wacky sense of humor....and who is this Holly girl? She is gorgeous!
Holly....👍
last scene at 6:15 is masterful
Genius
Looking at Dame Edna I find it hard to believe any man has EVER been in her!
In the afterlife I would like to be reincarnated as the black dress on that hornbag
AAmazing entertainer..
never saw this before, cool
That Holly is a bit of all right hey?
Mrs T Aussie version ...!
Who is that absolutely beautiful woman in the black dress?
Anyone know the name of the lady with Sir Les? Asking for a friend!
Wedding tackle equipment ... lmao
I can see Sir Les as a ventriloquist's dummy more than an actual human.
OMG the commentator has no idea what a goomlah he is intellectualizing Sir Les? Humphries was a genius.
Where's the rest of this program please? Thanks!
The Man Inside Dame Edna
carldpatterson Thank you Sir! :-)
Who is Holy in the background
where is the reeeest
I always look for good comedians and too many of them seem unnatural,trying to hard to be funny and Dame Edna was one of those that I could laugh at with a healthy laugh.
Who is the blonde?
Whose the babe behind him? :)
Holly
Hot blonde
Who is that gorgeous woman?
who is she ? holy moley
Who's the blonde Les?
Comedy plus RIP
I thought he's Clive Palmer
Fabulous headline!
Sir Les could have written it himself, superb & hilarious on many levels 👍😉
Vulgarity on rollerskates ! 💥🤣💘
Non PC king!😂
Quite an attractive girl at the bar 🤔
All the best artists, actors and muso's were boozers are druggies. Can you imagine a world where everyone was into yoga and macrobiotics? It'd be boring as shit.
@1:15 that's what we all came for.
