I loved watching and listening to this guy in the 60's ,as a kid.I could never get enough of his wry observational humour. Thank you so much for uploading these gems. He's just as funny in 2016. Gone too soon.
@@sandorhartig3957 when he did use the word, there were complaints and the BBC didn't stand up for him, so he left for ITV and did this his best series!
No matter how many times I watch this it just has this nice vibe. I wish we could have people like him today to tell us jokes. We have funny comedians,but most are bellow his level.
During the early to mid seventies when I was studying in U.K. in spite of heavy study schedule I would always spare time to watch Dave Allen show on telly
Absolutely Brilliant comic I can remember watching Dave Allen. Many years ago what a difference today days comics. In those Days their was no pc . Not like today
I wish I'd known about this fellow a long time ago. I've only just stumbled onto these two videos (parts one and two) by accident today and nearly fell out of my chair laughing several times. I gotta look up more by this guy.
I grew up watching this bloke. There will never ever be another Dave Allen. Dig deep and find all you can, the laughter will make you live an extra 20 years. LOL
I do remember watching this episode, and, when, in the section about sperm banks, the moment Dave said "They certainly don't shake your hand", I had a large mouthful of hot coffee and a massive laugh building up behind it. It was a quick decision between choking on the coffee or spitting it out, and I'm sorry to say the coffee won. I got a coffee-soaked shirt and vest out of the situation! Good thing I was too busy laughing myself silly!
The funny thing is although Dave used quite a lot of explicit languages, he doesn't sound vulgar at all, in contrast to a lot of modern comedians. He also made fun of religion in good humor and not in a fitting rage like many contemporary comedians.
He was such a naturally witty man and what I admire most about his humour was its kindliness and gentleness, qualities that applied to him equally as a person. He was a lovely guy. His shows did have some filmed skits, but mostly it considered of just him sitting in his armchair telling stories. That was the thing, they weren't just jokes, they were narratives. He was a great raconteur and what made him so funny was his comic timing. We'll never see better because it was perfect. One particularly memorable story was the one of how he lost his index finger (he lost the top of one of his fingers and turned it into a very funny story. I'll see if I can find a link and if I do I'll post it in reply to @Solidfact42, as they didn't know Dave Allen from the 70s & 80s).
The finest, the one an only!! No equells,no comparsions!!! He was to comedy,what the beatles were to music!! We will never see his like again??? A genius an legend in the true sense of word!!! R.I.P Dave!! God bless!! Hope your making them laugh where ever you may be??
Just came across this , he was an absolute genius!!, his joke/ comic timing were always spot on even down to the sketches. Even though his shows were controversial , within the Catholic chuch especially. Over here in the UK we all loved him. Rip Dave Allen gone far too soon😔......
The guy was a fuckin' master. It's all about just telling the truth and then waiting for the people to comprehend. How many years will it take to come clean about the rest of the things we have all been groomed into doing/thinking?
He had a great joke about a stallion and a nun called the horses handbrake........and a skit of the John Wayne movie Chism, called John Jizm.....great man.
Imagine Dave Allen and Sir Billy Connolly going head to head on stage -the RCs would be right in the sights! very much the same wonderful observational POV on lifes wee foibles.
Laughing out loud ! I lived through this, what a load of rubbish we were taught ! Glad to be free and still the same person.........and I haven't gone to hell :)
Lol, he's talking about wanking, some may consider that 'dirty' , ( not me if that's what you're thinking) He is a funny bugger though and it's so nice to hear a comedian that can stay well away politics and just joke about everyday life.
I love how he always ended his routine by saying “May your god be with you”. Although he was an atheist, he still respected tghose in the audience who were still believing in a god.
He didn't always conclude by saying "may your God go with you". Very rarely he said "and if you have one, may your God go with you" Not quite the same thing and very Dave Allen
To have decided to go to England at nineteen to learn English was really worse it to be able to understand humour of this wonderful man, as well as Monty Python and of course George Carlin… Thank you….
ed His TV shows ran from the 1960s to the 80s on main BBC or ITV channels. Not censored, but probably after 9.00, I don’t remember the time but loved the programmes.
neil farmer boagi Rubbish. Nearly everyone over the age of 60 would be delighted to have Dave Allen showing on our TVs.......and there are a lot of us 😊!
This man was so hilarious RIP dave allen sadly missed & never forgotten bless you xx
Wish there was a remastered collection of Dave Allen. He was simply the best.
I had the great pleasure of attending a live performance of this remarkable man, I think it was in 1983. Bloody brilliant!
Me too. I saw his show live at the Palais theatre in St Kilda in the early 80s. I was a big fan of his comedy
Thnx TH-cam for showing Dave Allen, the best comic ever😂😂😂😂😂❤️
You want to watch Billy Connolly
I loved watching and listening to this guy in the 60's ,as a kid.I could never get enough of his wry observational humour.

And it's still funny in 2024.
@@daintree98 He was brilliant 👏
Probably the best standup comedian ever.... humour, timing, ironi, religion and so on …. you name it, it's all there.
Irony
Agreed👍😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️

I could not say it better☺️....
He's always great
Rest peacefully great performer ❤️
Dave I needed this mate. Thank you
R.I.P. DAVE ALLEN. ROCKED WITH LAUGHTER !!! HILARIOUS!! GREATLY MISSED !!!! THE IRISHMAN WITH SUPER CHARM. FROM U.K.(2021).
Dave Allen and George Carlin were masters. Both brilliant. We need more people like them.
100% spot on agree = the best an ill put Pryor there as my top 3
Regrettably society is full of snowflakes today that would be offended by it
@@anubis6864imbeciles
Eddie Izzard and Billy Connelly. Great British comedians.
@@jameshickey1294 Agree. And Rodney Dangerfield! The best!
No matter how many times I watch this it just has this nice vibe.
I wish we could have people like him today to tell us jokes.
We have funny comedians,but most are bellow his level.
I just love his jokes they just make me feel happy allday
There's no stand up comedian i know of who's on his level
The trouble with the world today is we have lost the ability to laugh. Dave Allen was a brilliant man.
dave gregory fuck you stupid
So true. I him and his way to tell it as it is without ever offending anyone. An amazing talent
No we laugh at the crap on tv4 itv 2 to name a few
Along with Billy conolly the best and funniest comedians ever ..my jaw aches with laughter...brilliant 👏👏
Billy Connolly Lol 😂😂😂
DAVE DIDN'T NEED OBSCENITY
During the early to mid seventies when I was studying in U.K. in spite of heavy study schedule I would always spare time to watch Dave Allen show on telly
Used to watch him as a teenager with my dad...cracked us up....wish I'd thought to play these videos for my dad in the past few years....brilliant.
T Ross I do myself R.I.P X
Comedy was so much better when I was younger --- a true comedian
He is SO funny, and as a liberal catholic myself I love his digs at the Catholic Church !
Absolutely Brilliant comic I can remember watching Dave Allen. Many years ago what a difference today days comics. In those Days their was no pc . Not like today
No wonder the world is such a mess - we lost Dave Allen...
It's not the only thing that was lost, sad but very true
I second that 😢
One of the best comedians we ever had i loved watching his show is good to re-watch and have a good laugh

as a kid only comedian that had me wanting more extremely funny and very much missed
Better late than never Solidfact42! We're so fortunate to be able to relive his hilarious moments on TH-cam these days and in the future!
There are so many ❤️😂😂😂😂
I used to beg my Mum to let me stay up and watch Dave Allen he was in my opinion the most funny comedian ever.
He’s one of the best against the catholic establishment in a great way. Brilliant master of standup & revered atheist!
You were great Dave allen no one like you brilliant

Great 😂😂
Absolutely PRICELESS!!! 👍👍👍👍🏴🏴
He should have been prime minister, or manager of Scotland.😊😊
Just a genius. Thanks for posting this.
Truly one of his best comedy! 🤣🤣🤣

Fantastically witty and what a truly wonderful way to end!
What an incredible intelligent comedian making fun with pure science! We do miss you Dave! May God bless you always 🙏
I’ve watched you Dave since I was a child😂😂 I found you hilarious then, and now I’m a grandma, and still piss myself laughing😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
just saw this guy randomly ..and i must say nothing today comes close to his humor . what a find
Michael M comes to mind.
Dave Allen did have a comedy half hour look up his name, he is a real life comedian love him x
You must be so young. He is as famous as Chaplin ...
He was such a naturally witty man and what I admire most about his humour was its kindliness and gentleness, qualities that applied to him equally as a person. He was a lovely guy.

One of The Truly Great comedians of all time!
I agree, an excellent natural comedian
The finest, the one an only!! No equells,no comparsions!!! He was to comedy,what the beatles were to music!! We will never see his like again??? A genius an legend in the true sense of word!!! R.I.P Dave!! God bless!! Hope your making them laugh where ever you may be??
Absolutely brilliant , never laughed so much 😀🎉
The best standup ever

Dave Allen is great for cheering u up when a bit down in the dumps 👍🍀🍀🍀🕊🎭🤣❤️🙋♀️🧚♀️
A fine example of the comedic genius of Dave at his best. By God I miss him. R.I.P. Dave Allen.
This really is as a great as when I first saw it on TV
Always has made me laugh...well done.
He is (was) one of my fav standups.
he is the best, he will be realy missed.
RIP Dave Allen and may your jokes live forever.
GONE TOO SOON................. Nothing compares !
RIP. Shame really, Dave Allan was really loved.
A master class comedian. By God I miss him. Today's comedians aren't in the hunt.
The guy was a fuckin' master. It's all about just telling the truth and then waiting for the people to comprehend. How many years will it take to come clean about the rest of the things we have all been groomed into doing/thinking?
I'd love to find this version of the theme tune. I absolutely love it.
Dave Allen is still in my explanation for my essay. Xxxxxxxx
He was a genius . Miss him a fellow Irish person taken too soon 😒
Dave Allen was great. I use to love watching him on tv 👍👍👍
He had a great joke about a stallion and a nun called the horses handbrake........and a skit of the John Wayne movie Chism, called John Jizm.....great man.

Can’t think of a better comedian period
Imagine Dave Allen and Sir Billy Connolly going head to head on stage -the RCs would be right in the sights! very much the same wonderful observational POV on lifes wee foibles.
Laughing out loud !
I lived through this, what a load of rubbish we were taught !
Glad to be free and still the same person.........and I haven't gone to hell :)
This is so funny...not offensive or dirty at all. Love Dave Allen!
No-one could be offended by that, well, maybe someone could. That would be their bad luck.
Lol, he's talking about wanking, some may consider that 'dirty' , ( not me if that's what you're thinking)
He is a funny bugger though and it's so nice to hear a comedian that can stay well away politics and just joke about everyday life.
2020: Hold my beer.
lord.....could you imagine dave allen,robin williams and george carlon all on stage together?????
Maxx Madd add bill Hicks and Sam kinison and it’d be the greatest comedy playbill ever.
Allan and Williams are on completely different levels. R. Williams is slapstick
Add Don Rickles and you would not be able to get off the floor.
It's Carlin.
@Wolfreespirit Rebel George "Carlin"
Dave's genius will never die. The same can't be said of his sperm army I'm sorry to say!
Wonderful Dave 🤩
I'm from Dublin he is the best ever so funny my family love him I love his horror stories😅
This is absolutely divine.
Loved this guy. Total genius.
Cracking up,never seen anything quite like it.😁😳
Very clever comedian and a nice Guy too. Don't see them any more.
R.I.P Dave you are still loved and missed
Absolute brilliant!
LOVE him!! And the great thing is, I can indulge whenever I feel like it as long as I live 😃
V v funny, much missed guy!
great humour - all well told - I miss you Dave.
It would be great for everyone to see replayed on tv
His skill and humour was generous kind
And after the performance left you with a great happiness
I was educated in the catholic institution for practically 16 years of my life ... which brings me to drink.
Intro couldn't be better.
I was waiting for him to mention The Pill. They make it to the target and there's nothing there!
Classic comedian, stand the rest of time.
In my day it was going blind ... love his comedy and miss it. Shucks I am starting to sound like an old man. 😬
Just brill!
I really hope i meet him in the end
While he's making a donation at the sperm bank?
Dave Allen was the best comedian in the entire British history of comedy
He's not British He's Irish
In stitches now
It was a big deal in my house as a kid when Dave Allen was on the telly, great times 😊
LEGEND
I love how he always ended his routine by saying “May your god be with you”. Although he was an atheist, he still respected tghose in the audience who were still believing in a god.
One of the best
The sperm army charges into battle, "which way to the egg?" "I'm not sure, sir. I think those are tonsils just ahead!"
The best....that's all....the best.
Haha!!! Brilliant.
A very special comic who was a master of words 😂
A man before his time.. Genius
Simply brilliant❤
" no carpet, which is understandable" . . . . classic.
Swim from Ireland to America in glue. Haha
Superbly funny man this one :D
Thanks for this posting, Dave Allen still the best! not dated and up there.
Rather than being funny, Dave Allen strikes me now as a nice guy.
This just popped up in my feed, I was absolutely crying with laughing, I miss this legend so much.
He didn't always conclude by saying "may your God go with you". Very rarely he said "and if you have one, may your God go with you" Not quite the same thing and very Dave Allen
you want a PC environment, then you will never laugh like at this+
How could anyone go home and have a good romantic night after watching that with your partner? 🤣😅😂
To have decided to go to England at nineteen to learn English was really worse it to be able to understand humour of this wonderful man, as well as Monty Python and of course George Carlin… Thank you….
And that YOUR GAWD be with you...
Great last words from Dave !
Charge i am going in. Great man R.I.P
Do they actually show things like this on the mainstream UK televisions?
Do they hell 99% of the UK population would be offended with most of this material 😂😂😂😂
