Why have we become so prudish? We used to watch and laugh our heads off with all of these amazing comedy sketches. We were the lucky generation. Everything is sadly so horribly dull now. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Seeing this at 59 ..remember at ..from Sweden at 10-11 year and loved his humour, specieally the chirch..I understand him.not eveything but he was ,those who speak out.I new it then and know it now! God Bless kind eyes😊❤.
@@bobblowhard8823Dave actually reminds me of Rowan Atkinson. Watching these again, i am amazed at how clever the comedy is, and how well it is delivered. Atkinson does that too. True gems…
My mum hated him as she was a catholic and thought he mocked THE CHURCH dreadfully, but now as a VERY liberal catholic myself I find him HILARIOUS ! Sadly missed ! What a wit !
A bar I used to hang out years ago always had a small crowd on Sunday nights. If there were more than 5 people there that was a big crowd. Anyway at 10:30 PM the Dave Allen show would come on our Public TV station and we'd all watch it and laugh like hell. Loved the opening sketches and his continual monologue. He was a comedic genius and was taken too soon. RIP Dave and cheers..
Never thought I would see this again. Has to be the 1st comedian I ever watched. Used to be on PBS where I grew up. I remember laughing so hard, nothing has changed. Did a search for 9 fingered comedian cause the one joke that stuck with me was where he was stirring his drink with his middle finger and said he used to use his index finger but it ate it off. 😂 shame he is gone RIP.
to this day im 62 and watched Dave all of my life and the one thing that still makes me look twice is his missing finger i cant help it i think he was the first person i saw with a missing body part and i still do a double take
Dave Allen was a genius best comedian ever to have walked this earth the most hilarious man ever doesn’t matter how many times I watch him I laugh and giggle so much and always will world class comedian missed beyond words 😢x
Now available on the KPM album The Big Beat, reissued thru Tummy Touch a couple years ago (previously unavailable commercially). I got a copy a few days ago, full of memorable themes & killer Hammond organ. The tune is called "Studio 69".
@@Lee-nh5bb Yes, it seems to have that alternate title, I've seen that too, tho on the KPM album it's called Studio 69, probably to appear 'hip' & 'with it' as that's when it was recorded...one heck of an album too!
What a treasure this was! I will save it and let my old da see it. He'll get the references too! But oh... have I learned how to laugh since I first laughed with Dave Allen... Sorrow, hardship and grief do indeed hone humor - and my adult sons don't understand me anymore. They'd better get a grip. Cheers, All!
Dylan Thomas, a fellow celt, said, "An alcoholic is someone you don't like, who drinks as much as you do." I do hope I quoted him correctly as six pints of orange juice and the kiwi shots have left me confused.
In my time i have seen comedy provide us with great laughter and social comentary which has been a vehicle to aid awareness and be more accepting of each other, comedy is a great way of breaking down barriers and causing us to take a look at ourselves while providing great laughter and entertainment. Wokeism sadly shuts down and kills humour and leaves isues festering and unadressed. Woke stupidity makes us angry and problems worse. I am a European who has lived in india, speaks Hindi and has earnt the right to speak in an indian accent, my Indian friends love it!! but the woke wankers say I cannot speak in another accent that is not the same as my skin colour. Does this mean Indians should no longer be allowed to speak English??? Dave Allen had a brilliant comedic mind and gifted us with laughter and entertainment the likes of which we might never be allowed to see again if wokes gain too much traction. Wokeism is sad and serious and wears the face of a smacked arse.
The running out of the library to scream in pain sketch reminds me of Tom in Tom and Jerry when hed run out of the house and up a nearby hill to scream before coming back to try and catch Jerry again.
I honestly wonder how that brilliant man got away with some of stuff he did, I still miss is humour I've never found anyone or heard anyone like him? He was the best and still is. We'll what ever God he's with I bet that great man is making him laugh.
And to think at the time, many found this controversial. I loved this show as a kid, and I'm laughing just as hard now. Dave Allen was a comedy genius!
The Leprechaun joke I heard in a different way: A woman was in an ugly divorce and decided that she needed a break from all that. So she booked a vacation to a tropical island. While she walked down the shore and admiring the beautiful sunset, her feet suddenly hit some solid item. She looked down and found a mysterious bottle at her feet, half buried in the sand. She picked it up and found that It looked like it was very old. When she looked closer, it was like there was a kind of misty swirl inside of the bottle. So she took the bottle with her to her hotel room. There she opened the bottle, and the misty swirl came out of the bottle and spoke to her. "I am the genie of this bottle, I have been locked inside of this bottle by an evil sorcerer. I don't even remember how many centuries I have been locked inside this bottle. But the moment I was locked in I made a vow that whatever person would set me free, I would grand them three wishes." The woman thought about that and, being aware that people who get all their wishes granted are not nessicarily the better off, asked the genie "what is the downpart of this deal?" The genie, who had at that time understood that she was smart, replied : "Whatever you wish for... your husband gets DOUBLE because the two of you are still legally married." The woman thought some more and then said: "I want a 2 million dollar house at the ocean, with all the luxuries that all the Jet Set people have". The genie handed her the appropiate papers of ownership etc. Meanwhile her husband was astonished to find TWO sets of ownership documents of Jet Set beach houses... "Wish numer 2" said the genie. "Okay," the woman said, "I want a treasure chest that, no matter how much money I take out of it, will never have less than 2 million dollars inside". Instantly she had that chest, while her husband was very surprised to find TWO chests at his appartment, each labelled "never emptying treasure chest"... "third and last wish" said the genie. The woman thought hard and deep about that final wish. She thought about her marriage. About what she had invested in it. Paying for his scholarship. Trying to make ends meet. Spending everything she had to make him happy. And finding she had been replaced by a younger woman who had all the traits that she herself once had. Before she gave everything to him... A smile appeared on her face. It spread all over her body and the entire room, when she replied to the genie: "Scare me HALF to death!"
Brilliant mind is self aware without losing integrity or going insane when dealt blow its all been done. Hard to imagine another. A great coup for Ireland if he was actually their leader. Because kept out of violence people followed kept up competition standard. Since he went from our sight but only that his predictions of mayhem stupidity were fulfilled simply because he held an iron rod. Kindness with firmness sensitivity as he could empathise with less able and certain women hoped he would role model a large sector of men. I feel no emptiness as he gave the lot. If he was a bit of God we won't know until we become that. He did it all with ease. Everyone adored his show. Xxxxx

Hard to believe that this was over half a century ago.
How sane the 1970's world was. Glad I lived through it. Dave Allen if you've reincarnated please come out to play again. 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🧙😂
Oh yes please. 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
Absolute genius, I'm.60 and I watched him,I get it more now,I was only about 10,ridiculously funny
And jokes could be made without self-righteous folks getting their panties in a bunch. I LOVED seeing the world through comedian's eyes, and still do.
University in the 70’s. We raced home on Wednesday to watch this. Laughed our heads off. ❤️❤️❤️
52 years later his sense of humour is still brilliant. If I need a lift in spirits,I watch him. Sadly missed but at least we can watch him here.
The guy was a genius at telling a story, he brought you right into the story till the end, and you thought you bugger
So much better than the so called comics we have to put up with today . Old school is best.😊😊
I remember watching Dave Allen with my parents when I was a teenager. Loved him then and still crack up laughing now ❤️
Same! He was brilliant.
Good old days sadly mist 😊
52 years old and still funny from a comedy genius
57 and I never missed it as a kid. I would watch him after Benny Hill. If only my parents knew what I was watching that late at night....
@@donnwonderling Oh yes the great Benny Hill
If only life were really like this all the time. I miss Dave Allen.
Me too. The only priest joke I ever memorized came from him - when I was a teenager.
Referred to Dave st my fathers eulogy this week he was 91, Dave was a classic
Love Dave Allen, wish he was still around.

@@waliahmadwali1012001 Sadly you are probably correct.
Absolutely hilarious. Comedy genius at its best. I used to watch it back then, still as funny now!!
My dad loved this comedian he watched it everytime it's was on dave allen is and was a legend
Why have we become so prudish? We used to watch and laugh our heads off with all of these amazing comedy sketches. We were the lucky generation. Everything is sadly so horribly dull now. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Hysterical 😂these jokes wouldn’t be allowed today of course
A local station (Seattle) used to play these in the early 1980s. Love seeing them again.
The man was a comic god sadly missed rip
Absolute genius, and sadly missed the world over
dave you were one funny guy we just haven't got comedy like it now may your god go with you rip were ever you are
50 years later and he still makes me laugh
Best Christmas scheduling ever was when they put Dave Allen on virtually every night.
Wish they would do it again
"Good night, and may your god go with you."
I love that double meaning!
+selvmordspilot Good Night & May your God Go With You,!!

Such a shame comedy is dead in the water now. Loved revisiting these. Something actually made me laugh.
Gosh. Miss this intelligent guy. X
I love Dave Allen ❤️❤️❤️he was and is the best of the best😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Still funny today. Genius.
Great comedian and storyteller.
I remember watching him as a kid along with Benny Hill, back in the 80s, in the US
I remember a Benny Hill sketch where he spoofs Dave Allen. I haven't seen it in years & I'm trying to find it here on TH-cam.
Thanks for the memories of really great comedy.
So happy that this man is available on utube. Watched every show when I was younger. I had a huge crush on this man.
so did I
Awesome sketches, Allen was an amazing presenter of comedy, great charisma..jousting on trains!!!
Still one of the funniest men alive or dead.
No-one evens comes close to Dave 😊 His style was so subtle and clever.
Except perhaps Benny Hill, the crew of "Monty Python's Flying Circus", and Rowan Atkinson.
@@bobblowhard8823Dave actually reminds me of Rowan Atkinson. Watching these again, i am amazed at how clever the comedy is, and how well it is delivered. Atkinson does that too. True gems…
I really wish they would release a complete remastered dvd collection of Dave Allen.
They did.
how can anyone not like this, pure genius
My mum hated him as she was a catholic and thought he mocked THE CHURCH dreadfully, but now as a VERY liberal catholic myself I find him HILARIOUS !
Sadly missed ! What a wit !
I only just found Dave Allen this week. WHAT CLASS.

Grabbing a utube tune in 2024, getting drunk until you receive your next delivery at your front door.
Great storyteller, great comedian, and also very good looking guy 😊
When I first saw Dave back then, I had never seen anything so funny in my life
Never thought I would see this again. Has to be the 1st comedian I ever watched. Used to be on PBS where I grew up. I remember laughing so hard, nothing has changed.

And no political nonsense. Love this man.
Pure genius!
and he was such a handsome fellow
God I loved it when he did the drunk impersonations.
I loved his shows. Brilliant! 🤩
And no swearing in those days...
to this day im 62 and watched Dave all of my life and the one thing that still makes me look twice is his missing finger i cant help it i think he was the first person i saw with a missing body part and i still do a double take
I never noticed it before. Now I have to re-watch it 😂.
@@teresahooks3746 its the forefinger on his left hand the one he would pick his nose with if he was a lefty

This young Irishman is a great storyteller 🎭📗
Used to watch him all the time, glad he's on utube, in my 60's now
Funny, but the only sketch i remembered was the one with the cannibals. Sure miss classic comedy shows like this. Bless you for uploading.
Here lies the very heart of every Irish and Scottish and more of comedians, since the 1960s just saying xxx AM I WRONG?
this is 50, 60 years ago... classic
So glad we have videos as sadly he is gone and tv doesnt show him😢

Top man! Always loved his dress sense.
