He didn't need to be a comedian, he's gifted in music. He didn't need to be a musician, he's gifted in comedy
Netflix needs to give this guy a special.
dumaskhan 6 months and we’re still waiting
He's already released 7 specials...
I would be okay if Netflix gave him all the specials.
You do know there are other sources of audio-visual entertainment than Netflix right ?
Yeah Bill is funny in a kind way -Netflixs could use more of that
This man is a national treasure

Should be knighted!
Cool Beans 190 not likey wot were they humor bypass patients
Hell Yeah!!
hope he turns it down.. fucking royals
The bald man with the long hair
It hangs down his back like a shower curtain
Or like a cape
Thing is he has been sporting that style for what must be 30 years now!
More like a bowling ball wearing a hula skirt
You been watching Graham Norton ?
'Me no want no AAAAAASSSSSparagus!" -says me ten times a day now.
black bird I’m often heard saying. ‘Me 5foot 9..... Check it, for no apparent reason!
@@jollyboatman hahahahaha! Good one! "Me knew it was a bouillon spoon!" is Yet another one to shout now and then, JUST to keep the cat from getting lazy!!
Me no want no BULLION spoon x
Sorry, he actually said:
Gimme my Lobster man, Me know I'm no AaaaaaaSssssParagus!
'GIMME LOBSSTER x meeee nooo it was a buillion spoon x
He is gifted with perfect pitch and went to the royal academy of music and I am so glad he does this rather than being a straight up musician
Where did you read he went to the Royal Academy of Music? He has an associate diploma from the London College of music. I can't find any reference to the Royal Academy in articles about him eg Wikipedia.
@@PreservationEnthusiast pretty sure he said this on dessert island discs or similar could be my mind playing tricks on real place he does have perfect pitch though play him a note he can name it
@@rasitawinner8203 Correct, he does have perfect pitch. He can also sing any note you care to name, or sing in that key. It's pretty rare. Best musical comedian out there!
I knew Bill was a clever and funny chap, but to blend in a Jamaican Dub 'riddim' with the Downton Abbey theme tune in such a comedic way takes a special talent, he really is a gifted entertainer.
bardcore brought me here
Saw him last night in Portsmouth in his latest show. Bloody brilliant!!

Can confirm our Sirens are indeed played on accordion.
So that's why I didn't get the paramedic job, I can't play accordian.
Yes, and your policemen bump naughty thieves on their heads with baguettes.
honhonhon!
@@SpaceCattttt NO! they sodomized young migrants with a baton...
P.S. I'm not even kidding, it's something that actually happened
@@vangraff3478 With great power comes the temptation of fucking young boys up the ass with a metal stick. And some act on it.
But that's not exclusive to the French police.
Guy is a genius to sit at home composing all this for a few seconds of laughter on stage & with not a swear word uttered. A Genius.

Holy shit that was funny
That is definitely an ' old person' comment
I can hear Rachel Riley in the crowd clicking her camera away😂😂😂
Haha I'm sure this is lost on many folk, bar the chosen ones. .. Very funny :)
😂😂😂
Inexplicably, behind a bush.
Mike Mcp I’m pleased to announce that I am a chosen one too👍🏼

Frenchman here. In Paris one of our most modern and high-tech tramways that looks like a spaceship designed by Starck... announces its stops with accordion music. Yeah, that's who we are. Now excuse me while I go eat some frog legs.
Vous devez éviter les stéréotypes hein.
@@pauljordan4452 les stéréotypes ne sortent jamais de nulle part, mon ami.
un brin d'humour ne fait jamais de mal
That is absolutely fantastic, Monsieur.
Bill has this ability to seem whimsical and utterly bewildered by it all while nailing truly phenomenal piano and intellectual jokes.
So happy he won strictly come dancing, he's so funny and lovely in real life!! He deserves all the love he gets! 😁
I agree, I get that it's a show about dancing, but it's also about *entertainment* and he sure brought that!
WHAT?!?!?! I live in the States and was NOT aware of this!!! I'm a huge Bill Bailey fan, huge dance fan, and have a celeb crush on Bill. So my brain might explode if I try to find this! 😂😂😂🙄😮
I love how all the quotes in the song are taken straight from the show, and they're not even from particularly grand or memorable moments, definitely shows he's a fan of the show, or at least watched it
Does that include the "aaayyyyy rasta" part?
I watched this clip years ago and have always loved it. I’ve just started watching downton and when Carson said bullion spoon I shot here to rewatch this 😂 it’s even funnier now I get all the references
The way he weaves music into his act is brilliant.
His act is centred around music. He is a musician first and foremost, and it is this talent which commands the greatest respect.
Music IS his act..!

Hi
Look up Victor Borge...the original
Knighthood for Bill Bailey he is such a role model and a great entertainer, what a talent
Yes!!!!
Very well said. He's incredibly talented, bringing joy to a huge amount of people. But he won't get it, who will get one is someone whose monthly bonus far outstrips most people's yearly pay, who can also buy (Ahem!!!) his Knighthood!!
When I saw him do this live I swear to the Gods, I was CRYING and my jaw muscles were literally aching from the laughter. The guy is a bloody genius. A true British gem!✨
This is absolutely amazing. He definitely is one of your National Treasures Britain 🇬🇧. What a skill and talent this man’s got. Loved it!!!
As a keyboard player, I admire how much he is physically doing, making it appear effortless. Especially that mean echo that he presses.
"Me 5' 9" check it."
Actually 8n a half
there are many professional musicians you could name with not even half his ability... then add the fact that that he's bloody hilarious and it's no wonder people regard him as a national treasure.
Les Dawson
Dudley Moore
Ironic that he has to perform underneath that name, a million times more talented than McIntyre could ever hope to be.
appreciated, but the difference is clear-cut in this case.
@@sebedee9034 and then some
I don't like McIntyre but anyone who can make £21 million pound a year after tax must have some talent. If he's untalented I wish I had his non-talent and his income.
@@mrbrown2186 It's ******sad that so many people can only enjoy the talents of one by slagging off another in the same breath.
Stewart Lee on MM.
0:55 The French tune is _Sous Le Ciel de Paris ("Under the Skies of Paris")_ by Hubert Giraud (music) and Jean Dréjac (lyrics). It's originally from the soundtrack of the movie of the same name, _Sous Le Ciel de Paris_ (1951).
When I was walking around Paris, I thought, wouldn't it be lovely to hear the accordion. As we crossed the Seine, a man was playing this on an accordion. It encapsulated Paris for me. 🇫🇷
you can hear bill chuckle to himself as the song plays - i bet he laughed out loud when he first wrote xD god i wish i could have heard him while he was creating this haha
I think he's dead inside.
@@doovbaloevera1430 lmao
Assssss-sparigusss. (Evil chuckles on the inside escaping)
Gunna tell my kids this was mozart
Now THAT would be friggin' hilarious XD
Hahaha I actually laughed at your comment and my arl man said what are you laughing at so I showed him and he cried with laughter too you sir are a legend hahaha
I recently saw a poster for a village film club, advertising their showing of the "Downton Abbey" film, and all I could think was "Me knew it was a bouillon spoon!"
This is why the UK rocks. So many talented people performing their art.
Love the UK Union.
Give me lobster, maaan, me no want no aaaaaassssssparagus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quality!
You're a half wit mate. Bet you love 8 out of 10 cats.
+Djerb Erjer my fucking sides
Yeah Bill Bailey got the Jamaican Reggae rhythmic vibes right !👍🔥❤
Thanks for your support and encouragement towards me and my career🌹. I am captivated 🙂
My favorite comedian ever. Creative as hell and doesnt need to tare people apart to get a laugh.
One of our best comedians.
The French siren part of this is pure gold.
I laughed way too hard about the opposide doppler effect sirens
On an old show of his (either Cosmic Jam or Bewilderness) he does this whole thing about how that would be an ambulance going into another dimension. He then does a song in French.
@@FrankyBabes man is on another level!
Bill Bailey is a God!!! A National Treasure! He's bloody brilliant and just amazing. He has the smallest zoo in GB, loves critters, is a bird watcher, plays probably any instrument known to man and WON Strictly!!!m🥰🥰🥰
'Have you done something jolly with your hair?' Me, on the floor laughing.... :)
The programming, mixing, comedy, and the in-depth research; rehearsing and savoring the culture and style of the Jamaican dub played in Britain, was pure genius. It's execution and fruition was exhilarating. This artist had made the most of his musical and comedic prowess, by mixing them together. This is interesting. He knows his musical limits -- but creates a skill contributing to the demolition of the boundaries.

Poor thing. You tried so very hard to sound smart and then you made a dumb spelling mistake.
@@Brinta3: Writing is supposed to soothe the savage soul, challenging him to dig deeper and lifting the reader's spirits to the joy of victory by understanding. ------------- RUclips comments and composition are *global.* It's heartbreaking that many words, UK/US, are spelled differently. A spelling bee champion would be reduced to rubble if he competed in another nation.
Ps: Pray-tell: What world did I misspell?

What did God do to the wiring in this man’s head? The sheer wit and talent.
This video lives rent-free in my head...Bill Bailey is a total legend 🙌 👏
I prefer the reggae version of the *"Downton Abbey"* theme. Sound like a King Tubby dub!
King tubby dub, thanks for that.
yeah!!! "Downtown Abbey: the mistery of butler's ganja"
Augustus Pablo I would say.
Bill Bailey has been a top British comic for many many years. He is the kind of comic that makes me laugh without saying a word, his mannerisms and facial expressions crack me up.
"Sneaky version"
continues to play almost exactly the theme!!
Precisely. ALMOST exactly.
not even close to it though
"Glaciers shootin' past the window." I LOL'd. :)
Words cannot express how much I love this man and what he does
Brilliant! Id watch an entire concert of him making reggae/dub versions of any music!
What about a reggae/dub version of Slayer-Raining blood?
This guy, best thing england ever produced.
+Matt Francis He's so consistently odd and hilarious. He's a comedy genius.
Mark Thomas ..Yep,a Good description..I hav'nt lived in the U.K for quite along time now..And I only saw Bill a handful of times on Q.I mostly I think...I can recall my Bruv waxing Lyrical about hm..And now I realise he was absolutely correct...A unique Style..
Kinda like the iraq war
How about modern parliamentary democracy?
That was the French.
Superstar on Strictly!!!!
A whole new host of fans I hope.
Well done Bill!! We are rootin for yer!!
Today I found Bill Bailey, its a good day =)
Not only is he hilarious but he’s an incredibly talented musician. Double bonus.
Downton Abbey is such a strange phenomenon because as someone who watches alot of British TV, it's not very different from any other period piece ITV/BBC has done before and yet by far it has the biggest international following
Bill Bailey is an absolute national treasure
This is brilliant
"Me five foot nine"
"CHECK IT!"
That French siren was pretty funny. I’d love that as a full song.
He does it as a full song. It's brilliant: ruclips.net/video/oGSNxkCIln0/видео.html
There's a version of it with lyrics uploaded as "Bill Bailey - Sirens - Bewilderness"
First saw him live over 15 years ago. Still think he's excellent
This never fails to put a huge smile on my face every time I watch it. He is the Master!!
Can you believe dis same man won strictly 2020👍👍👍👍
He's our 21st century version of Victor Borge.
Good analogy
ME KNEW IT WAS A BOUILLON SPOON! Sorry if I spelt Bouillon wrong
Nah mate, you nailed it almost like Bill...
I'm glad you wrote this, I was wondering what the hell a Boolean spoon was!
This is the wrong place to be if you're looking for logic.
Sauce :P That could be true OR false.
You all made me laugh so hard ! You made my day
I'd go so far as to say Bill Bailey is the best thing to come out of the UK!!
especially as he is a brilliant musician too
I love his little chuckles during his sketch - he seems to be thoroughly enjoying himself!
Bill Bailey just keeps getting better and better. I've always wanted him to do a Reggae special
Brilliant! An absolute masterpiece of comedy. I am from Africa and I can't understand Michael's comedy or references (different culture I suppose) but this, notwithstanding, I totally get.
The existence of Bill Bailey is a prolonged and bottomless source of contentment for me.
This man is a frickin' genius. ❤️
This makes me think of Dowager Countess Maggie Smith smoking a blunt through long cigarette stick and cruising into town in a Düsenberg
This man is a national treasure. "I'm 5'9", CHECK IT!"
Good thing about Bill Bayley is he does'nt need to rely on bad language to give everyone a laugh.
Nobody relies on bad language but nowt wrong with swearing.
Fuck those twats who need to shitting swear all the cunting time. Ballsack.
Are you ignoring the fact that he secretly added a little swear word in his Reggae?
ASS-paragus.. Hehe.
@CrystalCritter
"I know thousands of words but I still prefer 'fuck'." - Billy Connolly.
Swear words do put emphasis (depending on how you use them) and have evolved to become part of everyday language for hundreds of years. Thinking people swear to shock people and be egdgy or whatever isn't that much of the case with comics anymore. That idea is from a more puritan 1950's TV family outlook, which is a bunch of cunty nonsense, in my opinion. I swear because that's naturally how I talk (as do most people from my area) but I can be eloquent when I want to be. I wouldn't consider myself witless or think I've got a lazy mind. That idea doesn't really have any clout behind it. Generally the opposite is found to be true.
I'm sorry some of us just have a broader vocabulary.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas This man is a genius! You are soooo right, he is a National Treasure and a true comedy great! Xxx
Worthy of the legend slot at Glastonbury. The man is a demi god.
Where's this guy's knighthood. Bloody marvelous. Funny, intelligent, a master of musical comedy.
This man is so talented it makes my head spin . He is SO talented : )
This man is a genius. I saw him once live. So talented as a musician too.
I have no idea how I will do it, but i really want to incorporate 'Me knew it was a bullion spoon' into my vernacular.
Bill B: King of musical comedy. Tim Minchin: Prince of it.
Oh, that's well put!
I love Bill's performances.
"And that, Michael McIntyre, is what talent combined with comedy is..."
He's 100% right. That's exactly what our sirens sound like.
He's such a gifted musician/comedian - what he does with sound, melodies and gags always amazes me. Bill Bailey - Victor Borge - Harpo Marx - (Liberace?) - deserve their own niche.
Back weh babylon, a heavy roots dis I-Jah 😍❤
The winner of 2020 strictly come. Dancing worthy winner and. Deserved it!!! Xx congrats bill 🤘🤘🤘🤘❤❤xx
I'm a huge Downton Abbey fan, and this is b-r-i-l-l-i-a-n-t-!
This guy is a riot and tremendously talented!
He is always so original, he was an instant national treasure!, I would be happy for them to use the Jamaican version on the show
“Have you done something jolly with your hair?”

Bill Bailey (and the crew) deserves a special place in all our hearts. Thank you for so many a reason to find myself rolling on the floor laughing out loud so hard I weep tears of joy.
Brb, dub reggae youtube marathon
8 months later, ControlAllDa1337 is still lost deep in the dub.
No words needed here...(Just let the Musical Talent)-Keep on Giving ......(Yeah/Yeah)
At times I discover great video content, and I think that I will never find that kind of content again. It happened now, thanks Bill!
Total legend. We need more Bill in our lives.
I'd love to hear his full version as an MP3, not only funny - but awesome.
+Mark Thomas I concur!
I saw him live 30 odd years ago , he hasn’t changed one bit
Why do we need drugs when we have Bill.
"ME 5 FOOT 9, CHECK IT!"
Bill is the Best!! Such creativity and so funny! 3:48 is fantastic
man is obviously enjoying himself to the utmost
Now every time I watch downton Abbey ill be thinking of this theme tune
So when is Bill Bailey going to be knighted?
Eralen00 By the unelected sponger in chief? Thinks it might be a while yet lol...
Good fuckin question man.nah they rather give knighthoods to dickheads like david beckham n gary barlow n the like
+ZB6 uk hey you can't have knighthoods without a monarchy, at least it's a constitutional monarchy so there's no Marie Antoinette types
Not convinced he would accept it.
I think it will happen, but it will be in association with his work on wildlife preservation and such.
Biscuit Jah.
I think I've watched this at least half a dozen times in 3 months. It never gets old.
I watched this before and I enjoyed it. Not that I have watched at least 4 seasons of Downton Abbey, I understand it better. Especially the "bullion spoon" bit
