One of very few comedians who can make me roar with laughter. I've been a fan since the first time I saw him on television, several decades ago. He can make me laugh when nothing else can even make me smile.
I had to totally re-learn how to laugh because of Billy Connolly. My old way of laughing was just too painful when he was performing, and I felt as though I was going to do myself some serious damage. Now I laugh from the diaphragm - much safer. 😂🤣
"He can talk for hours without any apparent material." A lot in common with my ex-wife then. Only she never even managed to make me even smile indulgently..... Billy on the other hand.... Makes me roar with laughter!
I have grown up watching Billy. We couldn't wait until Xmas to watch a newly release video and then dvds. It was a family must. Billy is without a doubt a Scottish Treasure. We adore him. X
I had someone try to scare me with "there are ghosts / spirits in this place, so just be careful". Found the best response is "that's fine, I hear voices so it's only right I finally see where they're coming from." Nothing gets someone to shut up quicker.
It would not work for me. I would ask you thoroughly what the voices were telling you and probably write it down. That would make you more interesting.
God's real name is not Percy, God is actually a painter called Harold. I remember it from school... "Our father, do art in Heaven, Harold be thy name...".
Same. I grew up watching Billy on TV with my family. A lot of his material hasn't aged with all the homophobia stuff, but he's still the best comedian to ever comedy
Billy, you are an absolute hero of mine. I've almost died on several occasions because I've not been able to breathe while laughing at your stories. I've seen stars and heard ringing in my ears, and I've loved every moment of it. If the whole world was filled with people just like you it would be a paradise of wisdom and joy. Thank you for every story, every world tour, every record, every show, every moment you've spent bringing laughter and happiness into this world. May your melons be always Afghan, may your soup be always Octopus Arsehole soup, may your incontinence knickers be always fresh, and may you be certain that you're loved and appreciated across the globe.
Yeah. What a joy to have lived in this world along with Sir Billy. People don't know how to laugh any longer, which is sad, but I can always come here and catch my fix of Mr Connolly, which is brilliant!, so thx.
Several of us were crashing over at a friend's place one night after a drinking session, and I woke up early because of the light and found myself, on the floor, next to the stereo. Everyone else was fast asleep. This was before mobile phones or internet (about 1988), so the only thing to do was listen to a tape on the stereo. I found some headphones there and looked through the tapes. I'd grown up without TV, but I'd heard of Billy Connolly and there was a tape by him. So I plugged the headphones in and listened to it, chuckling silently to myself so as not to disturb anyone else. That was, until I got to 'Ivan the Terrible'. I involuntarily laughed so hard I woke everyone else up. Mr Popular I was not.
At first, I thought you were going to describe a ghostly paranormal experience 🤣 I guess Billy is though (paranormal). He’s fabulous; extraordinarily funny, raw and honest! A rare combo and definitely a dying breed.
I heard him on tape too for the first time, in my bosses car driving to a five a side match. I actually couldn't breathe . That would be late 80's early 90's
I could watch Billy forever. He is hysterically funny. That accent is beautiful. Truly a legend!! You have to laugh when "Daddy's working". I hope he remains in good health.
Ain’t gonna lie but Ghost Hunting with the Happy Mondays was probably the best couple hours entertainment I’ve seen since I last saw Billy perform. It was bloody hilarious. Shaun Ryder and Bez pissed up on a ghost hunt was comedy gold.
@@jimbo_1312 There is plenty of photographic and filmed evidence to show he is Scottish. Born and raised in Tunbridge Wells???? With a Scottish accent???? Think man Think. You may be joking, but as what you posted wasn't funny, I assumed you weren't.
The fact that we eventually die absolutely terrifies the living hell out of me Honestly, I'm surprised everyone doesn't run around panicking all the time Do we have something in us that stops us thinking aboyt it too much?
Its frightening when you think ghosts are a load of bullshit.. and then you see one, and the girl whose house it was says "oh was it the little girl" life changing moment.
I am a fortunate one who has seen a real ghost. Never forget it. Late night in bed about age 13. Rolled over and watched the ghost of my dad walk by my bed from foot to head and right through my bedroom wall... 58 now and the memory is as vividly seared into my mind as it was the night it happened. I have no doubt I could pass a polygraph with ease. Dad died 40 years later.... THEY DON'T FUCKING EXIST! (I WAS OBVIOUSLY ASLEEP) ;) But man; as I relate this to you - the memory as I described IS vivid as hell...
'A grey lady walking across the lawn....' that is one of the best BC funniest performances ever. Don't leave us Billy. Ever. Or we'll be even more lost than we already are.
been watching Billy since parky interviews mid 70s... love him ... he's still funny in his recent programmes ... I hate to see ill health nibble away at him ... 🥺
Billy Connelly should be hailed and exalted as a “living gem”. So refreshing to see his original and irreverent humour (anyone taking offence at the few “naughty” words should do just as the Dwarf Chieftain Dain said in “The Hobbit” - would you mind just “Sodding Off”)
Billy is my favourite comedian and has been since I first saw him on the tele decades ago. I had bought his records,videos and saw him in Carnegie Hall in NY in the early 90's when I visited NY. I knew he was going to play there. I love Billy!
I was so proud when I found out I was related to Billy. He is my gran's cousin. A proud Scot she was and so disgusted in Billy's humour she never told us :)
I absolutely adore his humour! It's a magnificent talent he has for making everything sound so ridiculous - but true! When my time comes I want to die laughing to his routines! Love you Big Yin. x

I simply couldn't keep up.....still laughing at the very first funny lines he had uttered ...right through the show, knowing I had to listen hysterically to all the rest of his performance..... exhausted with laughter and in tears at the end.
My great gran came from Great western road (near billy) and Billy’s voice is like listening to my family… takes me back to my childhood in the blink of an eye ❤️ love this lost Glaswegian vocal!
This is what I don't understand, how he is loved so much outside the UK. How he seems to transcend countries. When he breaks into true Glaswegian or even light Scottish... How do they follow him. E.g. how would anyone know what a fish supper is ? Just amazing his world following ... And we are all better for it ...
I've had several people tell me my rustic little cottage is haunted by one of the previous occupants. Someone told me the ghost is of a little old man who died upstairs. Trouble is, the cottage has only existed for fifteen years, I'm the second person to live here, the previous occupant is alive and well and the building that was here before was someone's car shed.
Billy now says and i quote "It's as if I'm being prepared for something, some other adventure, which is over the hill. I've got all this stuff to lose first, and then I'll be at the shadowy side of the hill doing the next episode in the spirit world."😀
Saw him live, I was glad when he went off stage, I had no energy left from laughing so much. Billy, Dave Allen and Ronnie Barker - unparalleled comedy. My Mum thought Billy had a "filthy mouth", but came close to piddling herself whenever he was on telly anyway.
I'm considering entering the Catholic church and before after and during I will pray for the joyous soul of Mr. Connolly. I I don't die in the his friendship, I am nothing.
If it wasn't for RUclips then the under 20's would never know what it is like to have real humour on a stage making people laugh until they get a hernia in the way Sir Billy Connollydoes.
There's no idea to be sold. Religion is a man made invention. There is no such thing as meaning. Your life is meaningless as is mine. When we die we return to the nothing from which we came.
This is pretty impressive, though the material would not come across in a transcript. This man has amazing charisma. I thought that he was tied with Patrick McGoohan for best Columbo Villain in the revived version. Subtle acting touches. At the end, ever the good sport he asks: "Mr. Columbo, can you recommend a prison with a good music programme"? And his distinct resemblance to John Cleese made me reflect on what a brilliant Columbo Villain Cleese would have made. Columbo vs. Basil Fawlty. Maybe he finally Jack Lemon'd his wife...
He'd love our house. Stuff goes flying off shelves, scooting across the floor. Books move themselves on the bookshelves. Doesn't bother me, and I don't know much about "ghosts" but there's definitely something going on haha.
True story. I worked at a multi-plex, and several co-workers told me that one particular theater was haunted by a little girl. Decades ago, there was a fire; she was the only victim. They felt her presence from time to time. Sometimes, co-workers would spot something moving out of the corner of their eyes. First off, please, never drop something that heavy on my lap. I lose sleep over s**t like that. Secondly, I'm not a religious man. However, whenever I entered that particular theater by myself, I politely greeted her and asked how her day was. I didn't want to take any chances. It was enough I had to deal with obnoxious customers and idiot bosses. The last thing I needed was a PO'ed ghost giving me trouble.
I went to see him once at The King's Theatre as I also saw him in an episode of Columbo in Murder In Too Many Notes I am dedicating this TV series called Columbo to my old school friends who are both sisters as I hope to see them both again very soon to Chris and Hester from Billyxxxxx
Legend. Americans and Brits have their own comics and typically stick to there own. Billy transcends both and is truly the definition of 'legend'. Brilliant.
All they should need in the dictionary for the definition of "legend" is a picture of Billy Connolly. Nobody in their right mind could argue with that I reckon. A Scottish, British, EARTHLY fucking treasure, no two ways about it.
@@SpicyTexan64 Richard Pryor is dead, Billy isn't. If Richard Pryor were a legend why is it a lot of people have never heard of him. He was junkie, not a legend.
For two summers, I worked as a reenactor / tour guide at Fort William Henry in Lake George. This was the place where they had the siege and later the massacre in 1757, what was in the film Last of the Mohicans. When I worked there, never any issues, nothing. They later brought in some ghost hunters, whatever, and now of course, there's ghosts there, they do ghost tours, I know one person who keeps telling me he's heard stuff, seen stuff etc. when he visits. It's a gimmick used to sell t-shirts and nonsense and to try and bring in people because the historical aspect doesn't bring in as many as it used to.
Some historical sites have the opposite problem. If a tourist spots something strange, tour-guides take them aside and ask that they not say anything. It's apparently bad for business.
2:05 - This applies even more to Most Haunted now in 2022. A show which has now become a parody of itself. They are now relegated to their RUclips channel, as no respectable TV station wishes to be associated with them anymore after a decade or more of blatant fakery by their own production team, including Karl Beattie, who likes to throw knives around pretending it was a ghost who did it.
The most haunted episode that made me laugh out loud was the one in Venice. The presenters were in a small boat on the Venetian lagoon. The asked the spirits of the lagoon (in English) to knock underneath the boat. The ‘spirits’ obliged, maybe they were English spirits or maybe when you are a spirit you become multilingual!
is that right????? ruclips.net/video/Pq3wZAZHPkM/видео.html look dust particles and moths much like my channel icon that just people warped imaginations
@@junemoses5359 I remember the one where Derek Acorah and the Most Haunted team ended up in Egypt and Derek got "possessed" by an Egyptian high priest who spoke remarkably good English, not bad considering the priest in question had been dead for well over 2000 years. It was cringe worthy and you could see the museum curator wasn't remotely impressed with his bullshit.
Was my nan who got me into billy when I was about 12 (naughty nan😂) and been hooked ever since. Nans passed now so always think of her when I watch him
I seem to remember a joke about someone finding living organisms in their belly button lint. They said it was a Belly Colony. Seriously, what makes Billy such a good comedian is that he is a shrewd observer of human behaviour. The American comedian George Carlin is no longer extant, but his humour lives on on the interwebs. I'm sure many people will find that even though they may have never met, Billy and George were both able to see the world in a similarly unconventional way. It's not just about making us laugh, it's also about making us think. The best comedians are also philosophers, imo.
Was he smashing your wife? If not that's very worrying behaviour to say that to someone you don't even know. Speak to someone about that before the wrong person serves you up.
My ex wife loved Derek Acorah and his dickhead side kick - one of the many reasons we're divorced, living with someone who believes in so much shite has to be a mistake😆
My best friend was a pioneer of the "Ghostbusters" fan community, his prop building of proton packs/ghost traps w/pedals, ect. Anyway, I noticed him putting an awful lot of energy into paranormal research about ten years back. I tried to reason with him: " This Ghostbusters equipment isn't real. All the great props that you made have lights and sounds in them, they're props from a movie." He responded: "Those aren't the tools that I use during investigations." Chilled me to the bone, that.

Because it's Reddit brain stuff. People desperately shouting atheist slogans don't really sell the idea and aren't funny either.
There's no idea to be sold. Religion is a man made invention. There is no such thing as meaning. Your life is meaningless as is mine. When we die we return to the nothing from which we came.
I don't know if it's the hair, the lighting, or the voice but it was like "Holy crap - I'm watching John Cleese?" I adore them both!
He’s one of a kind. He’s the only comedian who makes me laugh every time🤣
Legend ! Cheers
A true legend
Wonderful man
Just superb, love billy
i just love Billy Connolly, makes me laugh every time.
Billy is a living Legend.
One of the greatest wee mental man ever 👏 ❤️ 🙌 💙 👌 ♥️ 👏 😊
this has me doubled up. the grey lady walking across the garden and Derek Acorah speaking to his guru hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha my face hurts
Billy’s humour is so natural and brilliant
Very funny man, thanks for the laughter Billy Boy! 🤣
... there's an undeniable energy about this clip...
This is pretty impressive, though the material would not come across in a transcript. This man has amazing charisma.
I thought that he was tied with Patrick McGoohan for best Columbo Villain in the revived version. Subtle acting touches. At the end, ever the good sport he asks: "Mr. Columbo, can you recommend a prison with a good music programme"?
And his distinct resemblance to John Cleese made me reflect on what a brilliant Columbo Villain Cleese would have made. Columbo vs. Basil Fawlty. Maybe he finally Jack Lemon'd his wife...
He'd love our house. Stuff goes flying off shelves, scooting across the floor. Books move themselves on the bookshelves. Doesn't bother me, and I don't know much about "ghosts" but there's definitely something going on haha.
Billy tells an awesome story. The way he does is so funny
That was so original, well done. Snicker.
Absolute legend
Thanking God I have had his humor in my life.
But he don't believe in God percy.. :D
@@villainuday5365 God believes in him though.
@@francestomic2772 that's reassuring:)
Per se
@@Chriswallace0405 no my friend, it's percy..
True story. I worked at a multi-plex, and several co-workers told me that one particular theater was haunted by a little girl. Decades ago, there was a fire; she was the only victim. They felt her presence from time to time. Sometimes, co-workers would spot something moving out of the corner of their eyes.
First off, please, never drop something that heavy on my lap. I lose sleep over s**t like that. Secondly, I'm not a religious man. However, whenever I entered that particular theater by myself, I politely greeted her and asked how her day was. I didn't want to take any chances. It was enough I had to deal with obnoxious customers and idiot bosses. The last thing I needed was a PO'ed ghost giving me trouble.
Why would you fear a child?
Oh how I love this man. 😀
That's just creepy.
The funniest man to ever grace us
How would you know that, do you know every comedian who ever existed?
@@irbennett err
Nobody says 'fuck' like a comedian, and no comedian says 'fuck' like Billy. What a master. :¬)
And then as far as writing "fuck", there's James Kelman, another Glaswegian.
I went to see him once at
The King's Theatre as I also saw him in an episode of Columbo in
Murder In Too Many Notes
I am dedicating this TV series
called Columbo to my old school friends who are both sisters as I hope to see them both again very soon to Chris and Hester from Billyxxxxx
Billy:
Genuinely brilliant and funny, merciless to fools and con artists.
Legend. Americans and Brits have their own comics and typically stick to there own. Billy transcends both and is truly the definition of 'legend'. Brilliant.
All they should need in the dictionary for the definition of "legend" is a picture of Billy Connolly. Nobody in their right mind could argue with that I reckon.
A Scottish, British, EARTHLY fucking treasure, no two ways about it.
@@w0bbl3rRichard Pryor was a legend. This guy is humorous
@@SpicyTexan64 Richard Pryor is dead, Billy isn't. If Richard Pryor were a legend why is it a lot of people have never heard of him. He was junkie, not a legend.
Absolutely brilliant. Hiya from the Netherlands.
You watch his stuff over and over and still laugh loudly, even though u know the lines
awesome ...so glad to be in the family
My god, Billy Connolly and I think the absolute same, thank you for posting this 😂
He's admitted to believing in an afterlife recently
@@SamuelBlack84 link ?
@@1man1bike1road It was a report on Yahoo News a few months ago

@@Sasquiny Regardless
For two summers, I worked as a reenactor / tour guide at Fort William Henry in Lake George. This was the place where they had the siege and later the massacre in 1757, what was in the film Last of the Mohicans. When I worked there, never any issues, nothing. They later brought in some ghost hunters, whatever, and now of course, there's ghosts there, they do ghost tours, I know one person who keeps telling me he's heard stuff, seen stuff etc. when he visits. It's a gimmick used to sell t-shirts and nonsense and to try and bring in people because the historical aspect doesn't bring in as many as it used to.
Some historical sites have the opposite problem. If a tourist spots something strange, tour-guides take them aside and ask that they not say anything. It's apparently bad for business.
Billy should have been Prime Minister. Imagine it.
“ The French are upsetting our fishermen”
“Tell them to Fuck off”
@@mynameisGail I think he'd be quite happy to stay in europe
@@mynameisGail that must be why a majority of Scots voted to stay in the eu, unless the vote was obviously an SNP plot 🤔

@@mynameisGail I don't and I don't know anybody who does.
Maybe if you live in Larkhall..
@@mynameisGail well if you don’t vote you can’t complain with what you get
Love Billy ❤ so much!!!!
2:05 - This applies even more to Most Haunted now in 2022. A show which has now become a parody of itself. They are now relegated to their RUclips channel, as no respectable TV station wishes to be associated with them anymore after a decade or more of blatant fakery by their own production team, including Karl Beattie, who likes to throw knives around pretending it was a ghost who did it.
Very true 😂😂👌
The most haunted episode that made me laugh out loud was the one in Venice. The presenters were in a small boat on the Venetian lagoon. The asked the spirits of the lagoon (in English) to knock underneath the boat. The ‘spirits’ obliged, maybe they were English spirits or maybe when you are a spirit you become multilingual!
didn't know they were still going! cringe!!
is that right????? ruclips.net/video/Pq3wZAZHPkM/видео.html look dust particles and moths much like my channel icon that just people warped imaginations
@@junemoses5359 I remember the one where Derek Acorah and the Most Haunted team ended up in Egypt and Derek got "possessed" by an Egyptian high priest who spoke remarkably good English, not bad considering the priest in question had been dead for well over 2000 years. It was cringe worthy and you could see the museum curator wasn't remotely impressed with his bullshit.
Billy Connolly is to stand up comedy what Elvis was to rock and roll. May the king of comedy material never die😀😀😀.
He will.
If he does, then it'll be on the bog.
Best review of Most Haunted that I've ever seen!🤣 God bless you, Billy.
The Big Man. Love him 🤘🏻🤘🏻
The greatest of all time. No one beats Billy.
How do you know he's the greatest of all time? Do you know everybody who's lived on this planet? Didn't think so. SFU.
Was my nan who got me into billy when I was about 12 (naughty nan😂) and been hooked ever since. Nans passed now so always think of her when I watch him
OMG the Scottish equivalent of George Carlin. 💝 IT‼️
I miss me some good old fashioned, down to earth reality, in your face George Carlin!
I seem to remember a joke about someone finding living organisms in their belly button lint. They said it was a Belly Colony. Seriously, what makes Billy such a good comedian is that he is a shrewd observer of human behaviour. The American comedian George Carlin is no longer extant, but his humour lives on on the interwebs. I'm sure many people will find that even though they may have never met, Billy and George were both able to see the world in a similarly unconventional way. It's not just about making us laugh, it's also about making us think. The best comedians are also philosophers, imo.
Great take. You're spot on.
I saw Derek acorah in Dublin airport once and always regretted not calling him a piece of shit to his face
Was he smashing your wife? If not that's very worrying behaviour to say that to someone you don't even know. Speak to someone about that before the wrong person serves you up.
My ex wife loved Derek Acorah and his dickhead side kick - one of the many reasons we're divorced, living with someone who believes in so much shite has to be a mistake😆
@@Luton-Mick The guy was right. Derek Acorah was a wanker. And there's no mistaking for someone else.
Saw Bily in Melbourne in the 90's on the WRECKONTOUR show,and never laughed so hard in all my life...
THANK YOU BILLY 🙏
My best friend was a pioneer of the "Ghostbusters" fan community, his prop building of proton packs/ghost traps w/pedals, ect. Anyway, I noticed him putting an awful lot of energy into paranormal research about ten years back. I tried to reason with him: " This Ghostbusters equipment isn't real. All the great props that you made have lights and sounds in them, they're props from a movie." He responded: "Those aren't the tools that I use during investigations."
Chilled me to the bone, that.
Anyone who "investigates" the paranormal is a tool. 😁
