This world needs more people like Dave Allen, sadly missed.
I hadn't thought about Dave Allen in years he was actually my Father's favourite comedian, Dave was a brilliant meandering story teller and very funny with his own Saturday evening BBC show..
Jodi trying so hard not to completely lose it was priceless :-)
Dave Allen is a class comedian. ❤
Pissed means drunk. Angry is pissed off.
yep! bollox means rubbish, the dogs bollox means the best
The final joke about Salman Rushdie - he was an author who wrote a book that offended some Muslims, earning a death threat and forcing him into hiding - Dave Allens act was controversial at the time, both his subject matter often and especially his swearing. This particular routine had a lot of swearing for television of that time, hence him joking he was going to have to join Rushdie in hiding. And indeed it got a lot of flak after broadcast, so his next show he opened by doubling down on it!
Wasn't this the week after he dropped the F bomb so decided to get as much swearing that was acceptable in as possible
If you don't swear or are not used to hearing it used, coming to the UK is going to blow your mind.
I will admit to having a small amount of joy when seeing Americans' faces when they hear the C word used frequently in the UK.
We use the “c” word like please and thankyou 😆
@@dalegreening6476 speak for yourself, you obviously have a dirty mouth !!
Every other word in the US is F.... !!
The Salmen Rushdie mention at the end was about the Beeb reprimanding him on his language
It`s always great to see more reactions to Dave Allen. At some point, please react to the compilations of his best sketches. They used to be shown between his joke telling sections. You will find them as such :- (The Best Of Dave Allen....The Comedy Sketches 1/4), 2/4 etc
He’s got our maaaate down pat! We just call everyone mate whether they’re a friend or foe doesn’t matter it’s all in the tone!
We in the the UK quite often say “no shit” If some states something obvious we reply sarcastically “no shit Sherlock”
My experience of Americans directly is quite small, but the few I have known and worked with leads me to believe they can't put two word together without swearing. It was constantly like being in the film Goodfellows.
Maaaate is the most useful and varied word in the Australian vernacular. It can express every emotion and nuance know to humans. It's all about context and intonation...
Luvved reference to Maaaate. Its possibly the most common term at any ALP meeting. Keef in Orstraaaalia
*australian? English yes
@@gavinhall6040 We do the best with what we know..., maaate. 🙂
@@jillelliott8175 If a aussie doesn't call you mate there's something wrong with you... Even a copper writing you a speeding ticket will call you mate (unless you're giving them a gob full)...🙂
In the UK and Ireland pissed means several different things based on the context: "pissed" = drunk. "pissed-off" means very angry, "piss-off" means to tell someone to go-away, "taking the piss" means someone is taking advantage of you, or being very sarcastic, "piss-head" is referring to a drunk person, "piss-taker" is referring to someone who takes advantage of a situation or person for nefarious gain. There are probably a few more versions of the word but please bear in mind that it has many connotations over here all depending on the situation in hand
That was some good shit. Nice job😊
Dave Allen was a wonderful Irish comedian. Another one is gone too soon. More Dave Allen, please. Hello 👋 from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤ Here in ireland, if you say How's the crack do you have any crack it doesn't mean the drug. It's how you are, any news or we had great fun. We spell crack craic. It can get us into trouble.
Pixxed as a fart is huge in the UK to explain someone who is really drunk everybody uses this term.
Guys.. seriously... "teaching your kid to tell the time" you won't regret it
Hi guy's it was so good I'm watching again 😊
We all loved Dave Allen
Brilliant Comedian
This routine is from 1988 and came a week after he'd concluded one of his sketches on TV with the word 'fuck' which caused a hug number of complain letters and even questions in the Hous of Commons. So he used as many 'frowned upon' words as he could in that routine. That's what he ment with moving in with Salman Rushdi, who had just had a price put on his head by the Iranian government over a book he wrote 'The Satanic Verses.'
You need to watch
'Ismo, the word sh*t'
'Ismo, the word ass' is also very funny.
Hes from Finland and he noticed some weird things when learning English
Hes hilarious 😂
Yes!
Check out the Finlandish comedian Ismo elaborating on the idea of 'shit' meaning everything except it's literal meaning. It's hilarious!
I went out looking to buy some shit, good price too, I now have a huge bag of manuer, I hate gardening.
Here in Finland, a teacher of a student's mother tongue, listened kids in the school yard and told them: "you use Fword like comma, all in right points of the sentence..." Especially teens were not so pleased about that comment.
the closed captions were on and it said "all right, welcome back to porn reviews" lol
We all use the word shit the same way here in the uk now
Vagaries = from the word vague
The vague rules of language.
The various different ambiguous/obscure rules that affect our speech.
He's talking about the unwritten rules of local language.
There are no real grammatical or semantic rules, they are just local or national conventions or idioms; that might be misinterpreted elsewhere or in certain situations.
You know already, Dave Allen is great.
This one hasn't aged fantastically. His accents are very dodgy, to say the least! lol
Unfortunately when I was studying I was working a job in the railway here in Queensland so I picked up a few in my late teens. My favourite (girlfriend from Yorkshire HATES it) is "Not here to fuck spiders". Basically it means here to get the job done and a great way of responding to someone asking if you're ready to start something (girlfriend unpacking Ikea for example). I have no idea where it came from but it feels so useful. It can be toned down to "Not here to fornicate with arachnids" to varying levels of success. Not even joking, it's a true phrase!
You should really try Frankie Boyle. If you can understand his scots accent, he'll have you running to your safe room for a cry. The most brutal comedian.
videos might need to be edited down in places though :) but not as much as Billy Connolly would have to be
No one. says chum in London anymore. Im old and it’s been matey shortened to mate forever. Dave Allen had me cracking up. 😎
Your video, it was good shit.
Your missess was saying about do, do. It reminded me of chandler in friends and his job interview and the guy telling he can dump a load of do,dos on thoughs under him. The fraz pissed as a fart has some what washed away it's drunk as a skunk or blotted now. Anyway c u soon ttfn
Dave Allen show was on late at night and my parents would try to avoid us watching it. Saying that according to utube captions your show is Welcome to Porn reviews, now that's a different show altogether, l hope. 😂
majority of uk comedy revolves around the English language how its spoken how its used its different meanings, the best comedians really use it well..... if you want to experience this the watch The Two Ronnies.... their sketches show this manipulation of language to the most funny ways it can be used.....Four Candles... Mastermind....Sweet shop..are a couple of examples
Pissed means drunk it doesn’t mean ‘angry’ over here
dave allen was roasted for swearing in his act, he did this video as a way of getting back at his critics by swearing most of the way through it, hence the reference to moving in with salmon rushtie
The American phrase that really annoys me is “go ahead and…”. Eg. “Now go ahead and add the sugar”. No no no. It’s “now add the sugar“. Every America seems to say it.
That Columbian sh.. joke was hilarious 😁
Every day, the captions tell me this is about porn reactions.
It never is 😮
Have you guys herd of another brilliant comedian by the name of jasper carrott he's every bit as funny as Dave allen ps don't forget F. A. Cup Saturday ttfn
One "Americanism" I could never get my head around is "to screw the pooch". I know how it's used and what it means, but where on earth did that one come from?
Another Uk comedienne i recommend you review is Catherine Tate. She did sketches in a show and they are hilarious. Including Offensive Translator, Gay son and drunk bride. Also her nan sketches. You will not regret.
Please check out The 2 Ronnie's. Superb writing,funny as f. Check out mastermind. Four Candles . Crossword on the train.
Love your reaction and I have to say you are a very very Lucky guy...you got a very very beutiful wife/fiance.
She is a 12 out of 10....take good care of her and always be a gentleman....
Thx....
No comedian past or present can light a candle at the side of him. Sadly missed.
It has always amazed me that normally intelligent people still get hung up about swearing, do they just not see the pattern that each generation normalises the swear words of previous generations and then comes up with their own forbidden works? It is like some multi generational game and yet they don't realise they are playing it
I commend you for not swearing (cussing). Unfortunately, I’m a lost cause regarding swearing. ☹️
Ayyy linkin park
Please watch his teaching children the time stand up
Are you aware that when you said 'welcome back to boring reviews', the subtitles said 'welcome back to porn reviews'? lol.
Lol. Yeah we’ve been told. Apparently that’s what my Boring Reviews sounds like.
I must admit, I don't hold with the constant use of vulgarity.
We've b got a good language use it correctly
Vague is not being clearly expressed, so vagaries are things that are not clearly expressed...
In general when it's not about speech it can be unclear or ill-defined, like it's own definition...
Surely you've used the expression "that's a bit vague", as in you haven't said enough to actually say what you're trying to say... Or you're describing something that is not yet clearly defined...
I think in this case it's more like the 'curiosities' of the english language. The strange things that lie on the periphary of the language
