How sad that so many people have been denied the pleasure of seeing comedians completely uncensored because of a minority of humourless and soulless people who have decided that they should control what the majority want,and it,s not just comedy!
What I love about Bernard Manning, and I suppose it's with most entertainers of any sort, is the audience reaction. Always loved Bernard, as he stated they were only jokes, would make fun out of anything, including himself. He had a smooth delivery, was born to do this. Thanks for the upload.
Met him in Guernsey. He was waiting to go on stage! I had a quick drink with him and then he was telling the gags! Great man--no way racist! Honestly truthful!
Wow nice one. I remember watching this actual bit when it was originally aired. So good that people still have the old recordings and are prepared to share them.
Seen Mr Manning live,kings theatre Glasgow outstanding.people seem to forget how much of a true gentleman he was,and the money in which he gave to charity.
Back in a Time when people had a good sense of humour. You could tell any joke back then and no one was screaming Racist or sexiest. Different times good times.
Let me tell you something, Bernard's club was in a deprived area of Manchester and still is, in a very mixed community, if they had believed he was a "racist " he would have been lynched a long time ago, I'm one of the minorities he regularly uses in his act, i have no issues.
His neighbour was a doctor of indian origin. He ( manning) would often talk about the friendship that existed between them. He TOLD racist jokes but he WASN'T racist, if anyone can understand.
The only English comedian I've seen who's been anywhere near the level of Manning has been Bob Monkhouse in his later years : "It got up to 94 degrees today. At my age, that's not bad". "When I die, I'd like to go peacefully in my sleep. Just like my dad. Not screaming and shouting like his passengers"
I saw him three times,he was amazing, got jaw ache laughing out loud..It was just a job to him, that paid well, he wasn`t racist, he told stories that people laughed at and enjoyed..
Bernard Manning unleashed ! though I suspect he toned it down for the telly. This was live and late on a Saturday night. He would never get away with this today, in today's P/C world of sanitised non-offensive comedy:
ian bennett Irish pilot on Concord last flight.Flies from Dublin,To New York in 3 hours 6 minutes.On leaving the plane,the pilot makes a statement and tells of the time of the journey.Journalist asks ? Is that a record,Irish pilot.....No,it was me speaking 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Manning fkn rules
it makes me a bit pee'd off when some of today's lefty wokerati put their modern ideas on the past and tell us how 'unenlightened' we were - i'd have those times back in a flash, at least we knew the difference between a girl, a boy and a cat, and the only blokes you saw wearing dresses were on monty python. most kids i hung out with in the late 70's onwards supported stuff like rock against racism, but we could still laugh at jokes that involved other races. If there's no intent to deliberately insult then no real harm imho, and when we used to drink in caribean clubs in leeds and bradford we got our fair share of nobbling back, but at the end of the day apart from a few incidents people generally rubbed along ok together.
Funny is funny. I grew up watching Bernard, Roy Chubby, Lenny, Charlie Williams. I found them all to be funny in their own unique way and as long as they made me laugh, I didn’t give a dam about their politics. And that’s what comedy should be about 🤓
I first saw Lenny Henry from north Wales on Midland TV mid 1970s TISWAS, funny extremely talented guy watching the show. I bet He really enjoyed watching Bernard on the show for God’s sake Lenny. I know you come from the black country but don’t hold it against the British by the way, he is from Dudley and it actually is called the black country.👌🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧
So our police. Servants of the crown. Enforcers for the Conservative government are working, for the left? Are you sure? Not the elite following a devide and rule policy. Definitely the left.
He asked the tramp 'had he been to the front' meaning front line in war, as the tramp said he was an old soldier, but the tramp thought he was on about the door, obviously bullshitting and just a cheeky bastard 😂
Bernard was brought in to replace Alexei Sayle when Alexei was hooked by ITV for going OTT on a heckler. Two very different characters. Bernard was one of Britain's best ever comedians. Alexei - *the* best.
Not every joke Bernard said was racist or politically incorrect. Here's one I heard him say: A guy's walking down a beach when he sees a stall which reads, "Seagulls for sale only £1.50". The guy thinks, "£1.50? Wow that's cheap. I'll have one". He goes over to the stall holder and pays him £1.50. After the transaction, the guy says, "thanks, but where's my seagull? The stallholder says, "up there in the sky"
They all did.. Jethro toured the same show for 50 years, Jim Davidson's still telling the same jokes now and the only reason Ken Dodds shows went on so long is because he never dropped a joke when he wrote a new one :)
Morecambe and Wise, same gags every week on their TV show. That's a wig you know. Here's a play what I wrote. 'Oh a play, what part have I got ?'. ' Your not in it ' etc.

I had the misfortune of working with Manning for several months. He would delight in humiliating and belittling the staff at every venue and he was a horrible bully. The man was foul.
That's his act he was a genuine kind man I met him people are to offended these days like manning said take a joke as a joke never take a joke seriously
Liam Rowbotham perhaps you could tell the working people that he went out of his way to humiliate and degrade (often to the point of tears, at which he would laugh) about his kindness.
The world was a much better place when we could tell jokes about anything and no one complained
No exaggeration, I've just laughed out loud more times in 5 minutes than I have in 5 years of watching and listening to BBC Comedy
I lied. Make that 15 years.
There ain't no comedians any more .Bernard was the last of a few to really tell it like it was
The BBC do comedy??? You sure???? I thought they only peddled government propaganda. Mind you, that makes me laugh more than anything else! 😂
By far the best comedian that’s ever lived even 40 years ago the man has me in stitches rip Bernie x

In my opinion without a shadow of a doubt the greatest stand up comedian the world is ever likely to see

The greatest stand-up comic to draw breath.
R.I.P Saint Bernard of Manning.

Bless you Bernard, lovely funny man.
The best stand up comedian ever..his timing was immaculate...RIP bernard.
Simply brilliant 😊
Brilliant..
Never seen that before and i used to watch OTT must have missed that episold...
Lenny Henry must wish he was half as funny as Bernard sadly he never even came close.
Kenny Henry is /was the exact opposite of Bernard Manning. Bernard was very funny...
Lenny henry as funny as a dose of clap.
Even if Lenny Henry isn’t funny at least he isn’t a fat racist sad old twaaat
Bernard was a millionaire raised thousands for charity, lenny did commercials layed in bed for premier inn.
Lenny Henry as really left a mark haha lenny who ???
he says what many people are thinking,thats why they laugh

He's fucking deluded along with all the BLM shit

Peculiar show to put him on
From the days when we were allowed to laugh...……...WTF happened to our Country ?
It died along with Bernard. Not allowed to laugh at anything now.
Diversity killed our country along with entitled millennials..

And I mean just the ONCE!!!!
Yes on ott when he was impersonating a African rapper yarlong,I think his name was.
Lenny Henry the arch hypocrite. If Henry was so annoyed why didn't he ( walk out) but Lenny Henry is laughing his head off.
lenny henry will never be in the same league as bernard.
Great comedy, cancel culture from the left has killed it.
Not me. I tell jokes like this and I laugh at jokes like this.. if anyone doesn’t like they can disappear up their own kybers

Too right, Bernard Manning was 'bullet proof' comedian. As a matter of interest: I wonder if the 2022 Lenny Henry would laugh at any of those gags?
Fella walks into a building, nothing happens. He says to receptionist "Is this the right place for the start of a Bernard Manning joke?".
Bernard was brought in to replace Alexei Sayle when Alexei was hooked by ITV for going OTT on a heckler. Two very different characters. Bernard was one of Britain's best ever comedians. Alexei - *the* best.
Bernard was World class,Sayle National league North level.
You can see Lenny Henry supressing his disdain.
Lenny can do one 😂
at least he can walk home on his own at night.!
@@italianstallion9170 Classic!!
Funny the black one Didn't like a joke about his skin
Not every joke Bernard said was racist or politically incorrect. Here's one I heard him say:
A guy's walking down a beach when he sees a stall which reads, "Seagulls for sale only £1.50".
The guy thinks, "£1.50? Wow that's cheap. I'll have one". He goes over to the stall holder and pays him £1.50.
After the transaction, the guy says, "thanks, but where's my seagull?
The stallholder says, "up there in the sky"
Just goes to show his non racist or politically incorrect jokes were not funny either.
yes they were, you have a crap sense of humour but your crying is making us laugh@@baobo67
