Victor borge and Andre previn brought classical music to the masses and are to applauded for doing so. Rest in peace Andre and victor goodnight god bless. You both will be always remembered . From Michael from Yorkshire and proud of it.
My Grandma spent a good portion of her younger life catering. She had the privilege of serving Borge’s table once. She spilled salad dressing on his suit (: She said he just smiled at her. One of her most embarrassing moments, and best stories :)
Wow. What an amazing story. That just goes to show how good of a person he was :-) but I connected but that resonated with me as my grandma was also the caterer and had her own catering business. During Bill Clintons reign, she used the money, around $20,000, she got as reparations because she was placed in a Japanese internment camp when she was 4 to start her catering business.
Massively gifted piano player. But he moved into the field of complete nonsense. He’s extremely gifted in complete nonsense. Every video is a masterclass in utter nonsense. I’ve watched them all. My complete nonsense has really improved.
How great is Marilyn Mulvane to keep a straight face and keep singing so well while Victor is goofing around and talking to her and audience laughter almost drowning out her voice.... 😂😂😂
I cannot believe I only discovered him 17 years after his passing. What a great musician and comedian. No need for tired cultural references or filthy language, just universal comedic talent mixed with remarkable musical talent. What a gem of a man.
I like how he does risque material in a subtle and inoffensive way - safe for children because they wouldn't get it, but the adults would find it hilarious.
I saw Victor Borge in concert twice. Once was a solo comedy show, the other when he conducted an orchestra, with added comedy. We shared a birthday too, but not the same year. Actually, it was every year.
Victor Borge was a genuis and his sense of humour was hilarious. Some of it was made on the run when people came in late. I was honoured to have seen him in three countries during his life and the last time we saw him was in Australia three months befor he passed away. A really great pianist and comedian. Dont have any more Victor Borge,s
You must be one of those old timers, 70+ 800.000 miles and more stories than the average lifetime of a youtuber. how's life at the nursing home gramps? (Yeah i'm jealous how can you tell?)
Absolutely love this fellows brand of comedy, never swears, humiliates the crap out of his guests, but everyone still has fun. His brand of funny is a very rare commodity these days.
Once upon a time, this is how gifted, dedicated and consummately professional you had to be in order to be successful. This is one of the best postings on the whole site, thank you.
To this day, when he comes to the "Pardon me madam, are you laying eggs?!" response, it gets me everytime! Just rib hurting laughter🤣 he's so funny with audience members!
His opening to Liebestraum played on his knees with no damper pedal is still better than mine... as is the portion with someone else's tie in his mouth.
How did I not know this before? He's genius and I can't stop laughing. The mixture of incredible musical talent and such a great humor... I'm so sad that I didn't live in that time to see him live.
Thank you for posting this! I have fond memories of watching this on a VHS tape with my grandfather over and over and laughing like loons. I didn't know that I'd ever see it again.
Claus Christoffersen exquisite timing, and the perfect showmen-entertainer! Always hysterical and virtuostic. There will never be anyone anywhere quite as compsosed and improvisiational simultaneously. A genius, he was athletic didactic, extremely musical virtuoso! Wonderful laughs!
"not much to laugh at these days"...that's definitely so not true !He is/was so hilarious, with such a good sense of humor...I miss him... His humor is timeless , like you have written.Thank You !
I remember as a kid seeing and hearing Victor Borge on PBS. It's long form (things are much faster nowadays), but that said I am glad that his schtick is available to all on this platform. May his memory be a blessing.
139 brain dead people! There’s is no way you cannot find this funny! This is the best kind of humour, much better than swearing, and long stories. The best ever.
Mr. Borge was an act that I saw on American TV in the 1960s in the days of my childhood. Later in my life this remarkable man resurfaced via the www. A truly entertaining personality. Thank You. Mr. Borge!
Victor Borge: There is a dear and wonderful dutch pianist and comedian Hans Liberg who himself is a fascinating and very funny, impressing musician/comedian - regarding himself, most probably, as one successor of Victor Borge. I was fascinated. Later on Victor Borge (a Dane) got me immediately - being a former high-rank concert-pianist, who - obviously - don`t match that pompous attitude of nowadays ´cool comedians´ . . . He was moking Adolf Hitler during the 2. world war and had to immigrate to the USA. I instantly fell in love with this old-fashioned gentleman of music and comedy. As the other commentators already mentioned: It is so beautiful to watch this slightly mocking and quietly provocative, nonaggressive and benigne man develope his humor in his appearances . . . This is so sweet! Thank you.
The best parts are when he asks the lady if she's laying eggs and when he wants the "ovation" to die down after announcing what Marilyn will sing. Hilarious! I literally can't stop laughing at those two parts. He's one of the best. Up there with Jonathan Winters in my books of comedy greats.
I used to watch him on an old vhs tape at my grandparents house when I would stay the night, when I was a kid. I was only 7 or 8 years old, but I loved it. I wish I could have made one of his shows with my grandparents before they passed.
I miss this man. We could all use him right now. I saw him live a few times and even though the show was pretty much the same every time, you could tell you were in the presence of a rare greatness that will never be replicated.
True musical artist, and best comedian that brought races together , Victor Borge is one of the best comedians I've ever seen and he orchestras this on his own, one of the best pianists in his time , poet, writer ect...Thank you for sharing this video
Hi all, I have some rare footage with Victor Borge - recorded in his native country Denmark. He partly speaks Danish, but I have applied English subtitles for those parts. This is the playlist (Enjoy!): ruclips.net/p/PLCby7t-aPVUksdwJPSy7ov7-tHibgxC4h
If a hundred years from now there will still be those in the business of making people laugh (and God help us if there aren't) I feel certain Victor Borge is one of a very small handful of entertainers whose performances will be watched, admired, and likely imitated.

My wife and I saw Victor Borge in London before we were married, 60 years ago. He amuses us as much now as he did then.
So lucky. Wish I'd had the opportunity

This program is my Christmas gift each year, i can see my grandfather in him that passed away 30y ago and i can laugh so much, thank you

His comedy tends to be pretty timeless. True comedic hero.
"He's a good friend of the family... his own of course."

I used to wait tables in my twenties. I would have deliberately spilled a drink on him just for the reaction.
We always think of Victor Borge as a comic, but he was also one of the most superbly talented musicians ever.
Musicians, comedians they're both art.
In a Rick Beato interview, Sting references Victor Borge as a genius musician who knew how to play the wrong thing at just the right time.
@@devonull8784 Eric Morcambe must have seen him once.
Absolutely devastating. Should have been a concert pianist. Instead he decided to be a professional idiot. I’m so happy he made that career decision.

I discovered him today :))
@William Leavitt XD good one
21 here
Found today at 47
I like how he does risque material in a subtle and inoffensive way - safe for children because they wouldn't get it, but the adults would find it hilarious.
"I run the lights"
Victor - "That's against the Law"
Genius! XD
I saw Victor Borge in concert twice. Once was a solo comedy show, the other when he conducted an orchestra, with added comedy. We shared a birthday too, but not the same year. Actually, it was every year.
I agree great copy of his genious
I could see him conducting PDQ Bach. He would be well-suited for that!
I share my birthday with you both too then and you may be interested to know all three of us share it with J R R Tolkien 😃
"Pardon me madam, are you laying eggs..." 24:17, brilliant!
What I like about Victor Borge is that he entertains people with comedy and he also amazing at the piano.
Victor Borge was a genuis and his sense of humour was hilarious. Some of it was made on the run when people came in late. I was honoured to have seen him in three countries during his life and the last time we saw him was in Australia three months befor he passed away. A really great pianist and comedian. Dont have any more Victor Borge,s
Some times these people who come in late are usually "plants" as part of the show
You must be one of those old timers, 70+ 800.000 miles and more stories than the average lifetime of a youtuber.
how's life at the nursing home gramps?
(Yeah i'm jealous how can you tell?)
For a man his age he surs was very physically animated! Very impressive
Absolutely love this fellows brand of comedy, never swears, humiliates the crap out of his guests, but everyone still has fun. His brand of funny is a very rare commodity these days.
It’s not that rare. Humor has changed…. and for the worse
One of the greatest Danes to have ever lived - so proud, that he is from my birth country 👍🏼
I thought he was a human, not a dog
38:40 - I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes - thanks for posting.
Once upon a time, this is how gifted, dedicated and consummately professional you had to be in order to be successful. This is one of the best postings on the whole site, thank you.
+multilarm1 I totally agree with you and I'm glad I was able to upload it.
@@artfrob3754 Hello happy new year to you, how are you doing today dear, my name is Witni Andy from California bishop and you, if i may ask
"Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me" 😆😂😂🥰🥰
To this day, when he comes to the "Pardon me madam, are you laying eggs?!" response, it gets me everytime! Just rib hurting laughter🤣 he's so funny with audience members!
Me too! 😅😅
How wonderfull is Marylin!...superb voice
I JUST got it..."Giuseppe Verde"...."Joe Green to you". I am slow!
30:29 "Here's an early American folk song - 5.30 in the morning!" - brilliant joke that audience didn't get it
One of the funniest men out there, ever! Never swore once and guess what, funny!
Tim Bodnar around 6:47 he says "where the heck is C?"
thats not swearing :| even back then
Hausgaard ,
10:11 killed me
Tim Bodnar Exactly.
His opening to Liebestraum played on his knees with no damper pedal is still better than mine... as is the portion with someone else's tie in his mouth.
I saw Victor 'live' in Leicester and he was absolutely brilliant. This is exactly how he was
The part when he couldn't find the next sheet of music and then realized he gave it to the woman in the audience lmaoooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣
How did I not know this before? He's genius and I can't stop laughing. The mixture of incredible musical talent and such a great humor... I'm so sad that I didn't live in that time to see him live.
Victor was a genius!!!!!!
+mrdougeran1 certainly was one of the greats...
sometimes when he's doing a comedy it bugs me because he plays so well I would love to hear one of those well played pieces.......lol
Is it possible to make someone go viral, posthumously?
Well.. as he saied : It's not easy playing something straight :P

A genuine class act in the entertainment world. I still miss him, but thank goodness for YT.
This man is amazing.
Finding Victor Borge was a good way to start today.
One of the greatest comedians, pianists, and artists of all time. I am crying with laughter!
Thank you for posting this! I have fond memories of watching this on a VHS tape with my grandfather over and over and laughing like loons. I didn't know that I'd ever see it again.
I'm glad you enjoyed it again. His humour is timeless .....
Same!!
The funniest man ever to have entertained the earth.. What a truly great man. Thanks for all the good laughing :)
+Claus Christoffersen Yes Claus. a class act. The fun continues on act 2 .

I am so glad I found this man, he is hysterical :) His improvision is brilliant.
I laughed so hard when he went: Aahhh shut up! And hid in his coat😂😂😂
Absolutely fantastic pianist and great entertainer.
I saw him once in concert, 1982 I think; a great evening.
Miss the man. He was hilarious.
When you don't rely on pop culture references, politics, or cheap gags to get laughs, decades later, your material will still be funny!!
"not much to laugh at these days"...that's definitely so not true !He is/was so hilarious, with such a good sense of humor...I miss him...
His humor is timeless , like you have written.Thank You !
I've watched that bit with Marylin Mulvey a dozen times or more over the past few years and it never fails to get me laughing.
I remember as a kid seeing and hearing Victor Borge on PBS. It's long form (things are much faster nowadays), but that said I am glad that his schtick is available to all on this platform. May his memory be a blessing.
If you can make millions laugh just by playing an arpeggio, you're a genius.
Too bad for you you don't have a sense of humor. Maybe if you try listening again, you might get the jokes.
Why don"t we have more talent like this so we can get our minds off those things that annoy us!
He has the pause of a Marx brother. Love it. When he cycles the window for the singer I died. Too funny. Constant reproach oh man that was funny.
I am uneducated in the arts that Victor Borge is/was! He made his comedy so well that even I can get a look at his genius.
Oh what a hilarious good guy, good job only always Victor & company, and I am out of words laughing rolling on the floor, wow, lol.
139 brain dead people! There’s is no way you cannot find this funny! This is the best kind of humour, much better than swearing, and long stories. The best ever.
I used to watch a this on VHS when I was little. I'm 36 now & still quote from this show.
I hope to live with such culture of music
my ultimate favorite of all time
Thousand thanks for this upload ...! What a charismatic and hilarious old gentleman ...! And all the details he put in his performance -- man!

Victor was a genius!!!!!!So is his helper
His son
I wish I would have known about this man sooner. I love how he mixes music and comedy together. Not an easy thing to do.
"Joe Green". The funniest man who has ever lived.
That was sooo funny! I LOVE VICTOR BORGE!!! 🌹 THE GREAT DANE!!!
The beautiful lady was great too!!!
Tysm for posting...
Now on to ACT 2 for me...😀💞
imagine sitting there laughing and Victor Borge says something to you
Een van de beste performers uit mijn jeugd. Hans Libert heeft zijn werk gebruikt als voorbeeld.
I haven’t seen this since I was a kid. My grandparents used to show me this on VHS. Love it
What a genius
Regan Johnson jnnmkkjn
Thank you for the memories
I would have sacrificed a good day to have seen him live.
It would have made up for it.
I used to watch this at my Grandparent’s house every summer.
Love his comedy. 🤣
Thanks for the video, I only knew him from hearing his show on cd. This time I can watch it. 😉👍
Saw this on an old VHS cassette as a kid. Loved it.

You and Victor Borge made RUclips a whole lot funnier :D

loved watching mr borge very funny but god could he play the piano

They are probobly watching it with you now Cody...
this needs more views!!!!
Victor Borge was The consummate-entertainer and will always be!
I miss this man. We could all use him right now. I saw him live a few times and even though the show was pretty much the same every time, you could tell you were in the presence of a rare greatness that will never be replicated.
Cudos to the girl who could stick to her performance with this man!

Brilliant and irreplaceable
Best of all compositions from Victor ...
i love him so much
Asks someone to come and help him, talking with the man for a minute, and then asks "So, what can I do for you?" XD
I grew up between my mother a concert pianist and victor borge... both were wonderful and if one was too heavy then the other was the humour
If a hundred years from now there will still be those in the business of making people laugh (and God help us if there aren't) I feel certain Victor Borge is one of a very small handful of entertainers whose performances will be watched, admired, and likely imitated.

Thank you 9gag for bringing me here
Lol Im here aftet 3 years for the same reason.
I love this man
Greetings from Belgium
Love this man
This guy is phenomenal i love him xD
I come from Copenhagen, I was here before you - priceless.
Ah that simple humor, as and the times when it was performed... this wouldn't fly today
Yes it would - stop hallucinating
Awesome 😎 👏🏼
This is the real deal stand up :-)
Hahah the this and that part was really funny 😂😂
I grew up watching this performance. No wonder I'm so weird...
Me too.
