I'm Irish and Dave was an Irish treasure - when I need a good laugh when I need a cry , I turn on Dave-Ireland has its writers but no other comedian comes close to Dave's genius - his stories his jokes and his body language were all brilliant - - - - and oh so handsome-I will miss him forever.
The world is poorer for the loss of the laughter this man induced in us - he was the best comedian ever!!! No one has ever matched him nor is anyone ever likely to. 👏👏👏👏👏
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this and it still cracks me up every time. I wish I could play this to these street preachers who accost me and start ranting about heaven and hell. I’d love to watch their heads explode.
Brilliant !!! No other word 4 him ,1 of the top comedians around in my lifetime and at nigh on 68 now watching him just emphasises what a genius he was and loved by all on the British isles 👏👏👏👏
Watched Dave as a child…….amazing with an English, religious stepmother who hated the Irish(my mother was Irish). In Australia he was a favourite. I think he helped my brothers and I question religion. We are all Athiests.
“An Irish book because it says that it all began at the beginning !” Profoundly hilarious. Actually this is the fundamental difference between ”stand-up” and “sit down” comedy… he is using his sheer genius, not 300 hundred “F” words per minute, in order to be funny. And he really was unique ! One of a kind, never to be replaced in our hearts. May your god go with you, dear fellow !
He builds this up beautifully and the payoff line at the end is brilliant. .......and this is the book that you put your hand on in court and swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Sometimes, when the madness of this modern world gets too much, I like to watch Dave Allen to get some perspective on what a true genius is, pontificating on politics and religion with more wit, eloquence and insight than pretty much anybody.
@Davy Anthonissen The biggest Holocaust in the history of mankind was perpetrated by Islam in India before Christianity arrived and committed further genocides.
Man, I must have lived under a rock. Never heard of him before. Second video I see now. I can't believe anyone could sit through a whole show of his. His timing is so good. People must have been brought to hospital from laughter.
Well, that is an implied sexist remark, no matter how you slice it or what political affiliations you have. Also, he got the story in the Bible all wrong. It is Adam, not Eve, that god supposedly tells not to eat the fruits of the tree of knowledge. He is right about one important thing, though: It is ridiculous to have elected official taking the oath of office with their hand on the Bible. Among others, this is the book that condones slavery and belittles women from its first book to the last forged texts of the New Testament. Use a copy of the Constitution instead.
God is supposed to be all knowing and even knows everything that will happen in the future, but, god couldn’t foresee Adam being lonely. God gave Adam a penis to insert into a vagina but god hadn’t even thought about creating a woman. It was only after he saw that Adam was lonely that god created a woman from adam’s rib. I’m sure god wouldn’t have made a man with a penis without also giving him a sex drive so what in the hell was Adam going to do with his penis? A lifetime of masturbation? And how was Adam going to reproduce since god only made a man? It takes a make and a female to mate abd have offspring. God made two of all the animals on earth but only one human. Hummm. Did god have another brain fart? Apparently so. He sure wasn’t all knowing if he couldn’t even see the need to have a female human. After all, he gave sex mates to every other animal on earth. God isn’t all knowing and the god portrayed in the Bible isn’t even very smart.
@@sorellman _Eve told the serpent they are forbidden to eat from the tree, Bible doesn't say if Adam passed the message on or if God himself later informed Eve, so you cant exactly say Mr.Allen got it wrong.
The Irish are a nation of natural storytellers , this definitely was in his favour... He was b4 my time but I’ve been watching him on here & absolutely love his wit ... No gimmicks , no props just a man , a chair & a drink ! Bliss
ImKaraB Nope. Carlin is good, but noone can replace this man. Also, Carlin was also a comic at the same time, and Carlin was probably more famous because he reached a bigger audience. But noone come close to this man.
I was staying at my grandmother's house about 20 years ago. One night, the phone rang, which I answered. I heard a man's voice and he said "BBC 2, 9:30, Dave Allen. Best Comedian Ever!!!!" and hung up. Thank you total stranger.
God asked Adam, "What is wrong with you?" Adam said he didn't have anyone to talk to. God said that He was going to make Adam a companion and that it would be a woman. God said, "This person will gather food for you, cook for you, and when you discover clothing she'll wash it for you. She will always agree with everything you say. She will bear your children and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them. She will not nag you and will always be the first to admit she was wrong when you've had a disagreement. She will never have a headache and will freely give you love and passion whenever you need it." Adam asked God, "What will this woman cost?" God replied, "An arm and a leg." Then Adam asked, "What can I get for a rib?" The rest is history...
Thanks for this bit of humour, made my day! Being a Canuck I had the influences of early British comedy like David Allen and others but there was no CC or subtitles to help my profound hearing lost. Now I’m like a little giddy kid re-watching these British TV Like BritBox with the captions.
@Michael Ciancetta Clearly Dave Allen HAD NOT read the Bible, otherwise he would have known that Adam wasn't happy living with no companion other than the animals.
I have often thought this. Even if God was real surely he'd respect healthy scepticism, especially considering the fact that he is, shall we say, a little evasive?
R.I.P. DAVE ALLEN . MISSED GREATLY !! HILARIOUS INDEED !! FROM U.K. WATCHED ALL HIS SHOWS !!! ALWAYS ROCKED WITH LAUGHTER ALL THE TIME !!! FROM U.K. (2021).
Back in the 1970s there was a Sunday variety TV show in my old country. It had music videos, news, guests, movie clips, etc. But the true highlight was Dave Allen sitting on his bar stool and delivering killer jokes that had me in stitched. I still remember how the next day, on Monday, all we would talk about in school were his jokes. And we would laugh again - probably even harder! Amazing guy - smart as a whip and funny as hell (pardon my use of cliches).
After Dave says "and Go sees that Adam is happy...." - the pause, slight frown and then the audience laughter is just pure, comedy magic. Sorely missed Dave, but still making us laugh. Brilliant!
Brilliant funny man. like millions of others I grew up watching him on TV , it was a very popular show , the sketches were always hilarious . He closed every show with the words " Goodnight and may your God go with you".
Just caught this on a TV show, timeless, as most his comedy, he was a storyteller, it is such a rare talent we haven't seen it since. Richard Pryor had that talent as well and he was another great.
@@edithbannerman4 Ohh I was off work and after doing some chores I swanned about, now I'm watching a fascinating Doco on the potential Mars mission, and the psychology of the astronauts who will be away for 3 years and stuck with each other in a confined space. How about you?
Here in the States, years ago, on PBS (public television) just before signing off for the night, they played an episode of Benny Hill, followed by Monty Python's Flying Circus followed by Dave Allen at Large. Good times! I watched Dave for months before I realized he was missing half of his finger!
I loved this man when I young back at school in england, So far ahead of his time and bring religion and all it's dogma to the point. So sad wher don't have people like this today
David Allen was not unlike many of the comedic greats who lampooned life from personal observation. Folks can instantly relate to life's absurdities which have been well done by other legends such as Robin Williams, Richard Pryer, Billy Connelly and George Carlin but just to name a few. They just prove to us that our existance should never be taken seriously. Excellent comedians are a national treasure.
Totally agree and I think Paul Hogan deserves a mention as well. Brilliant, direct, observational humour. No calling spade an 'Earth inverting device.'
@@SauqinaR he would quite cheerfully do the same for any religion but being Irish he was more familiar with Christianity or didn't you hear him use the word atheist?
There have been very few genius's in the world but genius fits Dave perfectly. His television sketches were hilarious and even made good catholics realise the utter ridiculousness of their beliefs. Fabulous common sense observations from the man. RIP Sir you are sorely missed.
According to the Bible, Adam and Eve were the very first man and woman. They had two sons, Cain and Abel. Cain murdered Abel, so God banished him to a life of "wandering". So Cain wandered off, built a city in the land of Nod and produced a line of descendants, beginning with Enoch. And thus was created the world's first plot hole.
Cain didn't murder his brother. He sacrificed him. In return for that sacrifice, Cain was awarded with a magic mark of protection from anyone who would try to kill him. Crazy folklore.
My 5c...they had daughters too, the book says so, so the brothers had to have fucked their sisters....but there were no laws against that in the good old days, so all was good. (Genes where pure in them days, or some shit like that)
As like Alan we are both former RCs. This is how that biblical tale should be taught. But both him and I would have been taught a less entertaining version and made to believe that it was fact. I would have remembered it better had it been told like that
".....and God is looking at him, and he sees that Adam is happy....." ( insert best EVER comedically-timed pause in a routine EVER!!) The genius that is and was Dave Allen. Sorely missed, but still making me laugh, and heartily at that!
My family were great fans of DA, and we’d watch his shows together, back in the days when famiky ate and watch telly together! He is pure comedic genius! I think present day far right evangelical Christian’s would,be offended these days about his comedy!
This man made me think about the existence off god or anything to do with the catholic religion. While my parents remain staunch catholic I'm a totally atheist and it all started with Dave Allen. It does make me think while as a youngest I loved his stories and sketches taking the micky out off the church i conclude that my parents were just so unaware of this but still laugh there heads off. Thank you Dave Allen

No one has ever matched him nor is anyone ever likely to.
👏👏👏👏👏
We had his shows on danish tv, everyone watched him, he was hilarious
@@gejuje We in the Netherlands too. I watched them too.
George Carlin can match him without using much of his gift. But Dave sure was there before George.
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this and it still cracks me up every time. I wish I could play this to these street preachers who accost me and start ranting about heaven and hell. I’d love to watch their heads explode.
Ditto 😂😂😂
Who wouldn't?
No one else on earth has Dave’s quality of comedic timing and story telling. Such an amazing person
I must have watched this clip over 50 times and it still cracks me up . Every line is pure genius . Your a legend
No one was better. I saw him in Autralia and the following day I had stomach cramps from laughing. He is still missed.
An absolute one - off comedy genius, brilliant observations, thoughts and interpretations on the complexity and contradictions of life!
Absolutely!
+RICHARDG73 My mum and dad used to love him and it reminds me of my childhood when he was on TV...
Bible / Christianity and Islam / Quran are the two biggest cruel jokes pulled on humanity. They are the cause of mass genocides.

55, German, and I had the pleasure to see him on TV when I was really young. A truly brilliant comedian, I have to second that.
Watched Dave as a child…….amazing with an English, religious stepmother who hated the Irish(my mother was Irish). In Australia he was a favourite. I think he helped my brothers and I question religion. We are all Athiests.
He was brilliant ! Rest in Peace in our memories, Dave Allen !
I was 10 years old watching this guy. Didn't get it than. I'd sure like 2 have met him
Rest in peace in our memories... that's a lovely expression!
he literally had the ability to hold an audience ...at his very worf
Having been brought up as a Roman Catholic this has particular resonance. When he was on form there was no one better.
The power of his deductions is abso-freakin-lutely _brilliant!_ 😂😂😂
“An Irish book because it says that it all began at the beginning !” Profoundly hilarious. Actually this is the fundamental difference between ”stand-up” and “sit down” comedy… he is using his sheer genius, not 300 hundred “F” words per minute, in order to be funny. And he really was unique ! One of a kind, never to be replaced in our hearts. May your god go with you, dear fellow !
He says as much during the quiet bits as the jokes themselves, 100% pure comedic talent.
He builds this up beautifully and the payoff line at the end is brilliant. .......and this is the book that you put your hand on in court and swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Dave Allen is a genius. After he says 'Adam is happy' and he gets a whole 10 seconds of laughter from the audience, now that's an achievment.

"I didn't put him there to be happy." Funniest line in all comedy history.
And the second funniest surely has to be "If I see a snake I'll back off. If one starts talking to me I'll crap myself"
And oh so true!
It's the pause before he says it, during which everyone in the audience knows what's coming next...
Bible / Christianity and Islam / Quran are the two biggest cruel jokes pulled on humanity. They are the cause of mass genocides.
