My Dad (RIP) watched Dave all the time. I remember him sitting in his chair in the living room chuckling away. Such great memories. As a kid I never understood the jokes. I do now and I'm laughing and smiling for me....and for my Dad! 🙏
Nigol66. I was watching this for the same reason. My dad passed two weeks before his birthday last August and he was a big fan of Dave Allen. We really resonated with the Catholic humour as he was raised a Catholic too. We always found his sketches so hilarious and always think of my dad when I watch him. This is my way of spending time with my dad over Christmas as it’s my first Christmas without him. RIP to our dads and to the amazing comedian Dave!!! he brought us so much laughterAnd I’m so grateful for the times we spent together enjoying his humour🥂💗💯💯⭐️✨💫
your comment caught my attention, as I enjoyed watching when I was not supposed to as my mum disapproved, but I loved reading your comment and memories you have about your father, and very much likewise and its great to see Dave here and recall those times and wishing you all the very best👍
@@SunnyBeetle1922 I wanted to echo a lot of what you have said and thank you for your great comment and thoughts and recollections which to a great extend I can share and wishing you all the very best

My Dad R.I.P. was the exact same he loved watching Dave Allen back in the 80s & 90s when I was a kid growing up in Ireland. Dave was he's favorite comedian of all time. I can still picture him sitting in the bosses chair, as he used to call it, laughing so much that he had tears in his eyes. I of course hadn't a clue why. If only my dad knew his real surname was Tynan, the same as ours...I could imagine my dad saying if he knew that fact back then..that makes sense alright. Lol always makes me smile. Comedy Genius David Tynan legend. R.I.P.
I havent watched Dave Allen for a long time but tonight I had a great belly laugh about the absurdity of being human. Such great humour, such a great observer of us mere mortals. An amazing story teller, he had the audience in his hands. Thank you for reminding me about the laughs I had when Dad and I watched you in the 70s and 80s. RIP Dave and may you be with your god.
Dave Allen was always a privilege to watch. Classic. I'm now a member of AA. One night when I had the courage to share (a god of your understanding). I quipped "May your God go with you 😮. I am still in AA.😮
I watched him with my father as a young child, I am now 60 and he is just as funny and entertaining today. An irreplaceable icon who's memory will live on. Thank you for all the laughs I shared with my father. RIP Dave and thank you for the fond memories.
my parents from wales uk went to zambia (africa) copper mines for lifestyle change in the 1970z and i as a small boy would whatch dave on zambian tv believe it or not ..i pissed me self laughing and still do
"some day we'll have hot summer"; shame you weren't still here to enjoy it when it came in 2022 Dave. I would love to have heard you comment on this madness we are in the midst of here now
Dave Allen was a unique and very great comic talent. Outwardly, he was urban, relaxed and charming to a fault. Inwardly, he was driven by rage and anger against the mundane and the banal in everday life and Establishment hypocrisy wherever he found it, whether in the church or state. His humour was observational and personal but universal in its appeal. It spoke to, and for, us. I miss him still.
Me too! So fantastic to have good 70ties comedy to laugh at again, takes me back to my childhood and when all the family watched this show together. Thank you whoever put this on YT!
Einfach großartiger trockener Humor. Es freut mich sehr die originellen Sketche von Dave Allen nach so langer Zeit seit den 70ern wieder zu entdecken, die immer noch genauso witzig sind wie damals. Danke für den Upload, und an Dave Allen, der mich schon als Kind zum Lachen brachte🙏.
We loved watching Dave Allen when we lived in the UK in London back in the 70s and early 80s. He's a gem. Thank you Dave Allen for all the wonderful laughs. RIP. ❤
Dave Allen magic! We would watch him in the 1970s and early '80s - totally mesmerized. Caught this tonight and my pets were wondering around signaling confusion because feeding time was delayed 2 hours due to Mommy lost in this man's incredible talent. Thanks for sharing ❤
Dear Clinton Hegarty ... you never know ... I think Dave himself would want laughter to go on, hence he'd wish for someone to make us fools laugh. Yep I understand and share your love for him.
You you can be a little more careful with the words and phrases in your tweet and then I can say I don’t like it and you should not have said it in your reply but you are not the only person I am a good rut to say it is a bad rut I don’t like the word rut is the only way 😮😢
Many years ago, I was watching him sitting in a chair and listening to him. Simple in chair. And very good talk and jokes. Wish people these days speak such a good, clear, understandable speech with sense and something.
Listening/watching this while in the gym. Laughing quietly and grinning like a Cheshire Cat. Comedians can't tell a story like Dave Allen. Amazing talent.
The tenner under the car wheel is,for me,one of the greatest tv jokes ever,it encapsulates everything about a man who without doubt one of our greatest comedians
He was compulsive viewing in our house in the 60s (I moved out in 71) and then beyond and my mother was an Irish Catholic. My parents would howl with laughter and listening to some of these videos again, I still do. Brilliant.
I grew up watching Dave Allen, and it was brilliant to re-watch his shows at different ages and understand more and more jokes. To this day, I can re-watch and laugh no matter how many times I've seen the routine. What a treasure this man was. 💜
I remember every living back on Long Island in the 70s. And watching every Sunday night's on Channel 9 at 11 and crying myself to sleep. A true master.
I loved watching Mr Dave Allen, he was such a funny man, & I used to enjoy his jokes, with a cigar in one hand, & a scotch in the other, he was just something else. RIP DAVE.
I'm delighted to find this. Dave Allen was my dad's favorite comedian. This reminds me of growing up in the 80s in Ireland watching this with him. Now introducing my American wife to his fantastic comedy.
Terrible attacks on Mother Church!! I watched this when young; I'm 76. Really made me realise how silly religion is. So ahead of it's time. Thanks Dave
My Dad always used to watch Dave Allen many many years ago whilst having a drink and a smoke. I now do the same. A very funny man that still makes me laugh today. Good Night and may your God go with you.
found this by accident, I haven't laughed like this for years! Actually crying with laughter! My mum and dad loved Dave Allen it takes me back to happier times remembering them watching him then me too when old enough. Now both parents have passed on, this is making me feel very nostalgic. Dave, thank you for the brilliant timeless comedy, in this crazy world we so need it! May your God go with you xx🙏🙏
DAVE ALLEN was so hilarious and witty.. Loved sitting down with my family as a kid watching him. Some of the jokes I obviously didn't understand but now re-watching his show I understand and can't stop laughing. He is 1 of a kind 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you so much for these wonderful videos of one of history's most brilliant comedians. I used to watch him years ago and was so happy when I found him on RUclips again. I'm a fan of good comedy from the U.K. I can watch these videos over and over again and have a hearty laugh and big smile each time. I Also love the 2 Ronnies and Are You Being Served? Dave Allen, thanks so much for all the good times you gave us. I hope we'll get to hear you still telling jokes up in Heaven, also.
Dave Allen was a Genius. So funny. His jokes reflect a time that I remember as a child that is now sadly long gone. You don’t get comedians like him anymore. Still makes me laugh in a way that is not matched today.
Who wouldn't want Dave as a dad. What a wonderful wit. And came from Rathfanham ,just like me. Many years have passed since his departure, but leaves us all still laughing 😂😂RIP Dave.
10 minutes in, and tears of laughter are rolling down my face! 😂😂😂😂 Dave Allen made us laugh when i was a kid, and he still lives on now, via RUclips 💜🌹
Not just one of Britain's greatest verbal comedic talents, Dave Allen showed the absurdity in the everyday, the mundane and most of all, a humans capacity for both good and evil in a way that only someone without a sense of humour would ignore.

He never treated his audiences as if they're a bunch of ill informed idiots, only there to be insulted, for him it was a privilege to make you laugh, to think and with any luck, to leave his shows with a new-found hope for the future. Although he's no longer with us, he'll live on in our hearts and memories. To Dave Allen, gods favourite Atheist, Rest In Peace.
my Grandfather adored the ground he walked upon, even recorded a series off BBC in early 80s and still had it till he died 4 years ago... i loved Dave Allen too......
Indeed Davinia, it would not. But it's not that they're scared of upsetting some blue haired, unstable, Jo bloggs... you simply cannot speak against the narrative, therefore, you most certainly can't mock it.
Not that he was so very un-pc or offensive. But the idea of a person just being able to sit in a chair, no props or gimmicks or even much movement, and just be side splittingly funny and entertaining, would never occur to them. And no one around today could do it like Dave either.
I discovered him, first, in 1971 and, since, he has made me laugh through good, and very bad, times. Every time tears come to my eyes, because of family I situation, I go back to his shows and, even if I almost know most by heart, he brigs my smile and optimism for the rest of the day. Wherever he is, I know “ his God is with him” RIP my good friend
Me as well...funny as hell...he announced he had stopped smoking and someone in the audience called out: "What do you do with your fingers now?" Without missing a beat, Allen retorted, "Come up here and I'll show you!" Brought the house down!
People say oh, this guy or that guy was an original, but this guy Dave Allen truly was an original and no one like him since.
My Dad (RIP) watched Dave all the time. I remember him sitting in his chair in the living room chuckling away. Such great memories. As a kid I never understood the jokes. I do now and I'm laughing and smiling for me....and for my Dad! 🙏

Immediately takes me home to England on a Saturday night, watching t.v with my parents and sisters. Such happy days.
I could never take the church seriously after watching Dave Allen in my youth.
There will never be anybody like this anymore - he was such a unique genius. RIP
There will never be anyone like anyone again
Yes, he was indeed

Dave Allen will be sorely missed! - The world needs more like him more than ever!! 😞
He will be sorely missed? He died nearly 20 years ago.

I’m 62. In the 1970s me and my Dad used to watch him and have a great laugh. A comic Titan was Dave Allen.
Those were the days, when no one got offended, great comedian 😏
I am also 62. Enjoy your life Comedy is what we loved and do live.
I'm 87 and just found Dave Allen last year. I just love

Loved watching Dave Alan back in the day today’s society don’t have the same sense of humour as we did
They don’t have a sense of humour especially the woke and snow flake idiots
We loved watching Dave Allen when we lived in the UK in London back in the 70s and early 80s. He's a gem. Thank you Dave Allen for all the wonderful laughs. RIP. ❤
He had the best parting shot ever. "May your god go with you" Totally neutral.
What a storyteller! Used to watch this years ago.
Dave Allen, the one and only.
My favourite comedian of all time
Still watching 2024
Thanks, Dave Allen, for bringing laughter
Into our house.
Dave Allen was the best. Still funny all these years later. 😂

You couldn’t get away with these jokes today. I’m glad I grew up with a sense of humor & a legend
Theres nothing wrong with the jokes now. Stop pandering to silly ideas. Were better than that
Very true! The PC police would blow these jokes out of the very shallow water of virtue signaling.
Yep. Jokes about exits and geese are not tolerated today!
@@lesley585 I can honestly say there are no comedians today that make me laugh
@@judyparsons1333 I don't know if your comment was cut short. If not, I wish you happiness / laughs you can find ✌️

Both Dave Allen and Spike Milligan I would say.
There won't be anyone like anyone ever again

AAWWH!! R.I.P. DAVE ALLEN . HILARIOUSLY ! FUNNY FOR THE DURATION OF HIS TIME ON EARTH . FROM U.K.(2021).
It is September, 2023.. I was in my mid 20's and found this man's humor so on point..
This man is pure gold!

What can you say but absolutely brilliant out this world. A proper comedian.
Man, I miss Dave. He was brilliant. Peace
One of the absolute best doing what he did so well. R.I.P.

As a male!!!! //Lars

His comedy was brilliant!
Growing up in the 1980s i saw his 70s shows on repeat and his current stuff at that time, Dave Allen was Comedy Gold.

And look how much the Irish miss the "silly" old order, now that it's gone and the slippery slope approaches rockbottom...!
There's nothing wrong with real religion, it's organised religion which is evil, especially the Roman Catholic Church Clerical Hierarchy.
Loved this. It brought back memories of when I was a kid. You can't get humour like this anymore
You can... they just don't want kids to "think differently" with independent thought nowadays.
Thanks for the humour Dave, you’re the best ever❤️😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love this man
In a class of his own and still so dearly missed. Dave Allen was pure comedy genious.
Absolutely brilliant he was , me , a German teenager , was laughing my head off and now , almost fifty years later , I do the same 😆

Lol right, trying to guage 6 feet apart.
Thanks for posting. Remember watching this with my family, memories of a simpler time.
Go on say it... BETTER times.... inspite of all the problems we had then.
Not just one of Britain's greatest verbal comedic talents,
Dave Allen showed the absurdity in the everyday, the
mundane and most of all, a humans capacity for both
good and evil in a way that only someone without a sense
of humour would ignore.
It didn't matter if a belief in the supernatural was required,
to Dave, all that mattered was if you laughed, then he had
done his job.
He never treated his audiences as if they're a bunch of ill
informed idiots, only there to be insulted, for him it was a
privilege to make you laugh, to think and with any luck, to
leave his shows with a new-found hope for the future.
Although he's no longer with us, he'll live on in our hearts
and memories.
To Dave Allen, gods favourite Atheist, Rest In Peace.
Dave Allan mother was English. He looked after his brother who became very ill.
He was brilliant Irish Comedian
The tenner under the car wheel. Classic.

I frickin' love this dude I'm smiling like jackass in approval of everything he says!! Wherever you are I hope it's a suitable place for you!!
You know full well this would never get made today. Too many TV bosses too scared of upsetting someone. A pity really.

G9Od must have a sense f humour or we would ot havehad the joy of his humour!!!
Indeed Davinia, it would not.
But it's not that they're scared of upsetting some blue haired, unstable, Jo bloggs... you simply cannot speak against the narrative, therefore, you most certainly can't mock it.

Truly OG I watched Dave when I was 10 around 1977 awesome not many of us left
I used to love watching Dave Allen in the late 1980s on PBS in the US.
Dave Allen at Large, Benny Hill, Monty Python, The Goodies..... The list goes on and on. I grew up on these shows and love them all.
