My brain comes up with this stuff all the time, unfortunately I'm not as funny as Bill Bailey so I just get told off for being an argumentative bastard.
It IS amazing to posses a brain that comes up with this kind of stuff and I should know!!! On an unrelated side note, Bill Bailey and myself will be somehow linked in a news article tomorrow morning...
This. This is the greatest single piece of comedy of all time. Bill Bailey is a genius. I have lost track of how many times I’ve watched this. «Your policy is riddled with theological inconsistency.» Where else do you find this in a piece of comedy?!
I saw him live in Belfast in 2011, was a really good night, he kept coming back on stage as people were leaving, he must have done about 4 encores LOL.
Went to the Earl of Whimsy last year. Alongside going to a stand-up performance by Spike Milligan, the best I have ever attended. Brilliant material and a superb rapport with the audience.
What I wouldn't give to see this man perform live...unfortunately I'm on the wrong continent :( I will just have to content myself with Nevermind the Buzzcocks, QI, Black Books, and these clips to get me through the days
Bill Bailey is so fuckin talented, in so many ways. I truly admire da guy not only for his comedy, but wow, is there an instrument he can't play?!! I think he's a cutie too, it's his intellectual head space that attracts me. Cheers alot Bill, for all da laffs! This is Sowf London Calling....☯️🐺🎶🦊☠️☮️🏴
I wish Bill would write his own book of philosophy or theology or sociology or ecology or pretty well every 'ology'. His brain seems to work by fusing the whole lot with a hefty dash of surrealism. Long may he continue to make the world a better place.
The scope of topics and crazy juxtaposition of themes puts Bill in the same great group of all the great British intellectual comics. Stuart Lee, David Mitchell, Dylan Moran, Eddie Izzard, and that "Live At the Apollo " crowd .
"I'm intrigued because you said Acts of GOD, not GODS, or spirits, or djinn, or nymphs? But god, a capital god, a monotheistic religion, maybe a Judeo-Christian religion which would imply a belief system, which would perhaps lead to free will and determinisim. So logically, anything that man does is directly or indirectly is in fact an act of god, so I'm not covered for anything!" "And he said, I'll get the manager.." Absolute legend.
@charcharbinx You ought to check-out Bill's own sketch show-'Is It Bill Bailey?', I have seen bits of it on YT. lso he had a small role in 'Spaced' with his former partner in crime Simon Pegg, was also in 'Burke and Hare' with him and had a short-run show called 'The Comedian's Choice' in which he quizzed other stand-ups on their fave comics, actors etc. Type in IIBB for the sketch show. Have you seen his first DVD 'Cosmic Jam'? He's young in that!
"Your policy is riddled with theological inconsistency...." totally genius line...
Unless you spent a summer in Australia. Locusts are EVERYWHERE.
Genius
As a philosophy graduate, lover of surrealist comedy, and full-time amateur pedant, this is my favourite comedy skit. Ever. Of all time.
Grymbaldknight I also adore the large hadron collider sketch. He is so funny
Plus some psychology thrown in!!!
better even than Monty Python's Philosopher's football match?
You mean like totally?
Only Bill Bailey would interrupt a comedic routine for a mini-musical.
"Nah probably leave it"
After all these years I still find that line so funny and I don't even quite know why
It’s the comedic timing. Spot on.
every time i watch this, i cry laughing, he is an absolute comedy genius he is

@@benholroyd5221 Mine does too, and I do get laughs, I just don’t get paid for it sadly….😉
The water based punishment of The Lord!
Greg Grimer humour?
+Greg Grimer: Inundation.
Sounds like Al Gore
The tangents this man takes us on is effin' brilliant. His throwaways are golden.
Still one of my favourite stand up moments ever.
That song cracks me up every time.
Top quality comedy, just splendid
I want to live in Bill Baileys world!
This. This is the greatest single piece of comedy of all time. Bill Bailey is a genius. I have lost track of how many times I’ve watched this. «Your policy is riddled with theological inconsistency.» Where else do you find this in a piece of comedy?!
So many types of humour in this short clip.
"I'll get the manager" ...
I saw him live in Belfast in 2011, was a really good night, he kept coming back on stage as people were leaving, he must have done about 4 encores LOL.
This is one of my absolut favorite scenes of Bill.. Just completly genius..
The Samaritan squirrel reference was almost too quick for me haha
I love the thought of going "That was an act of Vishnu, so your policy should cover it"
Jezus this mans brilliant
"Siberian spider have good leg, have nice day, can catch fly, make web, catch fly for family, I can do NOTHING"
I think this 3minutes sums up the brilliance of his act.
BUT IN MY DREAMS I CAN FLY, IM THE GREATEST SPIDER IN TOWN
But then i wake and its culd and i feel so old, and my legs are drauging me dauwn
when he said about the Ukrainian hunting spider having a real limp and being bitter about, I couldn't stop laughing
Have you stopped yet?
@@Will_Hallett_Art Underrated comment.
...your majesty.
Bill Bailey's genius makes me deeply proud to be British.

But in my dreams I can fly I’m the greatest spider in town
But then I wake and it’s cold and I feel so old and my leg is dragging me dooooooowwwwwwn
Stop all that spider singing!
.... dragging me dooooooownnNUH
And you laugh, make fun. Oh, HA! *Big joke!*
Oh contraire Mr Rowan for there was no W. It was indeed spoken in a Scottish tongue indicative of the word dooooooon.
@@rowanaboat4523 Well yeah thanks for asking though.
Just agreeing, the most inspired piece of comedy I have witnessed, brilliantly executed. I laugh every time, and it's been many times.
this guy, is a GENIUS
Bill Bailey is a genius
Brilliant sketch, what a legend Bill Bailey is. 👍
I only work Saturdays...😂 This man is a genius and funny too. Tal-en-ted ✨
What I wouldn't give to see this man perform live...unfortunately I'm on the wrong continent :( I will just have to content myself with Nevermind the Buzzcocks, QI, Black Books, and these clips to get me through the days
"I just work Saturday's!"
Quality. Pure quality.
This is one of the funniest things I have ever seen:)
I just work Saturdays.
feels like i was just read a script for a great sketch. i'd love to see that series of events actually performed.
I love how random this man is
The absolute finest from Mr. Bailey.
I would love to hear this track, even just the instrumental, hearing that first line feels so triumphant!
Pointed to a sign on the wall, spider with a line through it, I thought 'oh fair enough'
He now stands as high in my esteem as anyone can possibly get.
My personal favourite Bill Bailey bit!
And _that_ is how you make a religious joke. Whimsical, witty, and wonderful.
2:14 - I really wanna see Bill play Tevye in 'Fiddler On The Roof'
You just did ffs
Bill Bailey is so fuckin talented, in so many ways. I truly admire da guy not only for his comedy, but wow, is there an instrument he can't play?!!

What a genius Bill Bailey is....incredible 🤍🏆🌺
Love it love it love it
The man is a genious.
how did I not know this guy before...? Only found him out a few months before...
the man is brilliant
Incroyable..love that man..so cleaver
Brilliant. I'll go get the manager! Ha
He's Amazing live:)
I bet he is, you little minx
Said it better than a bunch of funny quotes from the clip we all just watched.
Such a genius
I really want to hear a full version of that spider song.
@charcharbinx Couldn't agree with you more!!!!! I love his linguistic skills! Black Books was a great series about nothing really!
I wish Bill would write his own book of philosophy or theology or sociology or ecology or pretty well every 'ology'. His brain seems to work by fusing the whole lot with a hefty dash of surrealism. Long may he continue to make the world a better place.
Your Majesty ...
Sign on the wall with a Spider and a line thru it hahahahaha.
bill reads when resting at home inbetween lifting things out of his wifes volvo and feeding the cockatoo
I just work saturdays....
'I only work Saturdays' LOL
Genius.
he also makes some awesome appearances on top gear.
The scope of topics and crazy juxtaposition of themes puts Bill in the same great group of all the great British intellectual comics.
Stuart Lee, David Mitchell, Dylan Moran, Eddie Izzard, and that "Live At the Apollo " crowd .
Under rated comedy god.
i failed to find any information about a spider with a limp. However the opposite is fairly common en.wikipedia./wiki/Jumping_spider
brilliant entertainer of our times !!
I mean, not in those words, I have always thought that
Samaritan Squirrel ROFL you wouldn't ever dare get in a debate with Bill.
So true...
He's got the sharpes tounge in England.
How does he do it! ....and how is Michael Mcyntire so rich???
Bill's humour goes above the heads of many. MM's is far more simple and will be understood by the majority. But give me the genius of Bill every time
Buy all his videos!

Absolute legend.
This is crazy...but hilarious!
@charcharbinx Would I lie to you, Mitchell and Webb, Armstrong and Miller, etc. etc.
I feel for the car rental guy :L he wasn't expecting Mr. Bailey :L
samaritan squirrel LOL
I know your pain!
9 Ukranian Hunting Spiders dislike this clip
Rowan Crump 41 Ukrainian Hunting Spiders
*Cue musical*
They're just bitter that they can't sing as well as Bill.
58 now. They've been breeding.
Water based punishment of the Lord 😂
A consummate entertainer.
I am the greatest spider in town!
Wow 14 years ago I saw Part Troll in London.... I wonder if he went bald in the end?.....
Stop that spider singing
@jameslewisgd In his younger days...Undertaker that is. Whenever he had a bit more weight on him.
@ajivins1 ok ill look em up. your majesty
Oh my goodness he's a genius!! Highly Intelligent !!!
Audience not on the same wavelength as Bill

Funny guy.
The Ukrainian hunting spider seems to have taken offence by this clip!
No that would be just Ukrainianis Vulgarisusses
Wasn't The Man Who Sued God a whole movie about the whole "act of god" thing?
@Deathriken please, I was deposed after all that heads on spikes and blood-drinking stuff, can't a man have any hobbies?
