RIP Joan Rivers (June 8, 1933 - September 4, 2014), aged 81 And RIP Barry Humphries (February 17, 1934 - April 22, 2023), aged 89 You both will be remembered as legends.
Dame Edna was good... BUT for me it was always Sir Les Patterson, an absolute legend. God bless you Barry Humphreys you always had me doubled up with laughter
Sir Les will be sadly missed when Barry retires but the memories of him will remain with those that love him long after he is gone. Bless you Barry for giving us the ultimate gift, the gift of laughter.
He's right on to cultural bullshit! He sure brought the 1960's and 70's Aussie Gladiola growing fetish to a swift end! Of all his characters, the repulsive lecher, Sir Les Patterson, Minister for th'Yartz, really got to my late old man. One night I came home and dad (who'd been watching Sir Les on the Telly) had slid off the lounge chair and was literally rolling on the floor, clutching his sides, in a massive fit of laughter - he almost needed oxygen. Humphreys is either a total genius, or he's barking mad.
@kevinherbert I'm a babyboomer Australian living in the US, and thank God for you tube where we can excavate great stuff like this. You've summed it up brilliantly. Humphries is an unparalleled genius.
I just purchased an unused, spanking brand new copy of "Traveller's Tool", authored by Humpphries and full of his great wit & humor. Open line of book is here I am tool in hand!.... So when this awful Covid 19 receedes; a proper American such as myself, will know just which tools to bring along, to make my trip to Sydney sublime! Hey, is bringing your own tool a requirement of Australia? Of course if I left my tool at home, wouldn't get to probe all the nucks and crannies Australia has to offer. THIS SHOULD PROVE TO BE A MEMORABLE INTRO TO AUSSIE LAND...GOOD JOB
@kevinherbert You have just made my appreciation of the wonderful Barry H soar to even greater heights. Dear Old Honest John and Sydney ("from Sydney") were great old troopers the likes of whom will never reappear save through the work of Sir Les and Barry H. Long live Sir Les and Dame Edna.Wonderful and dare I say it,proud Aussies.
What makes you laugh Sir Les? Well Joan, other people's misfortunes mainly. Always remember that. Genius. As Dame Edna he asked Joan on her talk show in NY, Are your bridesmaids still alive Joan? Of course Joan is a magnificent comedian as well.
He really did place Australia culture,front and centre in world affairs..who could have known it had such refined and diplomatic figureheads as Sir Les Patterson
@kevinherbert Don't know about Syd Halen Or Honest John, but he is definitely the penultimate Aussie politician, a politician I knew closely resembled and acted as Sir Les would, the bum pinch and leer, always horny, but I think it applies to many other Australians of that vintage. Australian humour is crass, quick witted and bludgeoning, Rodney Rude as an example.
Remember a sketch of Barry as "Sir Les Patterson" the very rotund Austrialian cultural attaché. Despite his status, Sir Les had been unable to get into an event at Buckingham Palace. He was pushing his bulk up against the metal railings & pleading with the guards to let him in. Looking down at his beer gut, which was now squeezed between the gaps, he said *_"Aw! Let me in! Half of me's in already!"_* 😂 So sad he died a few days back....😕
Why do American chat shows always put the host behind a desk on stage left? British chat shows put the host on a chair same as the guests. Seems less formal.
This man has a title of nobility!!!!!!!!!!????????? This is OUTRAGEOUS and I will see about getting this pig's title reviewed as this is unacceptable! This is a shame upon the Crown, and I will not stand for it. Why are you all not outraged by this lord's behavior!?
Arrogant, condescending,an intellect who looked down on his fellow Aussies; he laughed at us and was happy with it... should have stayed in Britain along with the expats...
I agree. In interviews, Humphries comes across a smarmy, pretentious sod. With an affected, ''cha-ar-nchy, dar-ar-nsy", House-of-Lords accent, he still gets trotted out to have his ego stroked by some untalented TV knobhead. I adore Sir Les, & enjoy Dame Edna, ..but HUMPHRIES???!!!

And
RIP Barry Humphries (February 17, 1934 - April 22, 2023), aged 89
You both will be remembered as legends.
Dame Edna was good...
BUT for me it was always Sir Les Patterson, an absolute legend. God bless you Barry Humphreys you always had me doubled up with laughter
Agree 100%.
Brilliant, the little glances, that ridiculous smile, the ability to assume control of a show. A national treasure. Thanks. 🇦🇺
Humphries’ contributions to comedy can’t be overstated. A brilliant writer and performer, his improvisational skills are unsurpassed.
adamtzsch I agree , he is unmatched in my opinion , a genius
I really miss the days when comedians were funny.
I miss the days when adults used their real names.
@@MichaelKingsfordGray Yeah, me too. I also miss the days when women were adult females and only men had a penis.
Sharp and witty Barry Humphrey's genius ,,,,, thank you for the laughs the best medicine in the world.
My dad loved watching this used to crack him up every time
What makes you laugh? Other people’s misfortune, priceless.
very rare Joan is upstaged or lost for words, both legends
Unbelievably brilliant.
Sir Les will be sadly missed when Barry retires but the memories of him will remain with those that love him long after he is gone. Bless you Barry for giving us the ultimate gift, the gift of laughter.
Two greats, sadly missed. Not many men could overtalk Joan.
RIP Barry - you were the greatest.
Brought tears to my eyes. Legendary. Comedy gold.
Only Barry Humphries could dominate Joan Rivers on set. Wonderful
Loved him as Les Patterson!
Was lucky enough to see him live in Norwich 2 years ago doing his last tour he was brilliant!
That man showed me how important culture is, RIP and thanks for the big smiles.
Barry Humphries you are comedy gold.
The lefties wouldnt be able to handle him, so sad a comic like that falls victim to political correctness.
He's right on to cultural bullshit! He sure brought the 1960's and 70's Aussie Gladiola growing fetish to a swift end!
Of all his characters, the repulsive lecher, Sir Les Patterson, Minister for th'Yartz, really got to my late old man.

Humphreys is either a total genius, or he's barking mad.
Sir Les/Dame Edna/Barry you are priceless. You have given tons of laughter to millions of people across the globe.
Sublime
@kevinherbert I'm a babyboomer Australian living in the US, and thank God for you tube where we can excavate great stuff like this. You've summed it up brilliantly. Humphries is an unparalleled genius.
Two great comedy acts... Brilliant just brilliant!

So when this awful Covid 19 receedes; a proper American such as myself, will know just which tools to bring along, to make my trip to Sydney sublime!

THIS SHOULD PROVE TO BE A MEMORABLE INTRO TO AUSSIE LAND...GOOD JOB
Sir Les Paterson, patron saint of the totally gross...... God bless him!
I watch Les over & over & over.........so clever
Sir Les disgustingly funny, RIP Barry comic genius.
This guy is fucking crazy! And hilarious!
Not crazy, an utter genius.
There's fine line between crazy and genius, and Barry Humphries walks that fine line with the skill of a high wire walker.
Barry is a legend
hes tops
Joan and Sir Les - great combination! Hilarious!
Joan Rivers made it to the top in a man's world, all credit to her!🌼
She was a man
NO FUCKING CREDIT GOES TO HER HUSBAND EDGAR ROSENBERG
@@edrooney9580 AND AN UGLY MAN AT THAT LIKE YOU.
Two greats who were lightning on the uptake.
I am sure that poor Ms Rivers had NO IDEA how to 'handle' Sir Les.
NOBODY ever has! 🤣🤣
Barry Humphries - bloody brilliant! 🤗👍💎
M 🦘🏏😎
So proud to be Australian x
@kevinherbert You have just made my appreciation of the wonderful Barry H soar to even greater heights.
Dear Old Honest John and Sydney ("from Sydney") were great old troopers the likes of whom will never reappear save through the work of Sir Les and Barry H.
Long live Sir Les and Dame Edna.Wonderful and dare I say it,proud Aussies.
COME BACK SIR LES, GIVE IT ONE MORE TIME--
While performing at a night club in Hong Kong the security hadn't been told about Sir Les and they through him out.
Kind of forgot how funny Les was great comedy still funny.
Love les
rip joan x
fantastic
One wonders when Sir Les first came across Joan Rivers.
As a kid I had no idea what was going on and wondered why chat shows invited him on.
What makes you laugh Sir Les? Well Joan, other people's misfortunes mainly. Always remember that. Genius. As Dame Edna he asked Joan on her talk show in NY, Are your bridesmaids still alive Joan? Of course Joan is a magnificent comedian as well.
Sir les self proclaimed, can take the piss well and truelly, and also make you laugh!
Knighted by the then Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam.
The funniest woman to EVER live ❤️
With the funniest man bar none
so funny have anyone in tears wonderfull
After the second cup, you would have to smell a rat ! lol
lol, "I recon after the 2nd cup you'd smell a rat"
Back in the 80s this chat show was.
This chat show was back in the 80s.
We just made a chiasm.
you never know where the Aussie cheese has been when it comes to Les!
Aussie cheese stores best with the toe jam.
RIP, Barry. Thanks for the laughs. P.S., Joan was a looker in her younger days, even though she was as J as you can get.
John Barry Humphries
17 February 1934

Requiescat in Pace
And the process of Les continues in a larger vessel.
He really did place Australia culture,front and centre in world affairs..who could have known it had such refined and diplomatic figureheads as Sir Les Patterson
OOHH!!! I love that poem..
dont you worry about my saliva LOL!!
Disgustingly Brilliantly Funny.
“… after the second cup …”
No worries!
Nobody like Sir Les, alpha male and Ocker institution, to bring Joan to heel.
Sometimes reminds me of Author Daley (George Cole)
Sir Les and Dame Edna are both still around
Joan rivers looks good here. But crikey after this she went berserk with the surgery
@kevinherbert Don't know about Syd Halen Or Honest John, but he is definitely the penultimate Aussie politician, a politician I knew closely resembled and acted as Sir Les would, the bum pinch and leer, always horny, but I think it applies to many other Australians of that vintage. Australian humour is crass, quick witted and bludgeoning, Rodney Rude as an example.
They are all dead now, but when I was a kid they made a fabulous collection.
No worries. 😉
No need to activate the laugh-track here...
This must be a very old clip. Joan still looks recognisably human.
How nasty.
pattigee1
Thank you:)
Well she's dead now so you must be pleased about that
OMG Joan's fushia sleeves are humogous
Remember a sketch of Barry as "Sir Les Patterson" the very rotund Austrialian cultural attaché.
Despite his status, Sir Les had been unable to get into an event at Buckingham Palace. He was pushing his bulk up against the metal railings & pleading with the guards to let him in. Looking down at his beer gut, which was now squeezed between the gaps, he said *_"Aw! Let me in! Half of me's in already!"_* 😂
So sad he died a few days back....😕
Why do American chat shows always put the host behind a desk on stage left? British chat shows put the host on a chair same as the guests. Seems less formal.
He looks and sounds like the male Dame Edna.
@atomicnortherner Are you American?
nothing like a bolognese sandwich
Les Patterson pre dated Arthur Daley
you mean Arfur Daley don't you???
they did but they don't
they were but now they are not
A performance gruelling yet tasteful like licking some warm vegemite slathered on the inner thighs of a school boy.....(Well it is Les afterall!)
limolee007 That's both the most terrible and the best description of any time in company with Sir Les. God bless Australia and all who sail in her.
Les is squeaky clean compared to that old bag.
Was it Joan rivers who said “ if I ever met the queen I wouldn’t know whether to curtsey or lick the back of her head”? Get it?
Australian cultural attaché
, LOL!
Canny funny, are you with .me
This man has a title of nobility!!!!!!!!!!????????? This is OUTRAGEOUS and I will see about getting this pig's title reviewed as this is unacceptable! This is a shame upon the Crown, and I will not stand for it. Why are you all not outraged by this lord's behavior!?
Don't stress, they'll catch up with the scourge of the earth and bring back nobility ,,, just wait :)
He's a 50/50 kind of comic 50% of the time you find him hilarious and the other 50% you can't wait for him to stop?.
Arrogant, condescending,an intellect who looked down on his fellow Aussies; he laughed at us and was happy with it... should have stayed in Britain along with the expats...

Don Andrew ‘cha-ar-nchy, dar-ar-nsy “,…What, are you drunk?
The drooling and cheese display is disgusting and hilarious 😂...lowest underpants? Well I think I will thank you 😆🤮
That's the point.
If you're disgusted it worked.
Racists
If you can't laugh...Along side of dane Edna or sir les....you haven't a sense of humour..life is for living not for moaning...
Joan is so scripted.
