This guy just managed to make himself immortal before he passes away... always remembering his Songs and Humour to cheer me and others up. Thank you, Ray!
Ray Jessel wasn’t a first time comedian, in 1964 he worked on a tony award winning play, and during the 1960s and 70s he worked as a sketch writer for programs with dozens of Emmy’s. This isn’t his first time. RIP Ray Jessel 1929-2015
Naughty Grandpa 🤣🤣🤣.. His Grandkids, especially his Grandsons are so lucky to have him as their Old Man .. This Grandpa still have his sense of humour intact.. She's got a P and Hers is bigger than mine really got me ROTFL uncontrollably 🤣🤣🤣 Btw, just love Nick laughing holding his stomach like a small kid🤣
This is a hilarious song, for certain. But you want to know something else funny? I haven’t read or heard of one single person that was offended by this for being transphobic. However, you only need scroll down to find plenty of comments saying “You couldn’t release this in (insert current year), the snowflakes would be triggered”. That is very amusing to me, people getting offended that imaginary people are getting offended at something that no one is offended by.
@Soflo Sports Just because the video was taken down doesn’t inherently mean that people were offended. Maybe they, like the people I mentioned, assumed that people would take offence and preemptively took it down, or it could be something more pedestrian like some social media manager wanted to have fewer videos cluttering up the channel. But since the video is indeed down and all the comments with it, we probably won’t know.
@@Shakes-Off-Fear People were offended by this. The reason this man never performed on the show again was because GLAAD and other LGBTQ+ organisations and groups went to NBC and demanded he be taken off the show, which they did.
As far as I can tell, it really isn't that transphobic- the singer still calls the girl "her" and lists off all the things he likes about her, he's just not attracted to penises and that's understandable.
Trans girl here. When I was a teenager, just starting my transition, I didn’t like this song. I thought it was terrible and mean because it made a joke about me. But I grew out of it. I hope everybody learns how to take a joke someday. This song isn’t mean-spirited, it isn’t insulting, and it makes me smile.
@@Methus3lah yep, I'm with you. Three years into my transition and I wholeheartedly support Ray's sense of humour. I gawked at this before I was officially out but as a girl whose grandparents of a similar age are her biggest supports, I can totally seperate the cheeky humour from the BS notion he would ever see me as different for the woman I am. Hoping we can start a comment chain somehow 😌

I didn't know he died😭
Yup. He was old that's why. Hahahaha
Why are you laughing that is not funny
Who cares 😂
Absolutely
I especially listen to him when I want to laugh
When he said " I never performed before judges before , I appeared before judges before"
That gave me a strong laugh
what does that even mean tho?
@@unknownuser8454 I think he meant he went to court many times .
@@madextreme2682 o.o
@@unknownuser8454I think it means he that before the judges were born he had already "appeared" into existence
@@unknownuser8454too bad for you and your spoonfed "intellect"
He should've won, but he didn't have a tragic backstory
They said his song was transphobic, so he didn't stand a chance.
@@ellenekanem people these days can’t take a joke 🤦🏻♂️
@@isaacyeon6334 Honestly I don't know why they would think it's transphobic. He described the women as great. Who also had a p e n i s.
@@itsken8010 exactly
@@itsken8010 ikr!
Ray was a very special man! I still like to watch his performance in 2024! You don't meet people like him a lot. Ray I will never forget you!
Whenever I'm feeling down I like to watch this video
To make you feel more down now he died

He should have gotten the golden buzzer, but they probably want to hear more of his songs.
Lol the man, the myth, the legend. This is the best one I’ve watched

So was Howie. Never heard him laugh that hard before or since.
I love how there’s a big emergence of people watching this recently
This says it all. Enough of influencers. He could influence the world if allowed. He is an unsung… well maybe sung now … hero. A national treasure.
This should now be the national anthem of America.Love this guy.Rip.Hi from England
Not America. Thailand

Listen to a song called ‘till the cows come home’. It makes this song better.
When i first heard it i laughed so hard like this guy 2:32
Wow😳😳😳
Today he'd be called out for being transphobic. Sad state of a world we live in.
I am a gay, gen Z. And unfortunately what you said is very true
How? He literally used "she" as a pronoun
He was called out at the time, ridiculously enough.
That golden generation he's from...
Rest easy ray🙏
Oh, I can’t believe he’s going to sing a naughty original song
He’s so cute tho! (Not in a weird way some old people are cute)
Stern was heard off mic saying ‘He’s ripping me off Robin’
Help im laughing so fricking hard
RIP Ray xx
