@@gmann6269 Me too. All of it, in fact. Due to having to translate the entire film from English into my mother tongue in order to share the film with my friends (who did not catch the finer points or hard-to-get parts of the film’s dialogue).
@@MrHarrystank No it's not Danny. Danny is a character created by Bruce Robinson, based on a real life character. This character is a homage to Withnail & I, played by same actor, Ralph Brown.
@Pontiac Soviro of course, so did I, it came out way back. But the point was the obscurity of the character and reference. how about Tommy Saxondale? Love that guy too!!
Great line " Keith cannot be killed by conventional weapons." the director missed a great opportunity he should have Del snap into a thousand yard stare like he witnessed something so horrible and giving that line like he is reliving it.
I agree. Actually I thought he did that and was underwhelmed by the delivery of that hilarious line after not having seen it for years. Mandela effect I guess.
See? you said this 6 years ago. I'm convinced that Heroin, Jack Daniels and 3 pack a day Marlboro's are the hidden secret to longevity... "This may be the reason why Keith cannot be killed by conventional weapons."
I had to go see this movie alone in Greenwich Village, NY one afternoon. I got sauced on Ricard. (Sober since.) I liked the first one so much, I saw it twice immediately! It was such a grim time, these cheered me immensely. Good thing things are totally excellent now, huh? Greetings from France. Oh, I hadda leave the country.
one of my favorite parts of this film apart form the fact that The Greatest Roadie In Existence, Del Preston only had one pre concert story/adventure he ever related
Back around 1999, I could talk just like Del Preston, and I am an American. Now I am an old geezer. I saw this movie in the theater in 1993 the week it was released.
With Withnal and I is one of those films that year's later still makes people piss their selves laughing and Del was brilliant in it, even children were impersonating him 20 years later, classic film
My favorite part of the movie! "What would I know about music today? When I was working it was all bands like Eric Clapton & The Rolling Stones. I mean it's not like the Grateful Dead are still together & touring."
Having watched this again, I can’t help thinking that Del is based at least in part on Sam Cutler, former road manager for the Rolling Stones & Grateful Dead. Rest in Peace Sam.
I do love a nice English accent but I'm struggling to place it definitely. He sounds a good bit like Tony Iommi, which means Del could be a Brummie but correct me if I'm wrong. DAT ACCENT THO.
Jokes from 1993 about Keith Richards being indestructible: "Damn this humor still holds up fantastically!" Jokes from 1993 about the Grateful Dead still all being alive and touring: "Well, they can't all be winners."
Del Preston’s autobiography is the greatest book never written.
It would probably be filled with TONS of historical inaccuracies
I’ll be sure to never read it!
"Who's the old lady?"
"That's my old lady"
I always forget about this joke and it always gets me.
Everytime I hear someone say old lady I quote this..kills me everytime 😆😆
"Oh my god, you were at Woodstock, what was it like?!"
"Well it rained all morning and then cleared up in the afternoon... I almost remembered something else then but it's gone..."

Yup lifted straight from Withnail and I

That is why Keef cannot be killed by conventional weapons
Mr Wolfe it’s fucking Keith not keef
@@guitarherorox8578 No shit. He's doing the accent.
It was true then. It's even more true now, 27 years later.
it implies that in order to kill Keef one must perform a ritual of black magic.
But of course, he has protection; he's Keef Richards.
Possibly the best line of many best lines in the film and great homage to Ralph’s Camberwell Carrot scene in Withnail and I.
"They're selling hippie wigs in Woolworth's, man."
If I medicined you you'd think a brain tumour was a birthday present
I could take *DOUBLE* anything you could
Everything del says is gold
Watch the film "Whitnall and I". He plays more or less the same character
Even when he repeats it over and over!!!
He’s my ASMR go to
Ralph Brown deserves to be in the character actors hall of fame for this role.
He also played Bob, the overnight DJ in Pirate Radio, who would have preferred to go down with the ship rather than give up his records - his music.
"I _have_ to ask you..."
The intensity in his face slays me every time 😂😂
"who's the old lady?"
"that's my old lady"
XD
"Didn't you find it a trifle unnecessary to see the crack in the Indian's bottom?"
" *YES! ABSOLUTELY!!!* "
Yep. That made me laugh hard when i saw the movie for the first time. Still cracks me up today.

TheGunHoBros well it works, Keith Richards cannot be killed by conventional weapons
TheGunHoBros To quote Ranier Wolfcastle: "That's the Joke."

@@christonamtb4089 some of us though, some of us know the magic of the greatest film ever
"A very low temperature spade, the coal man."
What fucker said that?
Withnail?
I find it a trifling bit unnecessary that people gave this a thumbs down.
That would be Ozzy. He won't give it a thumbs up unless we can get a brandy glass of brown M&Ms
*trifle*
probably because their thumbs have gone weird
My old lady definitely approves this comment.
They were probably watching it upside down.

I love that film! It did not get much distribution in the states when it came out in the late 80s but it’s a cult classic
@@gmar7836 infact it came out in 1993 , that's why it didn't get much distribution in the 80s ,

It's based on a character from cult film ”Withnail & I” (1987)

Cool your boots man, this pill's valued at two quid.

When I was in college, we had a lecturer who sounded EXACTLY like Del Preston. We even got him to say a few lines.
Niiiice. Did you fall asleep? I would have
He's looking very beautiful, man.
Has he been away...?
yea there is a whole (half) movie with this character, withnail and i, best movie ever made!

English is hard
We've gone on holiday by mistake
Are you the farmer?
@@T--xk3hf !!Stop saying that Withnail of course he's the fucking farmer."
Del's fireplace wall is near identical to the one in Withnail and I. He went there (as Danny) when he lost his clog, in 1969.
I always think that when I see that scene. I just see Withnail half naked with a yellow marigold on flapping around, saying 'geoff wode.... etc'
And the couch.
It's all done on purpose.
"This may be the reason why Keith cannot be killed by conventional weapons."
Well, obviously.
See? you said this 6 years ago. I'm convinced that Heroin, Jack Daniels and 3 pack a day Marlboro's are the hidden secret to longevity...

“Listen Sonny G, sleeping like this will add 10 years to your life…” then proceeds to light up a cigarette hahaha!!!!
"Sleeping like this will add 10 years to your life."
Lights up a cigarette.
If only it was a Camberwell Carrot...
Withnail and I is a masterpiece.
Danny apparently moved into Withnail's flat on a permanent basis. Wonder what happened to Presuming Ed?
Probably still mindlessly spinning the globe 🌎😩🤣
"Who's the old lady?!" "That's my old lady" Lmfao 😂

Scott Mantooth But what a story it was!
1:49 something about how Wayne and Garth sit on the couch at the same time always made me laugh
Still good and long overdue a rewatch.
"Who's the old lady?!", "That's my owld lady."
LOL!! "Sleeping like this will add 10 years to your life." *lights cigarette. Define irony for me.
tlv156 Maybe he was being counter productive on purpose. He's giving himself 10 years and he's taking them away.
Ralph Brown was too fucking good here, one of the main reasons I prefer this one over the original
My flat looks exactly like his. I'm living the dream.
Sounds awesome.
Keith Richards' inability yo die was a running joke, 30 years ago.
Back around 1999, I could talk just like Del Preston, and I am an American. Now I am an old geezer. I saw this movie in the theater in 1993 the week it was released.

It's funny Ralph Brown who played Del was only around 35 there, and was supposed to be 10-15 years older. He would have been 12 at Woodstock.
"an old geezer" lol. He was 36 when this was filmed
We need Del in 2020 to revive touring!
Del Preston is the funniest character ever.
Did the same character 5 years earlier in "Withnail and I"
Nice homage to “Danny” from “withnail and I”
Who's the old lady!? That's my old lady 🤣

This may be why Keith cannot be killed by conventional weapons. Hahaha! Man I wish i was going to the concert today!

1995: Hold my bong
Having watched this again, I can’t help thinking that Del is based at least in part on Sam Cutler, former road manager for the Rolling Stones & Grateful Dead. Rest in Peace Sam.
Garth shhh
3:14 holding the cigarette, “I had the same dream” 😂😂
Who else wishes this scene lasted longer?
He's reprising his character from Whitnail and I.
Wayne: "WHO'S THE OLD LADY?"
Del: "That's my old lady"
1993 joke still relevant in 2021
Keith Richards still alive and kicking 27 years later lol
Did Russell Brand design his whole persona around Del Preston's character?
It's more of a take on Danny the Drug Dealer, from Withnail and I
I doubt it. Del Preston is a pleasure to watch.
Brand's a pretentious douche nozzle. Del's a legend. (yes i am aware one of them is a fictional character)
If that was what he was going for then he totally missed it
del Preston has an asmr worthy voice

@@Spud_Of_Anxiety it is a Birmingham accent
Smooth Bob from "the boat that rocked", without the beard and glasses.
Bit cheeky nicking the character from Withnail and I. Same actor as well.
Looks like Danny cleared himself up a lot after Withnail died and marwood made a successful career in acting
"This may be the reason that....bald-headed men are so uptight." :D
"Who's the old lady?!"
"Dhaht's muai ahwld lay-dee."

So that's what happened to Danny after the toy industry didn't work out.
He never managed to make one that shits itself
He failed to hold on to that rising balloon.
All I’m hearing is Danny The Drug Dealer. Mike Myers is obviously a fan 😂🤣
Greatest cameo ever
The late 20th century was magnificent
I love that he's basically the same character as from Withbail and I
I'm afraid you've been miss informed, I do dat anymore.
I'm just an old geezer !
“ I saw a bright light I thought we was on “ Keef Richard after an atomic blast

Best sequel ever.
If Del medicined you, you’d know you’d been spoken to
Seven people found it a trifle bit unnecessary to like this, and they weren't even naked.
Woah for some reason I just realized how funny it is he says "Sleeping like this will add ten years to your life" then immediately lights a cigarette.
(When Del wakes up) “Power’s back!?”
(Sees Garth) “That little guy did it!”
That knock is the absolute best
