There’s absolutely nobody like Max Wall these days. 😂. Ridiculously simple act but so very funny. I remember him when I were just a young kid. Thought he was great then and I still do. Saw him at a theatre in Coventry back in the early 1970’s, loved his humour ever since. Thanks for the fun Max RIP
Totally. I'm 55 now. Very confused when about 10. He scared the be jesus out of me but I couldnt understand how he could, at the same time be very funny. Used to watch from behind the sofa. Defo. a touch of the Beckett here.
I said exactly that, but in a different way,I I said to all the rotund ladies out there that it is what you look, like in leggjngs, that was his greatest triumph, great comedian
How incredibly strange. He looks like something out of a Charles Darwin etching. Max Wall would have gone down a treat at Glastonbury Festival. He was also an incredible tap dancer....a very talented man...can anyone imagine one of today's performers having the self belief to go this weird as a solo act?
I used to like his funny walk and funny faces routine the most. Another good comedian, through his pretend to play the piano wrongly, was Les Dawson. I am sure Max was briefly on a Lads Army episode, talking about something, along with Les and other celebrities.
Unfortunately I don't have any way of changing the speed of the audio. I did my best to align it so that the error was minimied I don't know how this arose. but the original video is forty years old and was transferred to DVD many years back with fairly basic equipment. The original tape is Betamax and I no longer have any way of playing it, so I had to get it off the DVD.
@@MLB9000 Unfortunately, for what reason I don't know, the audio is running at a slightly different speed from the video, so it won't stay in sync. I got it in sync in the middle to try to minimize the problem.
@@RogerWilmut yeah, I burned a movie like that once and by the end it was so out of sync the actors were speaking each other's lines. I'd probably chop it into smaller parts and sync each part separately
" I wasn't actually born in a trunk ..." Backed Max in the mid. 70's - one of true genius's of humour ... " it wasn't until they actually saw me they put me in a trunk ." Dear dear Max , I hope theres a piano stool in that cosmic theatre up in heaven , thank you for all the laughs you gave ... dh
John Cleese actually credits him with being the inspiration for the Ministry of Silly Walks I believe..... ..... you also have to remember that he was at his peak in the 30s-40s - entertaining in music halls (Max Wall and his Independent Legs) - until he was effectively blacklisted in the 50s due to his personal life.... ... although I still think he was at his best in Jabberwocky playing King Bruno the Questionable opposite John Le Mesurier
I didn't find this funny whatsoever .absolute cringe....i ddint even smile.. and I'm not even sure why people are laughing .. maybe the audience are kids or something ..its like a drunk you would meet in a pub who thinks he's hilarious but you cant get away from

Katt Williams!
Absolutely fantastic!! Max was a surrealistic genius, RIP you amazing comic.
I can honestly say this man was a genius. Been on stage with him when I was working in stage management. Amazing memory, fifty or so years later.
Professor Wallofski was just one persona of this gifted and talented man
I saw him twice in the mid 70s. Still the funniest act I ever saw.
Loved your.podcasts still listen so ahead of your time like talking pictures TV ten years early .please upload more wall !
He terrified me when I was a kid😟
Now I find his eccentricity hilarious 🤣
Scared the living shit out of me!!!

One of favourite comedians of all time
Max Wall a comedy genius! He is the reason I never wear leggings 🤣

I saw him onstage in Osborne's The Entertainer, which was something I'll never forget.
Fantastic
Gawd! He’s a weirdo! Absolutely genius!

This is my life
The Wallofski character and Billy Dainty predated Monty Python’s Ministry of Silly Walks.
I’ve got exactly those trousers.
Him and John Le Mesurier together in Jabberwocky 😂
There's a couple of folks in the audience who really get this. Can't fake that laughter
He was very fit
Just don't get comedy like this anymore xx
Yeah, I don't get it either.
@@nobbynoris 🤣😂🤣
These were really funny
Pure comic genius.
Pity the audio is slightly out of sync
Simply genius 👌👏👏👏👏🇬🇧
Max wall's the name.
Unique.
No doubt Rik Mayall studied Wall closely.
Massively disturbing.
Wit. Humo(u)r. 100 Denier black tights .
The likes of which have never been seen since Thatcher took power in 1979.
Max Walls the name... (followed by badly performed military drum noises)
Who’s that?

It appears they want pianoforte music of the more classical nature and believe me I'm the lad to let them have it 😂😂😂

Classic lol

Maybe it’s because I saw Monty Python and Victor Borge first that I didn’t find this funny. I must be missing something…
I guess back then the tedious and stuffy classical music performer was more familiar to people, so mocking such types hit harder.
John Cleese actually credits him with being the inspiration for the Ministry of Silly Walks I believe.....
..... you also have to remember that he was at his peak in the 30s-40s - entertaining in music halls (Max Wall and his Independent Legs) - until he was effectively blacklisted in the 50s due to his personal life....

All those negative commenters must be miserable gits.
0k.
Although I usually like Max, I don't find this to be very funny.
To all the rotund ladies put there, this is what you tend to look like in leggins. The great Max Wall was trying to tell you something, great comedian
Lovetoo had met humourous him selfe ps me yours him
Is he on drugs
About as amusing as a brain tumour. Max Wall had a couple of great gags but this is just naff. Like a dreadful parody of some 1920s music hall comic.
Micheal Jackson copied this
I'll be honest, I was expecting more. This can only be in the 80's and it is pretty bad
He wasn't funny at all.

Really dont understand this comedy, didnt snigger once.
Get the old boys in here, they'll be cracking up!
