My gran introduced me to the joys of Dave Allen when I was younger, he's always been a favourite and when I watch him it's like I'm with them and little again, wonderful memories x
I was pre teen in the seventies and I loved that man, why? He made my mum and dad laugh so hard it was a total joy to watch. I do have one particular memory of my mum getting up suddenly half way through his show and my dad asking where she was going. Her reply? I just peed myself a bit. God that just totaly killed me. I remember being on the floor almost in pain from laughing. It is a memory I truly cherish. Thank you Dave Allen for giving me these. RIP you are truly missed.
I love this skit of his, and seeing people's reactions to it; but your reactions were truly great, it made me laugh twice as hard. My wife doesn't understand my appreciation of comedy/humour, as I like all types; even the dark, and especially the ridiculous. Glad You enjoyed this.
It saddens me to say, as an Army recruit-instructor, I've had to teach young adults how to tell time. I'm supposed to be teaching these nascent warriors how to fight, navigate using a map/compass, survive in a chemical environment, administer life saving first aid and countless other vital skills but the buggers can't even tell the time. No wonder I've got grey hair!
As an oldie, many of us had a good grasp on telling the time before going to primary school. Dave Allen, was such a great comedian and humourist. I think nowadays, a lot of parents stand back, and expect the school to be only educator. Enjoying you reviewing style.
Fantastic reaction. I could tell how funny you both found this but more so the frustation and understanding you both have by being teacher's. Loved it.
Thats astonishing, we could all read an analogue clock aged six or under. Still, love the channel, its rare to find a reaction channel that doesn't shout and scream. Excellent 👍
On an open day event at the UK's National Physical Laboratory, I went to presentation on the international time standard UTC. The young scientist was giving his talk standing in front of a large digital display connected directly to THE standard clock, yet whenever he wanted to check he wasn't overrunning he would pull his smartphone out of his pocket. It made me chuckle.
I remember learning how to read the clock, a long long time ago in elementary school back in the early 70s - wow, I'm starting to feeling old ;) We had to make clocks from cardboard and we moved the "hands" according to our teacher trying to show us different times, hours and minutes. I couldn't get a grasp of anything. And after some days of that and me still not getting it, back at home with my mother in the kitchen, she pointed at the kitchen clock and asked me what time it was. And I just told her. Somehow it clicked and that was that. Like some sort of muscle memory. Sometimes things get complicated by overthinking.
The brilliant Dave Allen, my favourite stand up comedian ever. You need to watch as somebody suggested The Airplane one, and the Religion one. He also tells spooky stories.
I remember being taught how to tell the time when I was about 5 or 6, my teacher was annoyed how I grasped the fact almost immediately, why I have no idea….. 50+ years later I collect clocks!
2:07 100% agree. You're their teacher NOT their parents. So many parents expect their child's school teachers, to teach them everything. Ignoring their responsibility as parents. It's Crazy to me. 🤯 This all started being a problem when digital watches and VHS players were put in everyone's home. Kids saw digital displays everywhere.
Great reaction! The shouting is part of the comedy act, but that doesn't make him a bad teacher. He is a Comedian! Please consider more of Dave Allen. I suggest two excellent skits: Dave Allen on *Airplanes* and Dave Allen *on Religion*. Thanks!
My dad taught me from his wrist watch when I was 3years old, he also taught me basic maths.. At the same time my mum was teaching me to read and write. They wanted me to be able to read, write, do basic maths and tell the time by time I started primary school in England at 4. They both did great job, as I never went to nursery school before proper school. My mum was housewife whilst dad worked as engineer so mum made sure I knew all the basics and then some extras. And my dad after work would teach me maths,telling the time. I learnt cursive writing when was 6 at home along with piano and basic French too, in always remember learning from them both and really enjoying it. Was a complete book nut from age 3 onwards, still am now. Blows my mind when I see teenagers not able to tell the time or know anything about their country's history or basic general knowledge. Makes me want to cringe knowing they are the future generation.
I still have my first watch from when I was a kid over 30 years ago it was a timex watch. My dad taught me to tell the time, it looks so tiny now the strap won’t even go half way around my wrist lol
We are in a digital world, but back in the day everything was analog, so we were taught that the minute hand takes an hour, or 60 minutes, to go round and the hour hand takes 12 hours to go round. I remember a test with a blank circle and two hands, with no numbers, just the quarter marks, and having to answer with the time. The numbers on the dial are actually a distraction.
I was unaware young people today can't read a old clock, Im blown away by that, while watching your video here in Australia I asked two young people in a chat room, who are Australian and they can't read a clock either.
In UK, we have a show, called, I'm a Celebrity get me out of here, set in Australia. A young adult admits he can't tell the time still, even though he wears a watch. Patiently someone tried to teach him. I'm reminded of how confusing it must be to teach.
I remember my first digital watch. It was a led witch with a 1/8 inch display and you had to press a button to see the time. It went through batteries so fast. I went back to my analogue watch until lcd;s came along.
I remember my late father loved this guy, whenever he was on TV he would be laughing so hard, of course I was too young to get most of the jokes, but now many years later I'm laughing my ass off and my kids don't understand 😅
i could tell the the time when i was five I was not special i was driven to learn by fear if the teacher thought beating me up would escalate my learning thats exactly what they did its amazing how quickly you learn when the substitute for advancement is bruising.
When I was a kid my mum and dad gave me the job of teaching my younger sister the time (she is dyslexic and they couldn't do it). I did it! You reminded me of it and I felt happy being reminded of it lol
David Tynan O'Mahoney (birth name) aka Dave Allen (stage name)was so fuuny with his observational humour, it was just out of this world. Regret to say he has met his demise. However, to the teacher among you, when teaching children to read the analogue clock, just show them this short film of him. There is no bad language in it. It is just FUNNY. Compound the clock face with number, them you can have Roman Numeralds'. Best Wishes!!!!
I’ve given a friend a watch based on the WW2 German B-Uhr watch. It has a separate numbering for hours and minutes, and the appropriate hands reach their numbers. He has a five year old daughter who’s learning to tell the time and his watch makes it easier.
Googled them, those are cool! There is a German watch manufacturer that makes them from steel from old U-Boats (post war). Forgot the brand name but they look a bit similar.
We were taught how to read clock by drawing the clock and marking the time. The teacher would give us a time (either a direct time or something like 10 past 2 or 30 to 18 etc.) and we had to draw the clock. The hour hand, the minute hand, the minute and hour markers the whole thing.
On a documentary about Dave Allen they said this skit is actually shorter than his live version of Teaching Your Kid Time. The full version they said was about 10 or 15 minutes long. We are so lucky to have any of his material still to watch as he had in his contract that none of his shows were to be repeated. Even now in the UK it is very rare for his shows to be shown in repeats, so whenever they are they are a real treat.
I can remember arguing with my mom 60+ years ago about this stuff I was determined to tie my own shoes and I would damn well figure out how to tell time Bless her she taught me to read before I was even in kindergarten
I was a special needs teacher for 20 years. I used to do staff training on the distance between what a teacher says and what the pupil understands. I used to use comedy sketches for this. Dave Allen would have been perfect. I used the Two Ronnies “fork handles “ and Taxi “what does the yellow light mean?”
Working in Aviation I live on 24 hour time for work (Z/GMT) and home on local time. But as an Aussie expat in the States no one can understand "military time" and with my partner being from the UK she calls Lunch "Dinner" and Dinner "Tea" like my grandparents used to at home. So when I arrive back completely tired I cannot communicate 24 hour time with anyone out side of work and when I'm half comatose and woken up for "dinner" and it's light outside my brain just crashes like an old Pentium III.
This reminds me when my dear departed, a champion Commonwealth chess player, decided I should learn chess : he took out the board and the chess pieces and in 10 seconds told me where each piece should be placed. Then he said "now I want you to move your queen to stop my knight (perhaps - wasn't sure about the pieces). Obviously I was completely lost and wrong. He exploded and told me I was a total idiot - happily my mother told him he was the total idiot who had no idea of teaching !
we had a felt clock and felt hour and minute hands...started to learn the hours first teacher ask a student to place the felt hour hand at a time she designated then when got the hang of that did the minute hands...finally did both once we got hand of minutes and hours...kindergarten teachings
If I was a teacher I'd put an analogue clock on the wall behind my head and ask the kids at random times of the day what time it read. Would need to set it to the wrong time to catch out the cheats. And I'd tell them all that everyone who gets it right gets to leave 5 minutes before everyone else (to keep it with a time theme). Pretty soon they'd all be experts.
I'm old school, to me an analogue watch is more effective than a digital one, you don't need to read the numbers, just look at the position of the hands. A digital watch reads 6:57, which you need to analyse, an analogue watch has the hour hand on the 7 and the minute hand near the 12, without any thought, it's 7 o'clock. Digital age people would probably disagree.
Maybe I was lucky, but when I was young I remember there was a clock that had a red circle for hours and a blue circle inside for minutes, with all of the numbers from 0/60 to 59 along the blue circle, and the hands were blue and red.
I've often thought that Dave should have explained that the day begins at midnight and then its night for a few hours until daybreak. Then its day, all day, for the rest of the day until night falls and then its night again for the rest of the day. If that doesn't make everything perfectly clear then I don't know what will....
The two simple things I struggled with when I was young, tying shoelaces, and telling the time. Having the right teacher using the right approach really is key. I never did get on with the whole fox goes through a hole jumps over a fence nonsense.
Something you do not hear now days is something the older people use to say when I was a kid, if the time was 35 minutes past or 25 too they use to its 5 and twenty to the hour. Thanks for reactiing to this one , it is one of his best. Next time check out Dave Allen "Airplanes" it brilliant.
I went to university as an old age student(32 lol) and most of the other students were fresh out of HS or maybe 19-20, barely any of them could tell the time on an analogue clock, I can understand young kids not knowing but young adults, I was flabergasted, also one teacher asked who could sew, l just like basic stuff, I was the only one to raise my hand, again I was shocked, back when I went to HS we had home-ec(home economics) you learnt basic stuff, cooking, sewing, stuff like that, I guess they don't do that any more here in AU, a shame because you can tell some kids have no clue about basic life stuff.
I learned my son this in a few minutes. As said in the video, just focus on the hour pointer, it's easy to learn kids what hour it point on. To figure out more exact, we use the next pointer after they have learned to understand the hours. Since one hour is 60 minutes, It chould not be so hard for them to understand the minute scale. The rest can be ignored, they will get that after some time.
When I was growing up I made caterpults out of wood leather either from old leather jackets or bought of the local market stalls and Rubber off the same stall ,Throwing Arrows, The flights made out of playing cards. Go Carts made out of wood and pram wheels. Don't think younger generations build anything nowadays.
Am 52 and still can't tell the time, am on the autistic spectrum, it must be hard to tell when students are slower at picking things up with the students that can't pick certain things up, I learned how to fool people at an early age at school with little tricks, till a eye test went wrong, for years I memorised the eye charts listening to people in front of me till one day I went first, they said i was blind as a bat 😂 they thought I'd had a head injury because how sudden I couldn't see and had a brain scan, they found out I had bad eyesight for years, and that I had been going up to the teachers to ask questions but unknowingly to them it was so i could memorise the blackboard, they just thought I was a little slow, I still can't read proper instead I've memorise words, that works until I come across a new word, I don't have the ability to workout how the letters make sounds, i have to hear the new word spoken several times to recall it, I once helped write a medical paper on why we stick our tongue out in the corner of our mouth when we concentrate hard (motor overflow) so my hats off to teachers for not jyst teaching but spotting conditions and other problems that effect learning before it becomes a problem, and not jyst pass some students off as "jyst slow of mind" like my teachers did, times change and so has teaching methods and their awareness, carry on the good work and hopefully people won't slip past to often
Dave Allen was from Dublin,Ireland,where I am from,.He was an atheistq. Talks about the Catholic Church a lot. Che k out those videos,why before his time. He was brilliant
Have you tried a linear 24 hr line, made up of two lines with the hrs line on top made up of 12 hrs and the 60 minute line underneath. You have a pointer on the top and bottom so you can slide them to the hour number you want as you are explaining the hour and minutes. Make sure you have a correlating clock representation at the side so that children can come up and move the hands of that clock to what is represented on the lines!! Get hold of the wood working teacher to help using his class as a project maybe. You can work it out I’m sure! You know that these snippets of the Dave Allen Show which was an hour long show going on for a long time right? Cheers both
That part could have gone on for a duration, too, if Dad hadn’t have been careful and pulled up when he did!.... “....the second hand is the minute hand and the third hand is the second hand!........No, I said the minute hand is the second hand!.....Yes, I did say the third hand was the second hand and the second hand was the minute hand.....no, it doesn’t mean there are two minute hands......because the third hand is the second hand, all right?!! They’re two separate things!!!....The minute hand is the second hand which means the second hand logically is the third hand. Got it?.......what?.....NO, IT DOES NOT MEAN THERE ARE TWO SECOND HANDS, EITHER!!.........BECAUSE I BLOODY WELL SAID SO,THAT’S WHY, YOU LITTLE.....!!!” (And so on!! 😁👍)
Hey Nick hope you’ve been tuning into the cricket!! Us Aussies are well ahead of India in the ICC world test finals, we’re ahead by 318 runs, only 5 wickets remaining. 🇦🇺
Yes. It’s truly sad how India falls apart in every championship final. I can’t see them winning this. The only hope is a draw. If they lose that will be two losses in the only the only two WTC finals. Head and Smith had great knocks.
Many kids know bugger all before they go to school nowadays. My mother taught me how to tell the time and I could read quite well before I started school. I finished all of my reading books half way through the term and had to go to the school library instead. Lazy parenting now.
In grad school they taught us time with a piece of paper with a clock on it and with a pencil we would follow the teachers instructions and learn that way, some reporters go to college towns and ask the kids what time is on this paper? They do not know and you ask them what a quarter hour is and they say 25 after, I fell sorry for us since this is what has become of our young and they don't know where or stats are and so on. What do they really teach these kids?
Then try to teach them how to read an analogue clock with both 12 and 24 hour markings. And yes the same, I grew up before the digitally educated, so there was no choice but to learn how to read a clock.

The old bastard nails it every time 😅. Despite the years that have past, he is still so relevant, and still cracks me up.
Kids not being able to read an analoge clock will be hillarious in the airforce... "2 enemy fighters at 6 o'clock" will have them freaked out.
A sign how good Dave Allen was so good. When the Camera pulls Back you Automatically look for the Little kid asking these questions!
Dave Allen of blessed memory.
My gran introduced me to the joys of Dave Allen when I was younger, he's always been a favourite and when I watch him it's like I'm with them and little again, wonderful memories x

Feckin classic. This had me in happy tears. Dave Allen was one of my favourite comedians when I grew up. 😂🎉
We used to watch Dave Allen back in the day as a family. Long long distant memory. This still cracks me up. He was SO good.
RIP mum & dad.
It saddens me to say, as an Army recruit-instructor, I've had to teach young adults how to tell time. I'm supposed to be teaching these nascent warriors how to fight, navigate using a map/compass, survive in a chemical environment, administer life saving first aid and countless other vital skills but the buggers can't even tell the time.
No wonder I've got grey hair!
This guy was a comedy genius he was amazing RIP Dave
As an oldie, many of us had a good grasp on telling the time before going to primary school. Dave Allen, was such a great comedian and humourist. I think nowadays, a lot of parents stand back, and expect the school to be only educator. Enjoying you reviewing style.
" first day at school " Dave Allen , is comedy gold
That is one of the best from Dave. Excellent review❤
Love all of his gags. Realism. 3rd hand is the 2nd hand 😂😂
Hey guys👍 great reaction, Dave Allen is a legend and I loved watching him as a kid with my mum and dad. Cheers✌️
Fantastic reaction. I could tell how funny you both found this but more so the frustation and understanding you both have by being teacher's. Loved it.
It's about time you did this reaction.
Thats astonishing, we could all read an analogue clock aged six or under.
Still, love the channel, its rare to find a reaction channel that doesn't shout and scream. Excellent 👍
On an open day event at the UK's National Physical Laboratory, I went to presentation on the international time standard UTC.

Yes!!! Been waiting for this 😆 thought you both would be able to relate to this clip 🤣😂👏🏻👏🏻👍👍🇬🇧

I would've loved to have Jodie as a teacher in my school when I was a kid, she's so dreamy.
The brilliant Dave Allen, my favourite stand up comedian ever. You need to watch as somebody suggested The Airplane one, and the Religion one. He also tells spooky stories.
Genius but makes you wonder how we ever learned to tell the time! Seems so complicated the way Dave explains it.
Congratulations on 100K, richly deserved. Thanks for all the entertainment.
I remember being taught how to tell the time when I was about 5 or 6, my teacher was annoyed how I grasped the fact almost immediately, why I have no idea….. 50+ years later I collect clocks!
I never thought that the day or night would come when being able to tell the time would make me feel smart 😊
Poetic license for comedic affect.
2:07 100% agree. You're their teacher NOT their parents.

Remember that I was young and off school with Chicken Pox, so mum decided to use the time to teach me to tell the time. Worked too…
I can remember arguing with my mom 60+ years ago about this stuff
I was determined to tie my own shoes and I would damn well figure out how to tell time
Bless her she taught me to read before I was even in kindergarten
That is beautful. ❤👍
Same with me.

Im amazed i learned analog clock looking back. An im amazed i taught my daughter. She still has no concept of time but can tell time lol
This reminds me when my dear departed, a champion Commonwealth chess player, decided I should learn chess : he took out the board and the chess pieces and in 10 seconds told me where each piece should be placed.

Watch Sir Les Patterson on Parkinson, 1982 Pt. 1. The late Barry Humphries aka. Edna Everage in fine form.
Loved Dave Allen!
I'm old school, to me an analogue watch is more effective than a digital one, you don't need to read the numbers, just look at the position of the hands. A digital watch reads 6:57, which you need to analyse, an analogue watch has the hour hand on the 7 and the minute hand near the 12, without any thought, it's 7 o'clock. Digital age people would probably disagree.
im so old when i grew up we had a clock with roman numerals on it
Maybe I was lucky, but when I was young I remember there was a clock that had a red circle for hours and a blue circle inside for minutes, with all of the numbers from 0/60 to 59 along the blue circle, and the hands were blue and red.
I've often thought that Dave should have explained that the day begins at midnight and then its night for a few hours until daybreak. Then its day, all day, for the rest of the day until night falls and then its night again for the rest of the day. If that doesn't make everything perfectly clear then I don't know what will....
The two simple things I struggled with when I was young, tying shoelaces, and telling the time.
Having the right teacher using the right approach really is key.
I never did get on with the whole fox goes through a hole jumps over a fence nonsense.
I could tell time by the time I was 5, my Granddaughter can not only tell the time but write as well and she is 5 tomorrow
Something you do not hear now days is something the older people use to say when I was a kid, if the time was 35 minutes past or 25 too they use to its 5 and twenty to the hour.
Thanks for reactiing to this one , it is one of his best.
Next time check out Dave Allen "Airplanes" it brilliant.
It's cool you're both wearing digital watches 😂

I learned my son this in a few minutes.
As said in the video, just focus on the hour pointer, it's easy to learn kids what hour it point on.
To figure out more exact, we use the next pointer after they have learned to understand the hours.
Since one hour is 60 minutes, It chould not be so hard for them to understand the minute scale.
The rest can be ignored, they will get that after some time.
When I was growing up I made caterpults out of wood leather either from old leather jackets or bought of the local market stalls and Rubber off the same stall ,Throwing Arrows, The flights made out of playing cards. Go Carts made out of wood and pram wheels. Don't think younger generations build anything nowadays.
Brilliant!!
In the UK we use both digitl and analog.
If you're left handed as a child, you tie the show sitting opposite them. If the child is right handed then sit beside them, or behind them.
Am 52 and still can't tell the time, am on the autistic spectrum, it must be hard to tell when students are slower at picking things up with the students that can't pick certain things up, I learned how to fool people at an early age at school with little tricks, till a eye test went wrong, for years I memorised the eye charts listening to people in front of me till one day I went first, they said i was blind as a bat 😂 they thought I'd had a head injury because how sudden I couldn't see and had a brain scan, they found out I had bad eyesight for years, and that I had been going up to the teachers to ask questions but unknowingly to them it was so i could memorise the blackboard, they just thought I was a little slow, I still can't read proper instead I've memorise words, that works until I come across a new word, I don't have the ability to workout how the letters make sounds, i have to hear the new word spoken several times to recall it, I once helped write a medical paper on why we stick our tongue out in the corner of our mouth when we concentrate hard (motor overflow) so my hats off to teachers for not jyst teaching but spotting conditions and other problems that effect learning before it becomes a problem, and not jyst pass some students off as "jyst slow of mind" like my teachers did, times change and so has teaching methods and their awareness, carry on the good work and hopefully people won't slip past to often
This is funny, you should now watch first day at school!
My dad taught me how to tell the time when I was 8. But then I'm British
Dave Allen was from Dublin,Ireland,where I am from,.He was an atheistq. Talks about the Catholic Church a lot. Che k out those videos,why before his time. He was brilliant
Excuse the spelling auto correct and I don't have my glasses on.
You know I remember my nan teaching me. I recall her doing it in simple terms with Bill hails rock around the clock. Boy she loved bill hairy.
do you mean Bill Haley??? I used to have a curl in my hair like him.
Have you tried a linear 24 hr line, made up of two lines with the hrs line on top made up of 12 hrs and the 60 minute line underneath. You have a pointer on the top and bottom so you can slide them to the hour number you want as you are explaining the hour and minutes. Make sure you have a correlating clock representation at the side so that children can come up and move the hands of that clock to what is represented on the lines!! Get hold of the wood working teacher to help using his class as a project maybe. You can work it out I’m sure! You know that these snippets of the Dave Allen Show which was an hour long show going on for a long time right?
Cheers both
Well that’s how to tell the time, after dinner I will teach you calculus.
In France if the time is 8.45 they say it is nine hours minus a quarter. Neuf heures moin le quart. That would really confuse ones children.
Oldy but a Goldy.
I can't do rabbit-ears, l just tie a loop; and if it gets loose, l just double knot .
Watching Dave Allen there, reminded me a little bit of Bob Newhart. You should react to some of his monologues.
Bob Newhart is a legend. But I haven’t seen his stand up yet. Good idea
@@BoringReviews Had Bob on cassette tapes in the '70s. Brill, but I don't think I have ever seen him on screen. Love your show every day.
That part could have gone on for a duration, too, if Dad hadn’t have been careful and pulled up when he did!....
“....the second hand is the minute hand and the third hand is the second hand!........No, I said the minute hand is the second hand!.....Yes, I did say the third hand was the second hand and the second hand was the minute hand.....no, it doesn’t mean there are two minute hands......because the third hand is the second hand, all right?!! They’re two separate things!!!....The minute hand is the second hand which means the second hand logically is the third hand. Got it?.......what?.....NO, IT DOES NOT MEAN THERE ARE TWO SECOND HANDS, EITHER!!.........BECAUSE I BLOODY WELL SAID SO,THAT’S WHY, YOU LITTLE.....!!!” (And so on!! 😁👍)
Did Jodi just say a 13 year old American child cannot tell time on an analogue clock, why am I not surprised?
Hey Nick hope you’ve been tuning into the cricket!! Us Aussies are well ahead of India in the ICC world test finals, we’re ahead by 318 runs, only 5 wickets remaining. 🇦🇺
Yes. It’s truly sad how India falls apart in every championship final. I can’t see them winning this. The only hope is a draw. If they lose that will be two losses in the only the only two WTC finals. Head and Smith had great knocks.
@@BoringReviews Head just went nuts, remember aus were 76-3, he changed the game with dare I say it "Travball"....
Love this fella Irish man...

The best way to learn telling the time is by rote. Teach kids to memorise the times. Eventually they will realise how hours and minutes work.
Many kids know bugger all before they go to school nowadays. My mother taught me how to tell the time and I could read quite well before I started school. I finished all of my reading books half way through the term and had to go to the school library instead. Lazy parenting now.

In British schools your taught from the age of five!
You're a nice team ❤👍
Please review Greg Davies ‘nicknames’ or the one with the pupil
I tried. My girls say "Why bother? My phone is digital" I have no answer except maybe pointing out a town hall clock. Not much of a come back for me.
Classic
In grad school they taught us time with a piece of paper with a clock on it and with a pencil we would follow the teachers instructions and learn that way, some reporters go to college towns and ask the kids what time is on this paper? They do not know and you ask them what a quarter hour is and they say 25 after, I fell sorry for us since this is what has become of our young and they don't know where or stats are and so on. What do they really teach these kids?
Then try to teach them how to read an analogue clock with both 12 and 24 hour markings. And yes the same, I grew up before the digitally educated, so there was no choice but to learn how to read a clock.
