Billy is more than a comedian. He's a storyteller and a mindset that can see joy and humour in the littlest things. I can never see Soup Of The Day now without thinking of Octopus Arsehole Soup. 😅
Absolutely . He'd go onstage with a rough idea of what he would say ,but it inevitably ended up an inspired hilarious stream of consciousness, then he'd get back on the original thread of what he'd started to talk about. It was amazing how he'd take the audience on that journey making them weak with laughter in the process, absolute comic genius .
I’m glad I grew up watching this legend loved him when I was younger nothings changed he’s always had me in tears of laughter thanks Billy king of stand up comedy
"Potatoes of the night" - omg! You would hope that was a joke but sadly, so many restaurants are so pretentious these days, you couldn't be sure. I guess they have no idea how ridiculous they are.
Went to see The Big Yinn on this tour, I can’t remember a single story and left in agony! I have never laughed so much before or since... the man is a genius.😂😂😂
Remembering what he said is difficult because he doesn't tell jokes, just reflections on what he sees around him each day. I wonder sometimes if he actually said what he says he did, or whether it's what he (and the rest of us) would love to have said.
Before he even started, in my head I was thinking " Potatoes of the Night" was a punk band from P.E.I. I saw in 79, somewhere. I was pretty close. And I think we've all had that waiter once or twice.
@jerrievans3997. You used to be able to get something to put on your answer machine from Billy. If you weren't in when the phone rang, it would go to messages and a voice would say this is Billy Connolly, such and such a person isn't in now fuck off.
@@graemewatson1106 I was crying laughing at his colonoscopy story. It’s one of the funniest stand up clips I’ve ever seen. It’s not for the faint hearted though. Haaa! 😂👍
I'm watching this 1992 Billy Connolly video clip in 2024, and I'm crying with laughter. Thank you, Billy. You make the world a happier place to be in. God Bless you and keep you safe.
The latest in restaurants is "We only take cards" and a big glass jar on the counter full of cash marked TIPS right under your nose so you can't miss it. So now I who only ever paid in cash have to carry a credit card but also a little pack of Thank you cards which I sign and drop into their feckin jar.
This man now has the dubious distinction of making me wonder, for the very 1st time, about the physiology of an octopus regarding location of beak & backdoor (per se)

I agree with him on just tell me what you have and I will be Happy to use my freedom of choice and what I can afford. Things available constantly changing. That's life. F the Posh let's eat.😁
Sir Billy the GREAT. ❤ Legend among men Sir Windswept and interesting himself. 52 yrs old and still no one comes close to the king of funny because it's true. ( Kevin Bridges is pretty hilarious but still not a patch) ❤😂
Spotted my first menu that had a QR code to their website for current prices. Just the names of dishes on there. I guess they want to be able to update them on a daily basis, should it work in their favor. Whenever any business doesnt have prices mentioned I immediately assume it's TFD.
I am in need of help please. I'm trying to figure out if Billy is the comic I'm looking for based on a story I heard on the radio one night while driving. He had a strong Scottish accent (This is why I feel it may be Billy) but I'm not 100% sure. He was telling a story that had the audience screaming from laughter. All I remember about the story was that it ended with these words, "A big boy did it and ran away". If this sounds familiar to anybody I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you.
IT'S FROM A GIG CALLED Get Right Intae' Him .. .. The part you remember is from when he has shit his pants in school .. .. I have it on Cassette .. .. If you want, I can copy it for you .. .. He has his Banana Boots on
@@mysticgatekeeper He talks about a kid in school who could fart at will, so he tried it and shat pants .. ..

Welcome HOME Billy Connolly
Welcome HOME you King of Scotland

I can never see Soup Of The Day now without thinking of Octopus Arsehole Soup. 😅
Does anybody still do Soup of the Day? They might have done 1994, but nowadays?
The next time I start a band, I’m calling it potatoes of the night
There already is a band called 'Dan Beaver and the Potatoes of the Night'.
@@nedkelly5866 ah balls. Oh well, now there will be 2 bands with that name
Make sure you only do mash-ups.
@@wessexdruid7598 haha brilliant 😂
@@musefan12345what about calling your band octopus arse hole soup
Am I glad I am in the same life time as Big yin,👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love how spontaneous he is, he'll drift off topic and then go back to it again later😂😂

@@neilmccormick2064 It's actually. ADHD
Billy Connolly from 1990 to 1995 was simply at his best for me. The World Tour of Scotland is unbeatable 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Those world tour shows are sublime ❤️🌍❤️
I think drunk he was even funnier perhaps do you think?
Absolutely pal. That was his best 👍👍😂
This one, Live 1994, is my favourite. My pal laughed so hard at it that he vomited.
Billy's route 66 tour from Chicago to LA is also brilliant viewing :)
Imagine asking him to scan a QR code for the menu.
What a man, I love this. 😂😂😂
Brilliant Sir Billy Connolly.
With love fae Bonnie Scotland. X ❤🏴
Without doubt the best, his 1994 DVD is brilliant!!! Potatoes of the night gets me laughing every single time!!!!!
I’m glad I grew up watching this legend loved him when I was younger nothings changed he’s always had me in tears of laughter thanks Billy king of stand up comedy
Seen the big yin 5 or 6 times live and have been in physical pain with laughter.
Man is an absolute genius and a Glaswegian to boot 👍🏻
Love you forever Billy. You say what the rest of us feel - and make us laugh like hell. xxx
Not everything, RUclips won't let me.
Billy Connelly is the greatest comedian Scotland has produced. No dates required. He is total legend. Pride of Scotland always ❤
Walking those dark streets of Glasgow... Keeping an eye peeled for the Potatoes of the Night. 🐸😁🐸

Was at a restaurant the other night and on the menu had potatoes of the night I was dying with laughter 😂
haha, class
😄
gtfo! That's awesome!
"Potatoes of the night" - omg! You would hope that was a joke but sadly, so many restaurants are so pretentious these days, you couldn't be sure. I guess they have no idea how ridiculous they are.
i did the eaxct same thing 20 odd years ago when i first went Ireland. i had visions of potatoes standing under gaslights in Dickensian london.
Went to see The Big Yinn on this tour, I can’t remember a single story and left in agony!
I have never laughed so much before or since... the man is a genius.😂😂😂

I was the same when I saw him years ago. Can't just about remember one part of one story but that's it. And I was sore laughing by the end of it!
Before he even started, in my head I was thinking " Potatoes of the Night" was a punk band from P.E.I. I saw in 79, somewhere.
I was pretty close.
And I think we've all had that waiter once or twice.
as a 40 year old chef, this hits home so hard.
I could listen to this man forever...literally...forever. I would pay good money just to hear him tell me to F off at least once a day, lol.

There's a cardinal in the room.
Billy always has been and always will be a legend in my eyes. Brilliant!
I love how he cracks himself up and then he tells you what he was picturing in his mind that made him laugh.
That happened all the time.
First I heard was "riotous assembly" in the 70s and it was on an LP record. I howled and fell in love with this Scotsman's humour.
I'm so glad this is back up, you've no idea what it was like living without it
I was fine.
I Love You Big Banana Feet x You kept my heart & soul strong through the strife & abuse of a hard core Glaswegian childhood too, thank you pal ❤
Potatoes of the Night has stayed with me for YEARS.
Wow somebody mentioned the video.
I love Billy’s face when he says F**k off 2:38-2:41 😂😂
Haa! It’s perfect! 😂
@@talk2birds128 he always has me tears of 😂 then when says f**k off that makes me 😂 even more
@@graemewatson1106 haa! Ya I watching him last.. I ended up watching hours of clips! He’s brilliant! 😂👌

It's nice to have the time to put on a couple of his videos.

Love You Big Yin and Take Care, XX ❤
A genuine funny man who's at his best. When his telling you his observations on life PRICELESS
I love it when Billy laughs at his own thoughts. 🥰
There will never ever be a funnier he is a genius , its just about life ss he see’s it love the man 💕
I saw Billy in my Hometown of Clonmel co Tipperary he was Brilliant.
The latest in restaurants is "We only take cards" and a big glass jar on the counter full of cash marked TIPS right under your nose so you can't miss it.

Epic idea 🤣

why can we no longer see his "scone shoes" sketch?....you use to be able to ..cos that is a work of comedy genius! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey willy, any idea what we can do with this left over venison😂😂
The . One . And . Only . Billy Connolly . No-one tells a Story like this Man . Quite often about Sheer Trivia , like this one . I Shat .
I couldn't have put it better myself . 👴 Cheers 👍👍👍
The big Yin he’s a classic 🥰 so funny
This man's mind took simple every day things and went places nobody else's ever did. Sheer genius
I wish people would stop over using the word genius.
Potatoes of the night might be Billy’s single greatest bit😂
But isn't.
Currently chapter 20 of Billy’s audio book! What a incredibly windswept and interesting man def worth a listen or read.
Superb. As ever.
I went out for dinner one night and looked at the menu, and I saw "catch of the day" on the menu.
Thank you for all your work.... im an ayrshire man and i believe you are the best scots hill hairy arse man out there... you are immortal.... much love man, all the best. By the way, tucs rood the corner....
Love this story
He was at his peak here. Best comedian ever.
A great man. Love you Billy.
Just so good! Thank you Billy!
Goddamn, I haven’t laugh-cried in a while. Thanks I needed that!
nobody does it better , cheers Big Yinn for all the years of laughter , your gift to the world is utterly priceless

Have you had a stroke or is this someone's first attempt at AI?
I prefer Billy's acts from the 70's and early 80's.
It took me 3 days to recover from the laughter.
I'd see a doctor about that.
Mostly catch of the day, is farm salmon in Ireland
My favourite
Mans a genius,
4:38 a potato sung about by Leonard Cohen
Didn't know this channel existed. The dwarf on a bus video came up in suggested videos, and here I am. Subbed obviously! 👍
😂❤love Billy Connolly absolute legend.
Class Act , I stil laugh at the song he did on an album .,Live at Carnegie Hall I believe it was , "The Orient Express " it was called. Brilliant !!
Seen the Big Yin a few times, everytime i went i left in pain from laughing so much it hurt😂
He's always so very funny! Love to watch him.
I agree with him on just tell me what you have and I will be Happy to use my freedom of choice and what I can afford. Things available constantly changing. That's life. F the Posh let's eat.😁
Potatoes of the night must be the ones with their eyes closed!!
Sir Billy the GREAT. ❤ Legend among men Sir Windswept and interesting himself. 52 yrs old and still no one comes close to the king of funny because it's true. ( Kevin Bridges is pretty hilarious but still not a patch) ❤😂
The Leonard Cohen bit makes it sound like 'Potatoes of the Night' is a euphemism for genital warts!
Legend ❤
The funniest bit in the history of planet earth
Do shut up.
He was funny talking to us
Brilliant! Nuff said!.. 🤣
I love when he giggles at himself 😅
Bravo Big Yin, Bravo..
I had this on video back in the day and I wore it out!!!
Potatoes of the Night have a new album out it's called Boil me Peel me Mash me. It's very good.
This is prob the best skit for me
Potatoes scattering like crabs was priceless, Mate XD
That’s the exact bit where I lost it completely. 🤣
@@susanlisson7066 just goes to show women have great sense of humour XD
Like everything the day Billy it's laziness! Very funny as always.
Anybody got the recipe for potatoes of the night?
Just however you are doing them on that night
Wow almost insane but v funny cracking up here

Fingers crossed.
This is classic 👌
Simply the best!

Octopus arsehole soup, brilliant 😂
Incontinence pants!🤣
Just absolutely brilliant . We love you Roy ❤
2:39 My sentiments exactly.
ha ha ha ha ha she gives me potatoes
“Potatoes Of The Night,” conjures up A LOT if imagery. Side note: as I wrote that, it was in Billy’s voice and accent…😂😂😂
You're hearing voices, there's word for that.
