Lily Savage Funniest Moments: Try Not to LAUGH RIP

- Опубликовано: 2 апр 2023
- Lily Savage was a pioneering Drag Queen that broke ground in the 90s as the first Drag Superstar to lead daytime and primetime TV. Becoming a benchmark by which comedy is judged, Savage's influence is vivid among all British Drag to this day. A persona that was retired nearly 20 years ago, it's harrowing to know, Lily's burgeoning comeback into a entertainment once more has prematurely stopped.
Lily leaves behind a body of master class comedy.

I always saw Lily and Paul as two separate people. Lily was the person who made me cry with laughter while Paul was the gentle person who loved animals. I'm going to miss them both.
For real for real. Grew up watching both.😊 Actually got tears😥
🙏 I agree. I grew up watching him, aka Lily, and continued to watch Paul with my children. Heart of gold, gone too soon and will be forever remembered
I’m going to miss them both too ❤😢😢
Me too ❤
Lilly Savage was that good as a Character...she was a real person ❤
"The SS lost a good woman when she retired".
What a line!!🤣
I absolutely feckin loved Lily Savage and still do. Paul was a genius and no one will ever come close. RIP you legend ❤
'I had to have my pelvic floor laminated' what a line 😅😅
I died when I heard it first hahaha
😂😂😂😂😂
Brilliant and Joe's reaction said it all.
I've seen that sketch several times and I still laugh my head off 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
His one liners and delivery were unique such a talent 😢
He had such razor sharp wit and whizzed in and out of his prepared material which such funny impromptu quipsa
He was excellent at improvising wasn't he! So talented at comedy, and a lovely person off screen too, RIP Paul O'Grady, you will be missed xxx
thanks for this, I remember being a kid and watching Lily - she was doing TV during section 28 in the UK with a Tory government, like this shit was GROUND BREAKING. Lily was a love letter to working class british matriarchs, their resilience, wit and good humour
Pioneering on the face of such homophobic politics
He was funnier in pubs for years before TV.
Being a member of the LGBTQ+ community, all we can say Lilly and Paul has left is with two holes in my hurt. I loved him by his gentleness and Lilly for her fantastic clipped tongue!
Paul even has a cameo in Doctor Who! He will never be forgotten as a member of the LGBTQ+ Community. He and Lily helped immensely. And all the secrets of his beautiful nature. May he be happy wherever he is.
I have never been upset over a celebrity’s death. But when Paul passed I felt genuine sadness. You could tell he was just a lovely lovely man. A huge loss and there will NEVER be another like him
You are so right. I couldn't believe the huge sadness I felt, and that I actually cried for someone I have never even met. Yet he felt such a part of my life. I grew up watching Lily Savage when she first appeared, and I was in my early 20's. I introduced my Mom to the character, and we would both laugh our heads off watching her. Paul had a wonderful, warm personality, and even though we never met him, we felt like we knew him. He is a massive loss to all who loved him.😞
Same!! Just one week before he passed I was able to find a dvd copy of my favourite Lily Savage stand up show. I was so excited to watch it for the first time in years and it reignited my joy for his shows… and then he passed. I was gutted. A huge loss to the UK. And Dame Edna passing so soon after was just salt in the wound
So agree, so brilliant as Lily & so caring as himself. Fabulous man, taken too soon. ❤❤
My God, he was bloody amazing wasn't he. A diamond ❤
The phrase you are looking for is, "national treasure".
incredibly funny, a heart of absolute gold, and a backbone of steal. A fighter for equality and fairness. Paul and Lilly will always be my heroes.
I don’t think anyone has had such simultaneous influence on the world of Drag and the world of Dog adoptions. What a legend, gone too soon. Rest in peace Paul.
The influence this persona has on UK Drag can't be undermined
I'm a female and she looks better than me! 😂 Long live Lilly 💞
I agree, but he was much, much bigger than drag.
@@suereeves5994 The drag persona hasn't gotten the credit it really deserved. It was groundbreaking
Both Lily Savage & Julian Clary have really influenced the British Drag Cabaret scenes. Both haven't ever had enough credit. I've been waiting so long for a queen to go on a rupauls drag race and showcase these amazingly talented people for years, but its never really happened. Shame.
That's nothing to be proud of
My love of drag started with Lily. Nobody has done it better. Don't think they ever will.
I wish I had those legs !! Loved Lily.😂😂
@@linrob1312 I was gonna say. Nobody else had those pins, nobody male anyway.
Rupaul, sasha colby, divine all on the same level
@@JakeInTheUK …no they’re not. They’re sexualisers.
Lily was just Savage. She wasn’t kidding herself.
@@madwhitehare3635sexualisers?
Paul O'Grady was a genius. To create a character such as Lily Savage takes a vast comic mind. R.I.P Paul O'Grady MBE. You touched the hearts and lives of millions. You will be sorely missed. They broke the mould when they made you. There never will be another Paul O'Grady
Cringe
@@FiveDORRA I completely disagree with you. Lily was a very special creation. And Paul O'Grady was a genius
@@FiveDORRA Imagine how sad you have to be to come on a thread celebrating a guys life and make little snide remarks and putdowns. You sir, are a POS.
He was an interviewers dream as he talked and talked. Brilliant! Rest easy Lily/Paul
we are going to feel this for some time, this loss. thankyou paul and lily, for your courage, determination, your cultural staying power, for standing in lock step with the lgbtiq community since civil rights movement times, and then living on to cheer us up through the first global pandemic in 100 years. some heroes don't wear capes, some wear wigs.
'some heroes wear wigs' ... love this- very true!
When it feels like you’ve lost a family member, you know that the person was special. Gutted he’s gone. 😥
Paul is still a legend, i had the pleasure of meeting him when he came to present a "National Prize" winners cheque (£10,000) at the bingo i worked in, in Liverpool in the early 90's. When he came out on stage dressed as Lilly and went into his rapure with a packed/sell out bingo night. There wasn't a straight face or anyone without sore sides through laughing. Paul we miss you so much. Hope your up there in the heavens still making them laugh, my late mum (who passed away in March 2023) loved you so much. RIP sir for you shall be in our hearts forever.
The wit, one liners and empathy of this human will be forever missed
Oh Paul! Can't believe you're gone. So sad. Loved him. Loved Lily. The looks she would give 😂😂😂😂 RIP leg-ends! ❤😢
Beautiful, acerbic and FABULOUS! Lily made me laugh in my darkest times. RIP lovely Paul xxx
I can't say I'm a fan of drag in general, and modern drag especially, but Lily (and Paul) will always hold a place in my heart. This brings back such memories for me, laughing my head of with my nan. Truly a national treasure and we are worse off without Paul.
How 'modern drag ' any different to what it has always been? Or do you just believe what the msm tell you?
@@alixtheprofessionalcatherd6850 why so aggressive? I've seen plenty of modern drag thank you - I'm a gay man. And I don't care for it. I don't care what you think of that.
"Surnames girbles" I don't know why it gets me every time 😂
Göbbels, presumably
The SS lost a good woman when you retired... classic line.
@@oldvlognewtricks it’s Goebbels
I love the Anne Frank line…
I wish the American people could see this! Lily Savage is the mother of British Drag and Paul was the voice for all animals. ❤❤❤
How enormously funny & entertaining 😁 was he. My generation grew up with Lily and my girls have grown up with Paul on telly and his work, care & love ❤️ for dogs and animals. What an incredible man and wonderful soul. RIP lovely & live on in our hearts 💕 💞 💔 xxxx
😂😂😂❤❤ You'll be missed love. Thanks for the laughter and joy you brought to life and your kindness and help to animals.
Ohhhhhh Bless him. What a wonderful, beautiful, clever, funny, caring guy he was. He has left us way, way too soon. He will be very sadly missed. xx 😪💔🙏
My favourite queen and no-one can come close! Lilly is pure gold and will never NOT be funny to watch
Thanks Paul, for just being you, and Lilly!❤❤❤
I always hoped we might get a comeback...
Really sad. What a loss! Such a great performer! Truly missed ♡
Never be another rest easy Paul, thank you for all the laughs.
Sending love for Lily from America. She was a legend and will be sorely missed.
Genius & gentle!❤❤What a special spirit he is
Yes. Not just a gifted, Comic. As funny as ANYONE. Many people had stomach issues after seeing him. They laughed that much. But a genuine human being. Utterly thoughtfull and helpful.
How could you just not love Lily 🤍 devastated to hear the news of Paul’s / Lily’s passing, although he retired her character many years ago, she has always, and will always live on forever in our hearts. Rest easy up there legend 🤍 love you always xxx
I live in Houston, Texas, and I'm 75 years old. I have admired and enjoyed drag queens all my life. But I've never heard of Lily. I'm so glad I found her because she is fantastic!! I also discovered Danny Larue. They live on in our hearts. I love you Lily. ❤❤
I spent a few memorable moments with Paul in his Vauxhall days and had many a laugh with him but what made lily so special he created a character and a history with lily there never be another one
R.I.P Paul, total talent, fantastic person 🙏
This is a loss for us all, RIP and thanks for the funny and heartfelt moments.
"AOWWW THE FOCKIN 'ELL DO AHH KNOW AH'M NOT PSYCHIC AH'M SAT 'ERE TRYING TO WATCH THE TELEVISION AN' ALL YEU'VE DONE IS WITTER WITTER WITTER DOWN MY FOCKIN EAR'OLE"
To think there are weirdos in the US who think drag is dangerous. Drag artists just help us to laugh at ourselves and we need do much more of that. My Nan loved Lilly Savage and Paul O’Grady was the finest of men
There is a world of difference between what Paul O'Grady/Lilly Savage represented and what now passes as children's entertainment in public libraries. With all the profanity, innuendo and risqué topics, Lilly was an innocent character compared to today's story book drag. Don't confuse the two otherwise the innocent legacies of the past will be lost.
Just the one, s who engage with children
@@jamesroyce1845so glad you said that. Lily Savage and Dame Edna Everage were alter egos of really talented artists who had rapid fire wit. Nothing like the horrors that pass for “artists” these days. Miss them both so much. 😕🇦🇺
This drag is natural. Not like the weirdos in the U.s who look like clowns!
@@jamesroyce1845 you sound like the Mayor in Footloose.
The ONE and only Legend Lilly Savage
Unique and caring man
Rest in peace Paul
Your a star and 🎉
RIP Paul, you will be missed so much 💥
What a pro! This is British drag at its best…
I just realised - I knew Lily Savage before I knew Paul O’Grady 🤣🤣🤣
Lily was truly a one off she was so in tune with her audience timing on point and and killer jokes truly talented
Thanks for this. Made me happy and sad at the same time. God bless you Paul x
Glad you enjoyed it
RIP PAUL. LILLY'S TEA TENT AT PRIDES IN THE PARK WERE FAB. MISS YOU ALWAYS💜
2 very different persona’s but both loved by millions I will always be grateful for the many weeks I spent with Lily filming live from the lilydrome which was filmed in Blackpool precious memories I get to treasure
Blankety Blank is one of my favourite shows simply for the humour and wit of Paul/Lily. The improvisation was amazing.
"Two things you need in a riot people, flat shoes and a pram" 🤣🤣🤣
One word, "LEGEND" ❤
I adored Lily Savage when I was younger, I had all the dvds of the stand up shows! I see what’s going on in America right now & I remember the Uk prime time shows were hosted by a scouse drag queen!
Lily / Paul were WAY TOO WITTY to be appreciated by about 50% of Americans. They just don’t get it, and the Christo-Fascists get their knickers in a twist over anything. I would have loved to meet Paul. Amazing person.
Oh Lily, you ARE missed! I've a sore stomach from laughing 😅 What a treasure you were.
Such a talented man, I loved lily savage and Paul. RIP 🙏🏻
RIP Lily/Paul you wonderfully funny beautifull soul, we will miss you so much, the world is a drab place without you!!
I loved Paul as Lily x I loved all his shows, with the animals etc, he was the best of the best, there will never be another one like him. I was so upset when I heard of his passing. It’s as if I lost a relative. May he RIP.
Loved lily and Paul my 8yr old loved watching blankety blank total legend paving the way for sooooo many people going to miss you forever in my heart x
Id actually forgotten how amazingly funny he was as lily, he went way too soon. RIP
I grew up on Lily's Blankety Blank and the Paul O'Grady Show. He was welcome viewing on the telly at home. Bye Paul. You'll be missed 😭
RIP Paul. AN icon and amazinly genuine person
I cry every time I watch him he will be so missed
Such a great loss.
Rest in peace. Paul O'Grady z''l may your memory be for ever a blessing❤
That look that she draws the audience … only a true performer can do that and get a laugh
Lily was Savage af. I miss her. She could turn on a pin, whatever happened, and everyone would be in stitches
Let’s hope more stuff comes out the archives of Paul/Lily
No matter how many times I watch Paul/Lily always makes me laugh 😂
LOVE HER. SO FUNNY. Rest In Peace. Paul O'Grady.
Loved Lily Savage 😊 x and bless you Paul xx
It's a testament to Paul's exquisite talent that he could go from being someone who everyone would be happy to be around to the acid tongued Lilly who everyone would avoid...Amazing
❤❤❤
I saw Lily many years ago live and she was soooooo funny.I was laughing from start to finish.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣One of the best live shows I’ve ever seen.I was so sad when Paul died. He was such a great person.RIP Paul.😢
Never been into drag but Paul’s Lilly Savage is a total send up and he was the master at it , his like will never been seen again . RIP Paul
I couldn't believe it when I found out he has died! I had the pleasure of meeting him well his alter ego!! R.I.P Paul you will certainly be missed by millions but never ever forgotten. You behave yourself up there and cilla
I feel the world has lost 2 great humans at once, Lily and Paul. Because though he gave us Lily, of course he was very different out of drag and I saw them as 2 different people so RIP Lily Savage ❤ RIP Paul O'Grady❤
Ohhhh I’m going to miss Lily Savage 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Awesome. You'll definitely be missed. Love the 1 liner jokes. Rest in peace Paul 'lily savage '" ❤️ xxx
The best nights out I had were at clubs with Drag Queen comedians. None of them could top Lily though. Never got to see her live, only on T.V. Paul O'Grady created such an amazing character.
Absolutely amazing live as Lily in club scene
Lilly and Julian Clary were the best.
Such a Icon. Really sadly missed
There was something special about Paul & Lily. Lily’s presents on national TV made such a huge positive impact on drag communities and the LGBTQ+ communities and he made such great headway in winning the public over. Such a great individual to watch. I felt Lily & Paul were friends that made you laugh, cry, down to earth, brilliant quick one liners and just all rounding genuine human being. It was like having to friend’s in 1. So sad and Lily & Paul will be very much missed by so many!! I grew up with both Paul & Lily and feel like I’ve lost 2 good friends. Xx😢xx
Lily Savage was part of my childhood. She made me roar with laughter. God I love you both Lily and Paul.
Went to Liverpool last year. There was a lovely mural of Paul and Lily painted on a building on the Birkenhead side. Wonderful tribute
Pity Lilly never wrote her memoirs, the book would have been hilarious, & a best seller, maybe someone will do her autobiography, if the weather is very rainy this summer, it will be because Lilly has the angels piising themselves laughing,!!!! R. I. P LILLY we ll miss you girl 😢thanks for all the laughs❤, Paul thank you for all your charity work especially for animals bless you always, R. I. P kid you'll be sadly missed 💔
What a great idea. Can you imagine the filth hahaha
@@popland1977 Just have to make sure the woke brigade don't get their "I'm offended hand's on it" , Lilly fan's don't need or want drippy censorship we are grown ups with a sense of humour & can relate to reality
Irena b Evans Lily* was brilliant.
@@janetthomson7886 Absolutely agree with you there
I thought Paul OGrady had written his biography
Sending my love and condolences to Paul O Grady's husband and family.
This is my second channel where I make video essays on my favourite Divas

Thank you, but please don't put that silly headline up, it's so tired. Try not to laugh. Why!?
What a Legend thankyou for the laughs 🤣🤣
they'll never be another Lily Savage
Missing you already Paul 💝😪
Legend. ...as lilly and as the beautiful Paul with his huge heart 💞💞💞
He was a proper northern stand up comic . Paul, Caroline, Victoria and Peter. Legends xxx
Omg Paul/lilly is possibly the funniest UK celeb ever I was heartbroken when I found out about his passing truly can never be replaced
Paul should really have been given a knighthood years ago. Class act and the epitome of great British drag. ❤
fabulous! So many memories of Lilly Savage in the 90's in Manchester.
Savage was awesome.
The true Queen of drag .
Loved this. Thank you.
awwww god rest pauls soul , what a fabulous legacy he left
Total star and funny as fuck...
Bless you Paul
R.I.P
Apart from Danny la Rue and Dame Edna, I think Lilly Savage was one of the very top Drag Queens, I used to cry laughing, Paul is missed x
This compilation is a great tribute. I never caught much of this character on TV (think I was maybe too young) but I thoroughly enjoyed this video, thanks.
Rip Paul o grady and lily savage. You made me happy when i was depresses
More talent in his little finger than any of today’s ’Stars’
