He was the best. No- one has ever come close. He was the whole package. Brain the size of a planet, funniest man ever lived, all wrapped up in a man more handsome than most film stars. Never see his like again. We still love you Dave. ❤️
I'm Aussie, and it's guys like this that show me how much the Irish have influenced our culture. We are very much a British 'soup' so-to-speak, but the Irish definitely had a huge impact on our culture, and, as I said, it's guys like Allen who who just show how much the Irish impacted on the Australian accent and cultural mindset. And it remains to this day.
Wish I was Australian, love everything about the culture, way you brandish the C word and give no fks ❤️ that's my brain. I'm stuck in the UK with a bunch of arse hurt posh twats 😂🇬🇧👊 f borrisnthebleeders
Weird ,I know.True though,like many Tans/Auxis he was an Irishman.Later a newspaper editor who lost a leg when a printing press fell on him.Went to a fancy dress ball as a matchstick
4:40 - It wasn't an apple. People keep calling it an apple (possibly because the worlds for "apple" and "evil" are very similar in Latin), but nowhere does it say it was an apple. It's described as "the tree of knowledge of good and evil" (not "good and apples").

I am certainly not a ladies man . But I do know a good number of women as friends . Now the vast majority of these females are middle of the road , don't follow politics or anything else except for gossip , and keeping up on political correctness . The vast majority would give Dave hell for these mild jokes about differences of men and women . I know one who laughs her head off when she sees and listens to this type of comedy . And on top of that she is an economic socialist ! i think its those everyday females today who have got us men by the you know what , lol !
Same here, she happens to be my girlfriend. She loves anything politics, humour related, that is. Only thing is me and her don't exactly see eye to eye on certain political issues, but that doesn't get in the way of our relationship. Point is, I get where you're coming from, it's nice to actually be able to talk to her about stuff like that
His story telling was great though the punchlines were always a bit lame. But the hypnosis story is told with great expression. The unfortunate anti-gay joke was nicked from Bob Hope - should have been left there. Otherwise, an amazing man.
You the joke police? I think what's unfortunate is you thinking some jokes are off limits; not cos they aren't funny but because you are personally offended.
OMG Saturday Nights in the 70's kicked ass for a kid. SNL followed by Dave Allen followed by Monty Python. Pure Magic.
Dave Allen was decades ahead with his comedic insights.
On this anniversary of Dave's passing, we miss you mate. You changed so
many lives and left a legacy we can never forget. Thank you!

Dave Allen -GREATEST Comedian EVER. GOD Bless & R.I.P. Mr. Allen,Thanks.
Genius. I can watch time and time again
Whenever I need uplifting. Dave Allen is here for me. Love love love him
Today "pushing boundaries" in comedy does not even compare to the shock of Dave Allen in his time.
Considering the time and place, it's equivalent to a comedian taking the piss at the government in Germany nineteen thirty seven.
He got past standup, and created sitdown comedy. Way ahead of everyone.
His best stand-up was when he used to sit down.
Dave was so on point with the catholic religion and life. I loved him then and now.
So good that he had the confidence to be a sit-down comic.
How I miss that man. Used to sit with me da on a Saturday night and the both of us roaring with laughter.
Still so current, he's brilliant!

Nose knickers we are all wearing them now lol xx
Legend. Saw him in the West End as a kid with my Mother.
Brilliant missed the man/ mam& dad luvved this comedy both sadly gone/ great memories Dave allen forever
There us a DA style joke in your comment..
A creative genius. Funny and clean. I miss his style and wit. Irreplaceable.
its amazing how what he says is simply the truth and it just shows how stupid humanity is which is the best joke of all
Hahahaha! Amazing, handsome and funny guy. He was funny because most of the things he said were true with added humour.
I wouldn’t go so far as to say handsome. Maybe it’s the haircut.
Absolute brilliance.
Thank you, RUclips for letting me discover Dave Allen and George Carlin.
Absolùtely fantastic
The best.

I remember it from years ago on PBS as one of their British comedy imports. Him, Monty Python, Frankie Howerd, Paul Hogan, Good Neighbors ...
love Dave Allen
I watched his show 40 years ago
LEGEND 👍
Him and the Big Yin are comedy Gods .

I just love hearing real laughs in the audience rather than the generic clapping and some idiots screaming and whistling.
Agree...
Amazing Talent ,best comedian, Can Never be replaced, always makes me Laugh. Great Loss .
OMG would love to see him and Robin Williams together
Pat Greenwood I don't think they're in the same cemetery

I was looking for the Dave Allen gag about the sadist and the masochist but alas cannot find it.
Legend

Only the Irish...God Love'm...🍀🍀
He has a physique that would intimidiate-He is IRISH SCARY
He's intense, that's for sure. He also had those celtic looks so I'm sure the ladies were throwing themselves at him ;-)
@@LJY08 oh yes, ladies were throwing themselves on him. GOOD FOR HIM. AND THEM😂😂
@@annelieswallace237 are you a squirter?
👏👏Going to Saint PATRICK'S DAY 🇨🇮🇨🇮🍀🌀👉
Great Irishman and a wonderful talent.Strangely his da was a Black and Tan.

Sorry ,he went to the fancy dress as a Toffee apple.
2:01 - a Minecraft reference, before Minecraft?
😅🤣😂❤️
I dont think this qualifies as stand up, its more sit down comedy than anything really.

The joke is what women want to listen to a man and do what he tells a woman to do ..
Every room in my hotel bedroom had a bible and they were all stolen -
Reckon George Carlin was a fan?
A few of those stools dont look sturdy

As they say in the classics...

Always dressed smartly unlike the bland, unisexless oxymorons of today .
