You should have heard some of his early characters. Sir Les is a combination of Senator Doug Manton, Minister for the Yarts (a play on Sir Talbot Duckmanton, then chair of the ABC) and a union leader called Lance Boyle, Secretary of the A.C.U.N.T.. Lance was far worse that Doug but there are bits of both of them.
...and the feminists can't stand us, they rather paddle the pink canoe... A deadly remark nowadays. But therefore - hilarious - and forever - great humour!!
Barry is the greatest comedic talent this country has ever produced. RIP Bill.
A comedic genius in the autumn of the greatest career in Aussie comedy or indeed show biz. Thank you Barry and regards Sir Les.
They don't come any better. Priceless, and a fitting tribute to Australia's best and most fearless cartoonist. Vale Bill Leak.
'.... Paddle the pink canoe .. ' oh my days Les/Barry always comes up with one I've never heard.
such a clever comedian and such a great character sir les is!
What a brain.. Seriously a genius at work
The priceless "Sir Lez."
Les is a legend.
Sir Les Patterson, possibly the most politically incorrect and funniest character. Barry Humphries is a genius.

He adores being outrageous!
Class, class all class, in a class of his own.

It's the passing of a generation.
Sadly, they don't make both of them like this anymore.
My tummy hurts from laughing so much 😭
Ideas should be shared. Love always,
Brilliant.
'Goin' for a paddle in the old pink canoe'.
In another video his hair is done like a koala bear. Side-splitting, deliberate banter followed....💖
Great Video! Love it!
As Les, he always looks like he's bashed into a lamp post, and i keep wondering if a heart-lung machine lurks under his shirt ! 😅💖
Complete and utter comic genius 😂😂
Tim Warner! LOL!!
it's as full as a pommie complaint box
Not unlike Quantas planes arriving at Heathrow that still emit a whining sound, long after the engines have shut down...
