I had a dwarf on my bus a few years ago. When we got to his stop, I pulled up, lowered the bus and opened the door. He walked up to the edge of the bus and jumped. I swear he did it for comedy effect. I hope so, because I nearly wet myself.
Billy used to pop into my dad's shop near Patrick Glasgow and would always say to my dad...I hope you're paying these weans/ children and he would giggle because he knew my dad never paid us for helping out in the shop after school. Once he bought a box of chocolates and gave them to us. He was always lovely to our dad and my dad enjoyed Billy telling him off
I'm a dwarf who actually just got off the bus 20 minutes ago. I much prefer dwarf (the actual fricking English word) to "little person". If someone offers me a seat? Grateful and happy to take it.
Its humour nothing more nothing less Tall people get humour Fat people At al It's just punchline is funny "I hope when you get hame snow white kicks your arse" That's funny
"you know when you laugh and your legs won't work right?"..........constantly Mr. Connolly...it was the reason that I had to watch your shows more than once...hot damn I wish that I had the honor to seeing him live....
I've loved Billy for years, there's not a joke that he tells,that's not funny, Wise up people, laugh + enjoy it all. Laffter makes the world go round. He's not gunna be here much longer, where are ya ever get another comedian like him?
@@francesbaldwin2526 This puzzles me. I've seen Billy live several times, and not once have i ended up in pain, not once did I wet my pants, not once have I had difficulty breathing. Speaking to other people who accompanied me or have seen him on other occasions, none of them have experienced anything like that. So why is it only on the message boards that people say such things. Are they exaggerating, competing with each other, trying to impress, or just lying. Are they just barking mad.
@@irbennett perhaps we all have a different dence of humour. Still today he makes me laugh at the same old jokes. Simpler times. His ability to take a walk along the street and make observations and talk nonsense about things that just don't occur to us that is brilliant.
@@francesbaldwin2526 What I mentioned has nothing to do with sense of humour. It's the physical effects of seeing Billy that only people on the message boards seem to have. Because I and people I've spoken to have not had them. Normal people. So why do people do it. You think he talks nonsense?
The greatest comedian ever, also such a lovely guy. I was lucky enough to meet him at Aberdeen airport one Christmas Eve where he was waiting for his daughter’s flight to arrive. I shook his hand and thanked him for a lifetime of laughter. There will never be another like him 😊❤
You were so fortunate to have a chat with billy Connolly, i had the privilege of going to 2 of his shows in Tasmania, my lungs got a work out on both occasions. Best comedian ive ever listened too,he is a legend.😊
My favourite story about being on a Glesga bus. I was up the toon just before Christmas, must have been around 2005 or 2006. I was on the 34 heading for Govan Cross and the bus was on Renfield St. we stop at a bus stop and a young mum, about 30ish gets on with her daughter who would be about 4 or 5. The daughter is wearing a pale blue coat with white fur trim, looking very smart and like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. In her arms she's clutching this HUGE giraffe stuffed toy. So mum gets the tickets sorted and they sit down, mum takes the window seat, little Miss takes the aisle seat, there's no room for the stuffed toy so it's now on it's side in the aisle. The driver checks his mirrors before setting off, sees the giraffe blocking the passage and shouts down the bus " Here hen, ye cannae leave that lyin there", to which Miss Innocence shouts back " Ye f*ckin stupid? It's a f*ckin giraffe, no a f*ckin lion". Took 10 minutes before the driver could stop laughing enough to continue down Renfield Street.
Billy gave a performance in London, Ontario about 10 years ago which my wife and I attended. Billy gave a three hour performance without a break. We never laughed so hard in our lives. Amazing comedian.
Connolly and Robin Williams are the sorts of comedians you can see once and fill your laughter quota for life. There are many good comedians, There are maybe a dozen great ones. But only a few legendary ones such as them.
Billy Connelly has the unique knack of describing the MOST ORDINARY and EVERYDAY event in such a way that you will ROLL on the floor in hysterical laughter. . .
He’s a childhood friend of a musician here in London. Their voices are identical as well. I’ve heard a few stories about him growing up and they are absolutely nuts
I watched Billy in Canada with my mother who was born and raised in Glasgow. We never stopped laughing. If you share the same sense of humor it is a beautiful thing. My mother is long gone but I can still hear her laugh.
This man is one of the most profoundly funny and intelligent men on the planet! Same as George Carlin was.... best of health Billy and thanks for being YOU!
The guys a genius, thats because he’s given himself free range to deliver a funny situation without ‘political correctness’ bs. All the great comedians are like this. To bad so sad for the others i will always enjoy a good joke and story, a good laugh is the best medicine. Thats why they don’t want us to laugh, let’s 😂 loud
Billy Connolly is situated, between Richard Pryor and George Carlin on my Comedy Mount Rushmore; as things are going the fourth slot might just go to Dave Chappelle. These guys are possible THE funniest guys ever to walk planet earth IMHO.
I agree but I fear he may not be with us for much longer. I know that may sound awful but it's just something I've felt for a while now. That said, I hope I'm wrong.
@@gordanadelic8533 what do you mean by political correctness? do you mean maybe not purposefully punching down or not being purely racist or sexist and vaguely wrapping it in "humour" instead of trying to be funny? So you just mad that comedians can't be just openly arseholes? Don't think Billy would be very keen on hearing you spew this shite lol
We had a dwarf near us . Not the nicest person I've ever met. One day in the supermarket car park, a woman bumped his car with hers. He got out and came around to see the damage . The woman apologised profusely but he said "I'm not happy " she said " well which one are you then"
I'm from Glasgow and those bus stories are hysterical. When I was getting married, my fiancee and I were taking gifts to our flat. We got on the bus and sat on the side seats, bus is basically empty, past peak hour. I'm sitting next to the pole at the side and I am holding a brass pole off a floor lamp. There is a young policeman sitting opposite me and he is going to the sub station round from our flat. This lady sitting farther up the bus gets up to get off the bus. Evidently bus driver is new, grinding the gears, bus jerking like crazy just as the lady passes me. She grabs hold of the pole from my floor lamp, I was not expecting that, and I let it go. She ends up flat on her back legs up in the air, and she is wondering what the hell happened. I'm hysterical laughing, my husband to be, helps the woman up. She tells him they need to repair the buses, I can't stop laughing. My fiancee drags me off the bus, pole lamp and all and the young policeman gets off as well, 4 bus stops before he should have. Policeman and I end up leaning against the railings of Queens Park laughing hysterically. My fiancee, madder than hell has walked off carrying the shade to the floor lamp. I often wonder how Billy would have told this story. I still laugh when I think about it and that was decades ago.
I've had MANY interesting encounters on the 62 from Clydebank to Glasgow when I was younger, things you wouldn’t experience anywhere in the world other than Glasgow busses😂
That really really made me laugh, i tried to read it back to my wife but I completely lost it, my sides were aching so much, tears streaming down my face I couldn't even see the page, I could visualise the whole thing, So so funny....Thank you
@@Anastajia2005 Billy would be proud to have witnessed that.😂 I imagined it visually and it has taken me 15 minutes to be able to type this. 😂😂😂 THANKS for the Belly laugh.😂🇺🇸😎
If this happened anywhere else but in Glasgow, i'd say "i hope its true", but because it in fact did happen in Glasgow, i'm pretty sure it's a true story lol
This man came into my life when i was impressionable. He's had me in stitches ever since and im now 61. Utterly brilliant at what ever he has turned his hand to. Sorry i missed seeing him live as i now wont get the chance ❤
@@marthacunningham2028 and I never take to trolling innocent human beings whilst hiding behind a nonsensical handle. You need to watch this from minute 4:54 and reflect upon your words.
If you never heard of Bill Connelly until this week then you must be living a very sheltered life. Look at BC and his silver locks, has been around forever, even us Irish folk have been watching his acts for over 20 years.
@@Tombro1856 maybe. I have watched others like Eddie Izzard, Tim Minchin, Jasper Carrott and of course Python for many years. I just don't recall anyone here in the States mentioning BC nor had RUclips ever recommended him until just recently. I love his style of comedy. He's up there with George Carlin in my book.
I have only just realised how fascinating this man really is. Listened to his autobiography whilst working and was totally enthralled with his stories humour life experience and wisdom. He is a real inspiration for anyone who needs inspiration!
Please think, or whoever does the thinking for you, before you post such nonsense such as you did. People fighting for their lives would laugh to recover, for god's sake. How do you think Billy would feel if he saw that rubbish.
You are a living LEGEND Billy ,I've watched your video's for ever I'm 61 and I hope you carry on with tv series it's made laugh and ponder afew things you said in them
indeed m8, i remember 1st watching him with me daa on our 1st tv set and i went to bed laughing abd woke up Saturday morning still laughing......brilliant comedian
It’s the way he embellishes & delivers every joke. He makes a story of every one. Absolutely incomparable. The funniest man ever & a genuine lovely guy 🙏
Because he tells stories not jokes. Something he even says himself, and I think it's true, if he didnt tell whole story and just the punch line, it's like when somebody is telling you a funny story there in bits and your just like "oh yeah funny that"... but ya dont feel what they do. Billy makesure ya do he puts you there takes you with him! Genius
The fact that Billy really enjoys the fun in his stories himself as well, says it really comes out himself, what makes it so great. Billy, you are and always will be Billy and that's lovely for us.
Biggest regret in my life when I look back, is never seeing him live! I've watched him since a kid, grown up on him, watched everything he has done! He is my absolute favorite person in the world! X
The most funniest and most recognizable comedian. An adsolute legend. It was a tradition in our house back in the day of VHS at Christmas we'd all gather around and watch and cry with laughter the latest offering from Billy. The memories.🤣👍🏻😂👍🏻😁👍🏻
As he said, please be true. He still has (in my opinion) the funniest ever stand up routine with "An Audience With Billy Connolly" from about 1983/4. The one with The Archers as a new National Anthem for the Olympic team. Pure genius, I have the dvd and cry with laughter every time I watch it.
I must have watched this video 20 times and still laugh my arse off at it. It is my 'go-to clip when I need a proper giggle. Bless Sir Big Yin - long may he reign!!
I had the absolute honour and pleasure to see Billy a good few years agoThe best comedian I have ever seenA joyous occasion and my sides hurt like hell.It was worth every penny.There will never,ever be the likes of him again.
Currently reading his autobiography. It reads as if he's actually talking. This man is a legend. He's a genius and definitely windswept and interesting
I am reading that book now. And it does read as if he is actually talking. I don't know how many times I have laughed out loud whilst reading. One time I had to put the book down as I was worried I was going to drop it and lose my place from laughing so hard.
@@scarecrowestetson I know exactly what you mean. It's a cracking read. I believe he actually dictated it and his daughter had to translate because the machine couldn't understand his accent
Always loved Billy. I remember loads of his material and the way he delivered it. The poor family with coats on the bed. Wandering the streets, beer in hand, listening out for parties to crash. All funny as hell.
His insight into how we all lived in glasgow makes mr howl with laughter. Yes-when it was cold-before central heating was there- and extra coat on the bed kept us warm. And when he mimics his Mum saying to the visiting priest-“have another custard cream father. That’s what they’re there for…..”- It was hilarious- because that really happened!😂😂😂
@Christopher Wallbank I haven't seen Billy live but Kevin almost made me die laughing in Bournemouth. I thought I would choke to death for a while for lack of oxygen!
The first time we went to see Billy in Sydney, he went overtime so long that our car got locked into the car park. The next time he kept saying that he had to wind up because people had gotten lock out of their car last time. He of course carried on anyway. Luckily we had planned ahead and parked in an all night station this time. He is the funniest man alive! We love you Billy.
I was wondering where Billy was going with this yarn. I too have had an experience like the folks on the bus. Some time back, pre Covid of course, I was going to pick my better half up from the airport. I was already late and the traffic was backed up. I got distracted for a second and bumped the car in front of me. We both pulled over and I'm thinking, bloody hell this is all I need, when out got the other driver and he was a little person (dwarf?) He looked really pissed off, so I got out and started apologising profusely. He looked at his car, then back to mine and was fuming, I mean huffing and puffing, I kept saying how sorry I was and he looked at me and shouted "I'm not happy!" I replied "which one are you then?" My apologies to anyone big or small, offended by this story.
A fan for years & saw him live many years ago. My dearest memory though was seeing Cerano de Bergerac at Edinburgh Fringe with Billy & Pamela in the audience. He laughed SO loudly with his leg stamping into the isle, he was hilarious - the audience didn't know what to watch, the play or Billy. Huge love for such a warm, lovely man. 🇬🇧🏴🏴
Amazing live, laughed so hard for hours and when I left could hardly remember a thing he had said just knew I had literally cried at some points with laughter. Had to buy the video to rewatch. Thank god it was recorded . I still have that video.
From the first time i heard you on vinyl,i have never stopped laughing,you are without question top of the tree in comedy,god bless you for bringing so much joy into our lives.
Must've seen this bit 20 times by now... I know how it unfolds, still gets me every time. I also do hope it's true, the big Glasgow woman should get a comedy award for that.
Would give anything to have a few beers with Billy. Be in the presence of greatness but feel like your with an old friend. That's the man he is. Love him.
There are life lessons in Billy’s humour and I especially love how unfiltered it is. He just tells you what he sees and hears. His brain is a fascinating and beautiful thing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I grew up in Glasgow and remember fondly his earlier observational comedy, about Glesga life. A lifetime of re-telling his extraordinary observations on life. Seen him live 3 times. Never fails to get me in bits. All the best Big Yin.😅
I swear I could listen to this guy for hours tell all his stories, he is just fucking hilarious. But then I would likely end up in the hospital in stitches LOL One of the best comedians this world will ever have.
This reminds me of a story my Mum told me. She and my older sister was taking the bus. My sister who where about 4 or 5 years then, had the habit of pointing at things she found fascinating or peculiar and then asking mum about it. Now, my mother had told her before the ride that if she found something they could talk about it later at home and not on the bus. My sis agreed and Mum thought she was safe until a dwarf woman went on the bus and my sister pointed at her and with a clear voice said aloud: “We can talk about her later when we get home!” The sh*t kids say!😂 Poor Mum!
One of my ex girlfriends told me she saw a midget driving through town. I started to laugh and told her it was a friend of mines uncle. I met him a few times he was pretty cool. I found out he was a tunnel rat in Vietnam.
I thought "the little people" were the leprechauns you found at the bottom of the garden. Well, *_I_* find them at the bottom of the garden. Where do _you_ find them?
Are there any leprous leprechauns? I hope not, because then you'd be able to ask a leprous leprechaun "give us a hand" ... _and_ _he_ _would_ ! Literally!
Billy would have a lifetime's worth of material if he were still going today like this. But with how life and society is going right now... I do 't think even Billy would survive the backlash he'd get! Love Ya' Billy... Thanks for everything!
Billy makes me start smiling with mirth as soon as he walks on stage and before he has said anything. Probably the funniest comedian and raconteur I have ever heard. Bless you for bringing so much joy to so many people. Such a shame that we don't have anyone that comes close to his humour and humility in this day and age.
I never get tired of this one...Heck, I was ending myself at the preamble never mind the main story...All the very best to you Billy, and thanks for all the hilarity you've brought us.
I cannot believe the sheer number of people in these comments, complaining about Billy being offensive. What is the problem here exactly? The world has gone soft.
Oh, you are so very right. Check out the title of chapter 17 in his wonderful autobiography, Windswept and Interesting. It speaks volumes as to what this dear man and indeed the majority of people today think.
He's too busy listening to Shakin' Stevens and preparing for his Michael Parkinson interview. I'm sure he'd love what I just did there being the non pc comic genius that he is!!
Greetings out of Africa! Please allow me to be brutally honest - I always thought that the Bus Stop joke by Kevin Bridges is the top joke of ALL jokes, but now I realise that this Dwarf Joke is on the same level. Absolutely love it!!!

"Partick Thistle F.C. - I call them that because most people think they're called Partick Thistle nil."
Of course he did.
Billy has often said that he could fill Wembley stadium 10 times over with the number of people who said they knew him.

If you never heard of Bill Connelly until this week then you must be living a very sheltered life. Look at BC and his silver locks, has been around forever, even us Irish folk have been watching his acts for over 20 years.
@@Tombro1856 maybe. I have watched others like Eddie Izzard, Tim Minchin, Jasper Carrott and of course Python for many years. I just don't recall anyone here in the States mentioning BC nor had RUclips ever recommended him until just recently. I love his style of comedy. He's up there with George Carlin in my book.
He got one in 2017 and became Sir William Connolly CBE
You’ve found him now 🥰
@@tncorgi92 Strange as Billy was poular in the US. George Carlin was scripted within an inch of his life, whereas Billy 's act was improvised.
I have only just realised how fascinating this man really is. Listened to his autobiography whilst working and was totally enthralled with his stories humour life experience and wisdom. He is a real inspiration for anyone who needs inspiration!
Something about Billy. He could stand there and read the phone book and I'd still be totally engrossed in his delivery. Genius 🙂
I reckon Billy wouldn't get past Adam Aardvark without launching into some story or other that took 2 hours to tell. That's his genius.
@@jamesmcgee7723 😂😂😂 ... Just imagining the "Adam Aardvark - Story"!!
@@marthacunningham2028 Really.
He remains THE finest observational comedian These iles ever produced.
Rubbish joke, terrible delivery. This was the end of Billy Connolly. This was when a legend died.
Best story teller in the history of story telling.
No one comes close in comparison.
The ones when he was out on the Raz in Scotland years ago makes me laugh
Dave Allen comes close.
@@angelaregan475 He did indeed, the man was fearless.
URFOS.
Not even 2 minutes in and I can barely hold myself together. That's the magic of Billy Connolly. Legend.
They way he leans in and goes "ones a fucking dwarf.....and they both know which one it fucking is". Funnier than the actual story gets me every time.
Yes
I’m amazed anyone can last close to 2 minutes watching Billy without falling off their chair with laughter 😂😂
It will be a very sad day when Billy leaves us. The man is a genius!
@@lillianhornby1227 dont say that! lol
Billy videos should be shown in every hospital of the world. People fighting for their lives would laugh to recover.
Please think, or whoever does the thinking for you, before you post such nonsense such as you did. People fighting for their lives would laugh to recover, for god's sake. How do you think Billy would feel if he saw that rubbish.
Laughter… the best medicine.
And if it doesn’t work, I’d still want a chuckle.
He could kill me with laughter but only way to go
Brilliant idea!!
@@kevinbush4300 Or you'd be dead.
Billy Connelly gives my life so much laughter Thanks BC
The brilliant Billy Connelly. Brightening up lives daily.
Especially the lives of the disabled!!
You are a living LEGEND Billy ,I've watched your video's for ever I'm 61 and I hope you carry on with tv series it's made laugh and ponder afew things you said in them
Let the man enjoy his retirement.
Absolutely genius. From Glasgow myself and no doubt the story will be true. That's what us Glaswegians are like. Billy Connolly at his best.
This man is simply the best stand up comedian ever.
Of course you've seen every stand up comedian ever.
Dave Allen he was another great stand up or sit down 😂. Sadly no longer with us.
Billy Connolly has had me in stitches for over 30 yrs, one of the best comedians ever,, ❤️😂😂😂❤️🇦🇺
indeed m8, i remember 1st watching him with me daa on our 1st tv set and i went to bed laughing abd woke up Saturday morning still laughing......brilliant comedian
His first “Audience With” was and still is one of the funniest hour or two on TV.
Plastic pants down the disco. 😂😂😂
Him and Dave Allan....... just pure gold.
He was good in the X Files movie.
Is everyone on here mad? Totally unfunny. 🙁
It’s the way he embellishes & delivers every joke. He makes a story of every one. Absolutely incomparable. The funniest man ever & a genuine lovely guy 🙏
Because he tells stories not jokes. Something he even says himself, and I think it's true, if he didnt tell whole story and just the punch line, it's like when somebody is telling you a funny story there in bits and your just like "oh yeah funny that"... but ya dont feel what they do. Billy makesure ya do he puts you there takes you with him! Genius
@@johnycabs Oh Aye!
🤣Oh Billy you big oaf, everyone dwarfs in comparison to you. 💗Ya
Right off the cuff the Glasgow way
This may seem a wee bit racist but in awl 'onesty more than a few scots I've encounterred can turn anything into a wee funny anecdote lol.....
The fact that Billy really enjoys the fun in his stories himself as well, says it really comes out himself, what makes it so great. Billy, you are and always will be Billy and that's lovely for us.
Billy you are and always will be Billy. What does that even mean. He's not going to change into someone else.
Probably one of the best observers of life, certainly the best story teller. Thanks Billy.
Your day can be headed to hell in a fury and a dose of Billy will have you laughing to tears.
I've heard this story so many times, but it always has me howling with laughter. All the best, Billy.
So you're not in any way deformed then?
@@marthacunningham2028 I'm very much deformed and it makes me laugh because I have a sense of humour. Maybe you should have my spoon and fork off!
This story has got to be true. I hope its true. Oh please be true. I love this story so much. I am in pieces every time i hear it
@@gabbiebarnard7580 It's time somebody told her to shut up.
@@johnkennethwiseman5460 It is true.
the funniest man in the world.He has made so many people laugh and cry with happiness.Thank you Billy
Well he's certainly made a lot of people cry!!
I’m sure I’ve watched this 100times. 😂
Biggest regret in my life when I look back, is never seeing him live! I've watched him since a kid, grown up on him, watched everything he has done! He is my absolute favorite person in the world! X
The most funniest and most recognizable comedian. An adsolute legend. It was a tradition in our house back in the day of VHS at Christmas we'd all gather around and watch and cry with laughter the latest offering from Billy. The memories.🤣👍🏻😂👍🏻😁👍🏻
The big slipper
We were the same, always watched it at Christmas, can still remember my gran being upset at the swearing 😅
God I love you Billy, the way you tell stories has always been a highlight of your shows
For me the humour has always been the highlight of his shows.
Oh, I’ve always adored Billy Connelly. He has always simply been one of the master comedians in the world.
Connolly *
Billy is one of the funniest guys on the planet. What a legend.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Some of the best stories are true . I hope this one is true. It's great.
@johnhorton9637. Billy has said that any story he gets from his sister is true, he would never make her out to be a liar.
As he said, please be true. He still has (in my opinion) the funniest ever stand up routine with "An Audience With Billy Connolly" from about 1983/4. The one with The Archers as a new National Anthem for the Olympic team. Pure genius, I have the dvd and cry with laughter every time I watch it.
Me too!
With his big slipper 🤣
The incontinence pants.... One of the funniest things I've ever seen 😂😂😂😂
I must have watched this video 20 times and still laugh my arse off at it. It is my 'go-to clip when I need a proper giggle. Bless Sir Big Yin - long may he reign!!
I had the absolute honour and pleasure to see Billy a good few years agoThe best comedian I have ever seenA joyous occasion and my sides hurt like hell.It was worth every penny.There will never,ever be the likes of him again.
Note to self. Sides hurt like hell.
Currently reading his autobiography. It reads as if he's actually talking. This man is a legend. He's a genius and definitely windswept and interesting
I am reading that book now. And it does read as if he is actually talking. I don't know how many times I have laughed out loud whilst reading. One time I had to put the book down as I was worried I was going to drop it and lose my place from laughing so hard.
@@scarecrowestetson I know exactly what you mean. It's a cracking read. I believe he actually dictated it and his daughter had to translate because the machine couldn't understand his accent
@@gallifrey1985 Yes I had just read that part yesterday. Love to know what the machine thought he was saying at times. 😆 He is such a treasure.
@gallifrey1985 If you get the audiobook he his actually talking.
Always loved Billy. I remember loads of his material and the way he delivered it. The poor family with coats on the bed.
Wandering the streets, beer in hand, listening out for parties to crash. All funny as hell.
It wasn't coats - it's an eiderdown! lol
@@ScottishScott2024 Mummmmm.... He is trying to stick his legs down the sleeves of the eiderdown....
@@ScottishScott2024 And he got his foot stuck in the sleeve of the eiderdown 😀
His insight into how we all lived in glasgow makes mr howl with laughter. Yes-when it was cold-before central heating was there- and extra coat on the bed kept us warm. And when he mimics his Mum saying to the visiting priest-“have another custard cream father. That’s what they’re there for…..”- It was hilarious- because that really happened!😂😂😂
Love the way he adds humour into an already extremely funny story. It's the way he words it...brilliant.
Best stand up comedian ever.
Possibly
I saw Billy for the 1st time in the late 80's, and never laughed so hard in my life. No one will ever be funnier.
@Christopher Wallbank I haven't seen Billy live but Kevin almost made me die laughing in Bournemouth. I thought I would choke to death for a while for lack of oxygen!
The first time we went to see Billy in Sydney, he went overtime so long that our car got locked into the car park. The next time he kept saying that he had to wind up because people had gotten lock out of their car last time. He of course carried on anyway. Luckily we had planned ahead and parked in an all night station this time. He is the funniest man alive! We love you Billy.
@@ThePhilGrimm Which Kevin? B Wilson? (Yeah but the thought police here are blocking some b words now with their Berkshire Hunting algorithms).
@@Farweasel Yes, Wilson. If what I replied to was still visible it would have made more sense.
You must have a sad life mate.
Billy is an hysterically funny man. I really love when he and Craig Ferguson get going together and tell stories.
Ahhhh...a fellow hobo of the chicken nuggets order. Balls to you sire.
I'm so old I remember when Craig Ferguson was Bing Hitler!
Yes!!!!!!
The Big Yin is, in my opinion, the greatest storyteller of our time! 👌🏻🤣
In your opinion.
@@irbennett That’s what I said. In my opinion.
@@TheBorderRyker That's what I said. In Your opinion.
@@irbennett 👌🏻🤣🤣🤣🤣
He never stops being funny, but he is naturally funny...... makes me cry still
Except when his sister died. He stopped being funny then.
Please God, let this story be true.
I was wondering where Billy was going with this yarn.
I too have had an experience like the folks on the bus.
Some time back, pre Covid of course,
I was going to pick my better half up from the airport.
I was already late and the traffic was backed up.
I got distracted for a second and bumped the car in front of me.
We both pulled over and I'm thinking, bloody hell this is all I need,
when out got the other driver and he was a little person (dwarf?)
He looked really pissed off, so I got out and started apologising profusely.
He looked at his car, then back to mine and was fuming, I mean huffing and puffing,
I kept saying how sorry I was and he looked at me and shouted
"I'm not happy!"
I replied "which one are you then?"
My apologies to anyone big or small, offended by this story.
@@user-ky2xo2ls4m Hahaha, well played.
Oh, please be true.
hahahahaha
"And that's when the fight started..."
@@brianspencer6397 Hahahah!
I’m already in hysterics at him saying ‘please be true’ 😂😂
You are already in hysterics.
I just love when Billy starts laughing at what he's hearing himself saying. :D
THIS man is a true legend of LAUGHTER he doesn't have to try and be funny he is a born natural to entertain people God bless BILLY
What is is it can't be changed. You're so funnyxxx
Oh Billy bless you, you put the world into context... you really do!!! 👌😇🙏
A fan for years & saw him live many years ago. My dearest memory though was seeing Cerano de Bergerac at Edinburgh Fringe with Billy & Pamela in the audience. He laughed SO loudly with his leg stamping into the isle, he was hilarious - the audience didn't know what to watch, the play or Billy. Huge love for such a warm, lovely man. 🇬🇧🏴🏴
Cyrano is a classic!
@@jeanharper9683 it was re-written in Glaswegian. I didn't get all the references, but it was hilarious.
Amazing live, laughed so hard for hours and when I left could hardly remember a thing he had said just knew I had literally cried at some points with laughter. Had to buy the video to rewatch. Thank god it was recorded . I still have that video.
Nobody makes me laugh like Billy, Since the first Parky show, never fails!
And now Billy will be immortalized as Dain Ironfoot, King under the mountain, thanks to his outstanding performance in The Battle of Five Armies!
I have not seen this before and just have to say Brilliant! I did not see the punchline coming. LOL.
John, Australia.
Loved Billy’s shows and his tv specials.
Oh thank you Billy, I needed that. You're still my favourite comedian of all time. Bless ya mate.
I have watched this probably five times in the last 18 hours, and enjoyed it each time.
The best Comedian of all time. We love you Billy ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
From the first time i heard you on vinyl,i have never stopped laughing,you are without question top of the tree in comedy,god bless you for bringing so much joy into our lives.
Must've seen this bit 20 times by now... I know how it unfolds, still gets me every time. I also do hope it's true, the big Glasgow woman should get a comedy award for that.
Would give anything to have a few beers with Billy. Be in the presence of greatness but feel like your with an old friend. That's the man he is. Love him.
He doesn't drink, so probably not gonna happen, Mark.
@@cadelepski5161 he could have the Heineken zero
There are life lessons in Billy’s humour and I especially love how unfiltered it is. He just tells you what he sees and hears. His brain is a fascinating and beautiful thing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I grew up in Glasgow and remember fondly his earlier observational comedy, about Glesga life. A lifetime of re-telling his extraordinary observations on life. Seen him live 3 times. Never fails to get me in bits. All the best Big Yin.😅
Presentation and delivery. He has you hanging off every word then Bang, you're on the floor gasping for air.
Covid?
Note to self. Gasp for air.
How refreshing to be made to laugh after reading all the disturbing news on the utube clips. Thanks for keeping it real Billy.
I swear I could listen to this guy for hours tell all his stories, he is just fucking hilarious. But then I would likely end up in the hospital in stitches LOL One of the best comedians this world will ever have.
Agree - he is totally brilliant!
Rodney Rude ??? I know, he's second best !!!
Fukin class so funny
He is the main character in a very funny movie “What we did on our Holiday”. He’s brilliant
That was masterful! Such lyricism and timing! Lovely Billy.
This reminds me of a story my Mum told me. She and my older sister was taking the bus. My sister who where about 4 or 5 years then, had the habit of pointing at things she found fascinating or peculiar and then asking mum about it. Now, my mother had told her before the ride that if she found something they could talk about it later at home and not on the bus. My sis agreed and Mum thought she was safe until a dwarf woman went on the bus and my sister pointed at her and with a clear voice said aloud: “We can talk about her later when we get home!”
The sh*t kids say!😂 Poor Mum!
Lol!!! So funny, I can imagine that
One of my ex girlfriends told me she saw a midget driving through town. I started to laugh and told her it was a friend of mines uncle. I met him a few times he was pretty cool. I found out he was a tunnel rat in Vietnam.
@@user-lz2bn6eo1jwow ❤
Billy Connolly the most wonderful comedien ever ever. A darn genius.
I love Billy Connolly, he always made me laugh out loud no matter what even at his blue material. And right now I need to laugh.
I thought "the little people" were the leprechauns you found at the bottom of the garden. Well, *_I_* find them at the bottom of the garden. Where do _you_ find them?
Are there any leprous leprechauns? I hope not, because then you'd be able to ask a leprous leprechaun "give us a hand" ... _and_ _he_ _would_ ! Literally!
Me too. I needed this today !! Stay safe and love from South Africa. 😘😘
@@simonmultiverse6349 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Add me to the list of people who needed this much laughter today.
Thank you Billy and thank you to whoever uploaded the video :)
You, dear sir, are eternally Brilliant!❤️❤️❤️
This guy is a fecking legend. Love him. His stories are better than medicine. A cure in itself
Billy would have a lifetime's worth of material if he were still going today like this. But with how life and society is going right now... I do 't think even Billy would survive the backlash he'd get! Love Ya' Billy... Thanks for everything!
Big Yin ..... best ever ...... and in today's world I can't ever see him being surpassed
Billy makes me start smiling with mirth as soon as he walks on stage and before he has said anything. Probably the funniest comedian and raconteur I have ever heard. Bless you for bringing so much joy to so many people. Such a shame that we don't have anyone that comes close to his humour and humility in this day and age.
Not even Dylan Moran?
@@Tardigradeblast He's okay and better than most these days, just not my cup of tea. It's probably an age thing as I grew up watching Billy.
We all need a good laugh, thank god for Billy Connolly 😅😅
Superb comedian. And thank goodness we can all laugh at ourselves again instead of people being (that awful word) "offended"
I never get tired of this one...Heck, I was ending myself at the preamble never mind the main story...All the very best to you Billy, and thanks for all the hilarity you've brought us.
אין כמו אימא בעולם!!!!!!!!!!
I can't tell you how many times I've watched this.
Don't you get out much then?
He nearly lost it at the end and who can blame him! Utterly brilliant 👏🏻
I cannot believe the sheer number of people in these comments, complaining about Billy being offensive.
What is the problem here exactly? The world has gone soft.
Billy wasn't offensive. Some people on here certainly were.
I'd love to see Billy's take on our current situations .I'm sure it would be hilarious and a great tonic in such a gloomy time ! Special man 😍
Oh, you are so very right. Check out the title of chapter 17 in his wonderful autobiography, Windswept and Interesting. It speaks volumes as to what this dear man and indeed the majority of people today think.
He's too busy listening to Shakin' Stevens and preparing for his Michael Parkinson interview. I'm sure he'd love what I just did there being the non pc comic genius that he is!!
@@marthacunningham2028 Don't repeat a joke that wasn't funny in the first place.
@@irbennettGosh this comment is ancient..shuffle along now there's a good chap
you made Boondock Saints beyond divine. too bad you couldnt save the second one.
thanks for the great memories.
Greetings out of Africa! Please allow me to be brutally honest - I always thought that the Bus Stop joke by Kevin Bridges is the top joke of ALL jokes, but now I realise that this Dwarf Joke is on the same level. Absolutely love it!!!
