In fairness, many people who have a good understanding of a foreign language still struggle if someone speaks that language too fast. he is just going a little slower to help those who need it - the right thing to do in my view.
Steve was such a miserable soul when he was in his prime of his career. Understandably. He took it seriously. But you could tell how much he now enjoys being himself since retiring. Love the guy 😁
In tournaments yes, but get him doing an exhibition and he’s superb, and very funny with it and he’s always been this way. I saw him in exhibition at my local club just after he’d won the Lada championship where he made the first televised 147, and before he’d won his first world championship. He drove up to Lancashire in the Lada and stayed overnight at my mate’s house. I’ve seen many pro snooker players exhibition matches at clubs, Steve was by far the best doing awesome shots that I’d not seen any other pro do. He did the one handed, cue like a javelin, screwback into the middle pocket… but then it was his impression of, then world champion darts player, Eric Bristow playing the shot.
Hey folks, I'm not really a big snooker fan (sometimes I enjoy watching it on TV), but that were 20 minutes of pure entertainment and wow! Thank you! :)
I know nothing about snooker, and haven't heard of any players, but this guy is absolutely hilarious. More funny than most stand-up comedians I've seen!
It's funny, isn't it, that most people made him out to be a boring bastard when he was in his prime, simply because of the way he played the game - as if someone's personality must be reflected in the way they hit a snooker ball! The truth is, he has always been an eloquent, intelligent guy with a great sense of humour. As a player he was simply dong his job through being utterly ruthless.
@@LucasAdamson Peter Ebdon is... rather slow. Takes ages to take a shot. So when Steve speaks English very slowly, and calls it Hungarian... Hungarian: slow; Peter Ebdon: slow.
Steve Davis is a legend. I loved watching his own style of snooker playing when I was a young nipper, that joke made me laugh too. Those trick shot were amazing, well done Steve for still showing us how magic you are.
Brilliant, what a bloke, and to think folk thought he was boring back in the day. He played up to that image lol, legend and in the top 10 players of snooker that I have ever seen. Maybe 5, 👏 👏 👏 , Cheers Steve
@@miklosszabo4551 I've always wanted to explore eastern Europe, there is a couple of Hungarians in my workplace, really nice people! Is marijuana accessible in Hungary? 😂😂
Top man Steve Davis, love how over the years he ran with the boring image he had, a very funny bloke ,maybe not realistic but I’d love to see him come back ....but then again whilst I’m wishing for improbable things I’d like Jimmy White to win a world championship and I’d like a lottery win for myself please
I just stumbled upon this vid...and it reminded me of the time 9back in the 80's when Steve visited our club for a charity frame with a club member and beat him using the butt end of the cue for every shot! A charming and charismatic guy, and so funny!
Well, let me tell you - I DO remember Steve Davis. One of the best. Nobody on the face of the planet was as good as Sullivan. But in his prime, at that time he was unbeatable.
"Hungarian player Peter Ebdon" I can't believe nobody laughed at that, after his joke about how slow Hungarian people are. Ebdon is the slowest snooker player to ever walk the earth 😂 brilliant steve
I did the exact same trick shot, when he came to my uncles snooker hall in Burnley as an 11 year old he asked me to come up and do the same thing, crazy
What a funny guy Steve is. I was born in 86 but do remember Steve Davis when the snooker was on TV a lot more. Used to love a chilled afternoon round me nans house with the snooker on, so relaxing!
A great champion then with a very great sense of humour nowadays. I replay the vid of the rematch with Dennis on a regular base. They never get boring. Thanks for sharing!
What a guy! The other surprise to me is what incredibly good taste in music the man has, and not just that, but contemporary music as well. Hard to believe this is the guy listening to the same glitched uk electronica as me. He’s played a boiler room set ffs :D
Quite the entertainer Steve is. At the beginning of his career, who would‘ve thought this? He was stoic, didn‘t talk much. Facial expressions? You saw any? Great shots btw. I even caught some of them. Whenever Michaela Tabb was not on camera that is.
First player I ever saw dominate snooker in the 1980's, was a big fan as a kid and everyone hated him for dominating ha ha ! But the UK in general always loves the under dog, I was the exception as a kid because for me he was the best I have ever seen.
RESPONDI433 Davis was hated because he came off as cold and a little bit stuck up. You could tell he came from a cushy background. He didn't really make friends or socialise with other players on the circuit. But he's mellowed with age, become far more approachable and seems like a bit of a laugh. I don't hold it against him that he was distant and cold in his playing prime because he maybe needed to be that way to have a competitive edge. Hendry was similar in that regard too.
I understand that the Hungarians are just extending a congratulatory gesture to the young man who played the trick shot in 12:35. In Nigeria however, it's called "let me tap the anointing". We're that religious.
Steve Davis was lucky as he always knew if his snooker career didnt work out, he could always be a succesfull stand up comedian.
If I am not mistaken, he became even a DJ... Thundermuscler
Stanislav Mohorita, Yes, he did try his hand at that, he was a legend at clearing dance floors!
Plane For All To see “clearing dance floors” brilliant mate :D
Nah Steve’s alright, he fills in on radio 2 sometimes and always has something interesting to say and play!
id pay he is great :)
I clicked on this on accident, But it made me laugh. This was worth the watch
20 mins of your life u wont get back
@@leighlawrence1831 It wasn't a waste of my time, It was enjoyable.
Same
BY accident surely ?
Steve Davis's stories/jokes are brilliant!
Charlie mmm) was
Is by brilliant you mean not very well-thought-out dragged on and kind of lazy than yey
Sounded like the audience was really just trying to be polite to me
Just not tho are they
🤝👍
He’s speaking like a classic Englishman speaking to a foreign person
& I like it!
Hes speaking to an audience....???
Triggered again?
Ken oath he is

The man the myth the legend that is Steve the nugget Davis. An absolute snooker genius in his day. 6 world titles says it all.
Love Steve Davis. Such a funny dude.

Is he a top bloke? Where does he rank in the Bloke Ratings?
No, he's not funny.
True
I couldn’t stop laughing. Super performance. Love Steve.
"Mark Williams is my favourite player because when he dropped down the ranking, he came back up......." and 7 months later is World Champion!!
9:59 casually corrects the path of the cue ball with his cue :D
I thought I was the only one that saw it 😂
Yeah! He tapped it !!!!🤣🤣🤣
never thought i'd see the day the steve davis has me in stitches. I got snookered by his personality.
This guy is brilliant. As a player and comedian.
What a legend! When I was that kid’s age I wouldn’t miss watching Steve Davis for nothing in this world.
That’s the oldest looking 14 year old I’ve ever seen
What do they feed them in Hungary lol.
@@Brekner everything they're hungry
i thought you had meant steve davis and then the part with the actual 14 year old came up 😆
Doomedestiny well done 👏👏👏🤣🤣
ArE yOu PrOuDe??!
That wasn't David, it was an intruder.
NURSE HE IS OUT OF BED AGAIN
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Stand up guy. Loved his pool commentary as well. King of the dad jokes, comedic timing much like the timing of his stroke. Spot on
Quickest save ever 18:39 Didn't want a handshake, just his chalk back
Glad someone else picked up on that
I think he was pissed for making fun of him lol
he was pissed bc part of the ball hit his teeth. look at the slow-mo. that hurt
Loool I wouldn't have noticed. He saved it well
I think he just flinched.
"Peter Ebdon. Good Hungarian player."
Took me a moment to get the joke.
Can you explain it to me?
@@LucasAdamson Peter Ebdon is... rather slow. Takes ages to take a shot. So when Steve speaks English very slowly, and calls it Hungarian... Hungarian: slow; Peter Ebdon: slow.
@@SeverityOne Ah yes, got it. Thanks
Even the joke was a slow one.
He who laughs last, thinks slowest :D
Steve Davis is a legend. I loved watching his own style of snooker playing when I was a young nipper, that joke made me laugh too. Those trick shot were amazing, well done Steve for still showing us how magic you are.
Fastest 20 minutes of RUclips ever! Steve Davis what a joyous person you are!
I've never seen or even expected to see a stand up snooker show. There's always something new in life
I couldn't stand watching Steve Davies play snooker. Then he started talking and now I'm a huge fan. Well played sir 👏👏👏
hard to believe this is the same guy everyone thought as being boring.
He did it on purpose his whole career to keep all regards out of him and focus under no radar
This was quite boring tbf
each to there own but I came to read the comments as it was very boring to me.
@laser325 why bring up sexuality, this is victorian times
@@pato20995 your text is boring.So f off
Steve davis living legend.. Master of snooker and pool trick master. He is the best ever player in the history..
"To proof they're random...." (swaps the red balls). Funny guy. He wasn't a bad normal snooker player either.
This guy is a hell of a showman.
This guy 😂
This guy is a legend! One of a kind!
Brilliant, what a bloke, and to think folk thought he was boring back in the day. He played up to that image lol, legend and in the top 10 players of snooker that I have ever seen. Maybe 5, 👏 👏 👏 , Cheers Steve
18:40 Steve went for the handshake, but the dude left him hanging, look at how well he plays it off by grabbing the chalk
eivind østlund ahahaha
He's pissed off because the cue ball hit his mouth lol
That's actually the best stand up I've ever seen xD
Then uv seen nothin
Shut the fuck up
That's one of the reasons Steve Davis always has my respect as a great ambassador for snooker.
The jokes are so cheesy and old school. "I could go right through the ears." I'm still laughing my ass off.
It was tremendous fun to experience! What a showman! And what a show. :)
Hungarian people seem so nice 😊
Respect from England.
Come and visit :) There hasn't been a better time to visit us, it's still cheap but the country doesn't look too communist anymore.
@@miklosszabo4551 I've always wanted to explore eastern Europe, there is a couple of Hungarians in my workplace, really nice people! Is marijuana accessible in Hungary? 😂😂
Orban is very nice 👹
Top man Steve Davis, love how over the years he ran with the boring image he had, a very funny bloke ,maybe not realistic but I’d love to see him come back ....but then again whilst I’m wishing for improbable things I’d like Jimmy White to win a world championship and I’d like a lottery win for myself please
Steve Davis is a DJ now. Seen him playing a set in Sheffield the other year
+Mick Mack I mean, he can come back. It's not an athletic demanding game.
We all would like to see him come back and we all want the lottery win as well lol
how can he come back? his eye sight has clearly declined which happens as you get older!
Jimmy will grow an afro before he comes back..
Brilliant, thanks for posting this Csurgo - köszönöm!
On top of all this Steve is also a superb DJ - I attended one of his sets in Birmingham a few years back.
Wuttt😭😭 nahh i need to know what kind of music he was playing and how it went
@@donfcsal4432 Wonder no more! > ruclips.net/video/TZvtOH_6kls/видео.html
This is so perfect to watch it in the Xmas day!😁
What would be truly impressive is if a snooker player could replicate the late Steve Mizerak’s “just showing off” shots on a snooker table. ;)
Fantastic man! Great snooker player and comedian in one!
''It takes Peter Ebdon.....''
*Guy in crowd laughs his ass off*
The liveliest snooker player 🤗🤗. The world need such a player.
Didnt even noticed I watched this 20 minutes :D He is great comedian with nice shots
I genuinely enjoyed that and I'm not a huge snooker fan. I'm 42, so I know about Steve Davis but I'd never seen this side of him before.
Steve Davis, love you man :) You are a true legend in any capacity
Absolute delight to watch Steve Davis such an amazing entertainer God bless him
A man with class and sense of humour👍
As a British snooker fan who just also happens to be learning hungarian, this video was surprisingly useful.
Steve Davis is aged. He and Jimmy White and Dennis Taylor are my favorite snooker professional.
Woooow you are amazing Steven.
I love your speech and shots too.
Your should start playing snooker again
What a Humor he got !!! Great Snooker legend And Stand up comedian
Great shots, even better presentation!
9:58. Knocked it in😂
Ikr
He literally moved it lol
Soooooo funny
Mr. Steve Davis is legend. Fantastic
Snooker Player.
4:05 "Good Hungarian player, Peter Ebdon"
LMAO
And that's funny because???
@@wanderer1955 He had just previously made a joke about Hungarians being slow. Peter Ebdon is known for playing extremely slow
@@nicholas72611 Ok thanks.
Who said Steve Davies was boring? Better watch this and rethink! Master of the game and now a very funny ambassador of it! 👍
Steve Davis....a gentleman and a class act.

Steve Davis is such a stand up guy! Very entertaining
I didn’t sign up for comedy, but I enjoy it none the less!!
"Hungarian player Peter Ebdon"
I can't believe nobody laughed at that, after his joke about how slow Hungarian people are. Ebdon is the slowest snooker player to ever walk the earth 😂 brilliant steve

Не хватает слов, чтобы выразить своё уважение к этому бильярдисту! Легенда снукера!
🤝👍
Да, и судя по всему ещё и очень доброму.
Steve Davis is a comedian that can play snooker, what a showman!
I didn't realize this was also the roast of Peter ebdon
What a guy! The other surprise to me is what incredibly good taste in music the man has, and not just that, but contemporary music as well. Hard to believe this is the guy listening to the same glitched uk electronica as me. He’s played a boiler room set ffs :D
Who says snooker player can't be a stand-up comedian? Here comes Steve Davis. 😄
Davis is also an amazing pool player. I watched him at the open when he defeated Earl Strickland.
What a LEGEND
Quite the entertainer Steve is. At the beginning of his career, who would‘ve thought this? He was stoic, didn‘t talk much. Facial expressions? You saw any? Great shots btw. I even caught some of them. Whenever Michaela Tabb was not on camera that is.
Cool guy 😂 love it
I had the honour of growing up watching this genius play
I enjoyed watching this imagining Davis was 8 pints down, speaking at The Crucible to Brits.
What a lovely man !! A legend on a snooker table !! 😍
"if you can speak it slowly, you can speak it quickly"
Some sacrilege boi
I thought of that, too. Haha!
Another, Sullivan must a Lingling in snooker.
The UK game show The big break should come back and Davis is your man for the new show .
Uma das coisas mais legais que já vi!
T@Jefferson Onofre di
ARE. YOU. BRAZILIAN.
Enjoyable. Many thanks.
Steve Davis your are *supureb* player in the world ♥ ... it's my decision ! 😘 you have a *unbelieveble* *mind* 👌 from *PAKISTAN* ✌
this is such a classy sport... and the proof is that all its players have charisma and good sense of humor
So good to see Michaela again.
Extremely ambidexterous, makes us all proud in every sport.
Steve Davis was a great Snooker Player!

John Paul Mc Donnell he was a great champion, they tend to be more ruthless
RESPONDI433 Same here - Steve was my snooker hero in the early 80s ... just an absolute machine
He is not only affable but quite funny as well.
‘Interesting’ is a fantastic nickname. Good sport, geezer.
9:59 bruh
your first trockshot show?
he tapped it with the cue
another newbie, welcome!
trockshit show you mean.
Uhhh right
I understand that the Hungarians are just extending a congratulatory gesture to the young man who played the trick shot in 12:35.
In Nigeria however, it's called "let me tap the anointing". We're that religious.
4:08 Illuminati confirmed
Brilliant.no tongues though
Hell yea. They watchn👀
Why what did you see?
Brilliant hahaha
How can you dislike this, that was awesome.
Steve: I tried to learn hungarian
crowd: HAHAHAHA
Thanks Steve!
