I lived in Australia for 3 years and I came across a few blokes similar to Sir Les Patterson and thought the world of them. Aussies for me are top draw. Barry Humphries was a one off..an absolute legend. RIP Barry.
Yes, for sure. I think the '82 Parkinson les interview edged this one out but they're all just hilarious. Truly, truly great humor is supported by great intelligence of course. He is well known for possessing both and it works out so well for us. It is such a great treat It's a brand all his own. It's beyond brilliant and he's a generous gift to all of us.
This brilliant man is on a peak no other can ever achieve. It is my humble opinion that he is and always will be the absolute star in the crown of comedy. Brava Mr. Humphries, Brava!
There will never be another like Barry Humphries. Sir Les' s persona is merely one ingenious extension of perhaps the most funniest and intellectually witty gentlemen of all time,,,, in the very Australian art of "taking the piss" Thank you Barry for the side splitting laughs.!!!!!
For those who haven't noticed take a look at Sir Les's left inner leg. Jacki Weaver can't stop looking at it. It's amazing what this guy gets away with on TV.
He dropped the disguise because Barry Humphries tried to sue him for doing an impersonation of him too well. It is funny how 2018 Barry now looks like 1985 Les. It is amazing though, how he does all this without one vulgar or swear word. It is all in the delivery and your reception, but he is bowling the jokes so fast most people can't keep up.
Yes indeed! And to think he was treated so unfaily and disgracefully by the so-called "Comedians" of today in Melbourne is totally shameful! The fact that anyone can actually laugh at their miserable attempts at comedy is amazing! It's embarrassing to see! Bring back the TRUE comedy geniuses with the Style of Barry Humphries, Paul Hogan etc! RIP Barry and thanks for the memories!👍👍
Anarchist, maniac and satirist all wrapped into one!! I still piss myself with every post. . . before his departure and to this day. Utter brilliance!! Irreplaceable. .
Absolute comedy genius, the likes of which will never be seen again. RIP Barry and thanks for everything ❤️
Oh God I almost couldn't breathe for laughing so hard. Barry Humphries is and always will be, comedy gold. Sir Les in full flow is unstoppable.

One of the funniest Parky interviews I've ever seen, Sir Les is an absolute Legend! Thank you Barry Humphries for all these years of laughter! 😂👌

His intuition and timing are second to none. No one can hold a candle to his biting wit. I doubt we we ever see the like again. A master at his craft.

Quite frankly, he just loves Australia
Nice to see you "incog," Mr Humpries. But no need to talk yourself up.
😆
Agreed
Genius comes in many forms, but to use it to make people laugh out loud, and at THEMSELVES, thats the best.......god bless SIR LES.❤
An Aussie Icon! Always lifts me up if I'm down! Such brilliance!
There will never be another like Barry Humphries.

Rest in peace Barry Humphries. A great comic legend ❤.
RIP to a comedy genius.
Unfortunately this type of comedian will not be seen again, such a shame that our freedom to laugh has also been removed !
Ah .. the days .. the hours .. the moments when one could laugh and jolly sans being offended. Long live Sir Les!
Wonderful stuff.
RIP Barry.
"He has piles.....of charm"...a gr8 comedic talent who happens to be from Oz..but is a global force.....thanx Barry....

"this bloke can capture laughter and applause, in the wake of ratbags, poofs and crashing bores!" Hahahaha

"I've got a big subsidy for that lead sheila, I'll slip it to her later."
Buzzfeed writers, Guardian writers and Twitter activists need to watch this.
Like it! Wish Uhmerica had somebody that was funny outside of saying "fuck" in every sentence. Thanks for the Aussie originality.
I love the respect from Jakie to " Sir Les " haha !!
Rip Barry
Now that so much of what he says is practically an arrestable offence, he’s even funnier .
Brilliant
If there were any qualities in Australia and its history, since colonised, then it was Barry Humphries.. rip..
Brilliant, thanks for posting :-0
Jackie better be careful - are you with me ?????
Yes indeed! And to think he was treated so unfaily and disgracefully by the so-called "Comedians" of today in Melbourne is totally shameful! The fact that anyone can actually laugh at their miserable attempts at comedy is amazing! It's embarrassing to see!
Bring back the TRUE comedy geniuses with the
Style of Barry Humphries, Paul Hogan etc!
RIP Barry and thanks for the memories!👍👍
True brilliance!
Very clever man .. genius
GOLD.
The RAN need HMAS Patterson. A Destroyer that cruises between Singapore, Hong Kong, Manila and Bangkok perhaps..
Bloody HILARIOUS!
Delightfully politically incorrect
2:31 lucky the camera wasn't too close! Great spittle to complement the poem
RIP
RIP Parky!
Great clip, though I remember seeing it 81, 82 at the latest
I bet Parky got that poem framed on his wall
What does an alcoholic do? Stop drinking. You got me sir.
From a distance, Jackie Weaver & Kylie Minogue are almost twins!
a lot has been cut from that ....
So great made me laugh
a great grotesque the shoes are beaut bonzer.........
Sadly never be allowed in 2021 The political correctness tossers would see to that!! Simply hilarious come back Sir Les.
Revoltingly hilarious.
Sir Les for Prime Minister of Australia - Couldn't be any worse than JOOOlya!!!
genius poem
thank god no p c brilliant
Wow, he is even better than our Foster Brooks.
Commenting on Sir Les is not easy
. He is certainly Australian
Classic
The yanks just don't get it, they have a really ordinary sense of humour. George Carlin was the exception
I think he needed bigger shoulder pads
LOL
Anarchist, maniac and satirist all wrapped into one!! I still piss myself with every post. . . before his departure and to this day. Utter brilliance!! Irreplaceable. .
@Freddieboy44 - I agree! This Aussie lowbrow stuff would be too highbrow for most Americans. But it's just genius.
SD: Mostly its too Aussie/British and there is no cultural recognition for Americans.

@@Treebeard1952 The man is a Genius of comedy there has never been another of his kind and there never will be
I hated young talent time:(
2:30 brilliant!
I'm not a show pony 😂
I wish I’d been born in 1950 rather than 1980
Barry Jones appears to be forcing a laugh and is somewhat all at ease.
Charles Gordon I think he's worried he'll be the target.
Who is the young woman?
:-)

How cute is Jackie? I just want to put her in my pocket and take her home.
She's beautiful
Who’s watching in the past?
Im not a show pony👌👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
