this guy is the voice of the Shrunken Head from Harry Potter.
Ah yes, his finest moment (...)
I followed his trail from there ....
He was famous for lots more before that, boomer.
Hey guys why the long faces 🤣
blissismyname: thanks, nice to know. He has an inspiring story.
That Michael Crawford was so spot on 👌🏻
You look beautiful 😍
His impressions of his Jamaican family, relatives, neighbours, these characters, he was educating me anyway on the background of some of my favourite athletes, actors, cimedians. Explaining how people from the West Indies came over to the UK to start a new life and help repair the country after the war. His Earls Court performance in 1989 was excellent, I was about 14 at that time, the VHS tape was in our house for years.
Good to see he is still our Lenny. Love him. Katanga my friend.
Awaa awaaa!
We used to shout that at other in the bloody street... You've now got me dodging traffic down memory lane
Lenny “The legend” Henry!!🖖🏿
Yes Chef!
Don’t blame DJ Mike for driving past the house after seeing penny’s mum at the front door. Those were the days when kids respected their parents
Who remembers the Steve Martin whiteface impression ?
Tiswas was his real catapault. It was hilarious. I'm sure there was a skit with him and Muhammed Ali on satelitte threatening the Phantom Flan Flinger. If somebody has that it is priceless across the pond humour. Ali getting gobby and pointing his finger while the flinger stands arms folded head up like Joe Frazer. Never matched as a family show. Organised, live chaos.
Why didn't he do his Chinese impression he used to do.🤔
He’s a got a great voice
2:16 I don't understand a ploughman's lunch was he meant to say he was Furious or it was Furious I'm confused if anybody in the future could ever explain this to me it would be highly appreciated thank you.
it's a play on the name of a pub lunch (Ploughman's lunch) as opposed to a lunch owned by a Ploughman... which was just stolen (by the teller of the joke).
Eeech generayshun rool dee nayshun..
TV's funniest doctor
Funny like bill Cosby
Sir Henry
Isn’t that Sir Doodah?
Nearly every sir nowadays has got some young skeletons in his closet, please not you lenny
You mean like cheating on his wife?
@JK- As good-natured and robustly captivating he is, any 'skeleton' would be difficult to believe.
@@mhl8396 i think he is talking about any crime that is not know (if he's hiding something)
@@namelessun they never report it,so many people may not know.
That dentist joke really killed me
Me too - it was funny
that one got me too
you're super cute
Killed the dog, too
I dont get it
Can u imagine the uproar if this guy whited up and did a david belemy impression. Oh that's right he used to often. The hypocrisy from these two
Louis Theroux,??
This is fantastic. In all honesty this is my first time learning of him. I just spent the last three days watching the amazing impressionist azerzz. Finding another talent is a huge gift.
Find Chef tv shows.
Type in Lenny Henry Live at the Apollo. It is Ten Years old. Before Trump and this damn virus
Ditto.!
Lenny Henry is one of my childhood heroes :) He, along with David Attenborough, David Bellamy and the tv series Monkey (with its Budhist teachings) were beacons of light in the 70s and 80s.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly the same here!
I loved him as a kid. Not so sure his humor would make me laugh so much now but he was one of the best shows on TV at the time. Man, he has really looked after himself health-wise. He looks great!
Lenny is a racist
He's the guy who said Africa don't need white saviours, what a pick
Pick?
Guy has been stealing a living. He got no comedy chops.
Shame he’s a racist grifter now. It often happens when someone’s career is over but they need to squeeze a few more quid out of it, or validate themselves as still relevant.
Im Asian, and I was hoping he would do his 'Yellow Face' character. He used to pull his eyes so theyd be slanty, and mock our accents. Cracked me up every time...........
I remember on The Lenny Henry Show, around 1984, he did a sketch on a train, with Adrian Edmondson doing a cameo as a "train nutter." At the start, Lenny says he is about to embark on one of the greatest train journeys in the world. Victoria to Brixton. On the way, he says the train is passing through Clapham. Which, he adds, in a good thing, as the train actually passes through Clapham :)
Weirdly, Lenny got his knighthood not for his entertainment work, but for services to barrel-making. Henry is one of the UK's foremost coopers, a dying art in this modern era. He once set a world record for the most barrels made by hand by one person in one day (46, in 2012).
When he makes barrels he prefers to the called Tommy
And still a boring irrelevant tw---at.. and there you go - life is full of them..
Henry was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 1999 New Year Honours. He received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the British Comedy Awards in 2003. He was knighted in the Queen's 2015 Birthday Honours for services to drama and charity.
@@niteblaster1Henry is about as funny as council tax . We all know why he got his knighthood
Lenny does a great Chinese man impression. Oh.. sorry... I'll get me coat🤦♂ I don't care a damn actually, but according to his woke rules - he's been busted!
Again… why do people find this man funny? I think when you’re so desperate for work to do premiere inn adverts, it goes to show you really weren’t that successful as a comedian…
Best part for me was when he did his Mom's accent. I love that accent. XD Is that Hatian?
Roku daime Jamaican! ♡
@@gretebremseth1622 Aha, I see! Thanks for clearing that up! ^^
@Tim Donovan hi I'm an American who knows who Lenny is
@Timbo Doonovan It's Jamaican. They speak French in Haiti probably because it is a former French colony. Unlike Jamaica. Perhaps ignorance held you back!!
@Timbo Doonovan my god man, you're a bit angry at something, aren't you?
A lot of people owe Lenny a lot. He broke through loads of barriers and gave my generation the best children TV decade. Thanks Lenny. You're the Don. Totally funny.
Lenny Henry is about as funny as council tax . Can’t think why they gave him a knighthood. Oh hang on a minute. Won’t be be watching that pile of lying drivel he’s written for itv either
I can't tell if your being ironic
@@gavinforsyth321or drunk😂
I love that he's still got his Dudley accent.
And that's about all he's got
@@KCC1956 Poor Lenny
He can sing too. Kate Bush had him sing backing vocals on her song "Why Should I Love You"
And no wonder it flopped
@@KCC1956 Nothing Kate Bush does is a flop
@@mvellis3863
Are you joking
My bleedin dog screams better than her
I thought his comedy when a child was wonderful then to see him invactingcroles I thought he was superb. But his comments in recent years, I see him differently now, sad.
Omg, until the end of the video I thought Louis Theroux was Steve Carell
His impression of his mother is my grandmother to a T. LOL
I went to the dentist and he said: "say ah!". I asked why and he said "my dog's dead" HAHAHAHA
This man is not ‘happy unless he is pointing out the lack of diversity,,,,,all of a sudden in my view he is a racist and dangerous. I’d love it if he lived in the Caribbean even though he was not born there.
If he lived in CA is he supposed to be discriminated? Live & Let Live
Wouldn't U want to be seen? Everyone knows about caucasian history. MEDIA Portrays PPL Of Color As Negative.. When U Know The Truth You'll Be Amazed. Be Well
ah lenny henry still as unfunny as ever, time to call it a day like you should have done in the early 80s
Isnt he one of the new "hobbits" in amazon's soon to be DOA show The Rings of Power?
don't know how he ever got on tv
he was never funny and he is no comedian
Mannnnnnn. That's CHEF!
Don't mention The Black and White Minstrel Show
Before I post my comment I would like to state that my ethnicity is Indian. I am 48 years old, I remember watching Lenny Henry on TV back in the late 80’s and early 90’s; my opinion of him back then was that he isn’t particularly funny for someone who is a professional comedian. I also noticed back in the late 80’s how white members of the audience used to laugh at LHs jokes in a not so sincere way, as he wasn’t that funny; but because there was a lot of racism back then, the good white people felt it necessary to be encouraging to LH by laughing his jokes. By the way I don’t dislike LH as a person.
I am going to see Sir Lenny in November 2019 this'll be my 3rd time..the 1st being 1984..guess I'm a stalker >.
Hmm, in 1984, once again after, and soon again in 2019?
3 times in 35 years ...Definitely semi-stalkerish.
LOL!
Reminds me of the voice of the crab from "Little Mermaid. "
JEEZ, Lenny Henry just needs to STOP talking, he is NOT, & never has been, nor ever will be funny.
Who knew he’d become a racial agitator?
'you've seen these impressions before......but not in colour'!
that one slayed me, thank you good sir!
👏🏻 very witty!
I will never forgive him for insisting that CBeebies viewers call him “Sir Lenny.”
Then Lenny Henry appeared on the extremely racist The Black and White Minstrel Show.
I can confirm that the dentist joke still very much works
No one remembers Max Bygraves now :/ I suspect it was only Graham who recognised Tommy Cooper as well.
@@semajttam is that who he was doing i thought it was Les Dawson
His cackle as the shrunken head in Prisoner of Azkaban makes me laugh every damn time
He was hilarious as Chef!
YES!
That's the first time I seen a Max Bygraves impression in a long-time.
They only made him a sir for diversity 😂 what t f did he do to get a night hood f handing them out like sweets 😂
Lenny was so funny especially on TISWAS 😂😂😂
Totally
Used to kill myself laughing at his David Bellamy impression :D
As funny as a fire in an orphanage.
Now a world health expert like Bill Gates. Shame on you!!
When your funny your funny. Memorable voices of the 70’s. Lenny your a legend
In he's own mind that is
@@KCC1956 that's why he's done so well for himself & raised millions for comic relief over the years. How much have you raised for charity? 🙄
And Lenny Henry isn't
He's a whiny victim.
Don't forget the Chinese guy from Tiswas!
He has zero talent.
Chất lượng, Sỹ Luân chắc thích bản Cover này lắm này! Chúc mừng em cùng toàn thể Ekip F. Studio
Lenny was in my sisters class at school and and Johnny Johnson was in my class at school and my best mate and then his sister Dee Johnson was in my brothers class, who you might ask.. they both where band members of Simply Red lol sorry this is my claim to fame lol.
Even though Simply Red is a Manchester band and Lenny is from Dudley? That’s a long commute for one of you each day.
@@MrQwerkafleeg John & Dee Johnson also come from Dudley. Band members of Simply Red
Should have done David Bellamy: Gwapple me gwapenuts.
Racist prat.
Unfunniest bloke ever in the history of the planet
can't stand him.
Definitely a Jamaican Mother.
Grew up watching Lenny on Tiswas oooooooohh.....kaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy haha we we're all doing it at school eh.
De bread and the condensed milk
Is it me or is Lenny Henry just not funny anymore???
Never thought he was very funny.
What about his Chinese one? Hypocrites
"Go on, name me one funny black British comedian" Rick Gervais.
I never found this guy funny at all
Can someone tell me what did the short, old military guy say to Lenny when he was about to be knighted? I didn't get that last line... 🤦🏻♂️ Thanks!
@Lee Thanks for explaining that mate! You're awesome..I did hear something about premiering and wasnt sure if that made sense..😂
Good impressionist for a racist.
Canadian, here. I first saw Lenny in Bernard and the Genie, then found his variety show. Chef is still one of my favourites.
Nice to know someone else on the planet has seen Bernard and the Genie! :)
Did he say Renee was a millenial? 😂
Someone really needs to proof read the closed captions. AI caption generators are clever but not that clever. Unless they were written like that for added comic effect.
Lenny Henry is a very talented and likeable performer. Sometimes I wish he had better writers because there are times he had weak material which undermined his calibre as a comedian. But when his material is good, he's excellent. "Three of a Kind" was a real mixed bag, but "Chef!" was gold.
Was good in his day but not any more
I had a drunken tube experience with "THE WOOD" man...he's rather quick...love him...
Tvvat.
His inverted racism is sickening
Lenny ! Flippin' love this guy - thick and thin x
The late Bob Willis was basically the Brummie Max Bygraves.
He's so great lmao 😹
Apparently not funny anymore..all due to political correctness...even he doesn't think so😂😂😂😂😂
Algernon Winston Spencer Churchill Disraeli Gladstone Pitt De Younger Razzmatazz!
I remember him dressing up as a Chinese racial stereotype on tiswas. And African Katanga. The great racist days...
Could Delbert Wilkins come back ❤
The Lenny Henry show 😊I miss it
Could Delbert Wilkins come back ❤
The Lenny Henry show 😊I miss it
That's the guy who has sabotaged his career? Nice choices mr. "the sky is strange", congrats 😂
Oh.. this is "Chef!" Right?
Generous audience
Wash he could have continued Chef
