Sitting on the floor in front of the tv with no remote and only two channels to choose from with mum n dad and the rest of us kids, laughing at each other laughing at Dave Allen ....priceless memories
Yes,good old ,days, when families all sat together in the lounge, laughing their heads off... after eating fish and chips on a Friday night,,,, memories ...
Irish take the monopole of humour ... to me ! I went over 100 times to Ireland and met extraordinary people , such a humanity, such an outstanding humour ... love Ireland !
This man oozed charisma. He was handsome, charming and intelligent. My father idolised him. When his shows came out in the early 1970s it was like watching a highly sophisticated professional beguile you with his Irish charm. Great comic, sD3ly misssd.
Saw Dave Allen perform this material live at the Albany Theatre London in 1990. I lost weight laughing. At times I wished he would stop. I had laughter pains in my gut. He was incredible. I hope his god went with him.
I was just a kid when I first saw Dave Allen, and that sign-off line of his ['and may your God go with you'] was pretty amazing for the time. Thanks for reminding me of it.
I agree with your comments and the amazing thing about this great master that is Mr Dave Allen is that a lot of what he says is still true to this very day
My brother and I saw Dave Allen live - both left the theatre in pain from laughing. He did this segment about planes and since then any time we fly we both draw little black fins on the safety cards.
Without doubt, Dave wasTHE greatest stand up/sit down comedian of all time in my opinion. Dave made hilarious skits, too. The guy was nothing short of a stellar comedian and the best storyteller ever born. Wow, what a talent he was...and what a terrible loss.
This was actually right at the end of his career, when he made a comeback at the end of the 1980s. His most popular period was during the 1970s, which ironically was a time when very few comedians were funny or clever (although Dave Allen was).
He is still bloody funny despite having seen most of his shows. Really took the Mickey out of anything and everything. Pity there are not more of hil ilk around.
dont know how many times I have watched this, and others from him, but they never fail to make me laugh. He was one of a kind, not been anything like him since.
A true gentleman, a creative genius, a pleasure to listen to.. . So genuinely funny. Brought so much happiness and humanity to the world... the world loved him, I hope he realized how much his audiences loved him.
My first flight as a 9 yr old I can still remember asking grandma if anything was to happen at 35,000 ft why we had a lifejacket instead of a parachute.
*A parachute!? HA!* What, because with all the panicking that'd be going on, you think you could properly strap on a 'chute? (It's a harness, not a rucksack.) Especially if it was your first time? I'm guessing some people still wouldn't have the guts to jump anyway, even with their life on the line. Then there's the weather: you don't want to be parachuting when it's too windy. Even without bad weather, you could still find yourself in a region that's inappropriate to land... Hey, like, water! Hope you included the lifejacket as well. You didn't? Oh... Hope you have a knife to quickly cut the 'chute loose and take/cut off your clothes and that you're a good swimmer... Sounds like the kind of thing a nine-year-old and grandma could "easily" handle... :) So, really, you're much better off waiting for the plane to be flown/glided down, pop the lifejacket on, get yourself in the brace position, land (if gear still works) or hit the land/water, and get out when instructed (inflate lifejacket if appropriate of course). Legit question (especially if you're a youngster), but parachutes in planes is not going to happen! Unless you're going skydiving...
@@bluesfall3265 Parachutes are fundamentally not practical as emergency devices (in the context of passenger airliners, of course). Now quit worrying and enjoy your flight!
My dad introduced me to this genius of a man, it has been my absolute delight to share him with my kids....especially love the "telling the time" talk! His humour is greatly missed! 🤣💔
Dave Allen was a talented funny man, he made me laugh so much, I could watch him over and over and still laugh as much on the 10th time as much as on the first time of watching him..
I started watching David Allen 35 years ago. He was right after Monty Python on Sunday night. He's one of my favorite comedians along with Billy Connelly..
My lovely, late dad's favourite comedian. Loved watching Dave with my dad, we laughed until we cried. :) :) And I still will NEVER set foot on a bloody plane? lol
I nearly choked on my cheese and pickle baguette watching this. A lot of the comedy that I grew up with doesn't seem that funny today, so if it still makes me howl then that person's a comic genius to have made comedy that's still relevant today.
Dave Allen is one of my absolutely FAVOURITE comedians. He is absolutely hilarious. One of his best shows was the one that contained the anagrams that revealed the names of the politicians during the 80's. Satire at its best!
I love how he got the most simplest of tasks and turned them into something so funny ie Shopping and waiting in line at the 9 items isle or less. R.I.P. Dave Allen🩵
If you want to have another laugh find the one where he is talking about Christmas and rushing around at 5 p.m Christmas Eve trying to find a little light that was manufactured in Korea in 1953? and how you drive around at night around New Year's Eve trying to find a lawn to dump your tree on and then get back to your own lawn and find three other trees dumped on YOUR lawn! It is rib breakingly breathtakingly hysterically funny !! Sorry I don't know what it;s called - maybe someone else can help? And look up the one where he is telling the story about how he lost the top part of one of his fingers!!
He is one comedian that leaves me in stitiches so bad i cant breathe at times...esp teh supermarket sketch and the one about teaching a child about religion..
I immediately thought of Carlin's airplane routine. "They tell you to get on the plane...everyone...get on the plane. Fuck you, let Evil Knievel get on the plane. I'm getting IN the plane!"
Billy Connolly, Jasper Carrott, Peter Kay and Dave Allen are the 4 funniest stand up comedians I've seen. I've seen all of them and nearly died laughing.
@Vic Tomised I saw him live in Bridlington when I was about 16. He went on an hour after the scheduled close and everyone missed their buses home. No-one left. He was a very funny man. I also saw Tommy Cooper, and he was hysterical.
My wife and I saw Dave perform in Norwich in the 80's. I was laughing and at times crying so hard that I would often miss the next joke. Sadly my wife sat stone faced the whole time. Best 2 hrs of my life.
He was on the T.V.last night on BBC 2 first time I've laughed out loud in years, which made me remember how great he really was, I live on my own, so it was a real tonic in these unsettling times

Ireland's gift to the world...he made everyone laugh...he certainly brightened up my childhood...
Jep ,exactly. He was so unique...
Agree, and I’m Australian 😂😂
Yeah he got me thru depression
Helped me lose Jeebuz. Been watching him since I was in primary school. He was a lovely person too.
@@golach420Jeebuz 😅 love it
Absolute genius. Dave Allen takes the mundane and turns it into a hilarious routine. He doesn't waste a word!
Exactly he was a consummate performer with very few equals

I sometimes think we were better off then.
Hear hear! 👏👏👏
I soooo know what you mean.
*"...SO YOU CAN KISS YOUR ARSE GOODBYE!"*
Probably the first time this well known phrase was *EVER* uttered.
Thank you, Dave Allen.
Dave Allen ! Priceless gift from Ireland!
2023 and his humour appears as fresh as the day it was first spoken ! Priceless and timeless!
Irish take the monopole of humour ... to me ! I went over 100 times to Ireland and met extraordinary people , such a humanity, such an outstanding humour ... love Ireland !

My brother & I would always watch Dave Allen, we'd laugh ourselves stupid! Thanks for the memories, Dave. RIP!
Miss him, left a big hole in TV comedy & it's never been filled. He's unique!
Timeless ! One of the best comedians ever 👌

My ma's fav. My Dad pretended not to laff
He was an absolute genius who sadly cannot be replaced. RIP
I've watched so many of Dave Allen's videos. Many of them, multiple times and I never get tired of his humour. Absolute brilliance.
So it is xxxxx
I've just found these old Dave Allen video and forgotten how brilliant he was. Not many modern comedians could lace his boots.
His comedy has aged brilliantly.
Saw Dave Allen perform this material live at the Albany Theatre London in 1990. I lost weight laughing. At times I wished he would stop. I had laughter pains in my gut. He was incredible. I hope his god went with him.
Yes, I am sure that I have a hidden six pack because of him.
very lucky if you saw him on stage, would have loved it !
yes we also saw him at our Queen Elizabeth Theatre Vancouver BC Canada many years ago. He was amazing, 2 hours of non stop laughing.
I was just a kid when I first saw Dave Allen, and that sign-off line of his ['and may your God go with you'] was pretty amazing for the time. Thanks for reminding me of it.
I had the same experience seeing him live in London. I nearly asphixated myself by laughing so hard I couldn't breath.
This man was simply the best, and his work is still simply the best!
Loved that guy all those too many years ago ... His joking with everything and everyone will never age
Still making us laugh in 2019...Dave, we salute you.
Super hero lego
Super hero lego play
I do also, I just discovered him.
I agree with your comments and the amazing thing about this great master that is Mr Dave Allen is that a lot of what he says is still true to this very day
Dave Allen ... one of the greatest comedians of my life-time
Dave Allen my own favourite. Not forgetting George Carlin. And Stewart Lee... and Bill Hicks was good- 3 gone, and one let himself go ages ago.
Idiot
Funny guy one of the best

Easily one of the all time legends of comedy. All original and pure class imo.
I really enjoy Dave Allen RIP He hardly used obscene language what a brilliant comedian
Watching this in Lock down here in the UK. The master story teller Dave Allen.
I used to sit with my mum back in the and watch him
@@thefedsarewatching4815 Great memories.

Stay safe.
This man was a genius, laughter personified, one of our greatest entertainers, RIP Dave.
Absolutely brilliant from my childhood to now I’m 60 this genius makes me cry with laughter and was beyond his time for the dreaded BBC
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Tears leaving my eyes with the laughter !! 🤣. Comedy genius . Sorely missed .
in the days when comedians were funny and clever.this guy was at the top of his game.
so could you put in a linke to one of the clever ones?

Wow that humour is timeless. RIP Dave Allen and thanks for keeping our funnybone that much funnier. Keep those guys up there entertained!😍

I love Date Allen. I was brought up with his sense of humour in the 70's. Well cool 😎

Its marvellous how little this has dated over the years. I've seen stuff a quarter the age of this that seems positively ancient in comparison.
My first flight as a 9 yr old I can still remember asking grandma if anything was to happen at 35,000 ft why we had a lifejacket instead of a parachute.
That's one of the best comments I've read almost ever..
*A parachute!? HA!*
What, because with all the panicking that'd be going on, you think you could properly strap on a 'chute? (It's a harness, not a rucksack.) Especially if it was your first time?
I'm guessing some people still wouldn't have the guts to jump anyway, even with their life on the line.
Then there's the weather: you don't want to be parachuting when it's too windy.
Even without bad weather, you could still find yourself in a region that's inappropriate to land... Hey, like, water! Hope you included the lifejacket as well. You didn't? Oh... Hope you have a knife to quickly cut the 'chute loose and take/cut off your clothes and that you're a good swimmer...
Sounds like the kind of thing a nine-year-old and grandma could "easily" handle... :)
So, really, you're much better off waiting for the plane to be flown/glided down, pop the lifejacket on, get yourself in the brace position, land (if gear still works) or hit the land/water, and get out when instructed (inflate lifejacket if appropriate of course).
Legit question (especially if you're a youngster), but parachutes in planes is not going to happen! Unless you're going skydiving...
I've got to fly in a couple of weeks so for the love of God please tell me what the answer is??
@@bluesfall3265 Parachutes are fundamentally not practical as emergency devices (in the context of passenger airliners, of course).
Now quit worrying and enjoy your flight!
The logic of a child. Love it!
There will NEVER be a comedian like Dave Allen again #FACT
Kevin Bridges is the best in the go at the moment.
pcpaulius Jesus, that was a bit rough even if it was Obampot.
For me Dylan Moran is the modern day Dave Allen, he's got his own unique bizarre style as well though.
My dad introduced me to this genius of a man, it has been my absolute delight to share him with my kids....especially love the "telling the time" talk! His humour is greatly missed! 🤣💔
Oh wow! I vaguely remember that! Or at least I remember falling apart, laughing!
Going to have to look that one up
Dave Allen was a talented funny man, he made me laugh so much, I could watch him over and over and still laugh as much on the 10th time as much as on the first time of watching him..
I miss him, he was a genius, still is, R.I.P Dave 2019.😅
Huge fan of Billy Connolly but Dave Allen was the all time king of stand up. A true legend
Two of the best. Billy and Dave Allen. Lee Evans and Mickey Flanagan are good too.
Cant stand Billy C. Ď.Allen in a class by himself
I started watching David Allen 35 years ago. He was right after Monty Python on Sunday night. He's one of my favorite comedians along with Billy Connelly..
Billy Connolly. Not Connelly!
John Turner Love Billy Connolly. Thank you IdleAl
35 years ago? More like 45....Dave Allen was most popular in the mid 70s and Python finished in 1974....
I remember John.
John Turner good taste mate!
I miss him so much. Love Dave.
I'm new to Dave Allen, but I have been binge watching videos for a couple of months now. Can't get enough of Dave Allen!
Monty Python did nothing for me , but Dave Allen always had me in stitches
Billy Connolly is good too.
@@TexasDog3 Connolly relies too much on foul language. Real comedians don't need to do that.
My lovely, late dad's favourite comedian. Loved watching Dave with my dad, we laughed until we cried. :) :) And I still will NEVER set foot on a bloody plane? lol
One of the best if not THE best. Brings back great memories watching him with my family, all of laughing so hard🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely brilliant! I remember Dave Allen from my boyhood. He did standup ages before standup was invented. Thank you for sharing!
I remember watching this the first time around. It's 2019 now and this is still as funny as i remember.

I am so fortunate a friend told me about Dave Allen! He may be the greatest stand up comic of all time!
I am crying with 😃 laughing. This is what real comedy is all about. Dave Allen.the best...👌.
I feel so privileged to remember the 60s and 70s on TV. The problem is - the good times have finished pretty much and it's very depressing.
It makes you grateful for youtube.
He was really great, down to earth and realistic with his immediate summing up of the situation.
I love how he got the most simplest of tasks and turned them into something so funny ie Shopping and waiting in line at the 9 items isle or less. R.I.P. Dave Allen🩵
Reminds me of my childhood. Great talent that TV is completely void of today.
What a great comedian he was.Still so funny all these years on God bless him.
Hello Anita
'we're about to make an emergency landing on the side of this mountain' 😂😂😂
This guy was fantastic. Greatest ever.
please just like this if you like Mr Allen...........no comments, just appreciation for his comedy.
Every time he says "that's bloody nice of them,isn't it?" I laugh my ass off
Remember watching this when it was first on and still makes me cry laughing
Myself and my brother watched it when it was first on too... we were in stitches... the "deaf bastards" bit had us on the floor

Kate: I liked the one where he tells the story when he was a boy and his first visit to the Catholic school. Hilarious!
So many comedians have used a variation of this airplane routine… especially the use of a whistle in the ocean… Without doubt Dave was one of the best

He was the best comedian of all times.
Hello Chris
What a great comic he was.One on his own, How he managed to keep a straight face ( most of the time ) a true diamond geezer.
Bloody GENIUS. The master of observational comedy before anyone (Peter kaye etc) and yes he is good too :) Mr Allen is the best..
Reflection, more than observation
Apart from Kenny Everett he was the only man who could make my grumpy dad laugh till he choked.
Just a great storyteller. A true legend x
One of my favorite stand up comics from back in the days lol
Loved this man! Brilliant comedy. He was way before his time!
The two best observational comedians of all time...
Dave Allen and George Carlin
u are absolutely right.
Paul Braasch...yes, and Bill Hicks🌺
Billy Connolly has to be the best observational comedian I have ever seen.

Amazes me. He banned repeats of his shows.
Dave Allen was one of the very few people who got better as he got older. Most performers in anything start like a shooting star then fade away
a legend one of the greats
Bruh im so glad i found this g he’s the funniest comedian ive seen in a while
A true legend
The whistle part had me laughing so hard :D
My most favourite comedian ever. Love him.
he always made fun of "heaven" - strange comment
Grace Roberts: Dave Allen was an atheist. He is dead and non-existing.
anonymous johnson oh I think we deserve more for honesty
I wonder if he ended up behind the wall, with the rest of the Catholics? ;-)
The gift of making people laugh ....priceless.
