========================== ALWAYS PLAYING THE VICTIM ================================= There was a meeting to discuss There was a "Developments in Gaza" the last time there was a slaughter that drew public attention, and the "Distribution of Humanitarian Aid" was the bogus objective of that meeting, which was broadcast live, on Friday the 6th February 2009.

I'll never forget seeing that show live on the TV i think it was Billy 25 years anniversary we recorded it on tape and watched it over and over for years. Brilliant 😂
This TV Special is true comedy gold and stand up at it's finest. His performance here will never stop making me laugh till my sides hurt. As a Scot, I'm immensely proud of how Billy Connolly is so well loved through the generations and around the world. He is our legend and hero. The master of storytelling. ❤🏴
Such a classic, I have watched this many times over the years however, as I get on in years, I see the audience and it breaks my heart to think that so many of those wonderful people are no longer with us, Personally people like Robbie Coltrane, Brian Glover and Bob Hoskins, to name but a few, will always be missed dearly.
He's the comedy eyeball personified. ❤❤❤
10:58 "OH, F*** OFF!!!" 😅😅😅😅😅😅
Work in Govern shipyards in the 80 ‘s full of characters all of whom liked a drink !
Brilliant comedy.
See, everyone can get along...Irish, English, Scottish, Welsh, everyone just having a good laugh and a few drinks. Like one big family. ❤
Billys greatest performance! Funny every damn minute.
Agreed. Havent watched it for about 20 yrs - awesome to watch this one again!
Love it always 😊
38:30 best part for me
This never gets tired. I laughed so much as always 😂
Thank you Billy for taking me away from the hysteria . Dare I say worthwhile.
I spotted at least three Harry Potter actors in the crowd
This set was and still is, absolute perfection.
Ahh, the ten name t tower blocks,, what memories.. the smoke bombs I threw down the lift shafts.. “them were the good old days”… lol
Robbie Coltrane RIP
Weather Man Shortbread tins. Francis someone. Wilson 10 minutes in - Status Quo

Oh, go away and find a relevant forum for a random political rant. It has no place on here.
SOD OFF
@@SuzyQ334 here here
@@thebbgrouplimited210 Very polite of you, I would use harsher expletives, but well said
never found him funny
He's always funny so it's not his sense of humour that seems to be the issue.
ffs. If you don't find him funny , don't purposely look for his videos then, just so you comment on how unfunny you think he his. Sad person
I think the Scottish reply is...Fud!
@@rossturnbull8047 no fud is too good from him billy would tell him to f off
Nobody cares about u...even here
Still funny even though i watched this many years ago,and most of the people in the audience are now dead,crazy i know
Absolute shit the way he goes on about scotland a disgrace to scotland bringing scotland down with utter nonsense overrated welder
😭🫵
@saorsa5. You big melt. Stay inside your cob house. Absolute stupid comment.
It’s comedy not real life. Try to get out more
Billy loves Scotland, taking the piss out of your own country is literally something a comedian would do
Welders are very highly skilled important workers.
I'll never forget seeing that show live on the TV i think it was Billy 25 years anniversary we recorded it on tape and watched it over and over for years. Brilliant 😂
Billy is the funniest man on the planet IMHO. Thanks for this brilliant upload.
Brilliant
Shame it's the short 60 minute edit, the full 90 min version is even better.
Living in Bradford during the 80s, we had two VHS videos - this and Apocalypse Now - both got us through the Thatcher years.
We love you Bill!

Thanks because for yrs i thought it was Twiggy

0:27 They are also not clapping here! Maybe it’s that screen that’s doing it!
Of course it is the screen, how long has it taken you to work that out?
Thank you for uploading this gem. I don’t know how a little boy living in Tasmania (Australia) ever discovered this classic. Top 5 specials I’ve seen
Billy Connolly is great lol
Gone yer self big yin pure brilliant 🏴

There isn't a person in there without face ache with laughing
So many people identifying with what he says....
