He had the rare talent of saying just enough for the audience to form his intention in their minds while not actually saying anything crude himself. Brilliant.
A true politician...sorry, comic.,
He disappeared into his characters so completely, that they seemed more genuine than some "real" people. What a talent!

Very well put 👌
Great post
Seriously. His absolute transformation was freaky. Because it wasn't just jokes and pantomimes of cartoon characters,...he actually seemed to possess the consciousness of those 'other people'.
Edna and Les were Barry's alter egos.
Sir Les was always my favourite of Barry's characters. Absolute genius. Will miss him in this sometimes sad and serious world....
The Australian Cheese Board will never be the same without him.
Wonderful stuff. Keep it coming. I’m a confirmed Barry Humphries fan and I hadn’t seen this clip before. Let’s pull everything out to remember this wonderful Australian gifted comedian and intellect.
The phrase ‘Let’s pull everything out’ is in fact very Les Patterson.
I only discovered Sir Les recently. This earlier stuff is the best, especially his appearance on Parkinson’s Australian programme.

Brilliant.
A magnificent man who had the gift of jocularity and made people laugh and brought happiness even if it was briefly. Thanks God for this man
Which "god"?
@@MichaelKingsfordGray The god that created Tasmanian camembert.
We saw him in London and physically ached at the end of the show from laughing so much. A genuine comedy genius.
The finest entertainer the world has know in my opinion. We will never see the like again. Irreplaceable. ❤❤❤
100% with you. The master of comedy
A genius
As an ole bugger myself now it brings tears of laughter to my eyes watching Sir Les , you can catch a few more of his clips with the great late Parky
I remember attending his show in London many years ago. I think the Less Patterson character had just been evolved so when he walked on stage after the interval, and with the house lights still on, nobody recognised him.
He introduced himself as the Australian Cultural Attaché and it took a while before people realised that it was Barry Humphries. Needless to say he was hilarious. RIP Sir Less.
Funny as. RIP Sir Les. You have given me so much laughs and joy over my 25 years in Australia.
He will be missed. A very gracious ( well, when he wasn't being Sir Les) clever, witty man.
Comedy genius one of my favourite Sir Les lines is he said there's a rumour going round there's no culture down in Australia we'll lm here to tell ya we got it coming out of our arse?? Absolutely spot on Les knowone could have said it better a brilliant mind made him a comedy genius God bless him can you imagine Sir Les at the pearly gates trying to get in laughter is the best medicine and Barry Humphrey's was the master.🙏👁👀😁
Only Sir Les would have had the gall to say such things in a room full of high brow Brits......he was a wounderful comic
Bloody hilarious and talented guy - we got ya Les ! 🥰🇬🇧
Never tire of watching Les!
Rest in peace Barry Humphries. A great comic legend ❤.
The one & only. What an entertainer he was. A REAL Legend. God bless.
Gone are those days when pure talent like Barry Humphries was allowed to freely perform and make us laugh.
It's all political box ticking now.
RIP Barry Humphries, a true genius in any disguise.
Barry and Wogan were both absolutely outstanding at what they did.
Sir Patterson is by far Australia’s best diplomat.
AS WAS THE MAGNIFICENTBILL HUNTER RIP MATE xx
Minister for The YARTZ.
@@James_Bowie don’t forget that he sits on the cheeseboard as well.
Barry Humphries and Foster Brooks, two comic geniuses of a kind we don’t see today.
So true.
I miss him already. Always made me laugh.
Absolutely brilliant --im going to miss this great comedian and his Sir Les Patterson incarnation RIP Barry Humphries Youll be sorely missed mate
Brilliant, thanks for posting this 👍
RIP Barry, you were a legend and a trailblazer.
How fitting that the young ones won, Jesus I was 20 then..
Loved him to bits.
"G'day Woges! How are ya, son, No worries." 🤣🤣🤣
Barry's Les Patterson was comedy gold. A sadly missed Aussie treasure.
I think deep down many blokes would like to be like Les and just enjoy life. Humphries was such an intelligent man and his quick wit was remarkable. It's such a shame that comedians of his calibre have virtually disappeared.. which reminds me...I am overdue finding something to be offended about!! 4
i took him for granted..i miss him..Rip Bazza
He was great. Best Aussie comedian ever
Absolutely
@@ianswan1283 😜
One of my biggest thrills was to see Sir Les (and Edna) live on stage (from a safe distance, 5 rows back!) 🤣
Best comedian in the world , so clever sharp as !! Les was just an awesome character
The cheque stub line was genius.
So Funny, So Fantastic & So Entertaining !
Struth, its years since I've seen Dame Edna, about 20... and I had no idea the fellow behind that visage was such a comedic giant, there's a true master of his craft if ever there was one, it simmers in every waggle of his lecherous eyebrows, every glance perfectly timed, perfectly punctuated... how typical that is - just as he passes, I realise what he is. Aye, ain't that the way of it?!?
brilliant,no other word for him
Loved his comedy still do.
The face changes, and everything 👏👏👏 RIP
Barry H, Peter Cook and Robin Williams - gee, god must be having a hilarious time.
Are You With Me......Classic Barry. RIP
Brilliant man and clever
BH was a genius at working a live audience.
Barry Humphries was that rarest of human beings - a true genius.
And Sir Les Patterson was, for me, his greatest creation.
Sheer perfection.
Such a class act
Legend. RIP.
You little ripper. RIP.
RIP Bazza
"Are you with me!?"
The greatest of his creations
A comic genius.....
Genius.
RIP to Australia's most honest politician!
Fearless,irreverent satirist he’ll be. Much missed
He reminds me of the character “Tony Clifton”. Sleazy, obnoxious and arrogant. I really love this kind of humor.
More laughs in 4 mins of Sir Les than in an entire series of The Young Ones
Brilliant.
He made life real.
"Joan Collins was a personal friend of mine ,she loved perfume. You would never guess what she put behind her ears to attract the men folk" Long pause and a drink. "HER ANKLES" LOL
Loved him,may he RIP
Humphries successfully conquered his own, real alcohol addiction in 1969. Kudos. Less Patterson? Sheer hilarious insight.
Les Patterson, what a character 😂
The man was funny, Ken Dodd too, hopefully making heaven a hilarious place to be.
BLOODY HELL 😃😃😂PURE GENIUS AT WORK 😃😃😂😀
Barry Humphries was not interviewed , it was either Dame Edna or Sir Les and the interviewer and audience were absorbed into the character.
Genius.❤
My grandson found some clips of sir Les and asked his dad who the rude man with all the food stains on his shirt was. 😂
Pure genius
Frank Bough enjoying Sir Les's naughty remarks about Terry doing it 3 times a week (no surprises there) and Lenny Henry witnessing something he will never be....funny. RIP Barry Humphries.
Bang on guppy especially bout Henry 😊
No worries
Never had to resort to using "fu*k" or "fu*king" to get a laugh...unlike comedians today.
Finest Cultural Attache Australia ever had.
He was brilliant,wasn’t he.
The interesting thing about the shows up for the award is that the winner seems to have completely disappeared from the TV listings. The other show turn up regularly on British television despite being rather old.
A genius ❤❤❤
RIP. The greats are all leaving us, leaving poor imitations behind.
His joke about drag queens bashing a grannie is most apt!
The good old days 🎉
2 of the very best.
Barry was too good for the British establishment and royalty! RIP legend. We ‘common’ poms love you!
Lovely stuff - an' I thought Sir Terry handled it all sweetly too... 🥰
No worries!
Losing their fellow Aussie Barry Humphries was so profound that Sir Les and Dame Edna retired from public life
To think I was introduced to this guy (I thought he was real) as a pom when I moved to Australia in the early 70s. The less said about Norman Gunston the better.
Brilliant. 😂😂
Good Result too.
It is sad that Humphries outlived Rik Mayall.
Many of Riks characters were clearly influenced by the great Les Patterson.
Sir Les was bloody hilarious. RIP Barry Humphries, a comic genius, I wonder how long before the politically correct brigade try to have these classic videos removed for UA-cam?
The best politician ever that Australia produced.
Are you with me?
I always suspected that Sir Les and Dame Edna were having an affair behind Gwen's back.
She really detested him; thought he was an uncouth embarrassment to the Australian diplomatic corps.
Just love Sir Les..
Talk about comedy Gold for Australia 👍👍👍🤔
RIP Sir. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
And it caps it off that The Young Ones wins!
Funniest Australian ever 🤣
Let's give "Les Patterson saves the world" another shot this Friday night.
Remember him growing up in the 80s when pc land didn't excist.. Funny then and funny now.. No worries 🤣are you with me!!
His stomach is so. Big haha he cant see his feet
Properly made Wogan laugh
I see Lenny Henry was there...he makes Barry look like a comedian!
Funniest man ever
Do yaself a favor and get yaself a copy of A Travellers Tool...written by Les himself....funniest book ever written.
Are you with me????
