Best manning joke ever. Bloke goes to the optician. Optician says I want you to stop wanking. Bloke says why? Is it damaging my eyesight? Optician says no, you're upsetting everybody in the waiting room. Classic
at some level she had enough clues to think that likely.. same as at some level - you know that the taxes that you pay to the government that you vote for are spent on a military that do a hell of a lot worse than jimmy savile and in your name..
Absolute Magic, "THANK YOU Bernard" it was a pleasure seeing you once in Manchester never forgotten your still making us laugh today its refreshing to still hear GOD BLESS MATE
"Good to see a couple of Falklands war veterans in here tonight!" - *loud cheering* - "Welcome.. they've come a long way, those 2 Argentinians," - Bernard loved to go against the audience expectations - and was cleverer than all his critics gave him credit for.
His jokes are even funnier in 2019 because we've been starved of this kind of humour so long as nobody takes it literally which, unfortunately, the pc brigade have insisted on. Such a shame for Free Speech
Michael Moran - I’m not your friend. Why do have difficulty that I find him offensive? Just my opinion. Telling stereotypical Irish jokes is , for me, outdated for example
I am a child of the 60's and 70's and I haven't changed! The political world may have changed to a bland, politically correct, anaemic indifference but I still hold to values that are both moral and irreverent!
A true legend of comedy. And a lovely bloke, who's helped kids and people from all ethnic groups. Because of his material, he's obviously an easy target for the 'do gooder' hypocrites. Why wasn't Esther Rantzen screaming from the rooftops during Jimmy Savile's heyday.? It was well known amongst the corridors of the BBC, what he and others were up to. Probably just easier to keep quiet, and keep coining it in, from the 'said' organisation. RIP Bernard.
She is a liberal. I always check someones political view when I read something odd about them and they are always liberals. So yea she supports pedo groups, illegal immigrants, low wages, shes a real beauty, of course she supports Saville.
It's a shame a genius like Bernard is put down by some twats who don't know the true meaning of comedy. You either like him or you don't. If you do, welcome to the club, if you don't watch somebody else. Why the put down? In his life, he achieved a 100 times more than any politician, comedian, other stars and celebrities. He was an icon of comedy, he had his own club, Rolls Royce, did command performances, Las Vegas, charities,etc. A very kind hearted and family loving man. What he said on stage was his act, his material. He had a go at everything that moved. God bless his soul. I miss his sense of humour.
mohammad davoudian when i watched the video of him in vegas singing i was blown away. Amazing man and his overall outlook on life was brilliant. He laughed himself all the way to the end, now thats a way to live!
Real talent. His timing was impeccable and a beautiful voice on top of it all. We need people like you more than him now. Rip big man. God bless , I hope to join you one day up there in you club in the sky
Im Irish and my family always loved watching Bernard Manning and were never offended by his Irish jokes,we loved them. PC has ruined tv and comedy which is a real pity.
@King Alfreds Shieldwall I think most people who attack him simply havent doen what you and me have done and actually watched a show, they are jumping on the band wagon by going off the few racist clips they have seen. Besides im ok with his racist jokes, id be happy with 90% racist jokes.
I drive past the embassy club daily its just round the corner from where I live I cannot look at it without seeing Bernard's cheeky smile. I don't know if it's still run by his son but it's iconic Rip bernard
One of the funnest men who ever lived. Who did what he did to provide for his family and watch them grow without poverty. A man who’s come from nothing to have everything. Hats off to this utterly hilarious gentleman. Free speech is dead now, this man will be turning in his grave. RIP Bernard, they can’t stop us laughing!
The King of Comedy. May the recordings of this genius be available for ever. If you've ever had a bad day, watch Bernard! He will lift your spirit better than the Samaritans!
Fantastic man! Had the privilage of going to there for a do when son had it.. bernard came out and rocked! Takin piss out of everyone and disappeared. He had a lot of love and truely one of the great comedians lost like Ronnie Barker, Spike ,Dick, Kenny, Ronnie Corbett,Peter Sellars, etc etc... HALL OF FAME! x
Loved the show where he narrated his own life death and funeral, a true hero of comedy if there ever was one, and he not racist a bit, god bless and rest his funny sole he was a gift to us all .
What a brilliant stand up comic...Rantzen, fook off.....Bernard really had a heart of gold. No malice or hate at all in that man. People who can't see that can't see much at all.
As a big band vocalist, Bernard Manning was high in the queue behind Sinatra. My honour? To have been on stage with him ...twice even if he did take the piss out of my saxophones the first time!
Goodbye to a REAL stand-up comedian ... he was .. and still is, .. missed in this 2019, of PC for all shit ... Thankyou for the Post reminds me of how things have changed .. and in some ways, not so much for the better .. Family is everything and we should laugh at our differences not fight over them. I wonder if Esther could now admit HER lack understanding in the man, having seen this .... Most probably not, but 'That's life' ......... LSA
One of the funniest and most generous men around. He paid the taxes of a Pensioner in the mid 70s and got him out of jail. He was a Man City fan and so was the pensioner. I invited him to the Law Society of Liverpool University and he performed there he was asked by a Jewish student if he was a Jew and he said that his grandparents were. He asked the Jewish student if he was a Jew and the reply was yes I am. Bernard responded “you don’t look it” and everyone laughed as he certainly did, but no offence was taken. Knowing what we now know it is clear who the most genuine and correct person was. I would rather have Bernard as a friend over Esther “turn a blind eye” Ranzen any time. Thank you Bernard. I am sure your family and especially your grand children are proud of you.
JapanJohnny2012 Esther Rantzen walks into a bar a and says “ can I have aperitif” the barman said “what is the matter with your ones, you could eat an apple through a wire fence”
We used to have a bar in Tenerife, the next bar played a Bernard Manning tape every night , I used to laugh at the same jokes over and over, especially the one about the neighbour who killed his wife with a hammer, anyone else remeber that one?
Terrific comedian used to see him regularly as a Singer at The Lyceum ballroom in London with the Oscar Rabin Band And he was very good as a vocalist 😅 Arthur Cooke
He was bought up in hard times .these days its hard to imagine .news paper in your shoes cause they didnt fit third and fourth hand me downs and that story were you had four to a bed sometimes it was that cold you wet bed your dreamt you was at the toilet...hard times
The finest standup comedian bar none. Not to everyone’s taste, but back then we made our own choices on what we listened to. In a country of so called free speech I retain my rite to make my own decisions on what I like or don’t like, what offends me and what doesn’t. I don’t need anyone making that decision on my behalf. Modern day humour is not in the same class. Political correctness has all but cancelled it. I’ve no doubt one of our university, wokey, cancel culture embryos, will stumble across Bernard’s humour and have it wiped from history.
What a legend. His jokes weren’t exactly pc but it wasn’t made personal. Esther is just a stuck up bint who’s to stuck up to recognise talent. RIP MR Manning
Absolutely hands down my favourite comic ever. Great man.
Rantzen is a truely despicable woman.
_"Rantzen is a truely [truly] despicable woman."_ - ✡
Haha... not even a woman then.
A demoness.
I don't care what anybody says, he was funny. And his jokes are still funny now.
100%
GREAT VOICE ASWELL😎
Look at the shit world we live in now
Best manning joke ever. Bloke goes to the optician. Optician says I want you to stop wanking. Bloke says why? Is it damaging my eyesight? Optician says no, you're upsetting everybody in the waiting room. Classic
Legend. And not offensive at all to anyone with a brain. He was a funny comedian who told funny jokes-about absolutely everyone.
I never realised that he was a singer too… and what a truly fine voice he had! 👏😊
Too bad Esther ignored Jimmy Seville’s antics. People like her knew. Instead of picking holes in Bernard, admit to THAT. Bernard was/is a legend.
Well said 👍
Brilliantly said 👍
at some level she had enough clues to think that likely..

come on - my comment was not aimed at any victims.. it is - as jesus said - more sensible to talk to the perps..
Thanks Bernard 😁 you are the best comedian of all time 🙏 rest in peace gone but not forgotten 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Probably the greatest stand up this country ever produced.
i think that eddy izzard and frankie boyle rather put him in the shade..
Yes right
also mike reid
Do me a favour...

Remember when you could tell a joke!! And people took it as a joke too - and we all laughed. Good old days.
yes i remember it well

I absolutely loved Bernard...one of THE funniest men Ive ever heard in my life without a doubt
Rantzen is the most sanctimonious person I think I’ve ever heard.
Imagine being stuck in a room with her and Kaufman all night.
Humourless automatons.
Kaufman wasn't the worst ....Rancid was in a league of her own.
One of the funniest men ever. Like he said " if you don't like me turm me off"".
RIP Bernard.
Well Done Cadaver 2014, have watched all 4 parts and enjoyed that was proper comedy not like the crap of today.
Real talent. His timing was impeccable and a beautiful voice on top of it all. We need people like you more than him now. Rip big man. God bless , I hope to join you one day up there in you club in the sky
Been to a few stag nights at The Embassy club, best nights out ever, Bernard a brilliant comedian RIP
Brilliant comedian, pretty good voice too
I never got to see him live but so wish I did what a lovely man
Rip Bernard gave me many a laugh and you will and always will be a Sir to me.
Me too!.
Im Irish and my family always loved watching Bernard Manning and were never offended by his Irish jokes,we loved them. PC has ruined tv and comedy which is a real pity.
Nobody tells Irish jokes better than the Irish, to their eternal credit.

Loved the show where he narrated his own life death and funeral, a true hero of comedy if there ever was one, and he not racist a bit, god bless and rest his funny sole he was a gift to us all .
That was a remarkable programme, never seen anything like it. He looked death in the face and took the piss out of it. Respect.
A top comedian of his time if not the top one.and a very charitable man
Absolutely superb
Simply the best .🌹
What a brilliant stand up comic...Rantzen, fook off.....Bernard really had a heart of gold. No malice or hate at all in that man. People who can't see that can't see much at all.
He stuck to his roots in Manchester and lived the live he loved , How could ask for more.....He,s made me laugh for forty years plus,,Thanks Bernard

Cracking fellow! Met him in Guernsey in the early 70's . Had a few G&T's with him--generous to a fault!!
I saw him ,one of his last performances in the southeast.one of the best.
I bloody enjoyed that, take Rantzen away and this would have been perfect. A type of comedian we won't see again sadly.
A few jailed nonces in this aswell

“I don't know what's worse: to not know what you are and be happy, or to become what you've always wanted to be,and feel alone.”
No one will beat him the won't be another one of him they will come close. But that's it one funny man
Wonderful comedian. We’ll never see the like again, unfortunately. RIP Bernard. Greatly missed.
Woah the Pakistani joke in the 70's era would get him in court today, astonishing eh. They all laughed too, even Esther!!

Esther Rantzen walks in a bar and says "Can I get a large Aperatif?"
Barman says "No, love. But what are you having to drink?"
Esther is a stuck up bitch
The wrinkles around her mouth when she talks though. I'll be having nightmares about that tonight. Couldn't replicate it with CGI if you tried.

Nice voice
