Watching Billy laugh at his own jokes is half the fun! There has never been, and there will never be, a funnier comedian than Billy Connolly. Legendary!!
Before Billy dies, could you please get the Swiss Army to go and do a march-past with Swiss Army knives in front of him. That would be absolutely legendary and a tiny thank you for all the unbridled joy he's brought over the decades.
I took my Glaswegian Dad to that gig It was one of only a few times we spent together, a pint in the Duke of Cornwall round the corner beforehand, we were right near the stage but we were the first in the pub after😂 for a few more Dad was a huge fan of 'The Big Yin' I'll always remember it Thanks Billy Connolly 👍❤
Billy, I remember when I was a bit younger in the early 70s a guy gave me a tape of your stuff that he had recorded at one of your really early gigs in Glasgow and my younger brother and I loved it. He was 14 and I was 20 and we shared a bedroom and we would wet ourselves laughing because even though it was only audio, the images that you gave us were priceless, the pictures were amazing. We would listen to that tape every night and it had us in stitches and bonded my brother and I together and through time we bought all your LPs and became life long fans. The sad thing is that my brother married a bird from another galaxy who turned him against me and the rest of our family and I haven’t seen him in over 25 years. When I watch your stuff I always think of my kid brother and it makes me sad that he is no longer a part of my life. You Billy are a very very special person of the highest integrity and superb intelligence who like myself has a built in shit detector and you have given me the greatest of pleasure throughout my life and I put you on the same power as The `Beatles and Steely Dan and The Sopranos and Mohammad ALI which means that you are up there with the Gods. I wish you all the very best Bill and God bless you, or whatever being controls this life may it look after you big man. …..on a different note. I live in Belfast and I saw you one day riding your bike down the Castlereagh road in east Belfast and I shouted at you and you shouted back and for me that was a very special moment in my life, and I have been around a few corners by the way. Look after yourself big lad and keep on doing what you do as long as you can ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Brilliant, heartfelt words, Sir. Quite a story...That’s a sad state of affairs with your wee brother. I can relate. Alas, nothing is guaranteed with family. One learns that the hard way. Take care of yourself, Billy Culbert.
@irbennett Think he started out as the warm up man, he played songs on his guitar and told jokes but he found his jokes got more of a reaction than the songs he played so he decided to be a stand up comic.
@@egeerdem8272 He was criticising people for getting up and going out for a piss, he said it made him feel like he was basking... so someone in the audience threw a coin onto the stage... like you would if he was basking.
Living as I have for the last 50 odd years in South Africa, I am fortunate to have been exposed to all types of British accents, and I am well able to understand perfectly what Billy says. (perhaps it is due to my fiery Scottish grandfather passing on the gene memory of accent?) Billy is the only person on earth that can reduce me to a hopelessly weak pile of tears of laughter.....Long may you entertain us, my "brother" Scot!
No mate, as a fellow Glaswegian, I can tell you he is not talking proper Scottish. If he was, you wouldnt have a clue what he was saying. Trust me, us Scots abroad have to talk like wankers.
@@jockmcscottish7569 l know exactly what you mean about having a strong brogue. I was born & raised in Northumberland ...and immigrated to the U.S.A. with a very thick 'Geordie' accent..

The ultimate irony: I once almost died due to inhaling the Toblerone I was eating, from laughing so hard to Billy Connolly talking about Toblerones being dangerous
Ever since I can remember I have loved Billy, I've seen everything he's done many, many times.... and still, I'm creased up. Nobody will ever match his comedic talent. Legend xxxx
You think when Billy Connolly is GENUINELY angry, he throws water at you? I can only assume he threw it on the floor. Even if he didn't, it was just for laughs.
The alps all being the same size, and in a perfect line, would be an incredibly Swiss/German/Austrian thing to do. Probably just the Italians stopping them getting the chisels out.
@@TheMikkster not true, they love him. And he does interact a lot in some tour dvds. The Gay Diver.... Thats a great interaction. 😊. Or the indian holy footpath. Thats an even funnier interaction with the audience come to think of it.. 🤔

This was too funny! We never had Toblerone in the country i grew up in so my aunt from the UK would buy the huge Toblerones at the airport for us when she would come to visit. We would try to only eat one alp a day to make it last. So true though, if you didn’t break it off and instead try to bite it off, you would end up ripping some skin off in your mouth. Totally worth it though!
Wonderful as no one ever since ... the true story though is .. you are supposed to strap Toblerone under your mountain boots when you reach eternal ice .. walking vertically upright . come dinner time that 'wee tool kit' in the knife assembly gets handy . Franz shows it in Eiger Sanction :)
It's funny because it's true. I've never been quite sure how you're supposed to tackle a Toblerone; especially the giant ones. But maybe that's what some of the more esoteric tools on a Swiss Army Knife are actually for?
This joke I showed to a few friends of mine lately the fell down with laughter. But one guy then nearly sent me into hospital when we stopped laughing or kinda stopped. He and I swear he says iv had piles they would have worked for me if I thought of it .
This guy has made me laugh until it hurts since the late 70s, my late teens. A fantastic observer of life and people who basically says it how it is and honestly.

Ok, but can we talk about how Billy Connolly in his ridiculous nightgown-pant-dress from 1994 would be considered amazingly well-dressed in the year 2022.
This makes me smile when the world fucks me up, every day. What kind of sick mind would make a chocolate bar that hurts you, Billy? Masochists mate. Masochists.
Have you ever wondered what that saw-toothed blade on the Swiss Army Knives is for? It's for cutting the fucking Toblerone.

Nice to see you on the Graham Norton show last night. Hope you're well, Billy. Thanks for all the laughs over the last 40-odd years 🙏
ODD indeed..
No problem.
I saw this man live two nights in a row. Both totally different yet absolutely brilliant. A true genius
His entire career and he never wrote down a single joke. Absolute legend

He's been my main prescription for about 30 years or so
Bull indeed.
I can never have a toblerone without thinking of Billy :)
Even I was scared of hurting myself eating Toblerone as a small boy because it is triangular. Fucking Toblerone!
It's impossible to eat a Toblerone with your mouth without doing irreparable damage. You can try with your hands, just hope it hasn't started to melt.
My biggest regret in life is never seeing this legend live I’m glad I’ve got his DvDs
The coin toss at the end was actually very clever.

One swift move and back to the show 🤣👏
It wasn't a heckler, it was somebody who threw a coin onstage.
Timeless. People will be laughing at this hundreds of years from now. 🇬🇧
A new loony, just what this board needs.
Never seen this clip before; shouldn't've watched it while brushing my teeth - nearly spat toothpaste everywhere! XD
You rarely saw him genuinely angry on stage but that coin toss pissed him right off.
Ha, I don't think he was really pissed off. Just gave him a brilliant opportunity to retaliate.

I can only assume he threw it on the floor. Even if he didn't, it was just for laughs.
You quite often saw him angry onstage.
I don't think he ws angry at all. He probably threw the water at the wrong person.
Always loved to watch Billy's World Tours. The funniest man ever.
The swiss police actually use toblerone as a baton as well.
Billy is a great comedian i like this kind humour could listen to him alday i wish he was still doing his show 😢 ❤
He doesn't.

The alps all being the same size, and in a perfect line, would be an incredibly Swiss/German/Austrian thing to do. Probably just the Italians stopping them getting the chisels out.
Absolutely right.
When I asked my Swiss wife why she liked Italians she said, “They like to have fun.”
Love You Big Yin, take care and Keep Safe Darling, XX Keep Safe Everyone
Ooh darling that's a new one.
It's true, though. Toblerone even has sticky toffee bits in it that lift your fillings out if you're not careful.
Oh yes, been there, bit the Toblerone, unclenched my jaw, paid the dentist's bill.
I was in Scotland, I was so disappointed when I seen the Toblerone hadn’t have “Aggressive fucking sweety!” B.C. on wrapper🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
*wrapper (get a grip!)

One of the best routines from the Live 1994 video.

Its from Billy Connolly- Live 1994. The show is one of my all time favorites.
