There are very few foreignors that can make Australians laugh at themselves. Dave Allen is one of them. I am an Aussie and I am a Christian. Like others, I watched it with my parents. I still reckon he's one of the best comedians that ever lived. He was a true story-teller. Good times indeed.
@@twmsioncati585 am even bigger step would be ignoring you. Are you only happy when trying to criticise others to make yourself feel superior? I bet so.
Brilliant ... I'm Australian and LOVE this and have always loved Dave Allen -- I was allowed to watch this when I was a kid -- my dad would let me sneak into the living room and watch it when I was supposed to be in bed -- I did not get half the jokes back then but still laughed my head off when my dad laughed :-) :-) -- good times :-)
I'm an Aussie and this just cracked me up. Dave Allen is a legend in his own right. Those were the days we could laugh at ourselves and everyone else, and see the funny side of life. I miss those days...sigh... Mind you, I still laugh at myself and others, so... >:-)
This is interesting to hear, as it's really about Australia in the 1960s, early 1970s and how things have changed and do change.... Still I always remember Dave Allen and he was extremely funny...
No F's, no C's. "Comedians" today have so much to learn from this guy. You don't have to dive into the gutter to be funny. So sad that he's no longer with us. RIP Dave. You were one of the best.
Dave was on tv every week when I was younger...well a lot younger actually...He made growing up in Australia more fun. His humour is sadly missed down under.
When he was down this way, he saw my mother in a typing pool in a bank and asked her out. Silly cow said no. I mean, would you look at him? He’s gorgeous!
The Dave Allen Show was one of my family’s favourites. It’s a long time since I’ve seen him, and he’s just as funny as I remember. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this clip before. Maybe, they didn’t show it in Australia. 😂
No equal before or since that I have heard. I would say Jasper Carrott came a close second in his early days. His insurance claims jokes - the stunned face he pulled was brilliant and made what was already funny, hilarious.
His last couple of lines were /are brilliant. I only just found out he's dead already... I would've loved to have had a few Irish whiskeys with the man ...
@@milesjolly6173 There are a lot of Dave's jokes that will never make it onto UA-cam. Dave was replaced on the Melbourne Tonight Show in Australia because of complaints about his jokes.
@@julieugo4407 Don't you mean "seeks"? Lol. If you haven't watched them already, look at Dave's sketches on religion. His thoughts on Adam and Eve are hilarious. S
Blanked out "it was the nearest thing I've ever done to doing a JC" Which is funny, considering Dave so often made fun of religion. Why post a Dave Allen video if you're so precious about religion?
Dippy, as in a swim - sorry but no, we don't say that. And we don't watch footie on Christmas Day - there are no football games played on Christmas Day. We are likely to play a game of backyard cricket.
Bloody true though. Im a white Australian. Blackfella friends of mine will give ya anything. Its true. I gave my mate a jacket. I was pretty proud of myself for giving it. . And then he didn’t have it. I asked him and he said he gave it away to another bloke. My friend had almost forgotten the jacket, lol ! It stung- because of my whitefella ways, i felt betrayed. But another part of me got it and knew id like to have what ethos that he has. And akso, black lady came visiting with a white friend of mine. They’d traveled hundreds of kilometres. The black lady didn’t even know me. But straight away she said: “Can i go to sleep?”. And she went to my bed. Cause thats how THEY treat people. What an easier way to live. Can you imagine just walking in to an average white persons place and asking to go to bed? You wouldn’t do it. So much easier way to be. So Dave got that all 100% -right.
We still miss Dave in Australia! The world was a better place with him on it 😢
He's a legend!

Never been a better story telling comedian. Goat. Huge fan from Australia.
Back in the day when we were allowed to laugh at ourselves. Awesome Dave.
Allowed to? By who? Who's stopping you from laughing at yourself? Are you in an abusive relationship? Do you need help?
@@Ohverture I’m talking in general. As a nation we were allowed to laugh at ourselves
@@Ohverture I think that you need to get help. A first step would stepping out of your front door and introducing yourself to the contemporary world.

"How many sheep have ya got then?"
"One"
"Really, what's his bloody name?"
I'm lost
I couldn't stop laughing hahhaha
Best ever memories sitting up late with my dad watching Dave Allen or Pot Black
Yep pot black snooker was massive back then

Same
Mum was pure Catholic but never at a loss for Irish humour
We grew up on it
same same mate , now i am 55
@G M hahahaha ... thats awesome mate -- I live in the US of A now (near Seattle) and miss the good old Aussie/Kiwi sense of humor :-)
I was a UK migrant in WA for the 70s. The Dave Allen Show was the highlight of the night.
I’m Australian, Listening to this in OZ and Dave Allan is Bloody Brilliant.
Funniest bloke I ever got pissed with. Ended up falling asleep around 5 a.m. surrounded by empties and ashtrays overflowing.
Could you please tell us a bit more?
So miss this very funny, talented man. Yes, we Aussies loved him
" How did you find Australia? "
" I got off the bloody plane and it was there!! "
Loved Dave Allen. Very popular in Australia.
Saw Dave live many years ago. Absolute comedy genius.

His timing was impeccable.
5:20-5:40 Good lord what a timeless joke
You don't often get a joke about race from decades ago that ages so well.
@@baronmunro1494 So true.
Dave was on tv every week when I was younger...well a lot younger actually...He made growing up in Australia more fun. His humour is sadly missed down under.
I’m Aussie and he’s spot on😂😂😂😂😂
My father in law gave me this to watch. What a legend.
I’ve seen this 6 times and still piss myself😂😂😂😂
When he was down this way, he saw my mother in a typing pool in a bank and asked her out. Silly cow said no. I mean, would you look at him? He’s gorgeous!
She must of been crazy!!
Do you know when this was?
@@Lee-nh5bb I think it must have been early 1950s and possibly in New Zealand, the idiot.
Dave would have to be one of the best joke tellers in history. ...and his australian accent is very good.

Loved you then and love you now Dave Allen. So much better to listen to him on UA-cam then watch depressing shows on TV
Genius comedian. Nothing like him nowadays.
Ricky Gervais. Check out his live shows.
Love the sheep story😂😂😂😂
Dave was a good 'un🙏✌️🇦🇺

show not sold to Australia, bloody amazing! fairly accurate even how many decades later
Still cracks me up 😂😂😂
Those Whitw ones!😅😂
A very clever man.
I love Dave Allen
Still love Dave
Im sure Dave would be in the Slammer if he was here now.....hope he enjoyed the Cold Beer😊😊🎉🎉🎉
comedy legend r.i.p
Dave Allen was like Mel Brooks - insulted everybody, offended no one. Obviously Dave's best jokes are banned on UA-cam
What do you mean, loads of videos of his jokes are up on UA-cam, they’re not banned.
@@milesjolly6173 There are a lot of Dave's jokes that will never make it onto UA-cam.
Dave was replaced on the Melbourne Tonight Show in Australia because of complaints about his jokes.
Love him ❤️😂😂😂😂😂😂
Alright, now WHY did they blank it out when he says “JC”?
Don't see comedians as rollicking and as funny as Dave these days. Sorely missed.
love aussies
You are the best 😂😂😂😂😂
We ad a Y not an ie..
And a beer must be ice cold... that's why we call it a coldy
In Darwin I saw methylated spirits in a locked fridge in a corner store. WTH?
0:00 Faster time
0:13 Flying to Aus
0:46 add ie 🤣🤣
1:25 Beer
2:14 Sharks

Now in 2024.... Everyone is all saying "TOSTIES" lol😂

Did David Allen die? I only Started watching his UA-cam recently,?Did he ever visit America
Brilliant 😂
Very funny!

Careful mate 😂😂😂😂
Just nearly wet myself laughing..........is that how we (Aussies) really sound...??
Yes, Julie. But we Kiwis still love you.

@@julieugolini4195 oh ok.....I remembered as soon as it started, hilarious i took another look at Nuns and blessings again... 🤭🤣🤣
onya mate, don't think you'd get many complaints from Aussies about this, unless you served them warm beer. dont know how you could drink that shit
😍
He ain’t wrong about ozy and their i e lol

Australians are British, migrated during colonial era. Now, native Australians are almost extinct. 😇
And Irish prisoners.
Good. Bunch of racist bastards. Lived 45 years there.
