There's only one Big Yin, the master. The world wil never see his like again.
Absolutely fucking spectacular
Absolutely fucking spectacular
He's not dead!
His body may be failing, but his soul shines like the brightest star 🌟❤️
Oh no! Is he really, what a pity, what an awful pity.
Billy Connelly reduces me to tears! He's an absolute legend!
One regret In Life was never seeing him live. Sad when I think of all the great comedians I've seen, spending most of my life in London I saw many great comedians like Jimmy Carr, Michael mcIntrye, Jack dee, Sean lock and many more. Great times, great laughs.
...you and a million others!
I did not know until last night that Billy was sexually abused by his father! That sort of knocked me for six! I spent endless nights in an army barrack room listening to Monty Python, Jasper Carrot and this special gentleman from Glasgee! When many young men have committed suicide over issues like this, he imploded into comedy, he is the very finest person you could find and he was born in a slum! We all need to learn from this great human being!
Most comedians have had really tough experiences growing up. It's the laughs that got them through.
I just watched Shrink rap and I admit that I had tears listening to his story, I was able to identify with him in so many ways. I love this man
laughter is the best medicine and thankfully you can overdoes on it 😊I used comedy and music to get me through alot of bullying in secondary school
Yes ; very true , thank you for your kind words , he is an honest person and his comedy genuinely comes from his own experiences of his life, and he finds the humour in all of it, where most people would have meltdowns, Billy is a legend a comic genius and my hero..
Love Jasper Carrot!
There is no one who can tell a story like Billy Connelly
Dave "THE BOY" Allen , Ye Ken, hoopsie....
Billy Connolly is even funnier. 😂
@@VeggieBackGarden
I love billy one of the funniest man alive but you've clearly never been drinking with an Irishman
Naw he's no
I love this man dearly. May he never be forgotten. God bless you Billy. 🙏🏼
This man is the only comedian to reduce me to tears of laughter and aching ribs ! 😆
Honestly. I am quite old and love my comedy and I can't think of any other comedian who can make people laugh until they cry and hurt. Billy Connolly is simply the best. xxx
I agree with that crying and hurting at the same time 😂
Nobody has that skill to tell a story so much so you feel like you are a fly on a wall seeing it unfold. Billy rocks.
Billy is one of the very few comedians that make me laugh. He is brilliant.
He is The Leonardo da Vinci of comedy the pictures his stories paint in one's mind are sublime.
If you ever feel low. Just watch Billy and your woes will be forgotten. Tissues will now be removing tears of laughter.😂😂😂
Love your comment Helen, so true 😊
The guys a genius
Aye
I vividly remember going to one of Billy's performances in Auckland, N.Z., and him telling this story. My abs were so sore from the continual laughing at his wonderful performance. My love and good wishes to you Billy, a true comedic genius and a pretty damn good actor too.
I saw him in Kaitaia with workmates. A cop who had pulled him for speeding on his trike earlier in the day was in the audience... An experience non of us will forget, poor bugger, Billy never stopped from 8pm til 12pm.
That night made me understand that you could die laughing. 4 staff didn't show up next day, to sore to work.
Saw him twice in Auckland and each time I thought I’d need an ambulance from laughing so hard. He’s the best.
I saw Billy Connolly in Brisbane and spent the entire evening watching the people in front and to the left of us, a couple and their two adult children. They were mesmerising for the mere fact they didn't laugh, didn't move, didn't do anything for the entirety of the show. Not sure who they thought they'd booked to see but it appeared they hated every minute of it!
Same, he had to stop several times as he couldnt speak because of the laughter, we were doubled over, im sure he must have gone over by an hour at least!
Incomparably hilarious imagery. "Built like a jockey's whip." You're a legend, Billy.
The Scotts have a particular gift for painting word pictures, Billy certainly has it
It's part of our language, called onomatopoeia, but you probably know this anyway. Scots dialect is famous for it. Words like ' 'shuggle' to describe something that's rocking, like a car going over cobbles, etc
@@EL-gu8fv Even better, Chuggie, which is chewing gum.
Superb storyteller.
Just one man telling a story yet it vividly forces you to see the scene and all the characters in your imagination.
There’ll never be another like him. Legend.
I was lucky enough to have seen Billy live in the mid 80s.Honestly by the end of the night i thought I'd become incontinent I'd pissed myself that much.
@@JoshuaRoberts-kq9cs hahaha I would love to have seen him in the 80’s I did see him in 2001 and thoroughly enjoyed it but the 80’s stuff was his peak for me and some of the early 90’s.. 👌🏻👍🏻
A total true legend wish I
had seen him when I was younger (and old enough lol 😂) he is an inspiration to a lot of people and one of Scotland's finest 🏴 🏴 🏴..!! 🏴....... 😁
Watched his recorded shows over and over and over again.
So sad that Sir Billy has taken this illness he will never be replaced.
@@albertmorrice1 Yes it's sad he is not well.When his time finally comes an era of the finest comedy will come to an end.
I've thought Billy is the funniest man EVER since I sneakily watched one of his shows as a kid, my parents didn't know! He had the banana boots on and I was rolling around laughing at his drunk impersonation. I watch this party story if ever I'm feeling low and it ALWAYS makes me laugh! Thank you Billy, you legend!! XX
hi Rebecca, I came back to this as well, its formidably funny, I was never allowed to watch Billy when I was younger so I watched it anyway at a friend's house where her parents were more easygoing. I love it and loved your great comment, and very best wishes to you indeed, a fellow Billy fan x👍👍😆😆
@@introspectivedreamer3864 Thats something to be said about a dysfunctional household, my parents not only let me watch billy connolly, but watched it with me.
@@Mephiston mine too. My mom loved Billy, George Carlin and Richard Pryor.
I thought throwing a birthday party for my 8-year-old daughter and bunch of her friends would be a mayhem. After this story I wont complain ever again. 😂
Never seen this before but my ribs are shattering LEGEND
I can only imagine the horror of a kids party, especially after remembering my own at that age
Aw Billy you are the funniest man alive! We love you to bits! Love from NZ:)💙
@Israel Hands He is not dead.
❤ 🇳🇿 ❤
If I had gone to see Billy live in concert, I probably would not have survived.
I nearly laughed myself to death while driving and listening to Ibiza don't drink the water.
Dear Billy, I hope you become a Saint, I'm English, ex navy aged 64 and got introduced to you in 1977 aged 17 a lad called Archie, Scottish, brought a bunch of vinyls on board HMS Ark Royal. couldn't understand a word but,, years later love listening to you , I hear you are not to well, Thank you so much for posting these. love to you fromea Brit. frigging genius you are! XX
I love that he always seems as amused to be telling these stories as everyone else is to hear them.
There has never been, and probably will never be, anyone who can spin a yarn like Billy - and all unscripted.
The Prince of Patter Merchants is our Billy!
well he had a lot of practice and an abundant resource as he was growing up
Of course it's fucking scripted, do you think a stand up comedian walks on stage with no plan or structure?
@@explodingsausage6576 It is NOT scripted! That’s how his style developed. He might go on stage with a first idea in mind but then he goes off on all tangents, and if you are lucky, he might come back to the punch line. He has never done the same show twice.
@@Canalcoholic Stop being so naive. You think a stand up comedian walks on stage at a sold out concert hall without having a solid plan of what material they're going to use? And he has repeated loads of material over the years. I'm not knocking his comedy, what he comes up with is golden and his storytelling is impeccable, but to imply he simply walks on stage and hopes that funny stuff happens is just silly.
Had me crying with laughter…..you absolute LEGEND!!
Love You Big Yin and Thanks for making My Day, Take Care and Keep Safe, XXXX
Absolutely brilliant, he makes me laugh so loud every time,I’m sure my neighbours think I’m nuts 😂🎉
I heard "the crucifixion" in the 70's when I was 10 years young I'm still hooked.
Thanks Billy you are a living legend x
Billy you are a fine character actor and comedian not to mention a bloody good scot.
Glesga Partying.. Legendary, work hard, play hard.. ⚡😉⚡My parents sing the Glasgow way.. 😂❤️😎
'Posing for a shortbread tin' - classic! Billy looks like very noble when he hold his head up - I'di like him on my bikkie tin!
HILARIOUS! No matter how often I watch this, it never palls.
Oh Billy.... the brilliance shines like a brilliant STAR!!!!
Introduced a friend of mine to Billy via this video. I have never seen him laugh so hard before or since. We were both rolling around the floor laughing so hard.
Throw a couple of joints into your lungs and a couple of hours of Billy live and you just lose control.
@@JoshuaRoberts-kq9cs seen him in his prime I stopped breathing I was laughing so hard. My sides hurt for days after
A few years ago he did a show "an audience with Billy Connolly". We recorded it on our Dvd player at the time. My husband and I watched it so many times we joined in with all of the jokes. The audience was all tv personalities, pop stars and news announcers etc. They were all completely in stitches. He spotted a face and reacted to that person. The tape finally gave up as it was worn out. My husband died almost twenty years ago but I can still hear him laughing when Billy told the story of the visiting priest and his mother trying to impress by responding to their shouts about pinching the overcoat on the bed, and she says its not an overcoat its a duvet. I can still hear my husband in fits, as we both were born in the 50s when it was pretty usual to have coats over the bed in winter as bedrooms were not heated, and only coal fires downstairs in the main room.
I've got that full show a celebrity audience with Billy Connally its in my play list if you want it
Your DVD player recorded on tape?
@@SpeccyMan lol 😆
Even reading that I can clearly hear billy saying it…….. don’t start me off about the big slipper and cutting your own hair
@@patrickfinlay2074 lol 😆 the burgarlers that see the giant slipper
This is my all time favourite story from Billy. Simply the funniest man in the world. 🤣❤️🔥🏴
Brilliantly perform as always . Fabulous entertainer . I've have the honour seeing him live many times . Fantastic
Fuckin love it !he’s a legend I’m bedridden nd this is wat passing my time I’m battling cancer
😢
This video is well timed on the day the election results are coming out. We all need Billy in our lives.
Absolutely brilliant 👏 One of Billy's best.
Probably the funniest person who has ever lived- I saw him live in the 80s and I was sore from laughing
Nobody NOBODY can tell a story like Billy Connolly!!!!
😻 Puurrrfect ! Here comes The Big Yin to keep the laughter rolling on 🤗😂🤣😂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💜💞💘
Never heard this routine before. Brilliance
I have taken to watching some Live Billy for my Morning Giggle..!
This is one of many that can be Watched over and over Again.
And it still works to set me up for the Day...!
Thanks for the Giggles Billy your the Best Anti Depressant I know..!
Cheers All. 🤣
My friend of 50 years sent this to me knowing I'm a big fan. laughed to tears and almost needed my inhaler God Bless The Big Yin.
Lmao! Oh man! I'm laughing so hard that there's tears running down my face! I wish somebody would animate this story!
Mate I was thinking the exact same thing. 😂
Doesn’t need to be animated, Billy’s telling is animated enough!
@@richardhill2643 good point 🤣
It wouldn't be as funny. The whole point of the storytelling is that it triggers your own memories and imagination.
Just rung ma pants oot from laughter...Billy Banter cures a sinking smile to rise again
"Dorn't be seck!"
"Ahm awreght...!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I felt like I was really there.!
Brilliant wit.
Many years ago, I seen him in Aberdeen , driving a Ford Cortina and I gave him a wave and all I got back was the finger lol.
😂😂 I would take that as a compliment 😅
I was working on Skye many years ago. I went to the Portee games, and noticed that Billy was stool in front of me! I didn't want to bother him though, but it was nice to see him there.
Used to own a VHS with this on 25 years ago and probably not watched in as many years. Can remember every line - pure, unadulterated class. Happy happy memories. Had a few parties that sounded familiar 🤔
That Ian Paisley impression was pretty good! 😂
That last line... "completely naked, put on one shoe and kicked him in the bol**cks" hahahah
This had me in tears, just brilliant!
Absolutely priceless. There will only ever be one Billy Connolly.
Absolutely amazing, love from Canada. 🇨🇦🤗🍁🐘
That wee giggle of his ,makes me giggle aswell
I like the part about the Scotsmen singing about missing Scotland ...& they're right there in the hometown living room....🤣 ("What are ye singin' aboot??")
😂😂
That has to be the best twelve minute long kick in the balls joke I've ever heard!!!
This is far and away my favorite story from The Big Yin! I can imagine the whole thing in my head and it is absolutely brilliant! "MEANWHILE!"
I try to explain this bit to people and for a long time I couldn't find it, but now I can show people. Plus, when I'm drunk, as I am now, I still reference the guy ( 3:17) sat there going "am alright"
@@Ben13VonD geyuss another pint that'll sort me out
Keep going Billy we are all right behind you and love you 💕
The way he would add another part to the story and then return to BAGPIPE NOISES and "don't be sick", jfc why is that so funny
Who the fuck thought putting an advert in the middle of that would make it better???
UA-cam braindeads...!
Love you Billy saw you in
Rothesay with your guitar many years ago. You are a genius❤
A great man, a great actor and absolutely the greatest Comedian story teller there ever will be.
I've watched this so many times. Every time I'm in bits :D
74 now and grown up with Billy no one ever was more funny than him and seen most, used to live in the borders we moved to Ireland just over a year ago, miss it a lot, would miss Billy more if he was not here. i have friend who won a bafta few years back, Billy was there was never jealous of the bafta, but sure as hell was jealous my friend met him something that i will never get to do.
ohh wonderful! the master storyteller at his outrageous best!
I remember watching this at a pool side bar in corfu many years ago .
I was laughing so much i had tears running down my face .
I also had people wondering what was so funny.
His voice is so distinctive. I clicked on the video and immediately heard the voice of King Fergus from Brave. I had no idea who he was, but he’s so funny and engaging.
Love it, love it, love it!!! I will ALWAYS LOVE BILLY CONNOLLY, , he's the only person in the world that has ever been able to make me laugh when all I have wanted to do was cry. Big CHEERS to Pamela and his/ your kids. Bless you all ❤️🌹❤️
He has a way of drawing you in I felt I was at that party the madness the way he paints a picture and keeps you laughing all the time he,s genius.
Yes absolutely he's a fabulous human being. My prayers and thoughts are with him and family . Unfortunately not being a well man . God bless ❤
I don’t know how anyone cannot watch Billy and end up crying with laughter 😂
He's an legend he is my favourite. love his story's 🤣🤣
5:12 "You know like Glenn Campbell" - had me in tears laughing!!!!!
They can say ANYTHING they WANT aboot us Scottish BUT wan HING yees will never say is " We have NAE personality"🤣🏴
Simply the funniest man in history!
I think you might be right. I'm a young 67 and grew up with a whole host of great British comedy. But Billy is the only comedian who can make me laugh until I have tears rolling down my cheeks and aching sides. Love you forever Billy. xx
@@SuzyQ334Stay young Susannah!
This is my exact memories from 1970s Hogmanay at my Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles, hilarious chaos
We knew how to party in those days!
"Genius" is a much overused word nowadays.
But "Genius" comes in many forms.
This is one of those forms.
It takes a unique (not rare, but unique) talent to paint such a vivid verbal picture and to fill 12 minutes with such joy.
The world is a much better place with Billy Connolly in it.
By far the best comedian to ever grace this world
M
:h ui
In these earlier days this man was amazing, even his songs
I just about died from lack of air from laughing so hard during that. The sheer genius of Billy saying "meanwhile ..." after describing the most elaborately chaotic scene ...
Only comedian who can make me cry tears of laughter.
This part is where i warmed up to my name, the way that Billy pronounces it ... eventually it stuck as a nickname
12 Scotsman and a bagpipe make a rebellion. This story of Big Yin only confirms this🤣
True glaswegen legend the best ever and he still remembers his roots comes back nobody has a comedian of his calibrate like Glasgow love u to bits big yin the best
This is hysterical OMG
First time I heard this I was on the carpet
Oh no, you weren't the budgie I hope!
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!!! 🤣🤣🤣
The Godfather of stand up no one can hold a candle to the big yin , worlds a better place for him being in it
Soundtrack to my life this man's work. Great stuff.
there will never be anyone quite like the Big Yin.........every clip I see has me rocking with laughter
Our budgie was put in my bedroom whilst my parents had a party (I was about six). Found it in the morning on the floor of the cage dead on its back, with its feet up. Heart attack. Buried it in a shoe box. We lived in Glasgow - great parties there!
Our budgie escaped during a tenement party, I caught it in the close, must have been about nine at the time in Glasgow :-)
Poor wee thing.. He must have had a hell of a "puredeadbrilliant" party... 🎉🐦. I went to some great parties when I lived in Glasgow.. But I didn't know about the impact it had on the scottish budgie population... 🤔
I hope, you haven't been too sad then.
I could not have been prouder of the little uns watching Her Majesty. Billy. Pamela knows. X🦊
Love you Billy- saw you once at a show in Australia- great memories ❤
The end of the story continued.. what a party! I woke up the next day in a different house, lying naked on a bed, except with one shoe on!
Billy is without doubt my favourite comedian. His comedy is spot on n you can relate to him more than the comedians who just tell jokes. He is definitely one of a kind👏👏👏
I love Billy. Just can't help it, he is wonderdul.
Oh my god I haven't laughed this loud in ages!
sounds like a nice party i wish i were here
Superb concert film 👍🏻
