The greatest thing about Billy is that he is not a comedian - he is a storyteller 😂
I'm so glad you said this.
I was lucky enough to see Billy live many years ago. Prior to that I'd seen names like Jimmy Carr, Ricky Gervais, Lee Evans and Peter Kay. And I realise how lucky I am to say that.
Ricky did an hour or just over. The rest did 2 hours give or take. All with warm ups and intervals.
Billy did nearly 3 hours without a break. He just paced back and forth and told stories that felt like they were coming from someone I'd known my whole life, something that I didn't truly appreciate the value off until years later.
I loved every second of every comedian I mentioned but there was something truly unique and incredible about seeing Billy live
And that's why he's a cut above the rest. Legendary.
@@RickyB464 Absolutely my friend
@dazzag Apparently, he doesn't even prepare a routine. He just goes on and does a different show every night off the cuff. Genius.
@@RickyB464 I can believe that. Another example of just how brilliant he is
As a disability support worker and advocate, my clients with dwarfism want to be known as dwarfs. Many of them find little people offensive and rude. This is filmed over 20 years ago when the language was trying to be changed. In all my 25 years in this industry ive not met one little person, but plenty of people with dwarfism. Billy is bang on here
I would have so.
As George Carlin quipped on the same topic:"Dwarfs aren't little people; babies are little people!"
OMG couldn’t agree more
Hear hear. I couldn't believe this channel guy calling them little people. 😅
@@jaynemathiot6617 like the Glasgow women on the bus said - I'm not giving you my seat because you're a dwarf, I'm giving it to you because your a person! All this woke shit is actually offending some of my clients and their loved ones. 🤦 Enjoy your day mate.
Our generation wasn't afraid to speak out and say it how we saw it , today's generation has been brainwashed by the educational system into being afraid of their own shadow and for the best part totally devoid of a sense of humour.
Channels like this will help to highlight your generations issues and hopefully pave the way to a return to some sense of normality.
Well done my friend 👍
You're right. There's no laughter! Half of the fun is laughing at yourself 'cause you're not all caught up in this victim nonsense. Very sour generations coming up. Scolds.
Not my 4 ...they were brought up the same!! ❤ x
@@PaganPunk ..well done having excelled in your parenting skills , a rare trait in today's society 👍
Dwarfism is a medical term, so there is nothing disparaging in calling a person a dwarf. Little person sounds like a leprechaun to me, that is an insult.
That was my first thought as well. It's only an insult if you use it in a derogatory way
I always think little person as in young kids
Love Billy, one of the best ever, if not the best. Watch the an audience with Billy and the incontinant pants section. Hysterical. xx
Oh Jezus that bit was brilliant! 🤣
That was the best comedic story ever !!! 😭😭😭 Those incontinent pants 👖 Billy was at his peak 😂😂
Billy is a legend, he says it as it is.
This PC world has gone too far
Omg he is one of my funniest all time comedians 😂😂 I just love him 😍😄
He’s so good 🤣
Billy and George Carlin are my All time Favourites 🇬🇧 xx
He's definitely my favourite. He's hilarious.
Nice to see you've found the big Yin!!! Eddy at 50 years old you wouldn't believe what we used to say 🤣😂🤣😂
🤣🤣🤣
One of the funniest Billy Connelly jokes ever! I’ve loved him since the 1980s. I was blessed to see him live and meet him backstage in the 1990s. He had a TV show in the USA and has appeared in many movies. Please explore this “rabbit hole” more. 😂🇺🇸
Still Crazy is my absolute fave ✌️
@@rsmcwilliam love that! Also “flying”!
The best story teller of all time!. Saw him live and he would start on a story, go off on a tangent all the while making the audience laugh, then go back to the original story!. Such was his skill in story telling, you could remember where he was in said original story and enjoy the end!. LEGEND! Nuff said!. 🙂
This happened in Glasgow. It's absolutely a true story 😂
Billy was Robin Williams best mate and vice versa...Robin Williams branded Billy 'The father of stand up comedy'.
Billy is such a treasure. Just hearing his voice makes me smile. 😊
🤩🤩
Snow White and the Seven little people, do me a favour
Snow White and the Seven vertically challenged people.
My sources tell me that six out of seven dwarves wouldn't be happy and one would be grumpy if they were called that.
I've loved Billy for as long as I can remember. He always leaves me in hysterics😂😂😂😂😂 I saw him on stage many years ago and I was crying for the whole event. Billy tells magical stories about real life.
I have always love Billy Connolly. He doesn't worry about political correctness....and that is why I think he's great. Keep them coming Eddy.
whenever I hear the phrase 'little people' I think leprechaun.
Billy Connolly is one of the greats!... Never in my life have a ever called a midget a little person!
Little people seems rather condescending especially as Fisher Price have range in their toys brand called "Little People" 😂
There IS a wee dwarf in the world. That little girl that there was a TV Show about. She is the tiniest person I ever saw in my whole 70 years of life. And I had a cousin who was a dwarf. Compared to her, he was huge. Even her voice is tiny. Cutest little girl I ever saw! And yes, I still say dwarf. Always have, always will.
Billly Connolly _"Old lady on a bus"_ is a must to watch.
Outstanding. More Billy please! Saw him live about twenty years ago. Fantastic human being too as well as my all time favourite comedian. Cheers man 😎
More to come 🤩
@@Eddycheeee 😎
How is little person better than saying Dwarf?
How about "vertically challenged "?🤣🤣🤣
@hlhappy
It's not..... there's an American comedian called Brad Williams who is a genuine dwarf, he dislikes the term too but will use it as part of his routine.... funny guy if you haven't already found him here on YT.
Medical definition - Dwarfism (skeletal dysplasia)
Billy’s punchlines have always been some of the most hysterical that ever were,
Seen him live yrs ago n he’s bloody hilarious n him n audience hecklin’ eachother was brill…
I went to 2 of his concerts and I cried laughing each time. He tells funny stories, not jokes as such. The best, in my opinion.
Absolutely love this man he tells a great story about life with a comical touch can watch him and never get bored he is the best
He’s so good 🤩🤩
Of all of Billy's jokes, this is by far and away my favourite joke
It’s not a joke it’s true.
I was at this gig, or the version of it he did in Newcastle. He told an even better one at the end, about helping a drunk order at the bar. I was crying! He was perfect. Love him :-D
Billy played a dwarf in the hobbit film thorin Oakenshield’s cousin. Hard MF
If you ever get the chance have a listen to billys "Wreck on Tour" i found the cassette tape of this when i was a wee boy in Glasgow, and when i picked it up and it was Billy Connollys i smiled and i knew i had found a gem its a masterpeice ,Btw Do you know Gerry Rafferttys song Stuck in the middle with you was about the big yin .
Eddy I’m Irish and as you know go a few miles in any direction and you find a different accent. Your accent is fantastic you’ve picked up a bit of us all on both sides of the pond god bless ya .
Thanks for the lovely comment Michael 🤩
Eddy👍Brilliant,Billy is a legend. I'd love to see you react to his wildebeest and lions skit it's hilarious but any Billy reaction would be great,thanks mate✌️
Thanks Martin 🤩
Ford Kiernan played Jack Jarvis (Esquire) haha and Greg Hrmphill played Victor McDade in Still Game 👍.... I used to go to their stage show in the 90s before it became a TV series there's one UA-cam from late 90s worth a watch if you never seen it. Seeing Billy Connolly live for the first time will stay with me cannae whack a bit of the Big Yin .... Great vid Ed 🙂
Esquire 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My man's a still game fan 😁👍🏻 I still watch it to this day. Billy connelly is a legend
One of my all time favourite billy stories! Makes me laugh hard every time. Brilliant. I love him talking about the terrorist attempt at Glasgow air port too.
I remember the days in the early 1980s listening to his live 1970s concerts on LP music albums, Ivan terrible story, is one of my favourite from those days, I have a playlist of Billy Connolly songs , (not my videos I just saved them because they are funny)
I’ve seen Billy quite a few times & loved him every single time - but no one dared to get up to go to the loo 🚽 in the middle of his shows 🤣🤣 plzzzzz can we have more of him 😂 so funny 😂 😂😂xxx
I love the Big Yin, he is hilarious, and this joke is funny as f*ck lol
Billy is THE best comedian, I’ve been watching him for years as he’s so funny 🤣❤️
Billy Connolly is genius about this subject. It’s so important to see the big picture. As their was one comment from a disability support worker and advocate dwarf want to be known as dwarfs. I’d say theirs so much potentially correction. Society has come so confused over the last 10-15years.
Billy is so good at telling stories. I've watched the video several times and still find it hilarious. I do, also, hope that it's true. :D
Actually the term "Dwarf" is NOT derogatory. It is a type of little person typically defined as having a relatively normal size body and head with proportionally short limbs. They also typically exhibit bulbous knotted muscles.
I used to work with a guy who exhibited all the typical signs Dwarfism, but he was 5'3". I told him on day at lunch, " You're tall for a Dwarf." Half a dozen people around us gasped as if I had called the worst insult in the world. But he just laughed hysterically. So I pointed out to everyone else that it was not meant as an insult but an observation. And the typical signs of the condition. By this time he was getting control of his laughter and said, "He's absolutely right. I was diagnosed as a child as having dwarfism but grew 6 inches taller than the typical range for Dwarves. So his observation was spot on and he is the only person who has ever expressed that to me." Then he turned to me and said, "By the way, you're short for a giant." We were close friends after that.
You want to get rid of racism, sexism and all the other crap? Stop being ignorant and offended at words. Try UNDERSTANDING the issue first.
I love watching your reaction to my favourite human and fellow Glaswegian Billy Connolly...you ever up in Glasgow, I'll give ye a tour 😊
I’ll definitely be visiting Glasgow in the coming months 🥳
Love billy! Love still game! Not just cause I'm a scot.
I'm watching Eclectic beard reaction reacting to still game at the moment.the endings so sad.when they showed the last ep there was a program on after wete the cast wete at a community centre round rhe corber from where they filmed it.talking about it with locals in the audience.
You know billy was a welder down at the boat yard.he can play the banjo.you should try and find him playing and singing funny songs on here.
Love Billy Connolly ❤️
"The people that know its raining, last"
In the UK, it definitely tends to be *dwarf,* rather than ‘little person’.
I’m aware that in the US, ‘little person’ is more commonly used. ‘Person of short stature’ is also preferred by some.
One of my favourite bits, if you can find it: is about the upperclass and working class getting along, but not the middle class.
It’s about a time he visited a Scottish stately home……”I know you, I know you, I do” (you’ll understand if you see it!
Sorry but Dwarf is a legitimate term- thats the problem these days 20 somethings policing our language because it "offends"them- just because their feelings are offended doesnt mean what is said is offensive- bet a lot if people with dwarfism still refer to themselves as Dwarfs
My two favourite comedians and story tellers of all time are Billy Connolly, and Dave Allen. I literally need my inhaler out, when listening to their tales.
The Big Yin!! What an Absolute Legend! ❤
The only people that say it is wrong to call little people dwarfs is always tall people.
And Dwarfs
Love your reactions Eddy. Keep up the great work :)
Thank you! Will do 🥳
I understand and side with Billy's view that it is OK to call a dwarf a dwarf, the discrimination act is in place to stop certain words from being used in a derogatory manner but dwarfism is a medical and scientific term. If you are born with a form of dwarfism then you are a dwarf. It is also (maybe) worth noting that Billy played a dwarf in The Hobbit Battle of the Five Armies film.
I remember watching Billys stand up on tv for hours in a Tenerife bar. Our flight had been delayed and we were told before we left the resort but we had checked out. It was the best part of the holiday 😂
Just found out the other day that Billy sang the theme song to Super Gran. Blew my mind.
THAT IS SO HILARIOUS!😂😂😂😂😂❤
Legend always has and always will be. Big Love to the Big Man.
You'll love Rab C. NESBITT 😅😅😅
Jack and Victor!! Winston'Isa'Naveed'Mena ya boot!!. 😂😂 Good to see someone appreciate Scottish humour. If you havent already heard of it then i suggest 2 doors down. Another Scottish comedy with some brilliant actors👍
Billy,Billy ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Didbhe just say whats the craic at the start? Good man 😂
One of the best storytellers ever 😂😂😂
True 🤣🤣
A little person is a little person. A dwarf is a dwarf.
I got mugged by 6 dwarves !!!! Not Happy
I never tire of that joke, Eddy! 😂😂😂🍻
I saw Billy live in a London years ago and I laughed so much that my ribs hurt the day after
🤣🤣🤣🤣
GENIUS
A little person could refer to a child rather than an adult.
True
Brilliant!!!😅😂😅😂 he’s the best ever…….
Its better to not offend them by calling them little people, you Can always call them children.
Wooow 🤣🤣
One of the funniest storytellers ever.
He really is 🤣
I love Billy just because he REFUSES to be politically correct.
great eddy
Thanks mate 🤩
😊 Love hearing you say "what's the craic?' ..Oh mother dear, I'm over here,, and never coming back
What keeps me here, is a rake of beer,
The women and the Craic!
🤣🤣🤩
He did very well telling that story. I went to one of his shows years ago here in New Zealand, and every second word was the "f" word. Enjoyed his show, but I felt like my ears were bleeding by the time it was over! 😂😂😂
That was hilarious!
God bless you billy
Bit funnier than his Ken Bigley joke…..
Gold.
Billy and Ricky are the best
Legends 🤩🤩
Poor Billy . Best Raconteur of all time . This Story being set in Glasgow , way back in time , sounds Very LIKELY 100% true .
Billy is great.
billys jokes start end up in another funny story then back to the first story classic glesga joke
Legend 😂❤
I love this, my best friend was a dwarf & I fell in love with him & he looked horrified 😂
Kudos to you. You do that for no other reason than your parents taught you to have respect for others (especially, in my case, women). I'm much older than you, and I still hold doors open to those right behind me. People take on the 'me first' attitude and don't consider others about them and just rush about. It's Just courtesy.
A dwarf is a dwarf as a spade is a spade
I can't remember the exact book, but it was one written by Tom Sharpe (probably one of his Wilt series) where the protagonist was chastised over his use of the term 'dwarf' and was told (these books are satire and comedy I should hasten to add) the the 'correct term' was now PORG - for Person Of Restricted Growth.
Yep. That's right. Dwarf has been used to hurt & insult. I hate this story.
Ancestral Vices
@@fizzlegig3824 Ahhh, NOT a Wilt one, and one of the few whose name I can never recall, thank you!
I'm from Billy's generation and can i just say don't analyse comedy. Its not there to analyse its there to enjoy.
Brilliant 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣
I think it's safe to say none of us saw that punchline coming 😁👍
I've met him on many an occasion and he is a genuine ,interesting Glaswegian ,no airs and graces buys his round ,was interested in the whole company nice man
Legend 🤩
My favourite comedian ever ❤
🤩🤩
I thought this was Billy telling jokes.
Eddy like your accent!
Jack Jarvis and Victor McDade. (Still Game) ❤
Legends 🤩🤩
@Eddycheeee Absolutely. Best show I think I've ever seen. Lol. Biased of course as I'm Scottish. Have you reacted to them yet pal?
A dwarf is still a dwarf.
Dwarf is a Dwarf
