The Big Yin is his old nickname. Best comedian ever - he doesn't tell jokes. He just makes everyday observations extremely funny. Especially when he goes off topic.
That's what's called observational comedy
Billy doesn't do jokes much. He tells stories. Also he does not write anything down. Extremely talented man.
Billy connoly is a legend.
you`ve just watched probably the best comedian ever ,,,,,,need to see more
Him and Robin Williams. In fact there's a photo of them out somewhere laughing together. I'd have loved to have been at their table!
@@MikePhillips-pl6ov Some where there must be a recording of Billy and Robin appearing on tv together
😊possibly on Parkinson?
Billy is a story teller, he tells very funny stories.
Love Billy Connolly, greatest story teller ever. Old Lady on the Bus, or Colonoscopy
Reminds me of a joke:
I bumped a car in front of me and a dwarf gets out, yelling at me "I'm not happy!" to which I replied "Which one are you?"
Had to read this twice then couldn't forget it - still laughing.
Wasn't happy, was grumpy.
One of the only comedians who can make me cry with laughter 😂😂😂 if you can, watch his show in new York, it's rib hurting funny😊
“Felt about as welcome as a fart in a Space Suit”. Billy is legend.
Billy is the best stand up ever, as far as I and so many others sre concerned.
Worth pursuing.
I've seen Billy's stand-up twice, and he made me cry with laughter. The best of the best. Going since 1975. Billy tells stories that's funny.
With Billy, it's not the punch line, it's the journey.
A lot of my Canadian/US mates who worked on the Scottish oil rigs loved him back in the day. They had loads of VHS videos of him onboard.
My favorite was 3 nuns sitting on a park bench, a streaker ran past. Two of the nuns had a stroke, the other one couldn't reach ! But i love when Billy goes off topic, he can suddenly go off on one and it takes him half an hour to get back on again. saw him in 1994, at a small local theatre, he did nearly 3 hours, when it finished i'd been laughing for so long and hard, my sides were sore for 2 days.
Try his sketch about having a colonscopy!
Sir Billy, is one of the UK's top comedians and has appeared in a few movies as well. If you don't mind hearing the F word he is hilarious. His humble beginnings as a welder in a shipyard then led to him playing music with a group and then turning his hand to comedy. He has been knighted by the Queen. He has many videos all of which are worth looking at, "Colonoscopy" being one of them. Thank you guys for choosing him to react to, you will not be disappointed (if you don't mind the F word being used that is).
He played in the humblebums with Gerry Rafferty.
My first experience of the F-word was a kid sitting on Billy's knee in the back seat of my Dad's car on the way home during a drive up the Sma Glen in Perthshire. We were sitting at a roadworks waiting for the green light to turn, when a low-flying RAF Phantom F-4 screamed overhead and Billy stuck his head out the car window and let rip with a stream of obscenities that would make your toes curl, which received a round of applause from the line of drivers in the queue. That's a true story, by the way!
Those two reactors are fairly po-faced and have watched but 'bleeped'/ 'silenced' words from Sunderland's comedian Sarah Millican before...
I don't see them as being 'overly enthusiastic' over Billy...
The guy - sorry, I forget what he said his name was - said he was waiting for the punchline, "waiting for Billy to be funny..."
I felt aggrieved on Billy's behalf, despite the fact Billy himself might just as likely shrug off such inane criticisms himself. 🤔😐🥺🏴❤️🏴❤️🇬🇧😏🖖
Couldn't click quick enough. I love this story :) glad someone else reacted.
'Crucifixion' by the Big Yin is a masterpiece! He is a genius and I have been lucky to see him live . Laughed so hard the whole show and nearly ruptured something!! 😂😂😂😂
Billy Connolly doesn’t really tell jokes,he tells stories,and at that,he is/was the best.
Billy Connolly 'Colonoscopy' and 'Woman on a bus'. I fell on the floor!!
Billy has so many stories you can't just hear one. When being interviewed along side Tom Cruise by Michael Parkinson it's comedy gold.
Billys Colonoscopy story has me crying with laughter every time i hear it. Got to do that one.
THE best comedic story teller there has ever been. It's a shame that European and in particular British and American humour is so different.
He was in The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise and a lot of other movies and tv shows.
And The Hobbit: Battle of the five Armies.
The greatest of all time. No one comes close❤
I'm from England UK and when growing up in the 1970s, this Scottish comedy genius was always on TV (also through much of the 1980s and 1990s)
My parents loved him and he always had us all in hysterics. Someone bought me a vinyl album of his as a Christmas present when I was about 13, me and my friends couldn't play it enough!
In the 1970s, the top interviewer on TV was Michael Parkinson. His show was 'Parkinson' and he was our Johnny Carson or Letterman, without the jokes. He just used to let the guests do the talking. Anyway, he said his biggest viewing figures were always for just two guests - Muhammad Ali, and Billy Connolly.
What you see here is an older-era video of The Big Yin, his younger years material is also great.
A real comedy legend!
Love Billy
Billy Connelly The Crucifixion is awesome. Back in the old days (80s-90s) his shows used to be upwards of 3 hours long
My favourite comedian. Billy is the best. Please do more, I don't think there's a funnier comedian
Absolute legend! Greatest ever 👍😊
As a young man Billy was a welder and boilermaker in the Glasgow dockyards. He heard a lot of stories about life, and he would also sing some folk songs with a banjo, with a few stories told between, Eventually the humour overtook the singing. As others have said he doesn't tell jokes as such, He just starts talking and sees where it goes. Nothing is prepared, he just has a way of remembering comical events from life, and telling them in his own style. He's quite the character. He used to ride around on a huge Harley Davidson trike. He has appeared in films as well and now lives in the US. Recently though he developed Parkinsons, so no longer does any stand up. He also has ADD, which might account for his rambling style of repartee.
Sir Billy Connolly. Comedy legend. Love the Big Yin, so funny, should react to more of his clips
His role in "Boondock Saints" is simply badass. When he plays a role, he owns it.
"And shepards we will be. For thee my lord, for thee. Power hath descended forth from thy hand that we may swiftly carry out thy command."
Billy Connolly - Mood bracelets!
Billy Connolly is comedians comedian . a genius . His storytelling is just too funny
yous need 2 whatch Billy and the story of the wilder beast ❤
Billy big break was on an HBO special in the early 90’s? With Whoopi Goldberg…
It was the one and only time…We literally could not breathe from laughing so hard. Years later, We search everywhere to find the concert and just can’t. Historically, the very best ever seen.
Billy is unfortunately underrated yet, one of the greatest.
Billy used to be in a sort of folk group called the Humblebums with Gerry Rafferty of Baker Street fame, and his early stand up comedy routines are fantastic, but the accent was a lot stronger back then so not as easy to understand perhaps.
'Terrorist attack at Glasgow airport' has to be on the list for another Billy Connolly performance, as it is based on a real life genuine attack.
He once said he had a voice like a goose farting in the fog!, he would do folk gigs and tell a few jokes in between songs, eventually the jokes took over his shows and the stand up Billy was born
Billy Connolly almost killed me on 3 separate occasions! I laughed so long and hard that I almost suffocated! 2 of those occasions were for the same joke! A desperately funny legend!
For two days after seeing him in concert in Perth City Hall, my ribs hurt so much that I swore I had gone 15 rounds with Mike Tyson!
Love the big yin, grew up watching him and Dave Allen
Excellent
Billy actually was a musician with Gerry Rafferty ,they were a duo called The Humble Bums and then he got into other areas when Gerry formed /joined the band Steelers Wheel , their big hit was Stuck in the Middle With You .... Billy was the last person to interview John Bonham on a music TV show called Alright Now in 1980..
Actually, The Humblebums originally consisted of Billy and a guy called Tam Harvey and Gerry Rafferty joined later and they continued as a trio on the folk club circuit. Tam Harvey got tired of life on the road and left the group in around 1970 and Billy and Gerry continued on as a duo after that for another couple of years. Gerry and Billy eventually went their separate ways: Billy to do his solo stand-up and Gerry headed to London and joined Stealers Wheel before eventually pursuing his solo career.
@@colindouglas7769 OK Thx I did not know the exact history of Humble but I have known Billy and Gerry for a very long time and I listened to their music
That poor part of the world 😂😂settle down,abit disrespectful
The uk is full of story/gag stand-ups!
Billy and Robin Williams were close friends, having bonded over their love of comedy. When both were diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, Billy tried to keep up Robin's spirits with phone conversations about their symptoms. Robin couldn't cope with his cognitive and physical decline but Billy, now 80, says he's dying but not dead as recent news had reported.
Incontinence pads , Colonoscopy , The Scrotum , Prostate Exam just a few of Billy's hugely funny stand ups well worth a reaction.
Try listening to his early stuff (unfilmed) ... He is an absolute master at making the mundane, hilarious ... I still cry laughing at his albums
Billy is the funniest stand-up comedian I have ever seen. I promise you guys, you've just entered into a massive Billy shaped rabbit-hole. I wuldn't know where to suggest you continue your research into his legendary routines...but a few others you might like to try are 'Incontinence knickers' and 'Colonoscopy', two of my other faves. I almost envy you guys just about to enter Billy's rabbit-hole for the first time...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a Scot myself I love the Big yin.
I was introduced to Billy through his story of getting a colonoscopy. 😆🤣🤣
Check out his story about the soccer fan who accidentally goes into the wrong spectator area, when two local rivals play each other, the final twist is brilliant.
Guys, If you really worry about a strong Scottish accent, you should react to the SNL skit on "Scottish Air Traffic Contol". You don't need to worry about understanding the accent, that's the premise of the skit.
Billy Connolly is master of telling a joke in story form and is known for going off on tangents before returning to the joke. His humour is very conversational.
Billy Connolly is hilarious.
As a child Billys telling of Jesus Christ and his subsequent Crucifixion was one of the funniest things I had ever seen and still is
Hi wildebeest tail will have you in stitches 😅
my absolute favourite 😀
@@danielswood I've never seen a lion, somebody said they are beige!!
Billy Connolly is a comedy genius !
"Billy and Albert" is one of the best comedy live performances of ALL TIME !
But to be honest, all of his shows are awesome. You cannot go wrong with any of them.
Billy is a very clever comedian, he often starts a funny story and goes off on many tangents and 20 minutes later finishes the one that he started.
You guys have to give Peter Kay and the miss-heard lyrics a go, guaranteed tears of laughter.
I have some recommendations for you for some older comic groups. The Goon Show was a show on BBC radio from 1950 t0 1961 that had a major influence on later comedy. The Monty Pythoners grew up listening to this show. Bob and Ray were a comic duo on US radio and TV from the late 1940's to Ray's death in 1990. And last but not least, The Firesign Theatre which started on radio in L.A. in 1966. They produced record albums, one of the first comic CD's and a number of movies. Enjoy!
His sketch "Colonoscopy" is one of his greatest achievements
Even us Brits sometimes struggle to understand the Scottish Accent, especially those Scots from the far North of the country.
hes a story teller and funny at it
THE G.O.A.T.
He is really funny. He’s had several appearances on Craig Ferguson show it’s hilarious 😊
Fun fact! Billy in the 60s was half of a Scottish folk duo, think Smothers Brothers, with another Scottish musician named Gerry Rafferty, who went on to form the band Stealers Wheel and then a great solo career.
The folk band in question was known as The Humblebums, and it was a duo consisting of Billy, a fellow called Tam Harvey, and then became a trio with Gerry Rafferty. Tam Harvey left The Humblebums in around 1970 and Billy and Gerry continued on together for another year to 18 months, until they came to a mutual agreement that they'd taken it as far as they could and they split and went their separate ways. Billy went into his solo stand-up shows and Gerry headed for the bright lights of London, initially as part of Stealers Wheel and then as a solo artiste.
Billy Connelly is a very talented musician, and probably THE best story-teller. PLEASE react to Billy's reaction to a terrorist attack in Glasgow. Make sure you have tissues handy, tears of laughter will surely ensue.
Pale blue Scottish person is a HBO Special he did y e a r s ago. But, it’s well worth looking for.
You have so much to look forward to with the Billy Connolly archive! It’s not so much jokes as really funny stories that get your imagination working! Just pick a video if you haven’t seen any of his stand up. You will not be disappointed!
I knew, I just knew you two would be po-faced about Billy. He's one of our greatest comedians, a great comedy actor and presenter of trips around Australia (where his wife is from)
yet you were not exactly enthralled due to your general attitude re language etc.
Have you watched _Dave Allen_ 'who _doesnt_ swear, (unlike Billy Connolly) talking about religion', including:
the 'nun outside the oub', and
the 'teaching a child how to tell the time on an analogue watch', and
about 'going to school for the first time aged around six', and
about the 'blessing at the funeral of sn uncle', and
about 'Adam & Eve'?
These are all short clips available on UA-cam and are _all_ well worth watching... 😏🇮🇪🙂🏴❤️🇬🇧🤔🖖
Billy Connolly launched a ‘new’ style of comedy, moving from the wisecracking one line comedy style into story telling. He was seen as bold & brash but nonetheless hilarious in the 1970’s for his observational style delivery of stories about everyday life. I would say he’s the grandfather of modern comedy with the likes of Peter Kay, Michael McIntyre, John Bishop & Rhod Gilbert following in his footsteps. It’s an acquired taste but the amazing thing is that he became an actor & was very highly regarded in his dramatic role of ‘Mrs Brown’ amongst others.
You need to watch old lasy on a bus and terrorists at Glasgow airport. Best comedian ever.
You'd like Ralphie May's "$97 Salad"
ohhh the Big Yin - what a man he is
I saw Billy in Concert in the 90s. His show was 2 1/2 hours. But come on guys if have to hear some Richard Pryor! He is the king!
Billy Connolly has a longer presence in the series of comedians in front of other celebrities under the title of "An Evening with " in this case "An Evening with Billy Connolly " . Further to his talent is the film "Mrs Brown" the story of Queen Victoria played by the excellent Judy Dench and the close relationship with John Brown after the death of her much loved Prince Albert.
Buddy Hackett was a comedian from the 60s through the 80s who used to build on a story. I saw him in Vegas in the 70s and he told this story about an a**hole who robbed a gas station (he had a smile that went straight up and down his face). My aunt and uncle who had seen him before said he added to the story.
Also I watched your recent reaction to Gerry rafferty who formed a band with Billy Connolly called the Humblebums.
Boondock Saints!!! Love Billy. A good country storyteller to check out.....Jerry Clower.
I enjoy your reactions to the clips I have watched. There is one out there, that I think you two might like and I would enjoy seeing your reaction to it. Not many have done it, in fact I have only been able to find one who has . Check out who Gordon Sinclair is and then watch the recording of a speach he gave called "The Americans" . It is older but well worth a listen.
Ive been listening to Billy since 1987. He is hysterical
This is funny, but there are better ones like "The Glasgow Terrorist Attack" and "The Colonoscopy" Billy is a national treasure he's brilliant. another great Scottish comedian you should give a listen to is Kevin Bridges, sooo funny, love your reactions guys
Old lady in a bus is hilarious
Billy did several tv series in the US so surprised you didn't see him.They were successful at the time.He played a teacher in one can't remember what the others were.I'm sure if you google you will get them.
You have to check out "Ivan the Terrible" I first heard that back in 1977, I still laugh my ass off to this day when I hear it. Billy Connolly is the best there is!!!
Abbot & costello. Whos on first. Funny
Billy is so funny. If you've seen the hobbit battle of the 5 army's he was iron foot. the leader of the Dwarven army.
Try his wildebeest story. This story is a good one, but probably not the best introduction to him. Also the old woman on a bus is great too.
I think you would enjoy "would I Lie to You" anything with Bob Mortimer is good.
If you want to see the real Billy go to an audiance with, its longer but very funny
OMG - I thought I would not make it through his colonoscopy bit.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Vey funny!😂😂
You must watch Dame Edna Everage being interviewed by Michael Parkinson in 2014, utterly hilarious🤣
Anytime you're on a bus in Glasgow SOMETHING funny is going to happen.
Check out his 'blue-ringed octopus' story.
You need to watch Micky Flanagan, one of the funniest English comedians that we have. Warning, he is from London and has a strong Cockney accent, I'm from the North East of the UK and struggle at times.
N
Hands-down NO 1LEGEND!.
Please do Glasgow airport terminal attack.True storey.Funny as.
If you enjoyed this then Billy Connolly's wildebeest sketch is well worth a watch.
