Billy Connoly told this story the same way most Glaswegians would tell it. He told it exactly as it was & only the Scots would be able to turn such a terrible act into the funniest story imaginable. Billy Connoly, you sir are a legend, a son of Glasgow & we ALL love you. The Big Yin.
The attack happened in June 2007 and every person who knows anything about Scotland knows that doing that sort of thing here isn't going to fly. Yes the baggage handler and taxi drivers pulled the idiots from the car not to save them but to give them a kicking. One of them died of their wounds and not one jot was given. Life is hard enough and we don't need nor will we stand for some halfwit trying to make it worse. I've also met John Smeaton and he is a lovely guy just doing his job.
They would have had a lot more knocking fuck out of them if the people who couldn't go on holiday got a hold of them. Dont fuck wi scots... especially when they've booked 2 weeks in the sun.
@@bud1876 "...when they've booked 2 weeks in the sun". Yeah, we pay for the privilege of travelling abroad to get burned. We don't want it brought to us.
Born and bred in Glasgow myself, Billy's on point totally. Glasgow's a city that doesn't take kindly to terrorists thinking they can bully our people. John Smeaton did what any other Glaswegian would have done, kicked the shit out them while on fire. Billy's a great storyteller, always funny and truthful. Great video bro 👍
I love the fact you play Billy connolly on your channel and you actually get what he's talking about. Lobe seeing Americans react to Scottish stuff 💯🏴🇺🇲. Peace bro ✌️
live not far from Glasgow airport and remember the events well. Although at first shocking it quickly became hilarious after John Smeaton was interviewed. He was a national hero
The big danger was if the terrorists had actually managed to get their blazing jeep into the airport's arrivals hall. If a return flight of Glaswegians from Benidorm had been arriving with their duty free booze the whole place might have lit up like a refinery fire.
Yea the "Big Yin" (Billy) is a legend I am from Glasgow too and I remember this event well! No one was really sure at first exactly what had gone down but it sounded bad when the news reports started coming in! I remember well turning on the Telly and seeing a few of the "John Smeaton" interviews and the BBC reporter Billy is talking about and a CNN reporter totally confused at what he was saying but getting the gist with his arm, shoulder movements and head gestures! "Aye the flames were skooshing oot" You could not help but cry with laughter and pride at the same time! Anyway mate another great show bro!
My parents were in the airport at that moment waiting to go on holiday. My only concern was my mum was gonna be raging she didn't get to fly to Spain that day, but luckily they did get to fly out the same night. As for the idiots who tried this shit on with Glasgow, it's like a Laurel & Hardy sketch. 😂
'Don't come here...we'll set aboot ye.' - Translation: 'Don't come here...we shall deliver swift and decisive pain in the form of hard fist and foot contact on your person, and there is a handsome chance others who know not why we are doing such things will join in the efforts as People Make Glasgow.'
Very funny video, although such British reaction is not confined to Glasgow, the recent London Bridge attack had one member of the public beating seven bells of shit out of the terrorist with a Narwhales tusk, who only stopped when the police asked him to step aside so they could shoot the bugger
The guy with the Narwhal tusk was a prisoner, on probation, in town for a conference to help stop reoffenders. The great British justice system actualy gave him time off for good behaviour!
the difference being, the terrorist in Glasgow were on fire and Glaswegians attacked him for daring to attack Glasgow. This also happened just at the Glasgow fair holidays which is another explanation for the reaction. Glaswegians all go on holiday at this time and these terrorists had tried to ruin their holiday even before the plane took off
@@PercyPruneMHDOIFandBars Very true but you must admire his courage tackling the terrorist who he had just seen hack the two young barristers to death and who was attacking bystanders on London Bridge by grabbing the tusk on display in the conference reception area and running out with to confront the murderer face to face.
The reason thst attack isn't talked about is because it wasn't an act anywhere near as compeling a story as the glasgow terrorist attack. Of course praise to him. But England stop trying to one up us 😂 joking 🤔🏴🏴
@@aarinreynolds-predatorcatc4168 I wasn't trying to steal Glasgow's limelight but just pointing out that maybe it is a British trait in the face of adversity. Both are examples of amazing bravery and Billy does make it very funny. I'm Welsh and not English
I was working at the airport during the attack, in airport security. Didn't see any of it. Just had to tell hundreds of angry folk they weren't getting on their planes
I live close to Glasgow and worked in the CO-OP not too far from the Shipyards Billy worked in round about the same time. I`ll bet you Sean you don`t have a clue about most of the things he`s talking about even though you`re laughing. Life here has always been hard and we don`t take kindly to idiots doing their best to make it harder. In fact, after 2007, it never happened again. Us Scots will be the 1st to laugh at ourselves and Billy tells the story in a fun way, we all do, its our way of getting by. I like to see the funny side of life, not to laugh at others misfortune but, to see the comical side to everyday life, esp., in Glasgow.
Billy is simply one of the best, if not THE best story teller and comedian from "the good old days" who still is as funny now as he ever was and his comedy stood the test of time very well over the years. And most of his stuff is grabbed straight out of real life too, giving that extra layer of authenticity, Billy is unique and the only one on par with him was his good friend Robin Williams.
Even if you aren't from Glasgow, if you know Billy, that is Glasgow personified. Terrorism in Glasgow made me laugh until I passed out. Omg. John Smeaton is a freakin' hero. Puts the cigarette out on the ground and walks TOWARDS the explosion. lmao That is Glasgow. They are unafraid of anything. This was a challenge. lolol
Not just John Smeaton, another boy kicked one of the terrorists so hard on the balls he tore tendons in his foot. Got to love my fellow countrymen 💪🏴
Hi Sean, I hope you see this. I am from England. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 Billy was talking about 'Aristocrats' which have nothing to do with celebrities. Celebrities can still have the 'conmoner' mind set and can still be very trashy, demanding, entitles, and have a 'holier than thou' attitude. Aristocrats have none of these. They are usually very humble and clueless. You cannot compare Aristocrats to Celebrities. They are a dying breed that are nearly gone. We English don't see many of them anymore.
When Billy talks about the bloke going to receive his 52 virgins then mentions that fact that he entering that fictional place called Heaven without his wedding tackle? well I nearly fell of my chair peeing meself here, Ohhh the irony and the complete,and utter lunacy of religion eh? Pft. The Big Yin at his usual finest.
I drove by Glasgow airport on way home from the nearby braehead shopping centre and all was normal and by time I got home around 15 mns later it was all over breaking news that Glasgow Airport had been attacked by terrorists, it must have happened around the same time I was driving past there.
I'm commenting to feed the algorithm for you. One comment, imagine the same thing going down in Compton, that would be something, less talking more shooting. :-D There is a very little fear in a tribe that has had it's back to the sea for 1,000's of years and was only conquered on risk of extermination a VERY short time ago. Even the Romans could not take the Scots ;-)
The media made a lot more out of one guy than others who were present, tends to happen, the story is true though, guys tried to blow up the airport and got his baws booted while he was completely on fire, If it had been someones gran or mum out having a cig it would have been the same story. Most of Billy Connollys finest work is on vinyl, I can remember listening to his recorded shows as a kid on the hi fi.
With Sean laughing hard over Big Yin’s joke about religious violence without the football team, I am wondering if he understands how many fights(and possible deaths) there was in Glasgow, between the Prodies(Rangers Protestants supporters) and the Catholic’s(Celtic’s supporters), which happened almost every week they played each other, which is what that comment was about.?.?.?.?.?.
Good video bud but this video always make me wonder if others outside of the UK understand the context behind the religious fanatics without a football team joke
I was 14 when this happened. I seem to remember john actually hurt his foot. (That's how hard he kicked that burning terrorist in the balls. xD) They never tried Belfast for some reason...
Thus proving that Americans DO understand the Scottish accent! Look at how Ron Howard cracks up with Kevin Bridges ua-cam.com/video/UYXKhXFRaOI/v-deo.html
At the moment we might have the capacity but there farstly over taking us in breeding, so a few years down the line it will definitely be a whole different story that stats an facts don’t lie

I love this clip. After living in Glasgow for 26 years it’s totally like that too🤣 great reaction mate. Can’t go wrong with billy 👍
Is there serious violence outside of the supporters clubs?
@@jamesgorman5241 what do you mean? I mean the attitude of Glasgow people to not give a shit, and beat 7 shades of shit out of a terrorist 🤣
@@jamesgorman5241 ehhhhh aye! That’s why its the murder capital of Europe m8

I live in Glasgow, .... that is exactly how it went down lol.
Fuck I miss the place.
@Mojo Risin Frankie Boyle joke
I'm from Canada but I know Glaswegians. I damn near died laughing when I heard this happened. OMG they had no freakin' clue did they?! roflmao
I live in Glasgow loved this🤣
Loved your reaction! Your laugh is infectious! I was laughing at Billy and you!
The big danger was if the terrorists had actually managed to get their blazing jeep into the airport's arrivals hall. If a return flight of Glaswegians from Benidorm had been arriving with their duty free booze the whole place might have lit up like a refinery fire.
Thank Jose the flight wasn't from the Canaries, it's tax-free for booze and tobacco.
Frankie Boyle joke badly told

Ha ha only in glasgow would somebody punch a man on flames in the face 🤣🤣 makes me proud to be glaswegian 🏴✌
You should be proud! We Canucks are sick of these idiots as well. Well done John Smeaton and all the lads that joined in!
Love Billy, done wonders for our city

I've lived just outside Glasgow my whole life, it's amazing just how many people would do the same thing
I was never so proud to be from Glasgow lol
I love this so much!!! It needs subtitles for my grandkids. I understand but they don't 😅
You’ve got to react to shouting at the wildebeest, that’s one of his best sketches
Good vid Sean, yeah we don't mess around with terrorist here🏴🏴🏴 was at the airport next day, got a flight to Greece no bother
It's a story about your average guy acting on a situation. Not necessarily about terrorism, just about right and wrong.
Some hero's wear Hi-Viz 👍
Big Smeato! lol
Semi recently a man pulled a gun out in Glasgow city centre and the reaction was much the same lol
Billy Connolly, one of our greats. Shame he now has dementia.
Your laugh makes me laugh. Your a man that puts a smile on others. God bless
Billy is the guvnor !
Not just John Smeaton, another boy kicked one of the terrorists so hard on the balls he tore tendons in his foot.
Got to love my fellow countrymen 💪🏴
John Smeaton hero 👊 of this story , funnily enough he now lives in the Bronx NY and now works as a carpet cleaner
i was at that show ...
Bravo Sean!
Love watching other ppl enjoy Billy too. Have you heard the last supper? 😂🖖🏻
Hi Sean, I hope you see this.

You must watch Dave Allen on religion its hilarious
Billy has a channel now 👍
Been a long time since billy Connolly
When Billy talks about the bloke going to receive his 52 virgins then mentions that fact that he entering that fictional place called Heaven without his wedding tackle? well I nearly fell of my chair peeing meself here, Ohhh the irony and the complete,and utter lunacy of religion eh?

nice rendition by yourself and Billy
Bro I love Mr Connolly...I met him once...but I love you for liking him...we have a sick good homuor...you have me as fan Bro
Bill CONLEY When he was young.. hilarious bro😂😂
Always fear ppl with nothing to lose

Yasssss I come fae there 🏴 Glasgow, don’t come here way yer pish 🏴 🤣😂🤣❤️❤️❤️

you should swap the screen space around so the talent gets prime position instead of your dresser.....nice at it is
Religious fanatics in Glasgow without a football team...
Hi Sean
Have look at “Freddie Star speed up song live”
Another great comedian who actually does have a great voice.
Fred's dead!
I know! Whats your point?
Have a look at “Rod Gilbert luggage scene”
Welsh comedian.
🏴🇬🇧❤️
Show the comedian on the main screen with the boast on the insert and turn the sound up on the comedian and down, down, down on the boast.
he's as funny as sticking a 4'' nail under your big toe nail and kicking a door shut.
Turns out, the terrorist was a doctor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So was the guy with him.
Good watch Sean Ta for that
John Smeaton wit a fuckin legend. True Glesga hero 😂
Glasgow people, straight, down to earth people, but don't fcuk with them.
Has there been a terrorist attack in Scotland since then.... no .. no there hasnt. Lesson were learnt that day 🤣🤣🤣
Try Mickey flanagan
