People will be laughing at Benny Hill long after today's 'comedians' are forgotten.
Total legend, miles better than todays so called “ comedians”
Well said totally agree
@@ukovertkill me too. Rest in peace benny, 🌹🌹🌹
Definitely agree with you there
Spot on Fella.
When I clicked on this video I honestly thought Benny Hill was going to jump out of the coffin. Do something like grab a girl over his shoulder and take her back into the coffin with him and close the lid.
There's something wrong if you never found Benny hill funny ..as a kid he was on prime time and we just laughed at his silly antics ..now days frowned upon .so sad .
One of the greatest cleverest, most talented comedians and funniest entertainers of the 20th century. Benny Hill is greatly missed, his shows were a MUST watch, and we lost an absolute legend when he passed. Can't believe its 32 years ago now. God bless his memory. 😢😢
If only comedy was like this today
i am 72 years old and all along and living Benny Hill show .god bless him for ever and ever
I thank the lord Jesus Christ for giving the world Benny hill …… from America
Amen.
Benny Hill was one of the greatest comedians of all time. His sketches were so brilliantly put together and however many times you see them they are still extremely funny. Very underrated. RIP
Barry May.
How can someone that was extremely popular be "very underrated"?
@@redblade8160
Benny Hill was underrated because he was not considered a megastar even though he had megastar qualities. He was never a leading man in a movie and although he was a decent singer he was never number one on the charts. And finally, and this part hurts a bit but anyone who has watched at least 80% of Hills work, you will notice him repeating jokes and songs quite often. The man was a genius and spoke several languages quite fluently, French, German and Spanish I noticed mostly.

You need to get your facts straight instead of talking out of your backside!
Benny Hill did get to number one; he topped the UK Singles Chart in December 1971, with "Ernie (the fastest milkman in the west). And Benny Hill was not "underrated", he was very popular and just because he spoke 3 other languages fluently (so you say) does not make him a genius.
Hill was a class' act, how could he offend anybody all the "crap" on TV now. don't make me laugh Benny Hill made me laugh I am sat here watching Benny Hill right now 2022❤IT. RIP MY FRIEND..🕯👼
unbelievable man
each time I watch him I cry laughing
@@jcbcab2001 😂😁👍
this scene looks so much like one of his sketches I genuinely thought he was going to fall out the bottom of the coffin... RIP Benny!
HaHa Some years ago there was a spoof burial ceremony on UA-cam about Benny Hill with something like that. I was expecting it again too.
I used to watched the Benny hill show in the seventies and eighties when I'm a little kid on the Wednesday evening
All the good ones are gone and we miss them all, what we wont ever miss today is all the awful crap that is served up to us nowadays. RIP to all the past good uns.
You know I'm smitten, when I clicked on this expecting it to be one of his skits.
Put him in the air again on both sides of pond
. He can teach younger generation what being funny is really all about.
I'll never forget seeing The Benny Hill Show for the first time, here in the US. I was a kid and loved him. Still do!
rip benny🙏🏿🙏🏿 30 years gone too soon 1992-2022
I was a sad day I loved Benny hill rest in peace 🕊️
I was a Senior in high school sitting in my english class one day & saw a newspaper on the floor & I picked it up & saw a picture of Benny Hill & saw the headline that he had died & I was shocked cause I had been watching Benny Hill since I was 6 years old
RIP from Lima-Peru Mr Benny Hill, we are big fans from your work.
good old benny
One of the Greats! We used to watch all the shows as a family and my dad loved him! Along with The Two Ronnie's, Morecambe and Wise, Harry Worth and Dick Emery! Sad they've all passed to a better place but at least they created a lot of wonderful happy memories for people while they were here! They were all class acts, unlike the pathetic so called comedians of the last twenty years. Most nowadays are crude and unfunny at the same time
Benny Hill una leyenda de la comedia, de los más grandes aquí en Argentina lo miraba de niño con mis padres y estallabamos de risa, aquí el nombre de Benny Hill en mí país es palabra mayor todos lo siguen recordando y extrañando sus programas. Que en paz descanse maestro.
Gonna miss You Benny!
You alwayscheered me up when I was sad. Rest in peace my dear friend.
He was one of the funniest men ,who made millions laugh
Benny was part of my growing up. My family loved this show and we all looked forward to that four times a year there was a new Benny Hill Show. I used to love the chase scene and the silent sketches.
Merci Benny,dans les années 80 ont n'a grandi avec tes sketches le dimanche soir sur FR3
One of our Finest. A Comedy Legend.
Rest in peace Benny hill you brought laughter around the world
Should have it at fast forward,Benny would have loved that.
Benny Hill was the Man, the Myth, the Legend, the King of British comedy! Benny Hill put a lot of good humor and feelings into his show. So sad hearing that the man died too soon. May he RIP.
Ah he gave us such a good laugh watched him all the time growing up R.I.P Benny god bless.
Very few, if indeed any, of his sketches have become dated. It is because he made fun of phenomena not specific persons or incidents. He made fun of human behavior in general.
Rest In Peace Benny and thank you for all the laughs. You are missed.
Benny Hill, Dave Allen now they were comedians not the tat we have now
Cannon and ball two Ronnies, we had the best sit coms too,now these days comedians and sit coms it’s all crap.
If they don't make you laugh are they comedians at all
@@zoomzoom885 to right I sit there and think how are this lot comedians none of them make me giggle
A one man tour de force! A very very clever, genuine and honest man who stayed true to his roots. A pioneer of television comedy in its earliest days. RIP Benny!
April 20 this year marks 30 YEARS SINCE BENNY HILL PASSED 🥺
Already 30 years? my goodness, time is running so fast! so sad when Benny Hill died alone, I remember I was watching his show on Sundays in France, so amazing person, and the famous music by Boots Randolph made a lot a fun!! RIP!
“King of Comedy” an apt title so befitting of the late Benny Hill the likes of whom will never walk this earth again. An incredible individual who brought so much of laugher & happiness to millions of television viewers throughout the world. RIP Benny.
Oh it was his actual funeral. I read the title and was expecting a Benny Hill sketch where he would jump out of the coffin. Sadly not so.
R.I.P. Benny, you were a genius.
No. This IS his funeral and he didn't come out of his casket. This is a real life funeral for a very fine, excellent man who only wanted to make others laugh and have a good time laughing.
Days later after newspapers reported he’d been buried with his valuable possessions, grave robbers dug him up. He had to be re-buried with a much heavier stone placed on top. Soulless monsters!
This is so sad
How could ANYONE do such a thing like that to someone who is now in their eternal restful sleep? I have read about that before and that totally discuss me.
Its probably what he would have wanted
The best by far !
Very nice and respectful tribute. I wish more,people could understand that it may seem like an intrusion filming his funeral. But new generations of fans discover his work and being able to show the final ending to his life seems satisfying in seeing how many people paid their respects.
Wouldn't it have been funny if his last wish was for the pallbearers to speed up to his shows end credits music to the grave.
Now that would have been first class comedy to the end🤣👏
So long Benny..we love you.
If you were really having a hard time, Benny could make you laugh and feel good about your predicament. Rest Peacefully Mr. Hill.
The great man never failed to make me smile.
Benny was the victim of a terrible grave robbing incident which sickened me. RIP Benny, a true comedy legend x.
It was said he was buried with gold OCTOBER of 92 grave robbers opened his grave sickening
@@Dogsgrove Yes, it is totally discusting. I hope they got caught and sent to the slammer for what they did.
He will be missed by us all. A delightful comic with a heart of gold.😢😢😢😢😢
Absolute Legend. RIP
Benny is up there with the angels
Dear old boy, he really did make people Laugh and feel happy, the greatest milkman, too 😇😉🍶
I think Benny would like it if we sped up the film and put that music in.
Check out the Robot Chicken version
And see him in the crowd watching his own funeral.
The great man was from my hometown, my sister was fortunate enough to have seen him walking to the train station on his way to Thames television. RIP 🙏 Benny.
I miss him every day.
When his anthology of Thames shows hit the American airwaves in 1978 in the half-hour formats, it was a HUGE impact. Nobody had seen anything like it in the US, and haven't since.
He was very funny man and always liked him and favourite to my parents
fantastic comic sadly missed ! RIP BENNY HILL we love you xx
Wait a minute though we now have comedians like Lenny Henry, and he is the joke of the year.
Lenny Henry has been a popular comedian since the 1970s.
@@MatgoStyles I have watched many a show in the past with Lenny Henry cracking his jokes but in all honesty I have never really found him funny.
lenny henry was never funny in my opinion ..each to their own
@@MatgoStyles Popular maybe, funny, no. Most famous for Premier inns really
In 1982, as a young buck of 17, I was leaning over a first floor scaffold surrounding a building in Kensington…..taking a breather and having a sneaky smoke. I looked down and saw Benny Hill walking along the road eating a Picnic Bar. He was just strolling along enjoying the moment. I rushed to find my workmates and told them and they didn’t believe me….. Weirdly I saw Lance Percival that day too ! He was walking a dog (or dogs, it was a long time ago and memory fades), I didn’t bother mentioning that to my workmates.
London’s like that, you walk around attending to your own business and a celebrity walks past, it brightens the day.
Interesting fact about #BennyHill #1 ..... he is buried right next to my beautiful grandparents, in Hollybrook cemetery, Shirley, #Southampton .. and this fact brings me & my family great joy xx
Most if not all those that went to his funeral are hypocrites. Not one of them stood by him and helped him when he got axed by the Tv company that he himself made millions of pounds for. Not one of them stopped what they were doing and said no enough is enough to the tv company that sacked him..
HYPOCRITES..
We loved you, Benny. We always will. 🥛
Benny was very popular outside the UK, which is rare for a British comedian. Thames Television sacked Benny in 1989 when politically correct bosses didn't renew his contract. After audiences demanded he be reinstated, Central Television sent him a new contract for a series of TV specials in 1992. Benny passed away the same day the contract arrived in the post.
I worked in his garden a couple of times,he was in but never came out.
not one of the star on tv as a patch on this great man
truly a legend rip benny
your shows will live on
R.i.P. funny man Mr.Benny Hill✝️📖🙏
The biggest grave robbers are those who've attacked Benny Hill's legacy and genius.
Thanks for the loffs Benny. You are a genius and definitely one of the best. God bless.......👍
Colin Westwood-What are loffs??
@@janetthomson6347 🤣
I loved his shows as a child. I still find him funny today, even though it's not allowed
Funny man
it shows you how grounded he was even though he was very rich he lived like the punters woldwide who loved him nice and simple and was buried that way i think he was the worlds greatest comedian when my father was alive it was a family treat to watch it and cry with laughter he made the world laugh and sadly today there is none that can do that we are heading back to the dark ages where people are to afraid to laugh thank god for youtube when can still relive great times god bless you benny you should of been knighted your comedy is timeless and a worldwide spark of laughter and happiness god bless you son
Just superb
A great comedian who learnt his craft the hard way. Worldwide fame - as usual underappreciated in this country with its sniffy attitudes.
Thought this was a sketch.. was waiting for Benny to pop up and give that Benny smile
(From Robot Chicken)
"This April, marks the thirty-first anniversary of the death of a true British hero. On that date in 1992, the great comedic voice of Benny Hill was silenced forever. We now take you back to that sombre day."
(Properly)

he was one of a kind, sadly missed
Benny's shows on cable TV now come with a warning that some viewers might find the content offensive ! I find todays so called comedians offensive , every other word a swear word just to get laughs . 1970's the Golden age of TV , Benny , Tommy Cooper , Ken Dodd , Frankie Howard , Morcombe & Wise , with Des O'Conoor , Les Dawson All gone but not forgotten
Dick Emery, Tony Hancock.
RIP Benny. 🙏❤️
It's a shame how badly he was treated by the networks at the end. He still makes me laugh.
I noticed one of his former frequent cast members was not at the funeral - Jenny Lee-Wright. I know at that point she had moved or was moving on to full-time foley work, but - wha' happened, falling out with Dennis Kirkland or something? She was also conspicuously absent from the BBC Omnibus profile on Hill.
❤ Gracias por hacerme Reír!!!!!!❤ Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
❤
You can rest in peace Benny, you were loved by so many, God bless, sleep tight.
Badly used and let down in the end, by his employers. May he enjoy making God laugh and may he rest in peace.
THE KING OF COMEDY NO ONE IN THE WORLD EVER CAME ANYWHERE CLOSE TO BENNY THE CLOSIST WAS ERIC MORECOMBE R.I.P BENNY AND ERIC
In he's Day he was the best.
Benny❤️🙏🌹🇮🇹
Miss you Mrs. BENNY HILL.
if you play the video at double speed with "Yakety Sax" playing in the background, it's much less sad.
Respect…
It's a shame the pall bearers didn't do it in fast motion with the theme tune
Yes, I expected “Yackety Sax”
He was going to jump out of the coffin, grab a girl over his shoulder to take back into the coffin with him but then he thought maybe he shouldn't because funerals are supposed to be solemn.
Wait a minute! This isn't how Robot Chicken showed this event at all...
One of a kind.....One of a kind. RIP
The best R.I.P benny
Don’t want to appear disrespectful but I could imagine the carrying of the coffin being sped up as it’s led into the church 👍.
With the 'Benny Hill Music' playing in the background.
@@antman5474 Ha Ha Ha. Forgot about that 👍🤣😂.
May he lie sweetly at rest. RIP, you funny man.
Rest in peace.
You had in in stitches more than once.
Riposa in pace è stato un grande attore comico quando mi capita fi vedere le sue scene lo rivedo von piacere mi fa tanto ridere
SO SAD, R I P.🙏🙏
A belated goodbye Benny. Thank you for making me laugh, so much.
One of the best
The only things that separate Benny Hill from comedians today are courage and conviction, laziness, huge weekly viewing figures, talent and lucrative international popularity. Other than that… 😂
They should put his music over this and everyone fast walking
I was looking for this kind of comment
*AND I FOUND IT!* 😆
Muy elegante el funeral... donde esta el alma????😮
😊GREAT ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
