Surely one of the greatest comedians to have lived. No gimmicks. No shock value. No 'edgy' stuff for the sake of it. Just sheer bloody talent. He was brilliant.
I am going on 62 and have been around this planet all obver the place and seen great comedians but non have come anywere close to him. Hes is the greatest there ever was.
The man was a comedic genius. From the 70's I recall tears of laughter running down my face watching his shows 😂 Ironically, many of his memorable moments are still relavent to this day, some 50 years later! And I'm still here laughing and laughing. Dave, you were and always will be the best❤❤.
@michaelkingsfordgrey. Why are you so obsessed by usernames? Have seen you have a go about it more than once. Not everyone is comfortable laying their lives out for the world to see and dig into
It was always exciting to see Dave Allen on the TV when I was a youngster and to be able to access his routines whenever I feel like it as an adult is such a pleasure. I remember him well, smoking, drinking whiskey, riffing about religion and introducing his sketches - on prime time TV.
Have you noticed they've closed all the post offices and moved them into places that you either need a chart and compass to find ,or the nearest parking is half a mile away then close what's left because they say that no one uses them .A truly brilliant comedian who is certainly up with the best of the best ,thank you for putting Dave on
I was approached, when queuing in a bank, by a young lady. Trying to get me to have a credit card, I said , No thanks, she said, you can buy anything on it and pay monthly, and only pay whatever percent a month, I replied with my voice a little louder, I would rather save up and buy what I want and pay No Interest. She looked at me with a look of incredulity on her face and moved on. One or two in the queue smiled.😀
One of the greatest comedians/story-tellers from back in the days when people really believed that banks lent money, whereas the amount you wanted to “borrow” was only created after you signed the commitment to pay them the amount; on top of which were fees and compound interest payments, the money for which was never created. This legalised extortion has created massive unpayable debt burdens and social disruption. Would have been great to have Dave Allen’s humour and wit with us today.
I was once told by a bank teller that I could do all the transactions I required at their automated bank machines. I replied “I’d sooner come to you guys and keep you all in a job.” She had no reply to that.
@@secondchance6603 Most of them do, but they’re forced to hit targets for transfers to online etc for so many accounts a day or they get bad performance reviews, and booted out the door. So they’re in a lose lose situation. (Mum is a bank teller)
@@tims5129 I didn't, and i've not had a credit card. But in the 80s i did foresee mass obesity in UK- debt and consumption culture encouraged by government and the greedy capitalist system. Did you know that moron means carrot in Welsh?
You are the best person to make me laugh 😂 I love 😍 your way in the world And you are Wright in all you do I'm from Ireland 🇮🇪 and I love your work mate and my name is teresa bullman so you keep it up 👆
I used to watch Dave Allen on T V he's very clever and gee whiz we all laughed and had tears rolling down our faces and you had to be clever because his jokes were so smart they could be taken different ways gee now you have left us sometimes I think you are telling god some of your jokes and that's why we are getting alot of thunder as god must of fallen off his chair from laughing at your jokes cheers Dave Allen xxxooo
How times change..... Dave Allen wouldn't have a problem with bank queues these days as there are no longer any banks on the high street - all gone now. ATMs are going the same way 🙄
i love his curse words...no other comedian speaks like that. different from the vulgarity of american comedians...this is so funny the way he says it...
Is there ANYTHING he ever said that wasnt TRUE? Bless You Dave Allen... And still we live our lives according to these Cretins - Post Office/Banks etc etc

I just found out about him today, but also that he passed in 2005. Bitter sweet. Just came from him talking about the garden of eden.
You said it all
People nowadays know nowt about great comedians. Allan. Manning. The rest.
Bunch of woke folk that lived thru the scamdemic
@@jackitcovitz1816 What does ‘woke folk’ mean?
@@corbeau-_- 51p thank u very much god bless u love you
I just loved Dave Allen. Another beloved star taken from us too soon.❤❤❤
The greatest observational comedian of human nature EVER... Greatly missed

Saw him live in Plymouth years ago
He was brilliant. No support act, no props, just him and his genius.
you are so lucky .. would give anything for having seen him on stage , I think some people should never die !
The best comedian ive ever heardm
Dave Allen is one of the best.
Wish Dave Allen was still here.
I agree, he’s the best comic ever.
Love it when he has a rant.
@michaelkingsfordgrey. Why are you so obsessed by usernames? Have seen you have a go about it more than once. Not everyone is comfortable laying their lives out for the world to see and dig into
Such a comedy genius, with timeless humour. Still so funny in 2020.
Never missed a show. Absolute genius.
This is Marvellous! And in such Pristine quality🥂🎉👌🎩. Thank you🙏.
Why can't we find comedians like this today?
PC brigade won't like it
Because we are not allowed to say and laugh at real life anymore !!
Timeless 👌 great delivery and story teller !
Political Correctness.
It may be that it may not be but I was thinking more of his style, the cigar, the whisky and his delivery
Comedians who say it straight and how it is and comically are always the best. As is Dave Allen 👏✌️🤘
I completely forgot how funny this guy was from when I was younger, until I saw this video. What a great comic he was.
Good old Dave Allen best stand up comedian of all time!,hope all these programes are released on DVD!

Loved Dave, born May 23rd 1968 from northern Ireland UK,,
He was from firhouse dublin
Love this guy the first time hearing him...
One of the best comedians/stand up comedians ever...
Utterly brilliant, timeless and still relevant!
Dave Allen - unparalleled,
He was the funniest guy ever
and totally unique.Wish he was still here 💔
A truly great talent
I know it’s old but it’s also timeless like Dave.......”Give a man a gun and he can rob a bank, give a man a bank and he can rob the world “.

@@iriscollins7583 good on you Iris. Remain independent, and all the best. 👍
The BRILLIANT❤️ Dave Allen❤️ A TRUE GENIUS AND A LEGEND! So missed!!!!❤️
Wish we had a new Dave Allen . Irreplaceable
Always appreciated Dave's humour ... original stuff
Dave Allen the best stand up comedian of all time..
Chaosflower You’re talking rubbish
Totally agree
ChaosFlower Gervais I saw live was so boring
George Carlin! If you don't think George is one of the best you've probably never seen him!
A matter of taste. Dave was certainly in a class all his own.
That’s one of the best anecdotes from the comedic legend that is Dave Allen!
A Real Tonic when needed ❤
Absolutely great comedian great delivery great timing peerless
One of the greatest comics of all time
Absolutely brilliant ! Choking on my coffee !
Each comment so true and still relevant to todays life
I haven’t seen him for years but his humour is timeless. Such joy!
"there should be a queue for foreigners" OMG can't get enough of this !
God I'd love to see Dave Allen on Brexit! He's just one of the greatest.
J Air life in general what would he make of the world today
He’d still be talking about it and still be alive
He IS the greatest.
@Adrian Fietsam f@#k off scammer you and your fake friend
@Zayne Pierce fake friend scammer go f yourself
greatest stand up comedian in material universe
A unique comedian, no one has being able to equal him. Very much missed!

Wonderful comedian, I have enjoyed his talent for over 40 yrsc
Great humour never loses its relevance.
Not PC now adays but a great man love watching him
Oh God, please give him back to us!
So great,
😂 funny and truthful God bless you Dave Allen 💋
He is a comic genius and is my favourite
"there should be queues for people who know nothing about anything " OMG what a genius !
MARYSE PRADET hilarious
@@markdavidson9100 an absolute delight, I spent to long without watching him, thanks to the person or post that made me think to him again
because NOTHING is better than a good laugh !
Trouble is they are that stupid they don’t know they don’t know anything.
Gosh, I miss him. I was a regular viewer of his show.
Dave Allen is my GOD !
Love Dave Allen! Wish he was still around to tell us his thoughts on social media!
Love him so hilarious
His humer is always with us.
Even in 2021
The bit about old people is so true, on so many levels.
They've been in a queue, and now it's their turn... to socialise.
I was once told by a bank teller that I could do all the transactions I required at their automated bank machines.
I replied “I’d sooner come to you guys and keep you all in a job.”
She had no reply to that.
I’ve done the same for years and always wondered how they don’t see what they’re doing, sad really.
Its the when i petrol, I never pay at the pump.
@@secondchance6603 Most of them do, but they’re forced to hit targets for transfers to online etc for so many accounts a day or they get bad performance reviews, and booted out the door. So they’re in a lose lose situation. (Mum is a bank teller)
Truth personified in humour ( incredible how true This àctually Is )
This guy will always be one of the best, him and Mr Dorson I sadly miss.
Can you imagine Dave laying into our banks today LOL........
He was a pleasure to be in front of the television with.
Just love it,thks.
This was 15 years BEFORE the financial crash. Talk about prescient.
Nope Just observant and knows how people operate very street smart.
Awesomely brilliant 👏 👌 👍
"There should be a queue for people who know nothing about anything" priceless
Absolute genius. Nearly choked laughing years ago, and still do. Never be anyone like him, mores the pity, missed very much!!!!!
yes I particularly love this one too !
Brilliant!
Nobody could match him then or now, he was brilliant. To watch the so called comedians on TV now trying to get laughs is painful and a waste of time.
What a comedian 👍
I like how he can just keep going with the story, just like Billy Connolly. Pure genius!
Comic genius brilliant timing
Ever lasting jenious.
We feel blessed in your company.
Brilliant and a great observer of the human race.
...and today (2022) you're lucky to find a bank on your High Street.
"Borrow some money, borrow some money." Next stop credit crunch and the bankers are still laughing all the way to the bank.
mizofan so don’t borrow it - moron
@@tims5129 I didn't, and i've not had a credit card. But in the 80s i did foresee mass obesity in UK- debt and consumption culture encouraged by government and the greedy capitalist system. Did you know that moron means carrot in Welsh?
"Piss off " just kills me LOL.
Just watching to cheer myself up and it worked
Never be another one! Loved this guy
a stool, an audience, a mic and a glass of whiskey. That’s all it takes to be an entertainer - if you’re a comedy god
You are the best person to make me laugh 😂 I love 😍 your way in the world And you are Wright in all you do I'm from Ireland 🇮🇪 and I love your work mate and my name is teresa bullman so you keep it up 👆
Amazing!
Mark Twain famously said: A banker is a man who will loan you an umbrella when the Sun is shining -- and ask for it back when it rains... 😂
Funniest guy ever. Loved Dave Allen.
Now we have Banksters!
"Is your fly open?" Hilarious
God bless him! At least he went before online banking came in!
I used to watch Dave Allen on T V he's very clever and gee whiz we all laughed and had tears rolling down our faces and you had to be clever because his jokes were so smart they could be taken different ways gee now you have left us sometimes I think you are telling god some of your jokes and that's why we are getting alot of thunder as god must of fallen off his chair from laughing at your jokes cheers Dave Allen xxxooo
The legend that is Dave Allan so so funny
The greatest.
Incredibly intelligent comedian
Whenever i feel the world is moving too fast, i go to the post office.
Hahaha too funny
How times change..... Dave Allen wouldn't have a problem with bank queues these days as there are no longer any banks on the high street - all gone now.
ATMs are going the same way 🙄
Not in the Caribbean atleast.
Years ago I learned to pick a line and stick with it.
If you change from one to another too many times,
you'll fuck them all up.
Genius
i love his curse words...no other comedian speaks like that. different from the vulgarity of american comedians...this is so funny the way he says it...
Wonder what he would of made of Online banking
So so strange to watch this, remembering actual high street banks.....it's not 'funny' it's kind of iconic, historic, poignancy. x
Had his Eyes Wide Open, Not “woke”.
Shit, he would have fun with that batshit!
Is there ANYTHING he ever said that wasnt TRUE?
Bless You Dave Allen...
And still we live our lives according to these Cretins - Post Office/Banks etc etc
"I'd like to see the bank manager". Good luck with that nowadays. Your bank manager is now an app.
A comedian before political correctness
Much more swearing as he got older but it was in the taste of the jokes . We are lacking these type of comedians with timing
Methinks he was speaking the lingo of they day.
Otherwise, not relevant.
Billy Connelly, anyone?
Fuck the fucking fukker Fred,
The fucking fucker’s fucked!
That is such a versatile word;
However, not a lot of that stuff
Relies on story telling:
Assumption that non literate persons
Get It. Hmmmm.
Sameness breeds contempt, and utter boredom after a time.
Nothing to create storied images,
Only individual’s experiences, yet again.
Bit like a Big Mac, you know what you are going to get.
No MAGIC!
He was spot on about banks not wanting customers in their branches. And that was before the internet/smart phones.
What he says at 7:25.....God, that had me laughing so hard.....Brilliant. Timeless.
Genius, is a word far too OFTEN used, these days, however, may I write, Dave Allen was a GENIUS of thee Highest standards..... Brilliant!!! GJ ldn
