Absolutely accurate. The first small, almost inconspicuous warning is easy to miss or take lightly. Don’t. You only have seconds before the eruption. You will begin to empty of everything you have ever eaten or thought about eating. Once it starts, it doesn’t stop until you are a walnut with lava burns where you never want to have lava burns. But cancer is much, much worse.
an when it comes to cancer an ounce of prevention is worth a planet sized amount of cure.
oh we found a few polyps in your last check up. few quick snips and some dissolving stitches ad you're fine.
But if you didn't take everybody's advice and get regular checks and those get worse. Now we have to pump radioactive acid and caustic venom into your bloodstream for the next 6 months.
Catch it early and the survival rate is quite high. Fail to catch it early, and the survival rate is much lower. Get checked. Play this clip if you feel stressed.
I have had 2 colonoscopies and the best thing I've found to cope with the burning asshole is Bag Balm. A liberal coating right after you take the laxative pills but before the diarrhea starts and then after every trip to the loo protects those tender tissues. Wonderful stuff.
@@bunnyslippers191 I have to go in soon... thanks for the advice.
@@bunnyslippers191 100% correct. Vermont's Original Bag Balm. A bit of that from time to time during the process and you no longer worry that your rear-end is going to morph into a Saturn V rocket motor.
“You have to put the toilet paper in the fridge”
That was delivered so well 😂
I'm almost in tears, I can't see the video, I have to listen 😆😆😆😆😆
DROPPED HIS TWEEDS
I took powders before a such examination I sat on the top step very close to toilet when I managed to get there it was like etna erupting and then some
Mr. Connolly missed his calling as a doctor. This is one of the most accurate descriptions of colonoscopy prep I've ever seen. Well played!
If laughter is the BEST medicine, he is a doctor!! Or one of the best chemists ever!
It's as if he was in my house when I did my prep!
Sir Billy Connolly.
He has a doctorate degree
@@SamuelBlack84 An honorary doctorate. His wife took six years to research her psychology PhD.
I never stopped laughing at the toilet description. It was so accurate. Here in the Waikato New Zealand, I too had to have a colonoscopy 3 years ago at the age of 84. The laxative was definitely the worst part, but I had to take it over two days. On the day I went to Waikato Hospital in Hamilton I was ushered into a cubicle with a team of 4 or 5 nurses, all female. I was placed on the bed on my side, my bare arse was prepared and the procedure began. I could watch my insides appear on a convenient wall. monitor. I felt no discomfort during the process. The team were so professional and did their very best to minimise any embarrassment. When it was all over I returned to retrieve my clothes. Whilst I was dressing, the Head Nurse entered and said, "Having to stick something up your bum, I think I deserve a hug." I duly complied and we both had a laugh. She made what could have been very traumatic, into something special. I am so grateful to that nurse and her team, so if they ever get to read this, THANK YOU SO MUCH, all of you. You are a credit to your profession and I will never forget your kindness to an old and very shy man. The upshot unfortunately was, that I was diagnosed Colon Cancer and had to go back into Hospital for a major operation. I have recovered well and 3 years later I'm still going strong,
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m glad everything worked out.
@@gamergeek7482 You're very welcome. Thank you.

I do this for a living. Its very important to be checked if you have a change in bowel habbit. Blood. Plus family history is more the case. No matter how healthy you eat, if its genetic you will get polyps. So get regular checks.
I was knocked out during mine....but I GOT PICTURES OF MY COLON! Lol. Great fun.

Here I am, recovering from a flu. And I'm watching this and I'm in tears from laughing. I needed this so bad.
@Onorato Campopiano - Truly hope the flu has left you forever Sir. Read Mr. West in comments.
Here I am, prepping for my colonoscopy tomorrow. And I'm watching this and I'm in tears from laughing. I needed this so bad.
That’s John Cleese
Me too💯👍
Laughter is good medicine 😂😂😂
This man can tell any story about the most mundane things and you’ll be howling with laughter!!! 😂😂😂
It’ll be at least a couple decades before I need to get one of these, yet here I am laughing harder than I have in months. My dad says Billy nailed it.
Having a colonoscopy performed tomorrow,July 20th 2022. Just started on the laxatives and it has already begun.Just had to watch this clip again to cheer myself up,brilliant.
So glad that I live in the time of UA-cam where I can watch Billy whenever I want.
"you have to put the toilet paper in the fridge" made me spit out my coffee at work.
😂🤣😂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼♥️
I had the privilege of seeing Billy live in 1987. It was a case of spending 2 hours trying to crawl back into your chair! This is the most awesome hysterically funny guy I have ever seen. All power to you Billy, wish you could have gone on for another 50 years
Oh holy sweet baby Jesus . Dear God in heaven . My husband who died two years ago this may please lord let him see this one he would so love it . Dear Billy I rolled off the couch and peed a little . Thank you so much .thank you .
I saw Billy in Southend in the seventies. My main memory is crying with laughter throughout. My secondary memory is the woman in the seat two along from me laughing so much she slid off her chair onto the floor.
I have my first colonoscopy tomorrow, may Billy watch over me and protect me.
Guess about now you're thinking maybe flowers? Chocolates?
I survived, I had an endoscopy at the same time so I got a general anesthetic.
Hope it went well. Absolute torture the prep..
I introduced the nurse to this skit, she laughed her ass off.
This clip should be required viewing prior to having a colonoscopy
I watched this years ago and got a good laugh. I just now came from my second hellacious visit to the loo and had to revisit this clip. This time I had to wipe away the tears. He’s not lying. Wish me luck, I’ve got a long night ahead of me.
Hi
Yep you can see day light and you feel as clean as a whistle and at one point you find yourself whistling from somewhere you didn't think was possible
😂
I was in hospital years ago waiting to hear if I was cancer free. Pretty nervous time in the waiting room. I saw a poster about colonoscopies on the wall and I immediately thought of Billy doing this routine. Made me feel much better before I was told everything was fine 🙂 Thanks Big Yin.
A natural talent for comedy. So hilarious
This has got to be one of the funniest skits I have ever seen. Well done, Billy.
I very nearly misread that…
@@theessentialguideforblokes7960
LMAO 😂😅😂😂
I've watched this numerous times, and each time, my stomach hurts from laughing. Never gets old. 😂
Omg he's so accurate..that powder you mix with water is like the stuff of nightmares..your arse is literally pissing 😳 Billy's rendition never ever fails to make me lmao 🤣🤣🤣
I've had two of them and am glad I didn't watch this beforehand. You cannot ever have a laughing fit when that stuff is inside you lololol.
I had colonoscopy and it was just like that. The nurse said 'Look at the screen! there's your appendix smiling at you' I had to say 'well at least SOMEONE'S having a good time'
He was lucky, he got tablets. The stuff I had was mixed with water and tasted vile!
@@TheGeezerMan that's what i had...it was disgusting! Tablets would have been so much better 🤣
The stuff is basically antifreeze, polypropylene glycol. It certainly does the job!
I think it's time the world realises that sir Billy Connolly is the funniest man on the planet full fucking stop
What a magnificent comic. Absolutely peerless. I don’t have much time for honours, but bloody hell this man deserved his knighthood.
am sat on loo after first litre of laxative,thank God for Billy
Tweeds to my knees. What a great turn of phrase.
I'm scheduled for my first colonoscopy next week. I remembered Billy's tale of drinking the water on holiday in Spain and thought I'd best get his take on colonoscopies just to be properly prepared. Such a lovely man! I just knew a version of "My arse was in taters!" would be coming up, it's too great a line not to use in conversation as often as possible.
My dad showed me Billy when I was 8 years old I’ve been addicted to comedy ever since. This man has literally changed the course of my life I love him for it and I wish him the best quality of life he can have with his ailments in his 80’s
Had my first colonoscopy as there is a history of colon cancer in my family. Well, the readers digest version, the results were good. But while in the recovery room, the nurse came in and asked if I had broke wind yet. I said no, as I was holding it in. She said that I was supposed to break wind to make sure everything was clear. I said she may want to leave in that case. I swear I could have shit through the eye of a needle on the first fart
This should be given to everyone to watch prior to a colonoscopy! Utterly brilliant description and a bloody good laugh to boot!
As I sit here laughing so hard at this video, I have just gotten out of the loo after 2.75 hours of spasmodic firehose squirts. My legs went numb. This is my first colonoscopy a year to the day after the previous colonoscopy where a very large mass was discovered. I had colon surgery 48 hours later, then 9 Rounds of Chemotherapy starting 6 weeks after surgery. I am still here, thanks be to God, recovering and now having a peek after surgery. It was great watching a video on my cell phone in the loo after taking bowel prep. I've never laughed so hard. What better way to make a yukkie process a little easier to handle? Everything Billy says is true however, his description is so spot on and better than anyone could possibly make up. Tomorrow is my big day and afterwards, no matter the outcome, I will reward myself with a nice bag of ice to my bum.
Gave me inspiration. Hope all went well. 🙏
OMG, damn near in tears laughing. As someone who's been through this on a number of occasions, I can fully attest to the joys of "prep". The procedure itself is a snap, especially after being clamped to the toilet for HOURS in advance.
If Billy isn't the funniest man on the planet, I've no idea who is ! Carlin is gone, but could seriously give him a run for his money! Thanks Billy, your awesome! Best of health Sir Bill!
@brianm.armstrong70. George Carlin was very good, but Billy is better. What's most impressive is that Billy doesn't have a script, whereas George Carlin was scripted to the eyeballs.
I just went through this last week. He's being kind.
I've had two of these now and they don't get any better, the laxative that is. Billy has described the "fallout" to a tee. Love ya Big Yin.
I'm an Endoscopy nurse for 24 yrs now . I've heard everyone's stories. And I've also had three myself. But its so true. The preparation is possessed. Very dehydrating. You have to run with your but cheeks squeezed together. Maybe nail towels onto the back walls.
@jeanmansfield9230 Hi, I have my first one scheduled for Monday. Could you please let me know how long the actual procedure typically lasts ?
Brings back memories 😂Wish I'd heard this sketch before having mine..... Might have been better prepared 😂😂
Good to hear - I'll be going through this in a couple weeks...
I have had those tablets. The description here is 100% accurate and hilarious.
Yep. I've had the powder soluble form. After hours of bombing my toilet I just fell on my bed exhausted...Woke up 2 hours later for another round. It pissed me off a bit, but I was actually lucky to have been awoken lol
Fun fact: he never prepared his shows. 50 years of comedy and it was all improvised. What a genius.
I can believe that. Half of that set were soundeffects that made the audience laugh uncontrollably for some goddamn reason.. I guess not every type of comedy is for everybody, so I'm glad other people enjoy it even if I don't.
I've seen him live and I didn't know that. Must really take some doing.
@@Treviscoe I've seen BC live many times, he never ceased to amaze me when I realised he was causing all that laughter without a script. In an interview he said he would have liked to have had a script, he just didn't know how to write one good enough for the stage.
I don’t think that’s true
@@SuperSeanobrien He gave many interviews stating that.
I've got one coming up this week. Billy, you're an educational godsend. Nearly shat myself laughing so I'm half way home!
I haven't laughed that hard in a long time! Tears filled my eyes as I laughed and i could barely see the screen... As a patient with UC... he speaks my truth! 😆 🤣 😂
Hi
Same! Diagnosed with UC at 28, I wish I had thought to put the toilet paper in the freezer before now 😅
This man is a wonder of optimism. A inspiration for all people around the world. He grows older with such grace. Love you BILLY
I’ve spent my working life as a qualified operating theatre nurse. This reminds me of the time when we were doing a colonoscopy list and I was was trying to find out where our patient was, the ward hadn’t seen him. So I called his home his wife said he should be with you any time now as he took the bus!!!!!! He lived 40 miles from the hospital!!! We all looked at one another waiting for someone to make a comment! We all knew how explosive the laxatives are! One thing we all knew the country buses didn’t have a toilet on them!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈 oh my god that poor man
Only medical people would understand your humor. Fortunately for me I spent 40 years as a nurse and I’m laughing at the visual created.
Back in '85 I landed in the hospital with food por. Before I was discharged they did a colonoscopy. Nobody told the nurse why I was there. That poor woman, when she went to insert that thing. Bruuuup! All over the place.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@DontCryAboutIt Coffee EVERYWHERE, thank you!!
1:11 "What you need is a good shit."
Wiser worlds have never been spoken with age.
Having had this experience personally, Billy's descripton was so amazingly accurate that I was laughing so hard I fell to the floor and went into the fetal position holding my sides to stop the pain. Brilliant!
Been watching Billy for almost 40 years. Just had my first “procedure “ six months ago. He’s spot on!
No one ever could beat Billy. All natural.
Look at the crowd. The dream of every stand up comedian.
This is so spot on, I crease up and, cry laughing everytime
Every time I see this clip he has me chuckling. Mind you, my dad had to do one himself years ago and I saw his prep stuff I went “whoa what the heck is all that for?” He went silent after that and we never talk of it since🤣🤣
Just the best in the business. I wish we could get all those incredible World Tour’s he did for BBC on things like iTunes. They were more than just comedy, they were treasures of Billy’s love for these places.
Thank you Billy for the perfect description of this procedure. My doctor brought your sketch up today whilst I was waiting for him to proceed!
You are one of the best descriptive story tellers in the world. Thank you for being you!
You have to be a certain age to fully get it!!! I fully get it!!!!
Billy must be the only comedian that leave you in tears talking about having a dump
I was given a concoction to mix with water and it amounted to 2 litres of the stuff. I actually took 4 days off from work as a sensible precaution. Thank God! After drinking this stuff that tasted like hospitable disinfectant, I said to my wife, "It'll probably take a couple of hours". I was wrong. Less than 5 minutes. Then it was exactly as you indicated. This went on for 3 days. At one stage, I figured there was no point in leaving the toilet,, but my legs fell asleep. When I got to the hospital for the procedure, I found my doctor (an old Sth African guy) was replaced with a hot Brazilian woman with a lovely smile. I couldn't have given a shit. I'd already given more than my share. Embarrassment gave way to resignation. I'm now 5 years overdue for my follow up colonoscopy. I'll leave that to braver men.
Please do the follow up. I have had cancer.... please do it
I experienced all of that and more, after taking the strong laxatives prior to my colonoscopy
However, l didn't mind all of that discomfort...when l weighed myself after the procedure, and found l had lost 14 pounds..!!
😀😃😄😁🙂
I’m doing one tomorrow 2nd in 5 years and this time was much easier. I did 4 tablets of Dulcolax, then an entire 8,3oz bottle of Miralax powder mixed in 64 oz of Lemon/lime Gatorade, then 10oz of Magnesium Citrate. It was so much gentler than the first time.
@@Harry-kh1pv
Simple words ‘Please Do’ ….definitely 🙏🏼 A1 advice, Harry !
I.sympathasise..been..rhere..
All jokes aside! This man is telling absolutely the truth!
Experienced the prep for the first time last night. Did not have the hose experience, thankfully but did have the oily discharge. Very funny stuff.
You leave your dignity at the reception desk 😂
Just like the time I was in hospital wearing nothing but an open gown and black boots 😅
I'm supposed to schedule my first, and I am looking forward to it even LESS after watching this play by play.
What a legend this man is!! 😂😂
True story. I've had two of these. I'm cracking up because I can relate. And...because doc says I won't need another one.
Genius! Absolute genius
Wait your doctor actually waited until 50 before he became interested behind you. I was mid 30s my first time. Now Im nearly 50 and its every time now. Dosent matter why i go, could be an eyeball hanging out but lets get that prostate a full on examination. Ive been a fan of Billy Connolly since I was about 13 or 14. Its a very rare talent to be such an accomplished teller of storys and to to hold such a captive audience attention for the entire show and over so many decades the whole time never losing that edge. Thats why he will always be the best stand up comic/peformer/singer song writer/actor/TV presenter and one of my childhood heroes. One of my favourite stories are the two gaurds at the kyber pass getting stoned. they are about to meet the Scottish regiments of the British army marching into India. Classic Connolly
My doctor commented on my "very tight sphincter". I told him it was my first time.
Seen Billy for the first time about 1973, what a legend , a great ambassador for Scotland and all Celts ..
Laughed until I cried....
Got a hiccup laughing so hard at this, my chest hurts 😂
Billy gives me happiness only he can provide
My favorite comment about Billy Connrlly was from David Tenant whose Dad gasp! was the moderator of the Chuch of Soctland (forgive me re spellling lost my glasses) ... life long fan of BC and arriving home David's Dad swore for the 1st time in his life. Definitely one of my favorite stories.
Doing a prep now watching this for like the 10th time
I havenlsughrd so hard in years! Tears were coming out of my eyes! Hilarious!
Think about it..who could do this better than this man..anyone else would only appear crude with a capital C..🇨🇦
I first saw Billy at a Folk Club in Bounds Green, north London. He was singing with Jerry Raffety in a great group called the tHumble bums, and he told jokes then between songs.
I haven't been there yet but now I know what to expect.
Tears! I was in TEARS!
Billy has got me through some bad times so thank you Billy for the laughs
My mum and I laugh so hard at Billy Connolly we barely get to the toilet in time as we wet ourselves roaring and crying at the same time
Well, I had my colonscopy yesterday…. It was an absolute breeze! Yes, the drugs help! 👍🏻😃 but the days before, the “low residue diet”:😵💫😵💫 on the Wednesday and the one slice of bread before 1.00pm on Thursday and nothing to eat after….then at 5.00pm the “drinking” of the Moviprep 😫😫😫😫I mixed it up as directed and being ignorant of the solution took a gulp and gagged it up as it was just vile! 🤢🤢😪 I was supposed to drink the first litre at 5.00 and the second at 8.00pm - I was still trying to stomach the first litre at 8.30!! I set my status 5 sips of laxative and a swig of Lucozade….. I completed the second litre and spent an entire 6 hours on the loo - and it’s exactly as Billy described 😂 but glad to have “done it” and got “good results”
If I wanted to, then I could watch this guy for hours and not smile once.
Every word is true, and even then it's a holiday compared to the colonoscopy itself.
Mmmm Citromag. Please tell me they knock you out for it?.
Tears are running down my face right now I'm laughing so hard!
I love his accent. It makes everything more funny. 😂🤣🤣😂
This never gets old I love this guy! I wish there’s was more comedians like Billy Connolly.
The ultimate story teller!. On ya Biĺly!. Nuff said. 🤣
Man I needed that... Thanks Billy
Lol. My friend sent me this video. I had one done yesterday. Yup, 3 pills. Then later, you must drink 1 liter of fluid 2 times, hours apart. That is the final purging. Billy's description is hilarious.
This was hysterical. So descriptive. So funny.
I’ve had to get a colonoscopy every 2 years since I was 28 and when I tell you that I am so grateful for him giving me the idea to put the toilet paper in the freezer, you best believe I’m going to do it.
I remember my dad sending me this video years ago when he had to do a prep, it wasn't anywhere on UA-cam, he emailed a link to Dailymotion or something. Glad to see this great sketch brought back. Dad asked if I wanted a copy of the video when he went in, I declined, haha.
This had me in tears, what a fucking legend
I haven't laughed this hard in years 😂
“I’d hardly got the tweeds you my knees.”
Poetry
*to
Too funny
I remember the first time I saw this man. It was when he was acting on Head of the Class. "Good morning, Geniuses!". He made me hope I would get at least one teacher as awesome when I grew up.
I know a guy who had the strong stuff, he was advised drink plenty of fluids 10 minutes before and immediately after.
After that? A tiny wee sachet? Pfft that'll be right.
Well he took it and assumed a good 15-20 minute "gap", he was wrong, within 2 minutes he felt motions and another few minutes he felt waves and churning and assumed the worst and headed upstairs, he hadn't reached the toilet and as Billy described had barely sat down when a torrent was created and from then on he only ever took it with great care and forward planning.
He told me he would take it in the bathroom and just wait for it's effect as there was no time between "Oh I need to go" and "Oh no it's too late".
Having had this procedure at the young age of 32, the description of the prep is pretty spot on. One of the worst experiences I've ever had the misfortune to endure.
The funniest comedian to walk the stage. Love Billy.
I damn near died for lack of breath on this one
Colonoscopy tomorrow here. Obviously watching Billy for his blessing.
It was the camera crew and director going up as well that got me !!!!!!
Just had this procedure, got a really funny look from the nurse when I asked if they now used something smaller than a Kodak brownie.
LOL
I've had 2 colonoscopies and for the first time Billy Connolly's fantastic description made me laugh so much the tears were rolling down my eyes, brilliant!!
