Barry Humphries was a comedy genius. Erudite, very intelligent and gifted. His lightning-fast comebacks and gift for satire remain un-matched. I will miss him always.
Barry, they screeched and cancelled you.. they spat on your name and legacy. But we are all here supporting you. We all love you and always will... The screech will fade soon but your beauty will live on. Thanks dame and mate.
“The ability to laugh at the misfortunes of others has kept me happy all my life.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 “A chat show is a monologue interrupted by strangers.” 😂😂 😂😂😂
Dame Edna, of course, always shines, but what absolutely makes this particular interview for me is the crew's laughter in the background. That's how good she was. She could make EVERYBODY laugh. What a hilarious woman. May she (and the great Barry Humphries) rest in peace.
3:03 "My view is this. The thing about a talk show is, that it's a monologue - interrupted by strangers". I just about fell off my chair laughing after that line. Even the studio crew burst into laughter. An era has ended with the passing of Barry Humphries.
What's crazy is he/she/Barry never lost an ounce of sharpness over the decades. One of the most underrated, cleverest, far-sighted performers in entertainment history.
He had the rare ability to take control of the interview and control any direction he wanted to take it in with his wit. He was a master of human physcology and would do his homework to weaken the interviewer. People just think he is funny but if you observe him closely he is a genius and on a higher intellectual level. The only person I have seen come close is Russel Brand. Watch his interview on morning Joe and how he controls it with wit and how the anchor woman quivers. Wit trumps brawn and looks everytime.
Poor Lorraine never had a chance. She was reduced to giggling helplessly while Dame Edna took over the whole show and insulted her several times to boot. Barry Humphreys was a true treasure.
Lorraine looked so nervous when the gynecologist subject was broached. I had a little chuckle at the naughtiness of the great Dame Edna. Thanks for the memories, from this proud Aussie.❤ 🐨😘🦘
Hilarious. And extra funny because Lorraine totally gets the jokes, and very generously let's Edna do her thing, so we enjoy it more. Warm, and really funny.
Absolute genius.. Barry played the character to perfection.. ❤ *RIP* to the legend who knew SO MANY celebrities. Was once convinced was a real woman when young & naive. Bless Dame Edna/Barry H..🔥🙏
RIP Dame Edna. Nobody in my life has made me laugh out loud like you did. Thoughts to Madge, Bruce, Kenny and Valmai. Now you can be with Norm. Just glad that awful slobbering Patterson bloke won't be at the funeral. Farewell possum.
aww takes me back to when I was younger, its such a shame when these people pass. Paul O’Grady was another recently. It is worse to imagine that soon David Attenborough will be gone, Del boy from only fools and horses and a massive number of just amazing and/or funny people. I dread to imagine the future of television and movies, I mean todays movies are just rubbish. These people we are losing, are what made the movie and series industries just amazing. Todays and up coming actors etc just have not got it.
I was unfamiliar with the comedian however I am aware of the technique she was using, she did a great job with that technique. I also won’t reveal the technique.
Dame Edna's humour goes WAAAY over this audience' head! I'm so sorry for the Dame. ..."The ability to laugh at the misfortune of others "....should have elicited uproarious laughter, and instead it was crickets! 😮
Your viewers may wonder why, but there is something about you that appeals to me....😂 Dame Edna roasted people in such a charming & direct way they don’t know it is happening 😅
Used to have me in tears of laughter. One of the greatest comedians and entertainers. RIP.
Barry Humphries was a comedy genius. Erudite, very intelligent and gifted. His lightning-fast comebacks and gift for satire remain un-matched. I will miss him always.
I could listen to Edna/Barry every day. Decades of laughter. Thank you. RIP

This is genius. When the crew is heard laughing you know it's good.
Coming here after the news. I already miss our Dame. 💔
All the legends are dying too soon and too close together 😢
Dame Edna was truly an icon , often very funny and an excellent counterpoise to the sometimes pomposity of celebrities and showbusiness in general .
Thanks for the many humorous times. RIP Dame Edna
“The ability to laugh at the misfortunes of others has kept me happy all my life.”

Shaking uncontrollably at the news this morning. First Paul now Dame Edna. Two bright lights have gone out. Rest in peace Dame Edna 😢
Paul who?
@@JustBeYouooh Paul O’Grady 😢 rip the two of them x
Shaking uncontrollably? Were you family?
@@LaPtiteAnglaise she was family to so many of us rip Dame Edna gbnf x
Barry is gone but Edna will always be alive ❤

Dame Edna completely took over the interview, and the segment was much better for it.
I’ve been bracing for the news. Didn’t want it to happen. Been missing Dame Edna for a while now. God bless the family.
What's crazy is he/she/Barry never lost an ounce of sharpness over the decades. One of the most underrated, cleverest, far-sighted performers in entertainment history.
Totally agree! I had the pleasure of seeing the Dame Edna On Broadway show about 20 years ago. It was THE funniest performance I have EVER seen.

"The ability to laugh at the misfortunes of others." Dame Edna, I have that one too!
Me too love it

Pure gold 😂
A very bright star has disappeared behind the clouds.The world is a sadder place than it was a few hours ago
Thank you Dame Edna and your alter egos Sir Les Patterson and that fella Barry may you now all sleep in peace.
"Steve tells me, that you've never made this mistake" - This is genius.
RIP Dame Edna
“Your puppies look marvellous” Lorraine))
Were the comments closed for 6 years?
I love her!
Barry was 89, what a great age!
Yeah and packed 3 lifetimes into that 89 years.
Dame Edna should of been the one promoting Bud Light, very funny.
Rest In Comedy - God Bless You
RiP Legend

It was a crime we lost Dame Edna - nobody like her...
I love Loraine's accent. Where is she from?

RIP DAME EDNA
Political correctness sucks. Thanks, Dame Edna (Mr. Humphries).
A Brazilian fan here.
💔dame edna
I miss her so much. 💔
THIS... Was a Gigastar
Omg a Koala isn’t a BEAR! I can’t believe Barry didn’t correct her
I was unfamiliar with the comedian however I am aware of the technique she was using, she did a great job with that technique. I also won’t reveal the technique.
Farewell, Possums
FYI a koala is not a bear it is a marsupial.
Dame Edna's humour goes WAAAY over this audience' head! I'm so sorry for the Dame. ..."The ability to laugh at the misfortune of others "....should have elicited uproarious laughter, and instead it was crickets! 😮
There is no audience on this show. The only laughter would have been from the crew.
There's no audience
There’s no audience….
Your viewers may wonder why, but there is something about you that appeals to me....😂 Dame Edna roasted people in such a charming & direct way they don’t know it is happening 😅
Not in my lounge room where I was watching. I really did laugh out loud.
❤😂🎉
Irrepressible, irreplaceable - Dame Edna
Joseph and today TV
Bye bye, possums 😢😭
Poor Lorraine he completely put her down
I think you meant to say… Poor Lorraine she completely put her down
@@charlenemack7040 No I was referring to Barry. Even if he dresses like a woman.
R.I.P. Dame Edna the world is mourning your loss.
Vape Dame Edna Everage ❤
This career- and life-long act was just Humphries mocking his mother . . . there’s something really sad about that 🤷♂️
He had to take over... lady was boring
Lorraine Kelly so twee and a sweety wife......how shes made it surprises me....bland, beige tv
