"They found me a better seat" I literally laughed out loud.
Same. Also gets funnier the more you think about it.
That was so funny
So very funny, didn't know what was coming, and laughed with tears streaming down my face, I still do.
me too and i loved the preface: "I'm sorry", since they royals would miss her company
I am also laughing at the simplicity of it. The Kings face was a picture and great Fun had by all. I have sent this clip to all my friends and family as I know it will put a smile on their faces.
Barry Humphries was a master of his craft. He will be truly missed.
What a legend, he will be missed by many, rest in peace Barry
I love that Dame Edna was so supportive of the Royal family.
Dame Edna humanised the Royals, she was their best PR rep! Comedy character legend 💜
So funny, will miss what a charictor that he was.
@言行一致 Yeah, just keep repeating yourself, you troll.
Absolutely fantastic, Our Dame Edna was a Golden Icon of Australian comedy. RIP Barry Humphries. We will never see your like again.
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Barry had that rare and wonderful ability to be wickedly irreverant without ever being disrespectful or mean-spirited. Its doubtful there will ever be another like him.
Your so right. A one in a million marvel of genius
Had you seen him live?. Memorable.
Well said!!
I was about to post the same thing, but you did it for me. He knew how to mock without offending; a rare talent. He had the comedy brains to mock people he liked, and so they knew it wasn't personal.
I agree.
He knew how to needle people without insulting.
The age of campy wit has passed.
I never saw Dame Edna live, but! I think of all the iconic moments I always recall was the "They found me a better seat!". It showed a totally relatable and more humorous side to Charles and Camilla to enjoy spur of the moment unexpected humour, not unlike that we witness with HM QE2 when she did the Paddington Bear clip. I always related to Barry Humpries "Dame Edna" clips far more than any of his other characters. A huge talent lost, RIP!.
The sweet Queen pulling a sandwich out of the royal handbag.....
A genius by any measure. Saw the great man a few times and remember every wonderful moment. Utterly irreplaceable!
Gladidola.
The truth is, the world is a sadder place without him.
He was that great.
RIP, dear possum... you made our lives quite lively!
Rip Barry. I got to see Dame Edna live once. Was very very happy. And sore from laughing so hard. You brought so much joy to us possums. You have gone to make heaven a cheerier place and you mean that in the best possible way. God could use a good ribbing.
That is EXACTLY correct. I saw Dame Edna live in Chicago once and my rib cage and lungs were actually sore from laughing so hard! NOBODY could make me laugh like Barry. SUCH A LOSS!! What a gifted comic genius! Very sad when I heard this news.
Barry Humphries has fans all over the Globe. He is a big loss, but like many other geniuses, his legacy will go on for ever.
Rest in Peace Mr. Barry Humphries. Thank you for bringing joy to the world through Dame Edna!
Miss him already. I have been catching up with bits I missed. ❤️
In the late 1970s I was living in Hong Kong. Dame Edna opened a Christmas fete and her beady eyes spotted me holding a rather peculiar pair of ornaments I had bought. "Oh Possum" she trilled " For me? How kind of you, just what I need for Madge's Christmas present......she has no taste either" . After that I rather lost track of the one sided conversation because I was almost helpless with laughter. Wonderful man , he will be sorely missed.🏴🇬🇧
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face...
We Aussies are absolutely devastated by the passing of our great Dame Edna. We will forever miss this wonderful star and enigmatic comedian. Bless you and rest in peace Barry.
We loved him here too, in the UK.❤
How can anyone not adore Dame Edna? 😂
His shows were a dime in a dozen. Miss his late humour
I don't .

@@davidbrown2098Huh? I don’t think you know what that phrase actually means.
He was simply brilliant! I've just watched this video and got tears with laughter. RIP Barry ✝️
Lost humour, mostly about himself. TV will not reproduce that humour again.

Thank you Barry for countless hours of irreverent humour you've given me All good clean fun.
What put a smile on my face all day was Charlie and Millie in stitches!
I met Barry Humphries last April, after his stage show. He was kind & a joy. I was lucky then & even luckier now.
Fond memories of "Dame Edna's Bristol show" Many years ago, Mum & my late darling Dad. Were picked to go up on stage with Dame. Did a sketch & had me & all the audience in tears of laughter.
Fantastic memories⭐️
Rip Barry/ Les/ Dame Edna......❤

Amen to that !
Barry would give this a comment a Bravo.
'they've found me a better seat', genius.

A wonderful genius !!! Oh I especially remember a show, where Dame Edna also had that old grumpy woman as a helper 😂😂😂
think you mean Madge? those shows were hilarious
@@vallee3140 Yes her !!! :-D- I did watch some videos of the duo yesterday - LOVE when she was sent to peoples home to spy ;-) !
@@cfsKunckel Iv'e been reading about her in todays papers so funny
That is so lovely that King Charles was in contact with Barry before he died. ❤
Is it ? He was also in close contact with his friend Jimmy Saville.
King Charles died a long time ago.
@@thomasdonau5140 Could be as they all have clones .
@@thomasdonau5140 The present King Charles! Have you been living under a rock?? He’s in this picture!! 😳

Hello 👋 how are you doing?
I do love the Aussies sense of humour
Best films you make as well!
I recently discovered Dame Edna, interviewing K.D. Lang, Barry Humphrey was so funny, his character came through as a delightful person, and I watched everything I could find. I am here in the USA, but a fan forever!!❤ R.I.P.

Loved him as Dame Edna. Esp to see her make the King and Camilla laugh in the balcony! A true modern court jester!
Brilliant Edna. One of my favourites. I keep playing it. The great Australian irreverence shown to the world. A great Australian. Gave so much joy to people. We are all proud of you. RIP mate and thank you.
Bless you Barry Humphries/DameEdna/Les Patterson for the hours of fun and laughter you brought to us all! Very few people are as popular and loved as you were. Comedy genius! Rest in peace.

Barry Humphries as the Goblin King was certainly a highlight of The Hobbit.
Very nice entertainer. Loved a harmless bit of fun and was loved for it. A bit like Larry Grayson.
0:28 I love the look of genuine delight on, the then, Prince Charles' face when Humphries walks into the royal box.
and dispair when he left 😅
An absolute ‘ one off ‘ did his comedy so beautifully, without offence or vulgarity or bad language & will always be One of the best .. Rip Dame Edna & all the rest & you too Barry .
What an amazing person and personality.
Fabulous Fabulous Fabulous i loved his work and i met him when i was a young lad he was So gracious i asked for his autograph and he gave it me and thanked me for asking 🙏

ame two
@Kermit Idiothunter don't you have some live, laugh, love needlework to attend to?
He must have, look at what he chose to wed after he got divorced!
@@EarlJohn61I’m sorry you have such a sad life that you’re so jealous of a man and his soulmate getting married to each other and being happy together. After their horrendous previous marriages they deserve to be happy. Maybe one day you’ll find someone to make you a better person.
Saw Dame Edna years ago and have never laughed so much anywhere.
Oh I did love him❤
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face...

Lucky angels getting their fill of your grandest bits.
If the British Royal Family can laugh at Dame Edna making fun of them, I'm going to laugh with them too!

Barry Humphries was pure side splitting genius. He and the Dame will be hugely missed. What will we do without Dame Edna now

This dame is comedic royalty 🙏❤️
Absulute legend & very funny man. R.I.P Barry
Funny man! Always a wicked glint in his eye 😊
Barry Humphries and Paul O'Grady two great losses who brought laughter and joy to many
Definately true entertainer.
He had great respect for the monarchy and they of him, RIP our very own Aussie Royal.
How lovely to know that he and the family genuinely liked each other. He was an amazing talent.
A national treasure!💜💜💜
Loved Barry. The world lost one of its bright sparks.
Marvelous, a genius R I P
Had been to many shows. Very very funny. Sad to see his passing. I will miss his humour and witty nature. Family to him I am so sad to your loss. We will miss a great Aussie hero. ❤
A comical genius. Much missed.
❤❤❤ great artist. RIP
Barry was the best!! RIP ❤❤
Will never be another like Barry RIP
How could anyone NOT love the Dame! Saw her in concert in Perth once; LAUGHED TILL I CRIED!! 😂
That the King spoke to BH while he was in hospital tells you everything about the Kings character!
Rest with God Berry!!
It also tells you about Barry's.
Years ago KC favourite comedy was The Goons with Spike Milligan
Your king was best mates with Jimmy Saville. That tells you about the 'kings' character alright.
@@dessy76 Everyone was friends with Saville. That tells everything about HIS character
@@dessy76 nobody knew what an animal Saville was back then! Keep your uneducated hindsight comments to yourself!
Absolutely Brilliant RIP
Loved Dame Edna, one drag queen I would quite happily refer to as she. One of the best comedians ever.
The world is a darker place without Barry what a one off a true legend loved the world over and especially in the UK.
One of a kind❤
Delightful
Rest possum thank you for the laughter.
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face...
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I love the skit when “they have found me a better seat”. And how King Charles and Camilla took it in good grace and with humour.
If I could have an evenings pleasure of being in the company of a triumvirate of great raconteurs, my unhesitating choice would be Sir Peter Ustinov, Clive James, and Barry Humphries What a spellbinding evening that would be!! RIP all three gentlemen. 👍
He brought us joy. I remember that Dame Edna was on The Great Comic Relief Bake Off with Lulu and AbFab actresses Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders. Dame Edna said that the recipes weren’t well suited to wearing so many valuable rings but she dare not take them off because she didn’t trust anyone there! It was so funny. RIP
