@@JeffGoldblum2024 "Overlooked" and "Underrated" are now code for "Too young to know." A song that sold 10 million copies is somehow "underrated: because they just heard it. It's a topic Billy would have had a lot of fun with.
Ive loved billy from the days he played at a folk centre in John st glasgow till today , hes just our billy and loved by most in glasgow ,we're so proud of him .
@@nedkelly5866I just watched “don’t drink the water in Ibiza” for the first time, tears were streaming down my cheeks by the time the fourth fart ran down behind his knees, and I don’t know how I survived the rest of the sketch.
Billy was and still ist the most influential Person in my Career. If he only knew, how much he made Germany laugh...although he probably wouldn't give a f**k.
@@Roheryn100 Harry is hardly what I would call a current comedian(what's a currant comedian). He's been going for many, many years. Now at 63 he concentrates on acting. He specialised in sketches for TV. Cruel, nah!
A lot of people think, and rightly so, that screaming (especially when it comes to the punchline) is a cheap way to get laughs. But the way Billy does it is fucking brilliant. He's my favourite stand up comedian of all time. I love seeing him laugh at his own jokes and just have a good time.
Billy you crack me up. The best video I’ve seen of yours was the airplane one. You talked about still being able to smell the glue. It’s your best comedy.
If you had a list of the top 10 most venomous creatures, the Stonefish would be on that list. Speaking of the worst pain known to man, many people call stingrays, the "wish you were dead fish" for obvious reasons. Apparently the pain can last days, weeks and sometimes months. No pain relief other than hot water, very hot water. Step on a stingray and you'll be thinking of nothing else but the pain for a long time. Step on a Stonefish and you'll be extremely lucky if you survive to worry about the pain. Everyone in Australia knows what a Stonefish is. ✌️🇦🇺
I've never knew Stonefish to be a killer.. plenty of warnings about the Portuguese Man o' War and whatnot.. guess the spotlight has shifted.. the stonefish has us right where he wants us..
@@evanb8495 The funny thing about those two animals is, that Portuguese man of War are usually considered nothing more than a nuisance in Australia. We call them "blue bottles", and unless you have some form of anaphylactic reaction to being stung, they aren't a deadly creature at all. Stonefish are potentially deadly, but a sting is incredibly rare that they're not thought of as much of a threat/problem.
Please upload more on this channel again. Since none of Billy's material is available to buy digital anywhere, this channel has been an excellent source.
Never put my foot in a hot coal fire for hours but have stepped on a stone fish! Would not be at all surprised if the hot coal fire hurt less! The pain is impossible to describe, the weird thing is almost boiling water can kill the pain!
Remember watching all his dvds, tail end of academy 2003/4, just remembered this joke tonight and remember the time i was walking through town (aberdeen) seen him and rather than act cool, ask for an autograph, or any other sane response, pointed and shouted billy connolly, never been more embarrassed
Gawd I love Billy. I've watched all his stuff so many times. 💕 I think passing kidney stones are my worst pain known to humans... and I had a 30 hour natural force labour with my 2nd lol. But a bad/rotten tooth is also excruciatingly painful. I've had broken toes. Which was nothing. All my body piercings or tattoos were nothing near kidney stones!! Women's body's are made for childbirth. Not stone passing!
"How was it?" "Worst fucking pain known to man." *takes notes* This little bit has been engraved in my head for years and still makes me laugh so damn much. Thanks Billy!
It is the worst paid but I've had similar where it's 10 out of 10 and then you scream for help but if you live on your own you keep your mouth shut and just ask for pain killers:-)
I don't know if the stone fish was included but there was a book that listed and rated the worst stings/bites. There were things like bullet ants and tarantula hawks in it. Anyway, it was written by a guy who went out and got stung or bitten by all these things on purpose and the wrote a review of what it felt like. I think he was called Schmidt? So Billy is closer than he realises
Justin Schmitt. He did the Schmitt pain scale. Coyote peterson did a modified version of it back in 2015 in his book the king of sting. Great read and his youtube channel "brave wilderness" is an awesome and educational watch.

🇬🇧 I remember when id first arrived in Australia with my parents when i was about 12yrs We lived right on the beach area of a place called Dolls Point in Botany Bay, NSW. One early evening my parents were walking along the cooler beach for some air & i was jumping about, running in & out of the surf etc. When i spied a beach ball, sandy coloured lying amongst the beached seaweed & shells so i ran full pelt up to this " ball " & kicked it as hard as i could. Now, it took a moment to register the sting like someone sticking a darning needle in my big toe. But, undaunted i went to look at this "ball" id kicked. As the second before my toes hit it i noticed these spikes, all over its surface. Up the beach i found it. Unbeknownst to me it was a dead Puffer fish that had swollen into this beach ball size. My parents & i looked at it & while my toe hurt & was bleeding It wasnt bad. Later at home, my toe did swell up but not excessively so. My mum cleaned it & put on her own family recipe Cure All salve & a bandage. Just one day off school because i couldnt get my shoe on. Then the day after when i got in from school my mum was panicking as some neighbour had told her the Puffer Fish - dead & swollen is very toxic or poisonous & she wanted me to go to the doctors. However i was fine, toe still abit tender & i thought this Puffer fish info was wrong But many years later i found out it was right! Yet despite kicking this thing with bare feet.. i wasnt affected Maybe it was drained of toxins or dead too long Buggered if i know, but i was fine & not huge pain yet my in my toe Was a hole that bled alot so the spikes did prick me! Odd. Peace 🇬🇧👧
I absolutely love and adore everything does however even though his comedy is so incredibly hilarious I still hold his "celebrity survivor"episode as #1.
This speaks to me right now, well always has. Recent news of sharks and all the stories on ytube past and present. I'm not making light of it, but I still venture in the sea now and again but Im ultra aware , and thats in the UK. I've been stung by jellyfish, stood on some spikey fish in Cornwall, had an Adder leap onto a coast path in front of me, was eyeballed by a Comerant that swooped under my legs and popped up right in front of my face, whilst swimming, within my depth, in Catalonia. Freaked out and when a spider appeared on my husbands shoulder when he was tucking into his breakfast. Things that bite, creep, scuttle, sting and spook, but Austrailia seems to be on another level, yikes.
@@irbennett Lol, there is some truth in that. But maybe its something in our DNA, depending on what we believe. Our evolutionary ancestors hailed from the waters. There might be a message there, stay on land🤣
A mate of mine found himself in a marine biology center in the Whitsundays a few years back. He was told about stone fish, and how if you step on one the only way to save your life is to have the limb amputated immediately. "Wow! Really?" "Oh, don't worry...the pain's so bad you'll want them to do it." We also have a small shrub called the Gympie Gympie. Touching it hurts so much you'll neck yourself before help can arrive.
I spent an hour an a half with Billy , smoking, chatting , Hugging,…really talking like as if I’ve was just a stranger I met and was making friends with, oh what a beautiful hour and a half of my life, he went on the phone to my family, bla bla bla I could go on and on but I say all that to say…when he eventually left and I was left standing there scratching my head wondering am I dreaming, and I went home, I was lying in bed so grateful and delighted with my encounter- and then it dawned on me- SHIT!!!!!! I never picked up/ kept Billys cigar Stubbs 😬😬😬😬😬
I picked up a stone fish when I was a kid, the toxin prevents clotting, I dripped blood from tiny wounds in my hand for 5 hours until I got to a hospital. It wasn't as bad as calf cramps. The worst pain known to man is the irukanji jellyfish. The medics diagnose a sting with a symptom called "sense of impending doom" that gives you an idea of the type of venom.
I love how the pain was so excruciatingly intense that the simpleton who could only mutter gibberish suddenly could let out an extremely coherrent "FUUUUUUCKKKK!!!!!!!!!" and a crystal clear "WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKKKK!!!!!". LMFAO!!!
There's a top tier for comedy, and for me, it's almost always the story telling comedian. There's exceptions like Rckles and Dangerfield but almost always the storyteller. Billy is in that top tier. His ability to read the audience and always lead them around to where the punchline hits hardest is genius. Pryor had it, Chapelle and Rock and White have it. Billy is on the same level. Billy, you King of Scotland you.
Are we just going to ignore how amazing that underwater voice acting was?
Priceless 🤣🤣
The man is brilliant 😅😅😅😅
I was thinking the same thing wondering if he practiced it or if it just comes naturally
Was just thinking same!!!Brilliant!Wow!❤
Outright legend, the best ever
Sir Billy Connolly, one in a million comedians.. no one will ever fill his shoes.
Other than his cobbler, but he's just putting some fabric in there.
His banana shoes!
should be easy if there are a million
As Billy says, "Before you judge a man walk a mile in his shoes. After that who cares? He's a mile away and you've got his shoes."
Stonefish might 😂

🇬🇧 I remember when id first arrived in Australia with my parents when i was about 12yrs
We lived right on the beach area of a place called Dolls Point in Botany Bay, NSW.
One early evening my parents were walking along the cooler beach for some air & i was jumping about, running in & out of the surf etc.
When i spied a beach ball, sandy coloured lying amongst the beached seaweed & shells so i ran full pelt up to this " ball " & kicked it as hard as i could.
Now, it took a moment to register the sting like someone sticking a darning needle in my big toe.
But, undaunted i went to look at this "ball" id kicked.
As the second before my toes hit it i noticed these spikes, all over its surface.
Up the beach i found it.
Unbeknownst to me it was a dead Puffer fish that had swollen into this beach ball size.
My parents & i looked at it & while my toe hurt & was bleeding
It wasnt bad.
Later at home, my toe did swell up but not excessively so.
My mum cleaned it & put on her own family recipe Cure All salve & a bandage.
Just one day off school because i couldnt get my shoe on.
Then the day after when i got in from school my mum was panicking as some neighbour had told her the Puffer Fish - dead & swollen is very toxic or poisonous
& she wanted me to go to the doctors.
However i was fine, toe still abit tender & i thought this Puffer fish info was wrong
But many years later i found out it was right!
Yet despite kicking this thing with bare feet.. i wasnt affected
Maybe it was drained of toxins or dead too long
Buggered if i know, but i was fine
& not huge pain yet my in my toe
Was a hole that bled alot so the spikes did prick me!
Odd.
