Just GENIUS. A true comic - timing, content, spontanaety, stage presence, control, spotlessly rehearsed, instant audience engagement, totally relatable. We wont see his like again Respect and god bless
We are a poorer people now that you have left us to begin your next step on your spiritual journey. I will miss you, more than words can ever be expressed.
Yeah, John I agree... Barry did give us many laughs..... (When it was legal to do so.) No doubt the whingers and moaners will be out celebrating his demise.... The sad thing is... they have no idea what they are celebrating...because they have nothing but bitterness and acrimony in their arsenal. The weird thing is... they loved Lily Savage... but hated the characters of Barry Humphries. I thought both were brilliant at what they did: Where's the problem? Where is the tolerance?
I think what makes this man a comedic genius is his timing and delivery. No-one else could do those jokes like he does. Also a shame we are so woke now that you would get arrested if you used his turn of phrase. Can’t remember when I last heard the word poofter. UA-cam doesn’t even recognise the word.
@@staticcentrehalf7166 I am all for thoughtfulness and tolerance, especially when it comes to religion, race and identity, but I do worry that we will end up constantly walking on egg shells and anyone who dares to transgress will be burnt at the stake. Most adult humour is at the expense of someone or something else. I don't know where the line is or should be, but I found the interview very funny. Does that make me a bad person? No, I don't think so.
Walking on eggshells is right! Afraid to open your mouth nowadays?? Is there no such thing as FUN anymore 😂 I always thought he was hilarious 😂😂 😂😂 and Christ....do we need a laugh?😂
I'm actually drinking my tears with laughter. When freedom of speech was attacked, it was like trying to wash your feet with socks on. This man was a true professional, nothing personal about his intentions.
Fortunately, Sir Les obviously sobered up for this public appearance. When he had a few drinks on-board he could be rather indelicate and, sometimes, even politically-incorrect.
I agree...I find his humour in the kind of realm of Peter Cook... An early observational humour: Say what you see: Take the piss out of it! See people through a different eye. And point out those differences to a slightly befuddled world....
Couldn’t be done today with the woke left being offended by everything and nothing, I misscharacters like this on the telly. RIP Les Patterson aka Barry humphries
Man, Why did you take my upload and make it your own? I down own this vid and neither do you. But I did do the transfer from VHS myself, to share with the world. (Same goes for the second part of this interview!)

We wont see his like again
Respect and god bless
I agree. Dangerously hilarious.
Why do we have to say goodbye 😢 .......... I loved Sir Les more than any of his other characters, I’ve seen this 50 times and still laugh....
We are a poorer people now that you have left us to begin your next step on your spiritual journey. I will miss you, more than words can ever be expressed.
RIP...such comedic timing. Genius.
A comedy Legend who produced 2 great characters Sir Les Patterson and Dame Edna Everage !
never see his like again. legend.
Quick application! Just brilliant! Bloody successful! RIP Barry.

Bahahahahaha.
Shirt lifters.
As a comic, Humphries is the GOAT. RIP
When comedy was true to itself
"Well she flashed the map of Tasmania..." - is genius....just leaving enough for us to join the dots to get the joke.
Absolute classic 😂😂
Love the point where Les sees Michael wondering what is on his hands :D That was so funny!
Love this ..such a great comedian..very clever
Timeless humour Ladies and Gentlemen.
Poor old Parky didn’t need to be there. Les and Edna, fantastic.
He made a good straight man. A very underrated skill.
I'd say Steve Coogan saw an early Alan Partridge character embryo emerging here. Hats off to Mr Humpries
Or Keith Lemon
No comedian could get away with this today - We live in a new puritan time
It's just a more thoughtful and tolerant time. You should be grateful.

Barry himself called it “new Puritanism” and he was certainly correct. People have forgotten how laughing at things takes it’s power away.
Utterly superb
Comedy genius.
The belching 😂😂😂
eat your heart out Borat .... Sir Les led the way
Bloody brilliant
RIP Parkie and Sir Les! Just noticed parkie you were on the Wings album cover. Thanks for doing what you did back then.
...a genius of his time.
For all time!
Love him so much ❤️

Legend
Classic stuff. 😀
"I'm supposed to use an applicator"
Talk about stick it to the woke mob he was a sledgehammer wish he was still around he would have a field day .😅😅😅😅😅😅🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻👊💥💥💥💥
"The poofter element - the pooferi, as I call them". he could have been describing Starmer's Labour party 40 years before the event.
Fortunately, Sir Les obviously sobered up for this public appearance. When he had a few drinks on-board he could be rather indelicate and, sometimes, even politically-incorrect.
If sir les were alive today he'd be hammered.
He was always hammered!
Brilliant.
Can you imagine Barry getting away with this these days.
Impossible, he died last week.
Don't think so Geoff
He was one of two favorite Aussie, non politically correct, larrikins... the other bloke is Kevin Bloody Wilson....
RIP Barry/Les/Edna/Sandy
Absolute comic genius..🤓

Priceless 😂😂😂
You with me?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
Les Patterson has been known to have a little extra padding in about his inseam if you follow me...well it's half past 6 pm anyways 😉 no worries
"......the poofia......" lol
Phenomenal 😂😂
The new puritans need a course in the classics.,Bily Cornelly, Joan Rivers,Two Ronnie's etc to see what they are missing out on.
Amazing how stereotypes seems to surface as being credible, sometimes.
He would definitely been Arrested now by the Woke Police 😮
Read Humphries and Dada ism.
Les is a dead ringer for my uncle.
That thing is intimidating ..
Couldn’t be done today with the woke left being offended by everything and nothing, I misscharacters like this on the telly. RIP Les Patterson aka Barry humphries

Thanks so much for this upload Raggy. Some buggers are so selfish keeping stuff for themselves.
😂😂😂😂
😂
Was this a real person?
Yeah. He was an Australian Prime Minister.
No a Barry Humphries character along with Dame Edna Everidge
@@Regi869 Fortunately this was filmed before he stopped looking after himself.
POOFIA LOL
the outfit brilliant
An Erica lol 😂
