Plus you have to pass 3 separate auditions before going infront of Louis and co but yet Jedward, Wagner and Johnny got that far so that just goes to show ya.. Load of rubbish..

@andy29375 you're probably right mate unless his x factor judging is all an act but I find myself believing ever more that it's genuine and he's an utter tit... Without the success that Boyzone had and Westlife he'd be nowhere and is an absolute pillock on that show in my book.. Jedward, Wagner, Johnny.. I find it severely coincidental that year in, year out he always gets the category with the ridiculous act(s) in it and ya know he'll put them through.. None of the 3 I mentioned were meant for
This is one guaranteed way of both making me laugh and cry in one go. Absolutely love Les when he played the piano off key. There's definitely not been another talented comedian like him since and from the current pick of the bunch, its highly unlikely.
For me, it's not just the 'faulty' piano playing (which is a feat in itself) that is the genius behind Les it's the confidence he displays while doing it. There aren't that many people who could make you laugh with this act but his expressions and lack of contrivance wrap it all up perfectly. :-)
I have come to the conclusion that videos featuring subjective things such as comedy should have their comments disabled; that way they won't degenerate into "your country is shit" arguments.

If you cannot tell the difference, I cannot help you.

@alfiesgirluk its doubtful you could play the same tune as in this video... in the right key it'd sound normal so he still needs to know how to play and play well - it'd be so hard to keep playing in the wrong key as the temptation would be to play in the right key so yes, he is very talented and not just anyone could do that - hence why everyone finds it hilarious... If he was genuinely rubbish at playing there wouldn't be a funny aspect to it
@TheDiddlysquat I didn't state that you did, but in your last reply you stated 'But you can't call little Britain inventive...' and that's what I am referring to.
It certainly does, I am a teacher of music with over 30 years experience, and it is almost impossible for me to go out of tune like that on purpose, you automatically want to play the right notes, such an extremely talented man was Les
liar there is no talent to playing out of tune its just playing in the wrong key. you if you have been teaching music for over 30 years need to stop teaching and stop spouting such drivel u tool. ive never heard such drivel.
@ljs123 johnny you are over flowing with pent up aggression. there are so many internet and you tube hard men around these days. you must even scare yourself..........
Ok, maybe i've drank too much fresh orange juice today, but i'm thinking maybe Bill Bailey is the only famous person I know who could do this sketch today with anything approaching conviction? So a biopic of Les Dawson starring Bill Bailey? Could it work or am i going mad?
May the world NEVER forget Les...the brightest star in the firmament that is comedy!!
No other could touch him...and apparently they didn't!! Thank you Les..I'm just glad my years of being there collided with yours...even the stars laughed with you...RIP...
@kingklabe Absolutely just like it was with Tommy Cooper to do magic that badly!! It was a talented skill that was practiced to get the audience laughing :) And Les did with such aplomb :)
@kingklabe Yes, you could compare it to Tommy Cooper being a top class straight magician which was what enabled him to perform conjuring tricks badly so that they were funny.
@ljs123 Playing out of tune is the easy part. It's the fact that he could play with the correct timing and choose notes that are particularly cacophonous rather than just playing the note next door.
Les, wherever you may be, you're sadly missed by us down here, but thanks to YouTube we we can still enjoy your tinkling of the ivories. (Or beating them into submission..)
Brand? Ross/ Jo Brand ? FuCk FuCK Vagina ShiT ! WoW, how amazingly talented, NOT. LES spent ages learning how to play that bad . It's not that easy,well unless you're naturally crap .
So called comedians nowadays have to make up for lack of talent by just trying to shock (teenage humour)
Jeremy Clarkson? When was he ever funny?? Give me the classics any time, The 2 Ronnies, Les Dawson, Billy Connolly, Rowan Atkinson, Morecambe and Wise and so on.
we saw him at the Cavendish Club, Sheffield ,early 70s. he was hilarious. and all good clean gags, he says ,, " my wife is so fat,, when she.s on the beach, they try to drag her into the sea,,, they think she,s a stranded whale,,
At one Royal Variety Show he shaped up to play a song for an old lady (an ex-entertainer) who he said was 111 today ... the audience fell for it ..... until he looked into the wings, cupped an ear and said "Oh, I'm sorry she's not 111, she's ill". Can someone load this gag up, it is superb.
Another great comic from the North of England,Les was wonderful, one of he last of a great Comic era (of which Ken Dodd is THE last).Love that deadpan face and the 'Cissy and Ida' sketches (with Roy Barraclough) were hilarious, as Northern asBlack Pudding and Hilda Baker .You also have to be a very talented pianist to play that badly deliberately. Thanks Les.x
I wish there were more clips online of Les playing in this manner - he was never funnier than when doing this kind of routine. I wish I'd appreciated his comedy more when he was alive...
I'm so glad YouTube is here to allow me to call upon fantastic memorable clips like this one! Just to reassure bonnie43uk, Norman Wisdom is still alive ...there was a report made in error ar the end of 2008 but it was exactly that - an error.
There were many great british comedians around when i was a kid but les dawson was one of the greatest. Just watching this again reminds me of all the times my mum would tell me off for banging my dinky up against the bathroom scales.
its actually harder to play the wrong notes, Les Dawson always cracked me up when he played the piano. we'll miss u Les. ps, did anyone hear that Norman Wisdom died????
Saw your comment about english language. Interesting, if we were bombarded with say French, Spanish, or even Greek etc..., then we would speak that language. However, we are not, therefore we speak the language most of the world chooses to use, get my 'drift' (Americanism)
yo tb lo he leido en el jueves,y la verdad, siempre me han gustado las criticas/alagos de Pepe Colubi,las encuentro muy acertadas y he buscado el video con gran ilusion,pero al verlo,me ha decepcionado muchisimo,no le veo la gracia en ningun sitio, a lo mejor mi humor no es tan sofisticado,pero bueno, no por ello voy a dejar de leer sus comentarios!Al fin y al cabo,LO ha conseguido,aqui estamos todos los jueveros/as mirando lo que nos dicen!Felicidades Pepe,no ha perdido su poder de conviccion!
The man was a genius when it came to humour... I LOVED him as a child and appreciated him more and more when I studied music.

There were many great british comedians around when i was a kid but les dawson was one of the greatest. Just watching this again reminds me of all the times my mum would tell me off for banging my dinky up against the bathroom scales.

There was once a full length version of this sketch posted, but it got pulled. Shame.
Anyway, AWESOME comic, sadly missed.

I used to love it when he played the piano. In reality of course he was a very good pianist. Good old Les, they don't make them like that anymore.

And how does that help me? Everyone should speak English then life would be so much easier.

Saw your comment about english language. Interesting, if we were bombarded with say French, Spanish, or even Greek etc..., then we would speak that language. However, we are not, therefore we speak the language most of the world chooses to use, get my 'drift' (Americanism)

The fantasic, amazing Les. Had he still been alive today I'm sure he would have been 'Sir' Les!
To play the piano 'badly' Is so difficult to do. Pure genius

yo tb lo he leido en el jueves,y la verdad, siempre me han gustado las criticas/alagos de Pepe Colubi,las encuentro muy acertadas y he buscado el video con gran ilusion,pero al verlo,me ha decepcionado muchisimo,no le veo la gracia en ningun sitio, a lo mejor mi humor no es tan sofisticado,pero bueno, no por ello voy a dejar de leer sus comentarios!Al fin y al cabo,LO ha conseguido,aqui estamos todos los jueveros/as mirando lo que nos dicen!Felicidades Pepe,no ha perdido su poder de conviccion!
