Ed Byrne Does "I Like to Boogie" - Let's Dance for Comic Relief 2011 - Show 1 - BBC One

[Mrpandaofdoom]

Something tells me he enjoyed this a little too much

[Austenc101]

I am the ballet dancer that starts on the right with my leg up on the barre.  I had sooo much fun doing this xxxx Check out my music vids, album coming soon xxx

[derekdingle]

Looked like a drunk making a fool of himself at a christmas party....absolutely pathetic.

[rachelmacc]

@derekdingle and that is why its so great.

[Carrielouisenet]

you can see he enjoyed himself doing this! :D

[PurdyyGirly]

he's not quite billy elliott... just yet :)

[ErraticConduct]

You can definitely see that this was completely out of Ed Byrne's comfort zone, and yet, he went for it! Good on you for doing this Ed! You won't be winning any Tony's for dancing, but it was a fantastic effort for a good cause.

[TheKnightsOfCamden]

I don't think Ed Byrne's ever looked so attractive!

[chodiestchode]

@TheKnightsOfCamden He would have looked better dressed as Marc Bolan.

[Hels38Perry]

You know what? I've just watched this again and I take it all back. I must've been in a really bad mood when I first watched this, because it's not excrutiating at all- it's a giggle. Everything Ed Byrne ever does is hilarious. :-)

[CRZTee]

shows how much the irish can dance :L 

[fineggb1]

@CRZTee yet we created irish dancing. eg. celtic tiger

[oncewasblonde1]

just heard this song on vh1, remembered this, and now i can't get the stupid grin off my face

[leela145]

the thing that annoyed about this one is that there was no va voom in it,

[ayesoundmate]

fan-bloody-tastic.



[Mr08james]

@anaemia

The woman is Arlene Phillips from Strictly Come Dancing.

[Irishandproudtobe]

When he walked out with the ball he should have wore a jersey with "Henry" on the front!!! ha

[anaemia]

Who was that dancing with him?

[MissMeLittleful]

i no 2 of the ballet girls x they go to my skl

[ChiliPeppz]

He should have had boxing gloves instead of a football

[jajanina]

I could just see him before me when he got asked to do this: OK but only if I can do Billy Elliot!

[classicrockfan555]

Exellent choice of song!

[EleanorStokesTV]

I love watching this! About 3 hours ago I met Ed! I went to see his new tour, definitely worth seeing.

[ilovetodreamatno3]

ah god, he's gone so old looking, that dancing looked more like leap'n about..........oh god, so bad its funny, ed byrne is friggin gas altogether

[Hels38Perry]

Seriously, why do otherwise brilliant stand-ups lower themselves to this kind of shit? The "Oh, but it's for charity!" reasoning doesn't hold: Ed is a great, great stand-up, and so he already has an act that he can do for charity- and without compromising his integrity along the way. There's nothing funny about this at all. It's excrutiating to watch.

[irishdan2007]

@Hels38Perry celebrities making fools of themselves to help poor starving dying kids in africa is what comic relief is all about, what is wrong with you?

[loquatiousbadger]

@Hels38Perry

Not the sort of person to let your hair down and do really silly stuff just for giggles then?

I'd hate to be at one of your parties!

[dervocklad]

Arlene phillips made my night.

[twithers11]

@brumster01 (I apologise for the second post but I did not have enough characters remaining for my third point) The fact that you call yourself British makes me feel physically sick not only for the aforementioned reasons but also because of your poor grammar, such negligence for the language that is both universal and your supposed mother-tongue could not have been taught. You clearly care not for anything or anyone but yourself.

You have no right to comment on this video you traitorous fool

[twithers11]

@brumster01 I really must agree with you...

I am ashamed to call myself British too, but that is because I am not British. There is only a small minority that can call themselves British, the select few who have English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish blood in them. The rest of us are not "British" you moron.

Then there's the main question that has been missed: "why watch the video if you disagree with comic relief so much?"

[hunkydunky1]

brilliant :D

[nsggirl12]

He should hav gone through nd nt katie price!

[newishness]

I love Arlene. :)

[TheDoctorwhofan456]

British Humour ROCKS!

[Emmaemagee]

@TheDoctorwhofan456 Ed's Irish

[TheDoctorwhofan456]

@Emmaemagee Still part of Britain in my mind. No need to be a smart arse ;]

[moonymelts]

@TheDoctorwhofan456 Nope, Ireland isn't part of Britain.

[TheDoctorwhofan456]

@moonymelts I really couldn't give less :]

[irishdan2007]

@TheDoctorwhofan456 because your wrong!

[TheDoctorwhofan456]

@irishdan2007 Are we really gonna argue bout this!?!

[irishdan2007]

@TheDoctorwhofan456 bit pointless coz we both know ur wrong

[TheDoctorwhofan456]

@irishdan2007 I said the British Humour Rocks. What is the point in me going: English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish humour rocks. But Irish republic humour rocks too! WTH!

[irishdan2007]

@TheDoctorwhofan456 u cud have just said ed byrne rocks, or u cud have just said nothing and u would have avoided looking foolish

[LABWTS24]

I wish he had got in x

[DharokDX]

Billy Elliot would be proud of tht performance ;)

[DharokDX]

Billy Elliot would be proud ;)

[Orangeladybirds]

how come irelene is there? wtf?

[KillerSnail898]

this is my favourite one of all time, i love ed byrne and i love billy elliot! <3

[goliathdiver]

got to love ed byrne!

[02gouldic]

@brumster01 Have you not heard of gift aid!

[JessiicaFox]

ED!! XD Feck off Katie Price, we wanted Ed!!

[MyLifeAbitch]

LOL

[scarlotty123]

Naww, I liked this.

[lazybeastproductions]

@brumster01 please stop your stupid moaning,

[whirlyfan]

he was good go ed hehehe

[TheBighairyfart]

Smug.

[benandarchie]

Ballet

[djpj22]

I think this is a lifelong dream fulfilled for Ed Byrne......

[ekirkie]

he should have got through.. not that katie bloody price shoving her boobs in the air!!! :@

[riftintimeandspace]

Hahaa :) I love this! Something strangely brilliant about a tall, long haired, gangly pale man dancing about with ballerinas :D

[MsYumky]

Ed Byrne is hilarious in this clip, and he should have made it to the finals!!

3 of my favourite things combined: Ed Byrne, Billy Elliot, and BOOGIE <3<3<3

[RandomObsessiveGirl]

Arlene's blatently only there because if he'd danced with one of the little girls on their own he would have looked like a pedo :L

Although saying that, Ed Byrne= My hero.

[musicsnobtobe]

@RandomObsessiveGirl Actually she's there playing Julie Walter's role in Billy Elliot. She's the dance teacher and he's Billy. The two of them dance a routine to I Love To Boogie.

[cindyao]

CUTE!!

[brumster01]

ahhh comic relief is here, BBC making millions for the government,and building a shit building and a water pump in some African village that gets shot up at by there own people,so glad i don't live in the UK these days,i was and still am ashamed to call myself British.

[drwhofreak08]

@brumster01 You know what FUCK YOU!!!!

It does not go to the government it goes to help make a difference in Africa.

So don't sit there and criticize them for trying to do something and to be honest for saying that you should be ashamed you exist. Go out and get hit by a bus you FUCKING CUNT!!!!!!!!!!

FUCK YOU!!!!

[brumster01]

@drwhofreak08 I wouldn't expect people to know that the government gets a cut,you honestly think they would just let all that money go away tax free? your just as gullible as the rest, and these places in africa need to sort there own problems out,send money isn't the answer,building a water pump isn't the answer either,that would just get taken over by a rebel group and it does,its a fact,and also why are they fleecing us for money? when 50million gets spent on a football player? why come to us

[Sladestuff]

@brumster01 Obviously not all the money can go to the charity but it wasn't set up for the government for any political intentions or anything, and even if it was it still raises a lot of money that goes to help people and only an idiot or someone ignornant to the issues would think that that was a bad thing

[Charlienmeg]

@brumster01 Have you actually looked at what groups like Water Aid do in third world countries? Have you been out there to see what's being done? Have you seen the water pumps? Because I have, and they certainly haven't been "taken over by rebel groups". By stating "it's a fact" does not by any stretch of the imagination make it a fact you know. Nobody is forcing you to contribute, but leave those who do want to alone and keep your paranoia to yourself.

[SillyStephers93]

@brumster01

they dont fleece us for money. we do stuff like this because e enjoy doing it. I know it's hard to believe but some british people have hearts...

[gammaray0wn]

@brumster01 Yeh, providing those in poverty with the means to sustain themselves. What a SHAMEFUL thing to do. You are totally right. Only a complete sociopath would think that charity was a good thing. In fact, I think we should just kill everyone.

[lg2498]

@brumster01 You fucking idiot.

it does not go to the frickin government. Fucking cunt!

[implications24]

@brumster01

im glad you left britain, im ashamed that someone like you is british too. get over yourself.

[cacacacosa]

He should have won, this is brilliant. I'm sorry if this annoys somebody, but Katie wasn't that good - she only won because she's more famous.

[debbieaus]

Just a typing error that I couldn't retract

[nia658]

so gutted he didnt get through 2 the final! :( xx

[veryTWfanxx]

i think he did really well :)

[chloeleigh16]

@debbieaus your girl is way good at dancing!!!!!!!!!!!

[debbieaus]

@chloeleigh16 Thank you so much. She loves dancing but singing is her passion. See her on Reverbnation - just type in Chelsie Austen. Great if you could add yourself as a fan. Thank you soooo much xx

[TheRainbowDonkey01]

He should have got through :(

[SarahCulli4]

How can you not love this man !!! :D <3 x

[whatthemileycyrus]

Haha love it. Arlene is really good for a 66 yr old. And ed is just a pure legend!!

[1sineadmc]

it was allright but russell kane was way better

[AranelEnMirkwood]

This should really have gone through, since he actually danced. unlike ms price.

[seabisquick]

I can see his belly button.

[Impignorate]

What a pure legend.

[DaddyBig73]

Great moves Ed. When did the bar go?

debbieaus it is was a great show with Ed and beat Katie go. All the best for your daughter for the future.

[lauraxlolly]

should have went through.

[nirmz94]

ED! <3

[12345tim54321]

Bear Awkward 

[SelfishHands]

@12345tim54321 At least learn how to spell 'bare' right if you're gonna criticise anyone...

[melgboom]

Ed Byrne looks REALLY good in white shorts(;

Though I feel jealous cause he looks better in them than me.

And I'm a woman. . . . .

[bubbaoni]

I don't know how this came up on my computer but it is sheer joy. There is nothing better than watching people doing things like this - it's like dressing up in funny clothes and going in a parade. It's the better side of humans. And the I love to Boogie

song makes watching Billy Elliott over and over and over - wonderful.

[phoebegrove]

o loved this. i can't velieve he didn't go through the finals

[vinnyflintoff]

This is another reason why Ed Byrne is Awesome!

[DaddyBig73]

@debbieaus It is was a great show with Ed and beat Katie go. All the best for your daughter for the future.

[debbieaus]

@DaddyBig73 Thank you so much for your kind comment. Watch out for her single being released soon. Great if you could add on reverbnation. Your time really is appreciated xxx

[Dannan1989]

@debbieaus That's your daughter?! What a gorgeous smile and what a little star! Glad to hear she had fun! x

[debbieaus]

@Dannan1989 Thank you so much, everyone has been so kind. She loves performing and will be bringing out her single soon so keep watching reverbnation. thank you sooo much for your kind comment, it is really appreciated xxx

[JennyFromTheVlog]

@debbieaus i'm so jealous of your kid ! she's epic !xx

[debbieaus]

@JennyFromTheVlog Wow thank you for the fantastic comment, she will be very happy xxxxxx

[veryTWfanxx]

@debbieaus what your 12 year old daughter has got a record contract?

[debbieaus]

@veryTWfanxx Yes thats right with MKVibe. Done introductory Christmas song and back in the studio this week to lay down another couple of tracks. Thanks for your interest.. See her on Reverbnation x

[TheRainbowDonkey01]

@debbieaus She was really good :)

[debbieaus]

@TheRainbowDonkey01 Thank you so much xx

[GrantJLomas]

You can see the shear amount of choreography that's gone into this can't you?

[cctps]

Is that Arlene Phillips?

[RarRarRarRarRAWR]

I know this is beside the point, and I should be commenting on the performance, but I can't get past the fact that it should be "I Love to Boogie" not "I Like to Boogie". Silly BBC. Or it might be me being the turdbrain and it IS "Like" but I'm 99% sure it's not (what with the lyrics being "I love to boogie on a Saturday night"and so on). But there's still that niggling 1% persistent on going "YOOZ WRONG DIPSHIT! DA BBC IZ ALWAYS RIGHT, OBEY DEM! THEY IZ GODDD,INNIT?!!"- Yes. My brain is a chav.

[MaybeRumpel]

Ed should have gone through! Seriously, this is brilliant!

[mombassa17]

its so annoying Katy price got through and not him

[aussieome]

Loving the Billy Elliotness

[swaindude10]

hey guys i was in that just got home from the studios ! was very fun working with him oh and by the way my name is hollie swain !

[NatalieDun]

Aw he was robbed :( Was hoping he'd make the final!

[Thetenwhos]

He was great =) pity he didn't get through though =/

[Walkden09]

Reminds me Austin Powers lol
