[supersquash7]

[Horsehoundable]

What an amazing ovation from the audience at the start of this!

[46jeanpierre]

I 'met' him in 2003 while in rehab in Scotland on a videotape, in Holland he's not known. It was the best rehap ever!! thanks for your help Bill in dificult times..

[ummglick]

Most people are intellectual..Blly is intelligent

[6oodfella]

3:18 Dour-faced bugger.

[mistresspat7]

I'm on that Island everyday going home from work.

[Siamsid]

Liverdance, PMSL!

[missElena24]

[EPIClca]

i luv the way he runs at the start XD

[TheCinemaization]

I can't catch what he says at 3:18. 

[ih8hunstoo]

@TheCinemaization The bit where he says "my wifes a shrink, she says ive got abandonment issues...whatever the fuck that is"

[jeenyusx2]

Twelve people dislike this? Those twelve people have no sense of humor.

[sonic911]

dude from boondock saints?

[Chickidee09]

Oh wow! He has such a potty mouth, but I never realized how bloody hilarious he is! :D I love him

[stitcha123]

these wud go with the tie.........FUUKKKK OFFFF!!!!!

[Hysteria98]

HAH! 2:05 - "FUCK'N BEE-BEEP!"

[CALS200]

i meet him once at celtic park so funny guy lol i got pictues with him & that hes a great guy:D

[TheMaddyboyd]

its the glasgow sense of humour if u dont laff ye,ll greet x

[charliekilley]

if i didn't need rizlas and filters to go wth my duty free baccy i'd never enter a shop its one of my many phobias fuckin hate shops.

[aldelta19]

billy will be celebrated long after we're gone.

[nath909]

ya, not jokes, observations.

[jonnyrisas]

I can't believe this guy just tells storys about shit that has recently happend to him.....

how does he do it....and just makes people laugh more than many of the greats who write funny stuff...this man is already a written masterpeice of laughter,...just needs to open his mouth lol genius!

[cantosprofanae]

i hate living in ireland. really hate it

[linoma57]

@cantosprofanae i know how you feel mate, im from scotland and live here in the states and i hate it more i can ever explain. if i didnt have  three kids who were raised here Id be back in Scotland pronto,

[JCQBNo1]

billy is 1 in 10 million,there will never be a better comedian,his abilty to take every day situations which i can relate to and make them fuckin hilairiuos is amazing,

maybe i'm biast bcoz i'm scottish and proud!!! but in my ey's he's the best at what he does than anyone else i've ever seen,i also love george carlin another legend!,but billy is better buy far in my opinion, MON EH BIG YIN!!!

[FatBlackFrancis]

The 'Big yin' is not a comic, he's a poet who conveys his medium with the inclusion of humour. He can't help it if his content is hilarious, if it makes him laugh then it fucking well makes us laugh too.

[warriorsDE72]

me and billy connolly play hide and seek

[billyconnearly]

Billy is only talking to an audience the same as if he was talking to a person at a bustop - that is his charm and his technique!....he is just another human!!

[PlaceboForLove]

Is it just me, or are those the BEST jeans in the world?

[Shagrat65]

@zeshani0009; I'm calling it like I see it daft cunt

[NatalieeLovesMusic]

I love how he includes the audience and he's not just talking at them. :D

[Shagrat65]

What a miserable prick at 3.24!

[Lewis1711]

Haha I know that part of Dublin he's talking about. Ireland is like my second home.

I find bus dodging is the best way to keep fit in Dublin.

[styrofoam96]

what makes billy connolly so funny is that hes such a good story teller.

[00suz000]

billy is a legend

[Torch6661]

"Fucking woosh and fucking zoom!"

[dodger19701]

i have a shirt like his pants, is that wrong, i also have abandonment issues, fuck, but he is fantastic

[BillysHilarious]

I love Billy , since 14 Years he's in my life and I fucking love him :) He'S the best :p

[510Kirky]

"rose of willows", you are, an arsehole.

Shutup. Seriously.

What the fuck are you doing with your life, that you have to sit on youtube, and slag the greatest man to ever come out of Scotland.

Billy's a legend, an inspiration, and an idol to millions, including me.

So dont come on youtube, trying to slag him off, infront of people who quite clearly love the guy.

Now, shut it.

[silentsilverfox1]

there are people writing there will...if i dont get back give this to my mother<

youve got abandabmit issuses, flippin great LOLOLOLOL

[QueenRaven09]

I love this guy!!!!

[tashpish]

only billy connolly can make ye piss yersell laughin at somethin as simple as tryin tae cross a road haha!!

the mans the greatest comedian ever, hands down!

[SteveUSN]

Watching this almost makes it hard to imagine that this is the same guy that played Noah MacManus

[U2FAN1992]

Shut the fuck up RoseofWillows...and that part "That tie comes with these shoes- FUCK OFF!!!"

LMFAO!! This guy is a genius.

[marroblex]

i made the mistake of getting billy connolly dvd's while i was convelessing after having an operation and ened up bursting all the stitches in my belly laughing, but what a laugh... he is briilaint

[venomouslobster]

the best comedians still laugh at their own jokes after six months of touring and telling the same ones every night....

[lynzmjfan]

Re- the person who said that "the best comedians don't laugh at their own jokes" -Billy isn't telling jokes-he tells the audience of his life experiences that he personaly finds funny- that is what makes him the funniest person-he can tell his stories in a way that makes them funny-I have watched Billy all of my life and there is very few times that I have ever heard him telling an actual joke- Im sure that Billy fans will agree with me

[Cradlestoner]

I do agree very much, well put :)

[acrobaticaromatic]

i completely agree.

and anyway, who doesn't laugh at their own jokes? surely if you're telling a joke you obviously think it's funny. so why wouldn't you laugh?

[jacksonpeace]

@lynzmjfan yep thats exactly wat he does and i can listen to it on replay and laugh everytime

[Semi0Skimmed0Milk]

@lynzmjfan No such thing as a comedian with no sense of humor.

[0oPadmano0]

@lynzmjfan Plus the fact that if you dont find your own jokes amusing how would you know other people would.The whole reasons you put jokes in your act is because you find them funny.

[RosesofWillows]

@lynzmjfan that EXACTLY why i like him. i always enjoy comedians who use life as their material, especially when it comes out as a story. And Connolly is ALL stories! ;D

[billyconnearly]

@lynzmjfan Totally agree!! - some of Billy's stories aren't funny! - it's his delivery and emphasis!! In my humble opinion Billy's secret is.....I'm not certain about this, by the way, but....he talks about what is funny in his imagination and if it's funny to him - he can transfer it to his audience as "That is what his life is like!!" and they fuckin' love it!

[STNeish]

@lynzmjfan He does occasionally tell a joke. My favourite was the one about the guy that went into the Army Surplus store. He says to the shopkeeper, "Do you have any camouflage trousers?" Shopkeeper says, "Yeah, I've got thousands, but I cannae find them!"

[hooverwildes007]

@lynzmjfan

Like Dave Allen.

[lsisoccer5]

@lynzmjfan yea besides alot of his jokes are improv, he makes them up as he goes

[PrinzEugenMCMLXXXIII]

@lynzmjfan

I think that at times he also laughs in order to have some time to think what he'll say next.

[Craxblorg]

@lynzmjfan Not only that he's essential for a young comedian to watch - it's too easy to get worried about how you're doing and whether or not you're getting enough laughs. Billy shows us how to enjoy ourselves onstage.

[ironman824]

@lynzmjfan he tells a few jokes in billy bits yer bum but its wen hes building up to a song, absolutely legendary man

[chachaandpowpow]

@lynzmjfan That's part of why I love watching him. He's not telling jokes so much as having a conversation about life with the audience. He knows life is funny and that's awesome. C:

[lynzmjfan]

There are so many bad and horrible things and people in my city that I sometimes feel ashamed-but then Billy comes along-and I can't help but feeling proud of being a glaswegian-Such a funny and very nice guy-!!

[SmellyFeetBabes]

amazing use of tounge, wicked turn of phrase, funny guy, appreciate his terms of education, all in all a very funny man

[RosesofWillows]

OMG! He's actually wearing something other than all black! :O

.....friggin finally. -_-

[JanineRobin]

lol wtf is wrong with his face in the audience just after 3:15 ? his woman is laughing along and he's like "Well actually I don't particularly find this amusing thank you very much".

[RosesofWillows]

@JanineRobin I know! he could at least act like he's having a good time, but NOOOO! .....what an arse. -_-

[RobinB650]

the best comedians dont laugh at their own jokes. apparently

[teamcrumb]

@RobinB650 apparently having rules about such matters is tedious

[jcoutts10]

Ahh.... will there ever be anyone funnier than Billy?

[kit1802]

Man i love this guy... wish he would come to Australia more often!!!

[linoma57]

@kit1802 you can keep him if you want, if you can get him away from the royal family

[cofpaddy]

Hahaha

Hahahaha...

*wipes tear*

[09876543217028]

billy connolly was put on this planet to make people laugh.

[kanehotdog14]

[theholeway1]

[angelicvampyr42]

hehe he really does :P i love the kinda pyjama look he has going on live in the albert hall =P

[crapingalien]

I love how he always has awesome pants :P

[tynieboyz]

Comedian's of Carlin and connolly's calibre don't come along too often, they are legends. When they go, we will have the memories and we'll keep laughing.

[Emerald01]

yep bang on

[karlzips1]

ive always wondered if billy and george carlin ever met or what was their opinion of each other if they did??

[frasei28]

If they met i think the whole world would change for the better lol!!

[Malecaust666]

They almost met, and Billy loved George.

[6Nicad6emus6]

That's is an awesome contemplation......

[maxwellthedog]

Good comment,

I have wondered the same myself

[DBCHotshot117]

They never met, but Billy had a very high opinion of George. He commented on it in one of his Boondock Saints 2 videos.

[pderop]

@karlzips1 they shared ideas at least :) the sheep on the edge of a cliff, I heard in both their shows :)

[mancman4bkk]

@karlzips1 I don't know, but Carlin borrowed more than one or two jokes from Billy.

[Auricdeath]

@karlzips1 I feel the same way.

[stitcha123]

@karlzips1 i think ive heard billy connolly talk about carlin and say he enjoys him

[acerb45666555]

hes amazing!!! every bit the genius George carlin was!!

[g4yn0r]

this guy is a fraking genius!

[AbigailPovey]

love this guy! lol so funny

[imafeckingredneck]

void of emotion

we need to napalm his house and crucify his loved ones, how can you not laugh at billy connolly even when he isn't speaking?

[kanehotdog14]

[snowbird68]

[rockerstar101]

[happybutwisted]

[UnderTheGun1122]

[digsmansub]

I was actually at this show,the legend that is Billy Connelly feckin brilliant.Billy Connelly,Richard Pryor,Bill Hicks and Dave Chappelle the true kings of comedy.

[citydriver]
