[PrinceFillip]

The part about the blue ring octopus was absolute gold! God I love the way Billy just rolls the story along, quite frankly then... F--CK OFF!!! hahaha pure awesome.

[sawoffleg]

THE BEST !!

[TeddyMadison]

Billy...never...fails. I don't care what clip it is, I get a stupid grin at the minimum.

[kurdt821]

[MrCriticOfAll]

@BlogBitch Bundaberg here.

[gettingahandle]

has he ever tried tucking his shirt in? BILLY! IF YOU ARE READING THIS, GO SUCK ON SOME HAGGAS!

[jstevo15]

@gettingahandle Eh? Most bizarre 'insult' ever. That shirt is clearly not meant for tucking it. Its also Haggis...

[gettingahandle]

@jstevo15 Haggis is NOT a shirt! Haggis is a kind of long saussage made from compredssed fermented fish heads. Favorite scottish dish. But if it's not for tucking in, then it must be a mental hospital gown. Figures, the way billy has been carrying on.

[jstevo15]

@gettingahandle Im scottish, Haggis is not fermented fish heads. Seeing as your from Oz im assuming your just being a joker rather than clueless. Id agree that it is a slightly crazy shirt!

[gettingahandle]

@jstevo15 Bugger. You are supposed to sound angry!

[TheRealDerfMan]

.....it was my own fuckin' flipper..... haaaaaaaahahahaha!

[kayne80]

your dumb

yep thats all

[MisterKargar]

hey at least i had to the repsect to throw stupid into an entire catagory instead of resorting to blatant personal abuse when i decide to view my opinions on a public reviewing board

so in the nicest possible way kindly fuck off and get over yourself

[kayne80]

I see you removed what you said so you most feel dumb about writing it.

so in the nicest possible way your very dumb.

[dingbatsteve]

Neatly put....

[CeilidhExperience]

Legend!

[xVampirexKiss]

Aww He's always been such a Legend!

Friggin Hilarious. ;D

[ultimateiversonfan10]

lol i guess us australians just arent that scared of sharks

[w0bbl3r]

ahhhh, back when comic relief was funny

[danw1374]

its billys brutal honesty aside from the great stories i love... he just dont give a fk lmfao!! long live the big yin!! :D

[JamieChaosAubrey]

It was my own flipper PMSL

[pianomikey0]

I've never heard of this guy before? How is that possible?? He is absolutely hilarious!

[spardaking]

it's because your from the united states in Britain and Ireland, he is quite famous

[pianomikey0]

Actually, the question is rhetorical :) It's more "why isn't he more well-known outside the UK" but hey, that's what Youtube is for.

[irishchrisc]

Actually. I am a Billy Connolly fan. I went to the states ten years ago. I became acquainted with George Carlin's material. They did share a lot of stuff. Different style but very funny.

[w0bbl3r]

NEVER HEARD OF BILLY?

WOW, I WISH I WERE YOU. i wish i could watch all his shows for the first time.

find "billy and albert", "an audience with billy connoly", and "billy connoly live".

those first two are the best shows he ever did. billy and albert shows him doing a full version of the scuba diving/shark scare story.

have fun

[irishchrisc]

He and George Carlin are the same type. Carlin was unheard of on Europe. They shared material. Watch a few of both, you will see. Carlin was a little more cynical, and Billy Connolly was more of a storyteller.

[shaunbirch]

and Connolly never wrote material so they couldnt share it. he made stuff up on stage,

[irishchrisc]

Go and watch a Few George Carlin gigs around the same time. You will agree with me. When I said shared material, I was not being literal, as in sharing jokes in writing. They must have shared jokes, musings in conversation. Also, only a small portion of Billy's act is off the cuff.

[ferretgirrrl]

I REMEMBER the day this was aired on tv in 1986 - flipping BRiLLIANT!

[lisaclinton1984]

it was my own fuckin flipper!!! Hilarious

[Nurr0]

LOLLOLOL. Oh my god. Tears. Too funny. (<- Australian).

[aileanwazere]

haw racist is this video haha

[spottybott]

a goddddddd

[Grothbar]

You just can't say that kind of stuff anymore, ah that was the 80's...

[rwlong88]

its the way he ses boosh!

[Smeagoldor]

More great things from the Big Yin!

[AustralianHPfan]

"Who annoys these bastards?" he's absoloutly right of course NO ONE goes and picks up friggen spiders thats big

god he's funny my diaphagym (sp?) actually hurts now

[ozzyx15]

well i held a tarantula when i was 12 :) but yeah, nothing annoys them XD

[AustralianHPfan]

haha really?

[ozzyx15]

yep, as big as my palm, and i held it and now i can say i did XD

[AustralianHPfan]

lol i had a snake around my neck when i was five (longer than me twice over at the time)

[Kazumaster]

I can top that - my cousins had a pet tarantula, it died just two years ago :) I used to feed it weekly.

[Adebay0r]

I had a pet Rancor, until some fucking Jedi killed it :'(

[leomanl]

possibly the best come back ever man

[lapalad]

I,m an Aussie and when i first heard this i was half asleep in bed,i laughed so much i couldn,t get back to sleep.Its so true especialy amongst surfers when the shark alarm goes off they stay in the water,now i know why,sharks eat one person at a time Brilliant

[chsbcg]

How can this be in 1984? Comic Relief happens during the odd number years, not even.

[Climbatize]

I've just checked the tape that this clip came from and it says "1986" so we were both wrong.

[cobblers89]

ive yet to meet someone who dont love Billy Connolly!

[Bigturns33]

Hes the best. When u have guys that talk him up so much like Robbin Williams and such other great comedyans its just amazing.Hes been doing it for longer than anyone I know out there right now.

[HellianxElizabeth]

xD! He's hilarious.

and I'm a mixed breed - Scottish and Irish mostly with a little English tainting my blood - and although I can take the mick out of any aspect of my background, being openly racist means you deserve to die. =D

[xsvsx]

I always go swimming with a bottle of vinegar. You're probably the same yourself.

[AshMan36O]

so funny killed ma self lafin

[TJOOBI1]

i have been looking for this shark sketch for so long, thank you. i didn't realise it was so long ago since i must have watched it.

[garywoodhead35]

hes a jock say no more hes not funny at all scottish red faced alcoholic wife beater im english and i hate jocks

[aeonflux67]

Well get used to it as you have one for a Prime Minister now!

[xsvsx]

And that comment has done nothing but make you seem like a complete knob to anybody who reads it, no matter what country they're from. Well done.

[musikist]

ok. your mum taught you to eat cock and speak bollocks well! good for you.

[xRobbedx]

Wow and your'e just a barrel of laughs by the looks of it -.-

[opitz74]

he's great. And yeah, it's true about the box jellyfish - vinegar is the way to stop it. Love the bit about he blue ringed octopus!

[SMOKEYBOGAN]

i was in tears

[andy666atreus]

this is the funniest billy vid i've found....does this exist on video or dvd?????

[Climbatize]

Reply to andy666atreus:

It's from the very first comic relief. I've done a quick search for a retail copy but the only place I found it was second hand on ebay. The full title is "comic relief utterly utterly rude video live". (VHS tape, afaik never released on DVD).

[duffwall]

i have a copy and thats not what its called

my mum saw this show how ever many years ago it was. and she bought the tape afterwards

[Climbatize]

Well it's definitely on the Comic relief utterly utterly rude video live, I have it here in front of me. But if your mum has it on another tape as well can you find out the title for me? Thanks

[duffwall]

on the cover it says "THE YOUNG ONES BILLY CONNOLLY & ROWAN ATKINSON LIVE & UNCENSORED it's COMIC RELIEF"

its a video distrubited by Virgin and it was for OXFAM and SAVE THE CHILDREN FUND

[YABAJUKABA]

He's pretty funny but I perfer Dylan Moran, I 'm not racist I just don't like the Scottish. No, I like the Scottish, I like anyone with any British/Irish accent except English (cos it's mine and it's boring)

[chepasty]

Dylan Moran is a derivative comic, and he has been quoted saying: "the reason I am a derivative comic, is that all of the people in my form of comedy have derived it from Billy Connolly" ...

[entmage]

I want a shirt like that

[skujam1]
