  • Fucking brilliant. Hilarity at it's absolute best

  • Not funny.

    

  • Comment removed

  • Is it just me or does it appear to be fashionable to get on your high horse about how Bernard Manning was a racist on every one of his clips on Youtube? Fucking wannabe middle class Tory cunts.

  • Comment removed

  • thank fuck that fat cunts dead.

  • @joshjs667 I am going to have a prty when you die.

  • ironically their attitudes to Chinese are pretty simular.

  • @IrIsHBoI97 Ah a well-thought out reply. So what is this then? Flowers in the pocket? Okay Morrissey had that, a northern voice? Yes. I'm struggling for the satire? You seem a well-read chap so I await your response

  • bernard was a legend.. i knew the guy and he was generous to a fault.. And remember he was an 'act'...

  • So it's a northern bloke speaking smiths lyrics with flowers in his pocket? Hardly the best impersonation I have to say

  • @MrJanesaddiction I saw this just the once in (I think the year was 1987) ... and it stuck in my memory. So centuries later YouTube comes along and (thanks to the poster) bang it's back again.

    I guess you can call it progress :)

    And yes it was hysterical at the time too!

    btw just out of interest, do you remember cans of 'Top Deck' and 1/4 s of Sherbet Lemons?

  • wtf

  • I would love this to have been real, would be fantastic

  • A Black Man, a Pakistani and an Englishman go into a bar - what a fine example of an integrated community ;-)

  • it was on The Last Resort, Jonathon Ross's first Channel 4 show.

  • The really frightening part is that this is closest The Smiths ever got to being mainstream in the 80s.

    Scarier still, whoever wrote the sketch must have been a fan, you don't know about Handsome Devil or Back To The Old House if you just knew of them in passing.

    Maybe Bernard was a fan.

  • @anthonyisonfire oh aye because number 1 and 2 albums and appearances on TOTP don't make you 'mainstream'!

  • is this real i couldn't tell from laughing so hard

  • @hgchjk <3 thank you for saying this, though i'd say that he's both a racist and a coward.

  • @jasminnie hardly a coward, you moron. He said exactly what he thought.  Being a politically correct sheep, is being a real coward.

  • @BENJIMANBREEG33 oh, here we go again with someone throwing out the words "politically correct" to try to win or end an argument. how original.......

  • @jasminnie yeah, about as original as someone saying "dats racis". There'd be a lot less anger if we all were able to take the piss out of each other. Just like the English used to. Multiculturism and political correctness have been a disaster.

  • funny funny man, fuck the pathetic pc brigade.

  • ...and now Manchester's, greatest, biggest, fattest, star presents a tribute to the Smiths...

  • @hgchjk fuckoff nobhead

  • fuck the lot of you pc brigade funniest man ever , have a laugh for fucks sake before the other side gets you

  • Classic!!!!!!

  • LMFAO!!!!

  • Piss funny!

  • this is awesome!

  • If you pause this at around 8 or 9 seconds you can see, quite worryingly, underneath chubbs' bonus pork, a selection of minor cocks. Up top is a tinytip trying to make its way in the world, and underneath (manfully escaping some obvious horrors) is the nugget-length, popping out for the good of the brokeback teamsters.

  • @xZosu come round my house and i'll pull my trousers down

  • Eh? Was this actually released on 'album, cassette and compact disc' or is it just a sketch? Pretty effin' random!

  • Fuckin great

  • He was a great showband singer. This is a brill spoof.

  • Bloody hilarious. Manning was an absolute bastard on stage, poking fun at anything and anyone with a refreshing disregard for the utter hypocrisy of any political correctness nonsense. Off stage he was a committed family man who coexisted respectfully with his ethnically diverse neighbours, who by all accounts, liked him very much and thought of him as a gentleman. I think, in time, Manning will enjoy a posthumous surge in popularity when people finally realise the folly of PC.

  • @indiana1977 So what you're saying is that he only pretended to be racist?

  • @firestartertwistedfi You have to look at the man's life in its entirety before judging him based solely on his act. It is well known that he was respectful of his ethnically diverse neighbours, who liked him very much and considered him most definitely not a racist. He was a committed family man whose family meant everything to him, He was a shock comedian on stage. His act was just that, an act. It was his trade. As he said 'It's not true, it's just a joke you see.'

  • @indiana1977 i agree, i obviously knew him very well because he is my granddad and if every one else knew him like i did then you would see how caring he was. every saturday he gave me 60 pounds to put into my bank for no real reason and the amount of money he gave to charities was unreal! his neighbors were lovely and he used to get on with them well, but if people want to believe things that aren't true let them because i know he wont care :) r.i.p grandad, your the best!

  • Whats black and doesn't work? Bernard Manning's Kidneys.

  • @spr66 Nice one.

    Bernard Manning wuld laugh at that.

  • I love the randomness of this.

  • Fucking love it lol :-) He used to crack me right up the fat bastard,I once had the humiliation of him taking the piss out of me when I was 13 collecting glasses in the British Legion in Wigan while he was on stage,now that wasn't so funny lol.He was sound after though,fond memories.

  • This is one of the weirdest things I've ever seen.

  • this is a poor attempt at humour, i shit out more worthy things than this.

  • @dinojoe93 go on then - make us laugh?

  • @dinojoe93 dont watch then for fucks sake

  • Comment removed

  • He did admit he was a racist though.

  • He wasn't a good comedian, it's just that fans are usually the ones searching for videos. Search for Jim Davidson you'll get dozens of misguided idiots saying how brilliant he is and how political correctness has 'gone mad'.

  • @tomsega bet you like throwing fire extinguishers off rooftops as well,you Guardian reading dollop!

  • @iwasknownasthewild1 well said matey

  • I can't help but laugh.....:D

  • Bernard is a legend

  • better than beiber or whatever that kids name is

  • I'de rather listen to Bernard Manning singing this than any headlined act of any of the garbage the record companies are putting out today. And though I'm laughing at this He's not half bad LOL . They should warm him up a bit, get him a vocal trainer and seriouslly sell that CD :D

  • @hgchjk He was of Irish Jewish decent, I think he is trying to appeal to anyone with a sense of humour.

  • @hgchjk surely it is a joke at his own expense?

  • 77 people who dislike this video are butthurt ultra-mega "fans".

  • Whatever your views on race is, it doesn't matter. GET A SENSE OF HUMOUR. THIS MAN IS A COMEDIAN.

  • all this talk.. he was a funy man who made me fall aboute, thats all .get a life for god sake

  • MAN FAWCK THIS FAT BOY

  • I dont really get the humor here

  • Bernard Manning would fucking anyone

  • From reading his wiki, he doesn't seem like a bad guy, so fair play to him. Maybe there's something to be said about his audience then, the type of people who get off on taking the piss out of OTHERS for being different, but never take it themselves.

  • bernard should have had a medal, if not for his comedy, for his love of his country & loyalty & love of his fellow english. what a hero.

  • this is well funy

  • Quite funny that so many people like to paint Mannning as some kind of super racist despite the fact he is mixed race himself.

  • what a class man r.i.p 

  • Bernard manning in Liverpool....a nurse collecting for a hospice..manning stopped in the middle of his act..'What are you doing love' ..I'.m collecting for charity' she said.'...get my checkbook out of my jacket'.he ordered....he wrote her a cheque for £200..gave it to her and said..'There you are...now Fuck off'......absolutely hysterical!

  • @tony00165 class man

  • i'm sorry, but how is this funny

  • @JackDylanBeaumont it's not it's an insult to the smiths.

  • I love the hypocrisy of Blacks & Asians as they lambaste us whites about certain aspects of our culture. GET YOUR OWN FUCKING HOUSES IN ORDER before you slag us off. I can't stand these cunts or the middel class liberal left that not only lets this happen but encourages it.

  • @spurscab Top comment mate, he was a FINE man!

  • bernard manning is disgusting. morrissey is legendary

  • @Rmg12 AND YOU ARE A SAD CUNT!!! WIND YOUR FUCKING NECK IN

    YOU UAF CUNT!!!

  • @yorkie6687 because I don't like bernard manning - how does that make me part of the UAF? it doesn't so you get a grip of your sad little life - you're 52 and are insulting people on youtube... actually what can I expect from a patriot + most probably bnp supporter.

  • Comment removed

  • You lot need to take a chill pill Bernards humor just went out of fashion He was a reflector not a director. jokes are jokes the onstage comic is not necessarly the offstage man

  • where can i get a copy of the smiths are dead lp i would love it

  • The great manning! A working class guy who made it to the top and didn't have to move away from his roots!

  • I never even heard of this fucking guy... but he has good taste! haha!

  • Bernie never gave a fuck & made millions - keep chippin away you right-on pc wankers,he had a great life.Heaven knows you lot are miserable now,and you always will be!

  • he is fuckin brilliant

  • LMFAO what really got me was the album picture at the end.

  • Comment removed

  • Wow that's "intelligent".

    Did you think that all up by yourself you Glasgow bum?

    SCUM.

  • real funny

  • what has the scots ever done to you ?

    what has morrissey ever done to you?

    bernard manning is a great comedian.

    you are just a insignificant wank bag.

    crawl back under your stone worm.

  • Surprise, surprise.. you're illiterate.

    Just the type with the lack of intellect to think that way.

    Low IQ moron.

    You have zero credibilty.

    SCUM.

  • listen you 1st prize arsehole you want to come up to scotland and see what i am and what i can do . i will rip you a new arsehole. "prick"

  • Glad you admit the Scots are cunts.

    Not surprising is it?

    You bankrupt slags. LOL

  • baillie67 the famines over why dont you go home you pikey cunt.

    no surrender. fuck your pope.

  • If you want racist - listen to any muslim male.

    They're sexist and homophobic too.

    But the PC lefty traitors only hate the White Man.

  • @GrandPrix55 And not fucking funny to boot.

  • bernard was as funny as fuck,if youre offended youre probably some fuckin immigrant on the social

  • Funny is Funny, why do people have a problem with it ?

    England is part of a small Island in the North Atlantic ,which happens to enjoy its traditions of taking the piss and great music, We are quite happy to laugh and sing amoungst ourself's so if people don't like it.. Just Leave !

  • Fat racist twat. Gone and forgotten.

  • Comment removed

  • why watch his videos if you didnt like him you thick cunt

  • Because I was searching for the Smiths and this fat racist cunt come on.

  • clown just cause it comes up dosent mean you watch

  • Grow up he can say what ever he wants.

    Unless you are a slave to our liberal puppet masters in government.

    By the way in the 80s Morrisey said there were too many immigrants in the UK.

  • British people have a long tradition of taking the piss out of each other. Sadly, many of our RECENT immigrants don't seem to understand this, so they scream 'racism' all the time.

    Bernard was a fine comedian.

  • too true! i havent seen any adverts for a muslim comedian!

  • @supershinystoat well said my friend! coudnt put it any better.

  • @supershinystoat

    shut up you faggot!!!

  • @supershinystoat we have the same problem in Australia

  • @supershinystoat

    bullshit

  • @moderfart just out of interest, what problem do you have with bernard manning?

  • @supershinystoat So racially abusing the only black person at one of his shows, that wasn't racist then?

  • @supershinystoat I know many recent immigrants from Asia, Russia, and even Latin America who are humorless and don't get the dry wit of British humor it is SAD.

  • @juliangee You mean like this Bernard Manning joke:

    "What’s the difference between an Iraqi woman and a pilchard? One’s ugly, greasy, with bulging eyes. The other’s a fish"

    Wow, truly hilarious.

  • @supershinystoat it's not only Britain where people have tradition of taking piss out of each other, but now that the world is becoming one comedy also needs to develop and stop taking on issues like religion & race.

    Besides, traditional jokes are really getting old.

  • @supershinystoat Oh shut up

  • Bernard manning was a horrible man. I cant see why he is seen as some national treasure. I hate the thought of him.

  • dont watch then you cunt

  • ill watch and say whatever the fuck i like you dick.

  • Is this a real Ad?

  • great comedian, told it like it was ...like it is....the truth is always funniest...i wish there were more like him...r.i.p bernard

  • I love the fact he had the temerity to have a go at people of different cultures while showcasing the very worst of his own, a true bulldog breed cunt

  • I think you will find it will be you that rots in hell

  • People are being quite unfair to Bernard.

    He never hurt anybody, he was a COMEDIAN, he just told jokes.

    He hardly went around shooting pakistanis did he?

    He did an awful lot of charity work and raised over a million for a childrens hospice.

  • @Morrisseyisdead Great comment Kinsman!

  • eres un gilipollas buah como os podeis reir de un mito de una leyenda se os tendria que caer la cara de verguenz

  • The album art would have to be the funniest part.

  • For the record, I never said he was racist. I never heard of him until I saw this clip. Upon reading many comments from his other clips, Its obvious what he's known for. Don't cry happyjoe.

  • You're the one that's crying shit for brains.

  • WOW! Great comeback, with such a gift of eloquence you should be a poet. Can we all at least agree that he's fat?

  • Well since you sort have started to stop being a lying, disrespectful, smart ass, sure why not! LOL!

  • LOL!

  • I've never heard of this guy before, probably cuz i'm a yank, but that clip was friggin funny. Too bad he's known as a fat racist prick. How cool would it be if they made a SMITHS gameshow; with kareoke challenges, and trivia etc...

  • He's not racist and stop disparaging people with false accusations!

  • Yeah everybody, stop. happyjoe4ever's gonna cry!

  • Real cute.

  • not at all.

  • lol, that's well rapid.

  • most white people have changed, even former lefties like me can see whats happening, most white people dont want to be a minority in their own country, its quite simple really

  • sounds like you are falling into the stereotype of leaning further right as you get older.

  • at least bernard takes the piss out of people who can defend themselves, blacks, asians etc, ricky gervais takes the piss out of the disabled, bernard would never do anything like that.

  • Bernard Mannings a legend you twats.

  • "You weren't too happy about 'Girlfriend in a Coma'..."

    Hahahaha!!

  • Bernand Manning wasn't racist. Racism is bad, and only black people do bad things.

  • Rubbish as bernard himself said,"A jokes a joke do not take it too serious" I am afraid the public take bernards humour to be his real views about people,

    I saw bernard live there were many people there in the audience including coloured and chinese laughing out loud,who did not take the show to be bernards view of life.

  • Its unfortunate if this offends anyone but Bernard Manning was a racist and homophobic bigot.

    He may have been funny but this does not excuse the above. Anyone who praises him is endorsing this hate.

  • I cant stand racists but I've never found Bernard Manning offensive and i'm black. Chris Rock does jokes about white people and no one says anything. Its all harmless and its just jokes. What next ? Cant joke about gingers ?

  • I'm all for light hearted race jokes that poke fun out of our over PC culture and what not. But Manning went so far as to verbally bully asian and black members of his audience. This is not excusable.

    Chris Rock does not bully anyone but lightly makes fun of the differences between white and black culture of America and in doing so critisizes the prejudices. He never picks out a single person and tears into them because of their race.

    Im sure u can find some Manning videos that back me up.

  • Oh i see so Chris Rock doesnt 'bully' anyone when he does his 'racist' white jokes, but Bernard Manning does ? Manning does a lot of jokes about differences of asian/white culture. Just think nowadays you cant do any jokes as people get offended. I've had 'racist' jokes from asians and french towards me, just laugh them off and not take them seriously.

  • It was an act, you moron.

  • Wasn't everybody in the 50s and 60s and 70s? I mean he never changed, but all jokes were very anti gay and racist back in the day. We are more enlightened simply because society as a whole has changed. It's not that we are better than anybody in the past.

  • genius....pure genius

  • Heaven Knows You're Not Funny Bernard Now

  • lol dw im with you bernerd manning was a rascist prick

  • Do you really think she'll pull through?

    Fucking amazing

  • Brilliant. Everything about the smiths would be anathema to Bernard. I love watching him singing this - he doesn't need to do anything to get a laugh here.

    R.I.P from the socialist left - Bernard was a comedy genius. Thanks for posting

  • Comment removed

  • look its susan boyle singing the smiths

  • I have to say although I think The Smiths are good, that was quite funny.

    Good on you, Bernard.

  • A brand new way (crooner-like) to render The Smiths' catalogue...Fantastic!!!!! And I loved the cover...Where can I buy it??? (;))

  • what a great comedian just brilliant

  • good version of charming man better than the one moz butchered on Ross

  • Damn right. I just came from that vid.

  • I met him, drank beer with him and he was a true star.
