@williamskidfears Yes, kind of does explain why that was one of those great ideas that turned out not to be so great after all! I think some of the real upmarket ones still have it. Of course he might have had something like a Merc.
Best stand up comic ever,Part of his genius was the ability to laugh at one self, We Irish are unique in that, It's the simple everyday things that are funniest.
@liamg353 what a load of crap !!! we irish are unique in that !!! so your saying that every irish is like this man !!! you wish !!! a would move to ireland !!!
@wildtatz Sorry you seem to misunderstand what I meant, i.e. That as a race in general we Irish have that ability to laugh at ourselves. In no way did I infer that everyone in Ireland is like Dave Allen.
Classic Dave Allen. Telling it like it is! Why make things more complicated with more gadgets that are liable to break down? If it ain't broken don't fix it!
Thanks for posting all these old clips of Dave. I haven't seen these in a long time. I'd really love to see some of the skits he did like the jousting popes or the Mexican prisoner. He had such an original mind.
wow....i remember as a kid watching all the great british comedy shows on tv....but this one is never on reruns like python and hill are.....it sucks...i would love to see them again now that im older and can get the jokes..this guy was great

The guy was a great genius .Today's people do not realise how immense observation skills in life ,and knowledge are required to reach this point.
This is why Dave Allen will be the best stand up comedian for long time.
