  • I've never heard of Lenny Henry here in the US. I thought the clip was funny. But judging from all the racist comments on these posts, it does explain all the riots that happened in England this year. Hmm.

  • @peter7409...PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS!!

  • he should be done under the trade descriptions act, for pretending to be a comedian. fucking sad cunt

  • @peter7409 Lenny Henry has talent - just not very much - and certainly insufficient to justify a 30 year tv career. His good fortune has been the broadcasters' failure to find a black perfomer to replace him.

    Back in the day the BBC needed to fill some quotas, Minority comic, gay comic etc and plugged the hell out of these people even though they were not funny, they were employed because they ticked a box and did not make the BBC look racist or Homophobic

  • thick sad outdated boring cunt. funny as fucking aids

  • @peter7409 troll

  • Absolutely hilarious!

  • Hahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!­

  • Kenny was the greatesr mimic you'd hear. And he really is massive, I understand that London had no time bur Chris Tarrant in Birmingham thought' he's funny and fills it and good off screen.' Shame you middle class Londoners=never opening. I mean. Perhaps you cant.

  • i haven't and won't watch all of this clip, but i bet 1000 quid somewhere in it he does a west african accent like he's being doing for 25 years......

    go on henry if it ain't broke don't fix it, or in his case its always been broke and he can't fix it........ how can anybody even stood near to dawn french be funny!!

  • absolutely right. henry is garbage, just screams all the time. whats funny about that

  • @peter7409 LENNY HENRY IS FUNNY OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK­KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK­KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.

  • @britturk123 Indeed Peter, hihihihihihi

  • Lenny...your a racist dickhead....prick...sorry,sing­le prick

  • Get niggers off my screen NOW

  • @sinbin365 Fuck off you rascist cunt.

  • Apparently,this guy is supposed to be some sort of "sensation" in the UK or whatever,never heard of him-Lenny who..? He ain't very funny,just making a lot of stupid little noises,british will laugh at anything I guess.

  • @joker3092 I am english and i have never laughed at this racist dick head he is a huge wanker..

  • @joker3092 I am british and i totally agree with you this idiot cannot make me laugh, i have never liked this twats mouth he just shouts and screams all the time, He is not funny at all and those who laugh at him must have a warped sense of humour, He is shit. Oh and a prick.

  • @edwina22  agreed!

  • @joker3092 Plenty of shitehawk comedians in both our countries mate, he isn't really a sensation over here. There are plenty of better comedians over here. He is more of a fond national joke along the lines of....aww look at Lenny still trying. Chris Rock picked up on it when he came over here.

  • Lenny something certainly trained you and your's;-)

  • oh come on he has done it for years, so have a lot of people. thats ok. couldnt care less if someone is black pink yellow white or gay whatever. but dont use it, to get on. he has fair play to him. but he has, and he is not funny never has been, whats funny about screaming all the fucking time

  • very funny

  • Lenny Henry - You are so hilarious. Pure genius. When I want to cheer myself up, I just watch one of your videos.

  • i would love to hear the JESUS IS TRAINED BY GOD hymn at my church

  • Wolverhampton :D

  • not you again. to rockarolla. fuck me you got to get out more bro

  • ROLMBO!!!

  • rockarolla. COS I CAN OK ITS MY OPINION. now you love the talentless twat fine, but i know got it i know, he is a useless prick. so dont lecture me on wot i think. are you david cameron telling me wot i think. so keep the advice to yourself mate. henry is a boring sad inept useless demented poor excuse of a comedian. comedian thats funny ha ha.

  • @peter7409 Why the hell are you watching this then? Just too leave an insulting comment? Go and do something that you like and if insulting other people (you don't even know in person) that only shows that you need to get a life!

  • @83RockaRolla Its ok, Peter is a wanker. He's probably out of a job with no skill set, knows nothing about the world, is an avid football supporter and has no book collection to speak of.

    In short Peter is a low life with no class or education and with zero desire to better himself or the world. He is the vermin amongst humanity.

  • @peter7409 Colour to get on? excuse me, if ay other comedian can offend every culture from ever thats fine, cause its comdey, then lenny can to, hes hilarious :') he really is, he doesnt even use race 80% of the time, and then theres yu who's commenting on a youtube video saying hes crap, tbh i doubt he'd be fussed :') hes doin better than you m8

  • The funniest thing Lenny did was marry Dawn French. Now that's funny.....

  • Parkinson didnt know if he should laugh or not, so it become a weird falsh laugh.

  • Q. Why does Lenny Henry always has a good nights sleep at the Travelodges he advertises.

    A. He no longer gets up at the crack of dawn.

  • @anddyx you're not funny

  • @LikkleMissBambii I think I'm hilarious.

  • Live Aid! HaHahaha!

    Brilliant take off of (all join in!) Pentecostalism!

    Lenny; Hope you are ok following the break up.

  • LOL

    A Lot Of People Won't Get This But, IF You Do Its HILARIOUS

  • Bollocks. He's a Brummie through and through. Race doesn't enter into it...region does.

    All the little towns around Birmingham seem to spawn nutters (look at Roy Wood and Ozzy and JRR Tolkein) with maybe a bit of an inferiority complex because the Birmingham area is as dull as dirt (or it was when I was there in the 60s and 70s). We grab our entertainment where we can--and the best of us turn it into comic gold.

  • Dudley ain't that bad, can think of many worse areas to live both north and south.

    People on the whole are friendly, and Lenny is a successful career man regardless of race. A few "celebrities" could take a leaf or two out of this guys book, about how not to take yourself too seriously.

  • Comment removed

  • annoying but still think he is a legend

  • Great man, uttely hilarious but Dudley is NOT a great place. Believe me I live there.

  • @Veron451 lol i know dudley is a shit hole : (

  • yeah len - but FUCK DUDLEY!!!

  • I am sitting here absolutely ill with laughter - i can quite believe they could come out with that kind of hymn at Lenny's Mum's funeral. Quality stuff.

  • Lenny Henry is quality!

  • I love his stuff! Very funny man! Please make more Chef!!!

  • Omg i was pissing my self it was that funny!!! omg tears down my eyes!!!!

  • Go on len!!!!!

  • reekinopiss: only a moron would compare Lenny Henry to the 3 you did. Henry's comedy career has been about the experiences of 2nd gen. immigrants to the UK, whilst being primetime and TV friendly. His humour is also more verbal than physical so an adequate comparison is Robin Williams.

    Some of his routines may seem hackneyed now but he is evidently a genuinely funny person. He knows his material and his audience and its refreshing to see a comedian that doesnt resort to profanity and innuendo.

  • For any West Indian or African... nevermind that ... for ANYONE living in the U.K. (or former commonwealth countries like Canada) or U.S. this is going to be funny.

    Unless of course your standard for humour is the pathetic poopoo kaakaa bumbum embarressment to intelligent people (black and otherwise) that's being passed off as representative of ALL "black" culture on North American Cable.

    As a Canadian born West Indian of African descent, I find laughing "with" and "at" ourselves... FUNNY.

  • @GordonBeckles We Canadians are still part of the Commonwealth.

  • @mahound9 Oops. You're right. I stand corrected. We of the Commonwealth...

  • @GordonBeckles

    Canada still is in Commonwealth?

  • @GordonBeckles total crap has got to work now his wife has pissed him off

  • but his shows are absolute top, watch BBC ! , but might be your lack of sense for the real black community

  • LOL where is this church, I would go!!

  • I'm in tears from laughing too hard!!

  • Oh lord - his old lady singing is exactly like my nans. XD

  • I watched the Parky interview with Victoria Wood and clicked on this. Not 'cos I'm a fan but because I wanted to see how long LH could talk without mentioning Dudley!

    28 seconds!

  • anyone else think lenny is actually a pretty good singer?

  • day 4......

  • I bet he came up with that right on the spot.

    amazing.

  • He's both adorable & hot- Dawn's lucky.

  • She'd be the best mum ever.

  • I think they have a daughter... and yeah, what a family to have, eh?

  • Dont let satan up your nightie!!!!!!!

  • I have been to those funerals: God bless those old caribbean church ladies!

  • They are amazing... there's a group of them at my parents church.. .they will take over the kitchen & not let anyone else in! They're all wonderful

  • 'To run the holy race' surely.

  • we gonna mash up the devil with the THE LOVE of jesus and a big fatass baseball bat

  • when jesus puts his reeboks on to run the holy race they may test him for drugs but he will be clean because he is trained by god **

    (:

  • this is rather hilarious!! lol lol lol

  • Afro-Caribbeans are the Irish with dark skin. Funny and musical.

  • I accept that theory unquestioningly.

  • That's why they made him Chef!

  • its a fucking interview :/ no it isnt supposed to be funny

  • Is this supposed to be funny?

  • TRAAAAAAAAINED BY GAAAAAAAAAAD!

  • Lenny Henry = LEGEND!

    nuff said

  • we're gona mash up tha devil with the luv of JESUS!! AND A BIG FAT BASEBALL BAT!!!

    LMAO

  • lol

    sooo funny =]

    i think is probhably quite clever really !

  • i love him lol, saw him at my local theatre in 2005 was gr8 :D

  • Lenny is brill. Very funny and not scared to make a bit of a tit of himself. Good for him.

  • He is funny...he's a natural.

  • Maybe he has a talent as an actor? He's still a comedian, maybe not as quick-witted-funny as Ricky Gervais, but he's still clown-like. He'd make a good Court Jester in the Middle Ages!

  • ive seen a couple comedians snigger after a delivery like lee evans,russell howard and russell peters. its good to think your jokes and the concept of your jokes are funny.

  • Mate, Lenny Henry has been making thousands and thousands of People laugh for a few Decades. Thats not to be scoffed at.

  • But not anymore.

  • If you don't like him, you don't have to, but don't bother trying to diss others who do, no one gives a rats ass what you think.

  • Tough. It's for comments and I commented.

  • Well well! you are quite the smart ass little boy aren't you. Its getting late now, probably way past your bed time, I think I hear your Mum calling you to get your nappy changed. Bye bye little boy!

  • If I was his writer Id probably be a millionaire by now considering the huge success hes had, so your so called put-down is quite flat isnt it? Your level of Wit is certainly non-existant.

  • It was a rebuking to you saying I must have written his Gags, so I think you may want to rethink what you last wrote there.Your jibes are in any way intimidating to me. I have no interest whatsoever in knowing you, all I did was offer an opposing view on Lenny Henry, whom I happen to think is one of the funniest Comedians around (and as hes so successful for some decades now, obviously Millions out there would agree with me). If you dont like him, fine, you dont have to.

  • soeffingwhat: If you check this like of comments, it was you who felt the need to be personally insulting to me after I made clear my right to comment negatively about Lenny Henry.

    I never said you wrote his gags, I explained that you could not have become a millionaire by doing so. Neither do I wish to intimidate anyone, but I'll not allow personal jibes to go unchallenged.

    Be clear, this is for comments, both positive and negative. Simple. And I consider him fake.

  • Thats a fair enough point, lets leave it at that then.

  • He IS funny mate

  • Yeah as funny as a pie gag.

  • yes, everyone who lives in Dudley are inspired by the place so much that they want leave to seek a better life somewhere else.

  • somehow parky doesn;t seem to enjoy it that much... I thought it was awesome!!

  • His humour is quite gentle compared to modern comedy. modern comedy is brash, nasty and offensive.

    Lenny's humour is very old school. But i prefer old school humour.

  • I completely agree Lenny when just talking in an interview is a genuinly funny and interesting guy but his stand up routine is pretty standard fare he is stil unique as britains only recognised black comedien but his humour is still based on the child of immigratnts and his experiances therin, mixed with some awful impersonations (beyonce,50 cent)it hasnt matured along with him, what was funny a hell then isnt realy funny now.

  • I kind of thought the 50 Cent impression was perfect, it's only the material that wasn't great. However, the Beyonce impression made me want to hurl! God Awful! but his Jay-Z was not all that bad- Off and on. I did get a chuckle from the idea of that Snoop Dog impression (drop it like it's hot video.) I have never died laughing while watching Lenny Henry. I do consider myself a fan but not of his humor...just his personality. I like the guy! Although, needs a better writer for his material.

  • Lenny's mom was awesome and such a loved lady.. very missed. Dudley is brill and its inhabitants are pricelss! I had 5 funerals in one year once and I get this LOL Made me cry with laughter!

  • lol

  • That was hilarious!

  • DON'T LET SATAN UP YOUR NIIIIGHTIIIE!

    OMG HAHAHA! xxx

  • omg im crying with laughter!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • Lenny Henry is an awesome Comedian!!

  • Says the person who makes no sense.

  • I must put this simply, so the retards out there can understand it.

    Why, if you hate Lenny Henry so much, do you post your shite on one of his videos?

    If you have an opinion write to fucking points of view, you stupid cunts.

  • Dnt dis lenny henry son

  • first of all learn to spell before ranting mate , you end up looking retarded

  • Your comment to this video is what a turd is to a swimming pool.

  • LOL!!

  • When Jesus puts His Reeboks on,

    To run the Holy race

    They may test Him for drugs

    But He'll be clean because

    He's trained by God!

    Everybody!

    Trained by God,

    Trained bt God!

    Jesus is trained by God!

    A good gospel:)

    love ya nan sleep tight xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • Bless you!!!

  • Yeah I thought that was fucking funny Asparagoose that line. Only Lenny could do that and make it funny. Class Act.

  • Why is this guy almost unknown in the USA. I lived in Britain in the 80's and I loved his shows. To this day most Yanks have never heard of him.

  • "Chef" was the show absolutely fabulous

  • Lenny was visiting my college just today. It was quite extraordinary. I'm not kidding.

  • "my mum's funeral, it was like live aid, there were so many people there. there were people at the back of the crowd going, when's shaggy coming on?" ha ha, that was great :) i should look at my mum's with such sense of humour ;)

  • lol

  • jesus is trained by god. love itx

  • I like it when Lenny Henry sings about 'hitting the devil with a big fat baseball bat' in this video. It makes me laugh when he sings it.

  • How did this cute video clip prompt such a hateful response from you. It seems like you are the one who is aggressive and have a chip on your shoulder.

  • We removed it.

    BBCWorldwide

  • What do you mean "We removed it?"

  • Hi There,

    That was a response to ILoveJeeves who had referred to an offensive comment by a user who is now blocked from this site.

    Thanks,

    BBCWorldwide

  • Is he though? surely thats just the face he puts on, or one of them anyways.
