[SirCliveCalculator]

The clue is in the question.

[wwwonderful]

there you go...scientific proof.....it takes 4:19 for your cheeks to ache from laughter..xD

[alexmcphail1000]

one person is an ass

[TheCaulfield1]

I am literally CRYING WITH LAUGHTER!!!!!!!

Les Dawson was one of the funniest men ever on TV.

He was definately the best presenter of Blankety Blank...I only watched it because he was the best one.

[funkybandit]

les dawson for a posthumous knighthood, vote up if you agree

[GhostAholics]

OMG!! Just came home and had an urge to watch Les Dawson....I live overseas and really really miss British comedy, but sad to say, it does not get better than Les Dawson and/or comedy from the 70's n 80's in the UK...only in the 90's did we have comedy like "Men Behaving Badly" and ''Mr.Bean'' that came anywhere close.

RIP Les....really miss seeing you on TV!!

[TRUMPER007]

Les was one of the funniest comedians of all time. We miss you!

[kmp3000]

[WilliamMorris]

This is so funny

[leyubar]

What is the punchline? I can't hear it

[frankenstrudel]

And a voice said: "It's bloody marvelous what an education can do for ya."

[shitamerica1]

AN anagram of mother-in-law is "Woman Hitler."

My mother-in-law was so mean she blinded herself just to get a free dog.

Last week my wife and I went to buy a car and the salesman asked if I wanted an airbag. I said "No thanks. I already have a mother-in-law."

[criticalbill1983]

I once read, that a comedian is not a person telling funny jokes, but is a funny person telling jokes. This clip is the best example of that. The joke Les Dawson is telling isn`t really that good but what makes it so funny(and it is because I have tears rolling down my cheeks as I type this lol)is that its Les Dawson that makes the joke funny, thats what makes the man so great!

[smurfyboypauluk]

I have tried to tell people that joke so many times. Fact is, only Les could do that one.

[mfealy]

Totally agree.. Les was pure comic genius RIP les

[TheWisemonkey8]

lol... oh my goodness... golden comic.

[mfealy]

RIP Les a true entertainer!

[b6gm6n]

wow, he really was amazing, funny man, natural goodness and charm there.

[davide453]

For some reason, I like the part best when Les says (as the wife): 'Give it 'ere. Stupid.'

[bandrakehead]

What a man - timeless whit and repartie! RIP Les.

[drkimy]

Just looking at his face makes me laugh.

RIP Les.

[LeighHobnob]

[BlackBacon44]

Unfortunately, the recollection of this gag caused my friend and I to struggle to keep our faces straight as we took his son's christening cande at the service!!

[allenjeremy]

The set for Blankety Blank in the clip is very colourful, it's a pity it was only used for one series.
