  • I saw him live in 1992. His show was two hours and forty five minutes long! And funny all the way through.

  • i was on the verge of suicide, and then i saw this video and decided i had something to live for. long live gallagher

  • white people are funny

  • @datdereduck That's you're opinion.

  • Y'all wanna smash some fruit?!

  • 1:46... a little slow on the up take

  • i love this. love the zen position

  • My left ear enjoyed this.

  • The couch isnt big hes just small

  • @brucelee6790 Good old sarcasm eh?

  • @brucelee6790 It's a form of comedy called "Prop Comedy". Prop Comedy is a type of comedy relating to using any properties or "props". It's a visual aspect pretty much.

  • @KissMeImPunk oh thanks for letting me know what prop comedy is

  • @KissMeImPunk now that i know what prop comedy is it's funny

  • @brucelee6790 You might like his ever so famous watermelon smashing bit then. Basically plants a watermelon on a stool and smashes it to pieces with a hammer. That's why you see so many people with a coat to get it on them.

  • does he have a website?

  • great, great comedian.

  • I want that couch.

  • I found out that this was made in 1983 (I thought it was made in 1978), so I was like 2, 3 years old when this was made, so yeah, this is of my time. I grew up watching this guy!

  • Gallagher has always been one of my all-time favorite comedians, and I wasn't even born during his time! Less talk, more sledge! LOLz!

  • I used to do all that shit on my own trampoline when i was twelve.

  • I never understood why some people hate Gallagher. It's totally bizarre to me. The man is so talented. He should be a box office hit and yet this country pretends to laugh at comedians doing movies like The Hangover. Total fail. Edit |

  • this fucker is funny right here ! one of my favorite comedians !

  • i love how the chip is bigger then the hair dryer...

  • I WANT THAT COUCH!!!!!!! lol

    

  • I freaked out when I saw Gallgher run on screen on TOSH 4.0 from out of nowhere. Funny stuff!

  • how the fuck can you dislike Gallagher? Stupid kids.

  • whats 1:44? a condom?

  • "Mom can you buy me a couch like that?"

  • HAAAA HAAAA HAAAAA! NOW THIS IS COMEDY! HAAA HAA HAAAHHHH. LOOK AT MY KFC FUELED BELLY WHEN I LAUGH!!!! THAT BILL HICKS IS SOOO BITTER.

  • Imagine all of the money between and underneath the cushions....

  • I like the part where he jumps on the couch.

  • The show that had this big couch was one of the best, but the beginning was better than the couch sequence. I bought 2 of his tapes and was disappointed. The ones I taped myself are the best shows. One tape worked ok and the other one had bad audio and couldn't hear him. I hear he's still performing - hope so. I'm still a fan and looking for DVD's of the good shows.

  • I got a neighbor who looks just exactly like him

  • @dreadbet Pissing off starving Somalians- that's edgy and innovative!

  • This reminds me of the kid show "the big comfy couch"

  • @ellenlauraa don't worry I'm pretty sure it is lol

  • he says some joke about how his parents anniversary is exactly 9 months after his birthday or something like that... something along those lines. maybe he said it was his kids... anyone know?

  • didnt laugh once but got the humor

  • Still one of my favorite moments after all these years.  "Ready, down......ZEN! "

  • @jorcutt118 Hahahaha, yeah.

  • whats funny is how many hits this video is going to get in the next couple of days

  • Get well soon Gallagher.

  • @TheValidity101 He is alive, it was just a minor heart attack.

  • That couch could double as a bank

  • HE AIN'T DEAD

  • isnt the same couch from "The BIG Comfy Couch"?!

  • @boog3188 nah, the big comfy couch had style, it was a pretty couch

  • @CrazyGameCollector= He's alive. He's just in the hospital.

  • He was in sick shape for an old stoner.

  • this is the corniest comedian i have ever seen, but he is still funny

  • Hahaha the guy at 1:46 didnt get it at first

  • Now that's old school.

  • 328 knew going in, it was Gallagher.

  • i would do anything for that couch

  • @SweetPawsMcGenty well it is the redneck carrot top. what do you expect?

    i persoanaly love him but everyone is diferent

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OMFG A GIANT COUCH!!!! THAT IS SO FUCKING FUNNY!!!

  • @GODDAMNSASQUATCH IT IS THE FUNNIEST SHIT I HAVE EVER SEEN!

  • Gallagher, if you happen to be reading this, I want you to know something: Even though you lost the respect of your family in the lawsuit against Ron, you will NEVER lose the love and respect of your fans. That you can be sure of.

  • He got paid to do that! To just screw around and have fun. What a genius.

  • Zen!

  • I'd like to have a mattress couch like that! Can you imagine the size bed that could come out of something like that?!

  • the baby has you

  • ..One day...I will get a couch just like that one, but in a different color and fabric. It is gonna be sweet.

  • I wish I could find the entire Gallgher collection on DVD. He's hilarious!!

  • @InDeAskY1 Me too!!! I don't understand why some of his performances are not on dvd???? He is part of pop culture some might not think he is a great comedian, but to me, I grew up watching his stuff, like Pee Wee Herman.. Gallagher is awesome!!!

  • @samuraiyao I grew up watching Gallagher and Jim Varney. They were really the only two funny men I liked. They have Gallagher on VHS but I would wear them out. I try to find these two on DVD whenever possible. I like how Gallagher perceives the real world. It's so funny.

  • His website sells 2 VHS tapes of his shows. 2 problems though. The first one was not one of his best shows and the second one has tremendous noise in the audio so was useless. They only cost $5 a piece though....

  • Gallagher rocks!

  • I would have an orgy on it! Yeah!

  • the arm-to-arm jump was epic!

  • DO WANT!!

  • i wonder where i can buy one

    hopefully ones with giant pull out beds

  • Style.

  • Why isn't anyone making giant couches like this???? I know I wouldn't be the only one buying one....

    Gallagher's Comedy? Not so much.

  • ohhh watch out ninja assassin look at HIS moves!

  • LOL LOOK AT ALL THOSE BIG ITEMS IN THAT BIG COUCH!!! FUCK

  • He is funny no matter what era. Don't know what that fool was sayin. when he gets into his actual comedy he is hilarious.

  • sweet, i'd love a couch like that!

  • i love his routines god i hope he still does this I want a front row seat

  • love these videos, love gallagher and the big couch is hilarious for those who have a sense of humour

  • I was a kid in the 80s and for some reason I assumed the people who were fans of Gallagher then were mostly computer industry people from Silicon Valley. I have no idea why I thought this other than I was in grade school.

  • Also, the real gallagher (who won the lawsuit) is the only one legally allowed to grow a mustache! Really!

  • this type of comedy was funny back at that time in history, todays comedy people want nothing then Sex jokes,Tons of Cursing,and stupidness. i hate all todays comedians they are not funny, even robin williams stuff got stale last year when i saw him in San Diego Weapons mass Destruction TOur. Gallagher is cool cause he has fun while performing,doesnt cry if he doesnt make the Big bucks like ALOT of other Comedians. oh yea VIp for Gallagher at Club Nokia!

  • he is a genius and if you think he is not think about this,,.Do you get to go in front of a shitload of ppl and just play for a cpl hours and make the big bucks?Thought not.So ya see he is a Genius.

  • @BigEasy2979 poor reasoning

    business CEO's dont need to get infront of people for any hours.

    the true point is. do you get to smash fruit and make big bucks

  • @shizumaoo you make no sense.The comment i made on this video was forever agao and it was saying how great he is....How bout reading up to date posts and not worry about shit ppl say months prior.

  • I don't understand the insane amount of dislikes, I mean, all he is doing is trying to entertain, no need to hate.

  • MY COUCH!!

  • This was low point in comedy in the 80's.

  • seein him tonight!!!

  • this is probably what carrot top wishes he was

  • I've heard that there are TWO Gallaghers and they look very much alike (because they are brothers). How do we know which is the real Gallagher?

  • The real Gallagher is the only one that preforms. Ron Gallagher his brother lost the law suit which does not allow him to copyright his brother Leo, the real Gallagher!

  • @soldoutshows I've done some reading up on the subject and you are correct, however it seems that his brother did (with Leo's permission and with conditions) start to do an act that over time became almost indistinguishable from the real Gallagher's act, and this resulted in a lawsuit that ended in the younger brother not being allowed to perform as Gallagher. FWIW.

  • @soldoutshows or have a mustach anymore

  • @soldoutshows

    and as a result the real gallagher is disowned by his family as they sided with his brother during the lawsuit.

  • @soldoutshows What?

  • @soldoutshows the fact that there are two is hilarious

  • THAT'S SOOO FUNNY ITS A GIANT POTATO CHIP!!11!!!11!!!!!! OH MY GOD HE'S JUMPING ON A GIANT COUCH- THAT IS GEEEEENIUS! GALLAGHER IS TRULY THE GREATEST COMEEDIAN!

  • @spartan2600 Am I sensing sarcasm here? If yes, I completely agree ;)

  • @crazygoat85 - The couch was not the best part of the show. The first half hour was the best part. I taped it in the 80's and still appreciate it today. But some of his other shows were not as good as this one. Too bad we can't buy that show on DVD.

  • @spartan2600 One teensy little detail I would've added to the chip: make it juuuuuust a bit moldy!

  • looks fuuuuuun!

  • you crazy son of a bitch!

  • That will never fit in my living room. lol.

  • large gallagher couch

  • Gallagher is coming to Gathering of the Juggalos 2010 bitch!

  • @nintendojuggalo Whoop whoop!!!

  • this man is the "awesome-mest" ..... is that a word?

  • those items are not to scale

  • i love having the last name gallagher. lol

  • @terry513

    "is the crack monster puking crack at everyone"

    That would cost extra.

  • @blazingjavi im 17, i went to see him Tonight at the Comedy Caravan in Louisville, and he was hilarious.(my opinion)

  • Gallagher will be performing at Gramercy Theatre in NYC on 10/29. Tickets are availble on TIcketmaster. Hope to see you there!

  • I like how everyone thinks people don't like Gallagher because he doesn't curse or tell nasty jokes. Ever hear of Bill Cosby? he was never dirty but he was amazingly successful. you know why? he was actually funny.

  • @OneMic91 Yeah, sure a giant condom isn't "nasty". *End sarcasm*

  • genius =] jealous of his couch!

  • lmao... zen

  • This was GREAT!!! Brings back memories, and still makes me laugh to this day!!!

  • Best. Couch. EVAH!

  • ...wonder if he ever let go of "Sledge-o-matic"?

  • So, 25 years later, where is this couch? Do you think it got torn up for scrap, or is it in Gallagher's pool cabana now??

  • I would smoke so much weed in that couch, and then my buddies would lose so much more money in it so i can buy more weed

  • dont break your arm lol

  • Gallagher always had the most fun specials.

  • he's one of the few 1980's treasures

  • Jumping on a trampoline, incredible.

  • Gallagher was and still is a class act.

  • oh my god hes like a wizard or something

  • i would sleep on it forever

  • lol i would kill for that couch

  • LOL! The "thong" is a boogie board!

  • He should light one of those matches!

  • What I want is just a normal size couch with that awesome monster puppet so I could have it just randomly pop out at people who sat down.

  • i miss this guy. he's 63 now and he definitely needs a comeback

  • @SilencedStar he was on the opie and anthony show today

    check out opieradio's account for the vid

  • @CherylLLove Finally someone who isnt a retard or 12 yr old kid. how can people not think this is funny? Its a big ass couch! did they say "this fucking sucks" because he didn't start the show with "this is a big fucking ass motherfucking couch!"

  • Feel the same here.

  • @CherylLLove EXACTLY! I think this guy is a riot! I think a lot of the GREATS of today have stolen from Gallahger, he probably would never say that, but I , as a fan, can. Only they gotta add the word FUCK to the material and make it as 2050ish or as TODAY as they can.

  • comedy hasn't changed, it has been flooded with so many copy cats that even the most original material seems copied from itself.

  • it looks like that childrens tv show. remember? the one with the big ass couch?? what was the name of it?

  • the big comfy couch lol

  • It's called "the big comfy couch"...no seriously.

  • Comedy sure has changed.

  • @djmarkcotter how old is he nowadays?

  • @djmarkcotter If he was that awesome, he wouldn't be playing in Ionia...

  • I just went to one of his shows and had front row seats. Shit definitely went flyin(:

  • THIS. IS. COMEDY.

  • i love this man! (:

  • No, chucklebunny.... It's COMEDY!

  • I... WANT...ONE

  • I jumped on a couch when I was two.

  • i love him

  • Wow he does a lot more physical comedy rather that telling jokes in this one.

  • nice hops

  • My mom used to watch Gallagher when I was little. This transports me right back to childhood.

  • Comment removed

  • i saw gallagher yestardy

  • To those who cant look past the Up Front humor of today, this humor is that of making a point. If you found stuff under your cushions or you used to jump on couch's because you found it fun you'd understand what he's doing. Its also a type of humor of a guy his age doing childish things.

  • Yes :D your correct i laughed just because of that "Dont put your butt over your head"

  • i guess people think if a comedian ain't telling nasty jokes, then he ain't funny. i think gallagher's hilarious, personally.

  • thats the same couch they use on the kids show Big Comfy Couch

  • no its not

  • Well, I'd have to disagree since people are talking about it, but to each their own.

  • A BIG OL' CRAYNNN

  • I grew up watching his videos!!! This shit is funny!!!

  • Yeah it's weird- I grew up with his standups (Melon Crazy and Overboard are favorites) and think he is an incredibly intelligent, politically astute guy who is underrated because so many people misunderstand the concept behind him smashing food (which was meant to be satire, and the audience loved it so much he kept it up).

    So I don't know if it's that misunderstanding that makes him bitter and kind of a dick behind the scenes or whatever, but he really kind of seems to be.

  • Yes, well remember this Krispy: 99.9%comedians are extremely misserable people in their personal lives. They often suffer from severe depression and turn to comedy and heavy drug use in order to feel good. There are countless numbers of Well Known Comedians who have a reputation of being total ass holes off stage. SO yes, this would explain Gallagher's infamous reputaion of being a total prick.
