Billy Connolly

[spegangles]

Ye finished that interview brilliantly Big Man!

[MsMystica5]

Man...I love and adore Big Yin, but I can't bear watching this american shit where that host try to sound scottish and where they censor out the fuck's. Fucking fuck, damn it!

[DofS1]

@MsMystica5

He"s Canadian, NOT American.

[TheDaleDenton]

@DofS1 yeah, we're not all proud of him

[misfitstattoo]

@TheDaleDenton You are a loyalist I am guessing, If so you are a traitor and you do not have the right to call you'reself Scottish.

[DontBeADingBat420]

@misfitstattoo SCUM!

[TheDaleDenton]

@misfitstattoo I was talking about George. I'm Canadian. Part Scottish though.

[misfitstattoo]

@TheDaleDenton Sorry dude, misunderstanding,

[TheDaleDenton]

@misfitstattoo s'all good man

[MsMystica5]

@DofS1 Oh, okey. But that does'nt make it any better. ^^

[korkiwi]

Whats the point of censoring curse words when estimating 95% of people know what word was censored.

[fuzil8]

So... Jesus comes from Yoshua (Hibrew)... not Mexican! But, i have to say that was funny!

[LibertyAtYourService]

@fuzil8

Christ.

Billy KNOWS its not a Mexican word. Its a JOKE. He's a COMEDIAN. That's what he DOES. JESSSSUUSSSS!!!!

[rugbyanden]

Peter Popoff though

[RosesofWillows]

if they bleeped out every bad word billy says in his comedy, the specials would result in sounding like a very funked up ringtone.

[barnesinger]

may some please search barnesinger and see my sons video ty

[korkiwi]

@barnesinger It is wrong to ask people to go and watch your sons videos. If you want views let the people come on their own. What you just did was try to advertise a video through another videos comments, and people do not like that.

[Salha7]

"Poet and comedians are there to say the unsayable" Very true.

[thepunisher089]

Funniest man alive...

[zeppirl]

legend, best comedian of all time...love to have a pint with billy connolly

[ytconvert]

@zeppirl he doesnt drink, have y read his biographies? they are very good

[zeppirl]

@ytconvert must look them up. thx

[ytconvert]

@zeppirl was an alcoholic, gave it up to save his marriage after the birth of his child, i could be wrong but i think that is how it played out, its in his first biography, His current wife wrote both of them.

[Link512]

i think billy connolly and george carlin are the two great kings of comedy

[stevenmccaw]

What a retarded commentator. "probably the biggest thing to come out of scotland"? Bigger in what sense, was it an attempt at humour? Talk about dumbed down censorship at its worst! Probably the most idiotic Billy Connoly clip on youtube. Well fucking done.

[LJGB1]

'Scottish' has two T's.

Change that description, you look like idiots.

[14razer14]

billy rules i own all his stand ups

[jessydaytime]

I took my husband to see him on is B Day. We loved the show.

[PopeKurt]

No part 2?

[ProtestantIRA]

He forgot about Boondock Saints!

[Shesnoin]

Way to go Billy - you make people laugh but your message is clear - the people that take everything so serious they can't see humour in the reality is missing out. Life is hard enough - he knows that - he has compassion but sometimes seeing the humour in something actually makes it more real and achievable, able to face and get through.

[gracefulangels]

Billy carries this interview all the way...he is fantastic. I wish he could live forever!

[jkzl1008]

I love how the bleep hits more of the -dreary- than the -fuckin- Ha ha!

[jaffax1]

George Strombolopolopolopolis is a very dull little man. Why does CBC still employ him?

[Stringprodigy]

He's less dull than you.

[jaffax1]

@Stringprodigy Ooh, a George fan, sorry princess!

[BloggerMusicMan]

@jaffax1

I don't think he's dull, but when you put anyone next to Billy Connolly, they look pretty dull by comparisson.

[Elefant95]

563421094 whoever you are, that don't suprise me at all.

[563421094]

I think Billy was a town cryer in a previous life............

[Elefant95]

I was watching the Billy Connolly Journey Around The World programme, i only had to see him by the guys cutting down trees ( his hair style ) & you can't stop me laughing, if you were using all your effort.

[freekicking85]

Whats the point in the bleeping, im more offended when they bleep than when they swear.

[squigglycircle]

It's funny though when they do it wrong like at 1:53, they're bleeping dr**ry instead of the other word.

[manicmacintosh]

Dreary isn't a swear word.

[SiliconBong]

I'm glad they got his nationality right, he's not english, he's Scottish YaY

I'm also thrilled he mentions a New Zealand city: Dunedin :)

And the bleeping does offend me too, freekicking85.

Have a nice day !

[FriedEggsInTheSky]

Hmm, being billy

[billyconnearly]

I've got the 2nd best job in the world! I get paid to impersonate BILLY!! I do a stand-up show with stories from my rock band past, banjo and gags old and new!

[iamdeathmarine]

whats the firs best job in teh world?

[leokearse]

What's with the lame canned laughter on this interview? Seeing the Big Yin on the 26th Jan, my girlfriend got me tickets for my birthday.

Scotland has produced some shit hot comedians: Billy Connolly, Frankie Boyle, Jerry Sadowitz. Piss all over Jason Monford and Michael MacIntyre

[longbendy81]

Billy would be beeped on a daytime show in the UK. However, evening in the UK is very different. Mainstream channels can have pretty much everything (and to be fait have always had) Fuck first said on daytime TV by John Lydon in 1976 (who was the second to say the "C" word on a Jungle reality TV programme 30 years later) ALl mainstream TV.

Billy has always sworn like a trooper, but I have never found it offensive. LIke he says in the interview, it's all about intent

[anne241163]

Same birthday as me??? Happy birthday to us!

[wryter93]

I've been watching Billy for over 20 years! THE BEST comedian... a legend! I'm waiting for him to be knighted! (Though, knowing Billy, he wouldn't think much of it)

[MrWingnut11]

Im from fair Glasgow and believe me the big yin IS a legend!

[Janusha]

Oh for fucks sake.... Americans and their fucking BEEPs.

[DeathToAllReligions]

Canadians, fuckwad. THE HOUR is a Canadian show.

[The8thDOCTOR]

i would love to hear Bill's thoughts on Bill O'Reilly

[TQ120]

The interviewer, who ever he is, spends the whole time bent over forwards obviously bowing in honor of the great one in front of him. Billy sits up right and confident. The body language is great.

Wipes his nose and sniffs.

[boylebhoy2007]

I think the interviewer looks completely terrified. He looks nervous because he's interviewing a man who's a million times more popular and loved than he'll ever be! =)

[LewAntJon]

That's a bit unfair. Obviously Billy's a bigger star than he is but he's just doing a job. At least he's giving Billy the respect he deserves, alot of interviewers at his level talk more about themselves than the guest!

[leninlikersclone]

Billy is the greatest comedian to have ever lived, but this interviewer was just fucking irritating.

[happykid112399]

that interviewer realy pissed me off

[hippymango]

He makes me so happy!

[Nogert]

he has a very uplifting aura, i think it's because he always seems happy :)

[TonyStarkMkIII]

have you read the first biography by Pam?

He definitely didn't used to be a happy person, but think he's mainly dealt with it by now

He's actually my hero

[buckhysen]

Same here. To go through what he did in childhood and his bad upbringing, and come out as funny as he is, the way he speaks and his enthusiasm for life, he should be an inspiration to everyone! I mean how many 60+ year old's are there out there who do as much as Billy does, bungee jumps, tours the World, etc and still has a laugh doing it?

The guy's a legend!

[TonyStarkMkIII]

You just hit the nail there, sir :)

If I'm sad I listen to him and an hour later I'm shitting rainbows

[adraim69]

@buckhysen I hear that dude. But as a point of interest, I think most really funny people... certainly most successful comedians, come from a shitty upbringing or else have been exposed to a lot of cruelty and pain in their life. Comedy is a defense mechanism people employ to deal with what's fucked up in this world, and on average, when you get under the surface of someone incredibly funny, they're usually disillusioned, if not outright depressed.

[royquinn1]

I erred on the amount. I think it is one hundred million dollars, annually. I'm sure some birkenstock, volvo driving CBC lover will correct me. Either way. The CBC has got to go.

[AJprofsr]

Get out of Canada then. Horrible place isn't it?

[royquinn1]

Wow. Now there is a reasonable solution! On second thought, maybe I'll simply try to reverse Government waste with my vote.

[LewAntJon]

It's not government waste, but use your vote how you will...

[LewAntJon]

Piss off south of the border and enjoy your shitty, free-market television.

[royquinn1]

See reply to "AJprofsr"...

[royquinn1]

Point of interest. The CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) is paid for (to the tune of One Billion Dollars annually) by Canadian taxpayers. Was this decent entertainment by a good comic and likeable host? Yes. Am I happy to be forced to pay for it with my tax dollars? No.

[LewAntJon]

Organisations like the CBC and BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) are vital and need to be tax-funded if we want to maintain standards. If you need proff of this, watch 20 minutes of British TV and compare it with 20 minutes of (mainly commercial) US TV. And don't even get me started on the ravages of "free"-market healthcare...

[DeathToAllReligions]

Canadian and British TV: The gov't has their claws in the media.

US TV: Private industry has its claws in the media.

In either case, you have shitty TV. Enjoy your hair-splitting contest.

[perfumeangel]

i agree with so much of the end of that interview, i laugh at all his stuff no matter what its about and no matter what religion he is taking the piss out of at the time i am from Ireland i love billy to bits ......billy u rock babe xxxxxxx

[Sorcoral]

if only the interview was longer

[TheShakers2]

Great :)

[MrJimthejock]

sammymfc,,,

dont be a fucking dick your whole life,,take a wee day aff son!!

[sammymfc1]

love it when huns try to pass themselves  off as iintellectual...because we all know they are as thick as shite,

[mehercle100]

That's right , pal .

It's a well known fact that those on the opposite side of the sectarian divide are congenitally stupid .

Oh , and they're ugly and smell !

P.S. What is the preferred sectarian epithet to describe you and your pals ? I'll have to throw it in to show how intelligent I am .

[ryanxboxlive]

yes, because a comment like that makes you seem like a pure Mathhew keats.

What an idiot you are.

[mehercle100]

Who could possibly find his , or your , comments "sectarian" ?

I must clearly be misunderstanding these humanitarian statements .

Thank you for your kind wishes for me to "get well soon" from my"sad" condition of Presbyterianism .

How could anyone misconstrue such philanthropic generosity with sectarian bile ?

I am truly mystified !

[TheVideoPirate1]

hahahaaha you are just proving his point about how synical and dreary you are, haha

[mehercle100]

Possibly true , but tell that to the judge when it's an aggravating circumstance to whatever crime you might have committed .

[TheVideoPirate1]

hahaha, ive broken the majority of laws, try and find me BIATCH!!

[mehercle100]

Any more stereotypes you want to share with us ?

You're painting such a fine picture of your "community" .

[mehercle100]

I notice that he doesn't come out with his sectarian bile about Scottish Presbyterians when he's actually in Scotland and 3/4 of the population might be a tad offended .

How brave and "transgressive" !

[broonbreed]

I know Billy (haven`t seen him for years) and he is not sectarian...he don`t give a monkeys for religious bile. He would think of your comment as `a tad` stupid. He is a comedian...he don`t give a shit about you and the likes of you who `may be` offended. Get a life and a sense of humour...Lifes too short my friend... I take it you are part of that 3/4 of the aforementioned `sad` population ??

......If you are, get well soon.

[wryter93]

I LOVE BILLY!! Been watching him since the 80's. Yes, I do really love his work and the way he views life. He pushes the envelope, love it! I'm impatient for a new CD~!

[jodharry]

OMG, he looks like Colonel Sanders of KFC in this one!!

[wotmeworry333123456]

ok people.

nevermind the retarded chat between.......nit wits like you.........is there ANYBODY WHO REALLY ADMIRES HIS WORK.

duhhhhhhhhhhh.

[plocke45]

You are a dumb Yank

[bornintheighties]

learn to spell dickhead

[wotmeworry333123456]

learn to spell asswipe

[livemoonbday]

lucky i dont have a tub.... oh i mean a tube

[hawjhawj68]

Billy Connolly!

Now, bleeping out the word "fuck" on Canadian television? What? I thought Canadian telly was so much more lassez-faire, compared with U.S. telly? I don't get it? Maybe because it aired at an early hour of the day or something?

[Lancion]

This was two years ago, its pretty slack now. I hear a lot of f bombs on tv now. Im not sure if something happened recently that its like 'ok to do' now.

[flyscreen99]

billy turns a crap interview into something worth watchin

[ancestralblue]

Connoly is GREAT!!!

[coatbridgemadman]

i,d luv 2 smack th jaw aff th presenters gub!!!  but Billy runs th show !!!!

[senseit2007]

Trust me - Most Canadians would love to hit George too.

[SiliconBong]

LoL

[outmycoconut]

lool. think sum1 needs glasses lol

[SiliconBong]

umm, Y.

[outmycoconut]

um fuck you

[outmycoconut]

lol dono man was stoned as fuck early on lol

[SiliconBong]

That's ok.

*gives you double handful of weed*

"Just drop it on the vapouriser"

[outmycoconut]

*gets stoned as fuck*

"thats sum good cyber weed man"

[SiliconBong]

I used to watch Billy Connelly on a television that was smaller than the computer moniter i'm using now.

*tokes and gets beyond words*

[sonortubelug]

who's the yank.

[Moosaroo]

The funniest man on the planet

[bobmaclean666]

some tit can't spell Scottish hahaha

[SiliconBong]

13:07 Sunshine !

[TheElfWhoShotJFK]

The mans a genius.

[SiliconBong]

You are the coolest person in the world.

I have never heard *any one* say they love dunedin in my entire life.

(maybe because I live close to Dunedin, hmmm;that may have something to do with it : LOL )

[TimeWarp66]

Johny Depp totally copied this guy for pirates of the caribian

[racer500gp]

That's because Johnny Depp will NEVER be an Errol Flynn. He's a typical pretty-boy-no-talent, just like 99.9% of Hollywood today. Errol Flynn was a real actor with more character and life experience under his belt by the time he was 15 than Depp will ever have in his entire life. Flynn WAS the pirate, Depp copied it...very poorly.

[TimeWarp66]

Johny Depps actually very talented.

[AustralianHPfan]

i thought jonny depp copied the guy from rolling stones or sumthing

[VoodooChileJ11]

Keith Richards, and he did

[AustralianHPfan]

thats the one, thnx

they even got him to play a cameo in 'at worlds end'

[Soladrin]

why do people bother cencoring billy?

[Janusha]

because they are americans.

[MrsToeava]

hahaha dunedin lol...i so couldnt live there! i like auckland lol

[FishinMichigan]

hahahahaha!

[liamaf]

dunedin is not a dreary town but it does have lots of drizzel. i chould know i live there. otherwise its great

[andiejanefisher]

Love the way they bleeped out "dreary" but not "fucking"

[AustralianHPfan]

lol i got that too very funny

[Maggiedee14]

George is a great interviewer..his bio's are well researched. The Hour is an amazing show, he has intelligent questions and makes his guests feel very comfortable. The hour is CANADIAN.

I have followed Billy's comedy for years. I have seen him live numerous times. He has a natural twitch, can't stay still, no drugs...he is BRILLIANT. The BEST comedian ever. We love you Billy.

[jonscul]

Met Billy last night after his "Too old to Die young" show in Belfast, a truly great show, incredibly nice man to talk with, a real gentleman!

[jumbowhite]

The older stuff is the best.

[kfm46]

Please take your trade elsewhere.

[TheCocaQueen]

I love him so much.

[247dexter247]

Notice the way he snifs, and wipes his nose near the end....... cocaine, i suppose you need at least that much to make it though a shitty interview before crumbling....

[strackmfc]

lol nah have u ever came to scotland? u'd be having a runny nose after a while coz of the weather ;)

[bolexdude]

No, it's the equivalent of a nervous twitch he has. Nothing to do with coke.

[acs1978au]

The irony of this is that hes only had 646 views where as some of the fuking ufo and alien conspiracy theory videos have half a million views. I'm sure Billy would approve.....

[karenball]

mark7507

It was a Canadian interviewer and a brilliant one at that.PLEASE never mistake us for Americans.We do get Billy Connolly and he is funny as hell

[mark7507]

beig scottish,there is nothing worse than watching the great billy connolly interviewed by an american.its terrible,americans just dont get the humor they dont understand it.billy acts different when hes in american tv cause u have to be fake over there to get anywere.fukin pathetic

american humor is fukin the worlds worst

[livardo]

What exactly did you object to? Or had you already made your mind up about the interview due to your presumptions and hatred for America? George is a masterful interviewer, check out other videos. (This is a Canadian show by the way)

[mclay2oo7]

true.true, they canny even say "yin" right

[buddybopper]

You're an idiot..

[johntuohy]

yeah, Billy's joke-"he's the one that performs murkles" was wasted on the useless bollocks, like he thought Billy was actually trying to describe the evangelist to the audience or something, "oh he's huge!" fuck off strombo ye obnoxious cunt!

[Ryguy1812]

I'm not even sure about that reference and i even tried looking it up. Can you enlighten us?

[johntuohy]

at 8:35 on, he makes a joke about Ernest Ainsley being the one that performs "murkles" rather than miracles. Granted it's not a terribly hilarious joke, Strombo completely misses it and assumes that Billy is trying to explain who Ainsley is. That just sticks out to me. Overall I think that Strombo is just useless interviewer, Billy could more or less do the whole bit by himself, and this prick seems to just interfere with his useless tid bits.

[Eagles1978]

Thanks for including the Bio. I wish you did that with all the vids. Never the less, thanks for the upload.

[Lynnae4525]

Windchimes!! HILARIOUS!

[matros22]

I love this guy!
