@thegreypigeon LOL looking at what you call entertainment....I think best you rather STFU...... Billy is a legend, and will always be, and he is that without you, HOWEVER some of things you like....... such as "Jordan Rudess - Silent Mountain" the only people liking shyte like that, is the only reason those people continue to annoy people that find true class acts like Billy one 1 in a lifetime. In other words stick to that shyte and we'll continue to enjoy life.
This is why Billy Connolly is the greatest stand-up ever. This is from 1981 - he was still just regarded as a relative newcomer. Five minutes of sublime story telling, like as if it was just you and him, in a pub somewhere...and then the payoff. My favourite joke/story. I would never tell it myself, just get people to watch him, the master.
I think his material really matured towards the later part of the 80's, and by matured I mean became really good, not necessarily grown up. As he says himself he's a child at heart.
A priest can't be appointed a monsignor it is a team of address like sir or madam roughly translated it means "my lord" it is only used to address someone of a certain ecclesiastical honorific.
What is he saying before "i went to Paris to study". They made me a *what* and a monsigor and i went to Paris to study" it sounds like, but im not sure.
Great Billy Connelly performace (aren't they all?) But i notice that these early 80's Billy Connelly shows is how strong his Glasweigan accent is. He sounds Scottish still but it's mellowed.
@killwill83 The same happend to me , i went to ireland for a while and all my irish family thought i sounded american though when i got back to america theya ll thought i sounded irish, i think it just happens when you hear the accent and are around it all the time
Why in the name of God Almighty himself did you have to bring that up here?
Seriously! This video has absolutely nothing to do with clerical sexual abuse and yet for some reason you just decided to be a sad, miserable bastard and stir the shit.
Basically it's a story about him telling a Cardinal to f*ck off when he was at school. (sorry for spoiling it)
I cannot think of a person who'd tell it with more class than Connolly. That's very true about him lacking punchlines. It's the entire structure of his delivery that's hilarious. A true legend.
the thing that always strikes me about billy connolly - his punchlines aren't brilliant, it's all about the obverall performance and the crescendo he builds the crowd into just before delivering the punchline
then, regardless of the punchline, everyones in hysterics. genius
Yeah its the picture he paints and the way he delivers the plot of his story. Like is this story, his voice is soft and comforting and casual but still exciting.....just as the general situation would be....and then he EXPLODES after "fuck off"
So acerb45666555 thinks this guy is a joke.... he only has billy connolly on his favorites to make fun of him. he thinks billy is a gay fucking fag who likes to fuck goats in the ass while strokeing its dick. thats just sick and not right.... so plz dear god attack this asshole
Not many comedians have the confidence to tell a joke that lasts five minutes and get a big laugh at the end, thats why Billy is the best, love his story telling.
"connolly what are ya doing?" "i'm erm looking for my dinner money" "your a liar get your hand outa your pocket before you hurt yourself you stupid boy" lmao
Wish I could tell a story like that. The first time I heard that one, I didn't see the punch-line coming, but when it did......... it was one of those moments where you laugh so much, you actually start to fear for you life.
He might be a celtic supporter, but I'm a hearts supporter... THAT makes him 10 times funnier than me tae start wi'... Aaaah catholic primary school, my best memory wus when they first did the mass in english... the priest said "go in peace, the mass is ended"... we all fuckin bolted oot the door...
You're right (I think), I'm sure I remember him saying "I'm a Partick supporter ma'sel" What I said about Celtic was in response to another comment :)~
That was good, but 'the crucifiction' is MUCH better... imho, I've only heard it on record though (the 'big red album' don't know the name) it goes for about 20mins. Classic lines like..."Jesus says, SHUT YER FACE, and his face was shut, for it is written, then he says, OPEN YER FACE, an he was a'right again, NOW LET THAT BE A LESSON TAE YI," and there was "see you Judas,yer gettin on ma tit's, so yi are"... hehehe classic
Scotland is great and billy is a national treasure, but imo, kilts and the scottish national dress makes you look like a body-builder dressed as a schoolgirl squeezing a tartan cat xP
I love this one. Going to see him on the 26th May in Killarney. I queued for 3 and a half hours this morning only to be the first ones told there was no tickets left for Cork. Was a bit pissed off! Still, I'd go anywhere to see him. Legend!
