billy connolly Wildebeest

[novaline99]

Billy is the best...

[Jazzygit]

Which standup is this from? Year? Name? Anything? :)

[AndyCoey]

@Jazzygit Its from 'Two night stand' Came out in about 1997. Utterly brilliant !

[DoctorPlausible]

I find it worth noting that his accent goes back to very Scottish when he does stand up in Glasgow.

[doorwindow7]

"Excuse me for being fucking born by the way"

Billy killed me with laughter there :D

[mactavishc]

Isn't Norway a strange shape?

Here's a Question for you...

If you were to take Norway, and stand it up on its Southern-most point, and allow it to fall forward in a Southerly direction, where would it's Northern-most point land?

[doorwindow7]

@mactavishc Morocco :P

Billy's got such a wonderfully funny life if these are the kinds of questions he gets asked at Christmas dinners :D

[Psychorror]

Half of this act was done in mime, and yet it's still hilarious.

[buzzindub]

brilliant very funny...

[Piccadillyo]

lol this was very eddie lzzard

[billyconnearly]

@Piccadillyo Sorry - you've got it tits up - Eddie Izzard is very Billy Connolly - do the maths for fuck's sake!

[bookeater]

I will ask a wildebeest this question one day "are you a wildebeest?'

[jerrygreg2]

@bookeater Don't be surprised if the answer is, "Gno, I'm a gnu."

Groan

[rpm297]

12 people, after watching this realized they're wildebeests. In a quiet fit of contempt, they clicked 'dislike'.

[Nimf]

I always do that wonderfully attractive laugh-snort at this joke.

[brido25]

the best  joke ever

[gunnerdude1293]

geography teacher put this on in class, thats how good it is !

[YuiDaoren]

12 wildebeests were offended by this bit.

[stiglaa]

@blahdiblah2010

Nope, 12 people are beige jobbies!!!

[tomitstube]

brilliant. billy never fails to crack my ass up. reminds of the movie 'dances with wolves', where kevin costner (i think) narrates how the poor buffalo just continue to eat while their buddies are being dropped by long range rifle.

or the ram, what is up with that? standing on you hind legs and bashing your heads together until one of you walks off a cliff...

remember to support groups that protect these majestic animals.

[tashpish]

billy can make a crowd laugh more with actions than most comedians can do with words!

he set the benchmark and no ones came close to beating him yet, the greatest comedian of all time!!

[diavarezable]

Agnes

[MrFrank8675309]

@diavarezable WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAA

[FacePalm62]

Billy's pure bestcunt.

[HeyHeyDoYouLikeTacos]

This has to be one of my favourite BC live shows. Dinner Party + Wilderbeest, unbeatable!

[SoulOnFireInside]

@HeyHeyDoYouLikeTacos

Yes! Yes! Yes! The Dinner Party! Every time I see someone who looks familiar my mind says to me 'I know you I do, I know you.' :-D But the lions and the wilderbeest yarn is my very favourite.

[HeyHeyDoYouLikeTacos]

@SoulOnFireInside Psst! Agnus! XD

[SoulOnFireInside]

@HeyHeyDoYouLikeTacos

Heh heh! The man's gifted!

[UnrealBoredom]

aaaaaaaaahahahaha! my favourite bill clip ever!!

[Atreadis]

a lion named Agnes.. brilliant..

[JBrads91]

he should take ove from attenborough!!!! haha

[LILLADYPAM]

............. :)

[barrypartington1945]

Billy has the knack of making you roar with laughter without even saying a word!!!!

[wildebeast1976]

The joke that spawned my nickname! Quality.

[PaddyRoon7]

"RUN YOU FUCKING IDIOT!!!! IF THEY LOOK UP YOURE FUCKIN HISTORY" this guy is just too funny

[RebeccaThomsonxxx]

AGNES!

[TheGreatStonedOne]

He looks like Highlander's dad.

[romeosmummy]

This man has a direct line to my funny bone (thanks for the quote Zombieland :))

[Donnamatrixlatex]

[upstatelugh]

[TheDjinn2]

Agnes 'n Betty. PMSLx2!!!!!!!!!

[hunnieglasgow]

NEVER, ever fails to make me laugh out loud, usually for quite a while too :-)))) Love it ........ ppsssstttt Agnes !!! PMSL :-))

[singaporegeorge]

he cant spell Wilde-beast (the GUY WHO POSTED THE VIDEO)

[tashpish]

@singaporegeorge its wildebeest you complete fud.

[wahaya2]

@singaporegeorge It's spelt Wildebeest.

At a guess - and this is a complete guess - it sounds Dutch, which would sorta make sense because the Dutch were a big presence in Africa during colonial times when all these names came about.

I've just been really boring and looked it up, and it seems that was a heck of a good guess! =D

[Pippincurl]

@wahaya2 Aye u right its dutch. Only the funny thing is roughly translated it means wildbeast, the name has been brought up by the crew of the fessel named "de Parel" (The Pearl) of which the captian used to write letters to a wildebeest where he was insanely in love with in Amsterdam.But later it turned out that in old Dutch wildebeest meant prostitute.

So the beardy dusty donkey with 2 horns, turns out to be actually a prostitute.

[123brand123]

Agnes................Agnes (cue hysterical hand gestures!)

[1988rangers]

PISSED MA SELF

[donalddukes1]

bake and watch this.so dam funny

[blahdiblah2010]

''THEY KNOW SOMETHING YOU DOOOOOOONT'' hahahaha THAT is the line that makes me scream haahhaa!!!!

[imogenwylie]

He looks like a lion :)

[cinderammaringdong]

this is so friggen funny

[srong12]

hard to believe a bad ass from boondocksaints is a comedian D:

[TheDjinn2]

@srong12

I think you'll find it's the other way around!

[danceoutnow]

screamin at the tele "run ya fuckin idiot!"  I'm not a fuckin wilderbeest. damnnn lmao

[billyconnearly]

This is the finest example of Billy's talent for imitation - he "becomes" a lioness..."talking"to the other lionesses!!

[dartmoordog]

The first time I ever saw this I hurt for hours afterwards

[dylan240269]

You can't rehearse this sort of stuff.....pure genius :)

[m3rmaid1985]

Bahahahahaha, Billy, you legend! That's GOLD! LMFAO that's exactly what i think when I'm watching Animal Docos lol

[justboy101]

anybody know what show this is from? is there a dvd release of it?

[TheAlienFan]

@justboy101 Aye,it's called Two Night Stand

[aluncon]

@justboy101 It's from a VHS called Live '94

[armenhammer9393]

8 people don't realize that Connolly's also Il Duce.

[andydale78]

@armenhammer9393 my god, the worst ... people don't ........ ever. bet that took a while to think of

[DinnaearguewiaFifer]

Funniest guy in the world in my opinion. Saw him at the Caird Hall in Dundee,fantastic! There's just an aura about the guy that makes you like him

[ReinaHW]

Ow....can't breath....that is still so funny! I love the hand expressions he does in this sketch, I miss that kind of humour. Brillant.

[GAkopyan31]

I've watched many comedy legends like Pryor and Mac...how in the world did I not know about Connolly until now? This guy's something else. Pure genius...Love ya, Billy :)

[fomoran]

@GAkopyan31 he was friends with George Calin for years (both comics had been keeping things going since the 70s) and was announced on stage for his first new york gig by Robin williams. He's hoping that you find some of his other work funny.

[beeniefide]

@GAkopyan31 how in the name of christ have you only just heard about Billy Connolly? he's been on the comedy circuit for 35 years plus.

[GAkopyan31]

@beeniefide I wish I knew him way earlier as I'm a die-hard comedy lover. However, here in the U.S. Connolly is actually not well-known, and neither are other famous international artists. Fortunately for youtube, I was able to discover huge internationally-acclaimed comedians like Connolly and Eddie Izzard, both of whom are on my top list of comic geniuses :)

[Purplehaze909]

where can I get the full video clip for this?

[wingzero0721]

"You see that dust? Thats every fuckin wildebeast in Africa!" My favorite line. I laughed so hard i damn near fell outta my chair.

[gersfan53]

fn top klass

[HikoSeijuroXIII]

"A wilderbeast?! That'll be right."

[JordanC6819]

8 heartbroken wildebeasts that thought they were flying zebras disliked this video

[CaroKawaii]

LOVE U BILLY !!!!

[CrookzDJ]

Agnes the Lion!! too funny, hahaha

[CrookzDJ]

Do you hear a lion!!! Funny as!!

[jonnyrisas]

sorry for being fucking born by the way....hahhahaha o my

[clairemawhinnie69]

totally hilarious

[TrailerPark92]

"ahm no a fuckin wildebeest" XD

[09chridald]

8 wilderbeest made youtube acc

[zulusafari1]

MANY WILDEBEEST OR GNUS

WALKING AROUND

AND NOT ONLY IN AFRICA

[fatalc999]

For me he doesnt quite beat gervais, maybe because im young, never the less still a funny man.

[niknarnevets]

@fatalc999 oh that's an intresting opinion, i'm not going to say your wrong, i disagree though, gervais is brillant, but billy is better i think, his timing,delivery and the actual jokes are funnier, i dnt think it's to do with being young though, as i'm 16, though i am scottish so i may be unintentionally bias

[CrookzDJ]

@fatalc999 "doesn't quite beat Gervais?" Aye right mate. It's your opinion, which is cool, but Gervais isnae a scratch oan Billy. Put them on stage the gither and I'll guarantee you that Billy willnae revert to a script!!! That's the difference bud. Gervais thinks about his shows. Billy just does it second nature.

[joasdragon]

which show is this? cuz I would love to see the whole show!!! :D

[doribluefish]

i gotta love this sketch, but can't tell if it's his best as so many others are so hilarious, but it is one i always remember lmfao

[XxFlashTuTorialsxX]

im one of those stripy things over there

[TheLoader101]

8 people havent a sense of humour lol

[cinderammaringdong]

@TheLoader101 so friggen funny

[cinderammaringdong]

@TheLoader101 laughed so hard tears ran down my face

[goodtaego]

One of Billy's best

[EdLoveFilms]

This guy should be knighted, or become the Patron Saint of Comedy, or something!

[riry0ku]

@EdLoveFilms He has been knighted. He's Sir Billy Connoly.

[EdLoveFilms]

@riry0ku I'm not sure a CBE is a knighhood, but at least it's recognition. Shame we couldn't watch him meet the Queen :)

[fnrsknmer]

@EdLoveFilms He's not Sir. I hope we can say "Not yet".

What I love about this sketch is that the lioness is called Agnes. It reminds one of his stories about his family, where there was Auntie Agnes... (- What are you knitting, Agnes? - Don't know yet. - - And the balaclava she knitted for him...)

[EdLoveFilms]

@fnrsknmer Yeah, it's the classic maximum contrast. Names straight out of Coronation Street: Agnes & Betty :)

[georgeharrison22543]

@SCO77Y100 Pretty much. Either way, I think he's gorgeous. <3

[Bluexxtears]

AHAHAHHAHA

[NorwegianHaubitzer]

He is a legend in my eyes, but still this is way to similar to Richard Pryor's work.

[11DNA11]

@NorwegianHaubitzer Both are still very original. I sorta have more of a George Carlin feeling when i watch Billy's stand up.

[Autonova]

Are you a wildebeest?

Ah fuck you kiddin?!

[Andyilmatto]

I love this bloke!

[georgeharrison22543]

Speaking of lions, he sort of reminds me of one of the cute and cuddly lions that won't kill you...

[bowie731]

billy is the funniest man ever

[theyachtypond]

the funniest guy in the world ...end of.just dont forget he learned his comedy from wee matt mcginn.

[YorkGod]

"RUN YA FUCKING IDIOT"! That was best bit 3:50

[pderop]

somehow, this is the least funny clip I've seen from Billy Connolly, which isn't saying much, my stomach still hurts. Try search for Billy Connolly cookbook, that one 'll kill ya :)

[jord565]

great sketch i'm criying



[madammashed]

"excuse me for being fucking born by the way" can't remember how many times I've saw this clip but that line still gets me every time ! :)

[VioLenTBlaZex1]

[tumblingdice2010]

I like a lot of different comedians, but when I watch Billy Connolly it's like he's in a different league to the others. Definitely a comedic legend.

[PurpleSurgeon]

genius

[bookeater]

I just love "Are you a Wildebeest? Fuck. Ya kiddin?"

[newdispenser]

Which DVD can I find he Wildebeest sketch on ?

[0611dean]

@newdispenser TWO NIGHT STAND DVD 1997 tour.

[newdispenser]

[dozysplot]

agnes and betty the lions . . has me in tears of laughter everytime i hear this . . .

[leeisagod]

did you hear a lion? ive got a liony kind of feeling

[billyconnearly]

Ye see - this is not comedy...it's real life which is always funnier than "comedy" Billy brought this vision into the public domain, to be followed by everybody and his Granny!

[psychobollox]

@billyconnearly

pretty accurate, i'd say ...

this is 'observational comedy'... it's a bit like social anthropology but...

well, a social anthropologist writes a paper on what's been observed, whereas the observational comedian takes the piss out of it... at least - that's how it seems to me...

[hunnieglasgow]

possibly the funniest thing I have ever seen I LOVE Billy Connolly :-D

[xebaydotcodotuk]

this must be in the top 5 funniest things i have ever seen in my life. the best part is the other 4 is alsop by billy. absolutely brilliant

[billyconnearly]

BILLY actually BECOMES Wildebeest here - his talent for impersonation is amazing! "Did you hear a lion?" - "Just got a Liony feel aboot the place!"

[tashpish]

[shiftwork]
