On Monday, us kids who were able to stay up to watch him couldn't wait to tell our classmates about his mad cap comedy sketches. Being a through Irishman he never took his background serious, his piss-take on religion, sex, & everyday life was hilarious. Another great comedian sorely missed in this time of mediocrity.

Arthur Grigoropoulos not funny
My dad's favourite comedian. I injured my leg laughing so much at one of his live gigs in Melbourne back in he 80's. The injury to the leg? An irish tragedy: I kicked it up in a fit of laughter so hard at Dave's antics, that my shin caught the sharp cast iron base of the seat in front of me- causing me to laugh and cry at the same time.
I was laughing so hard at a show of his back int the 80's, my side hurt for 2 days afterwards. The greatest comedian I have ever seen!
😃😃 oh dear!
I would of loved to see that.. laughing at your pain and agony along with Dave Allen would be money well spent.. 👍😂
Sorry 😂😂😂
Very few comedians can bring their chemistry to the stage, and make their formula work.
A master class in comedic timing and delivery and so very funny. What a guy......sadly missed.
A grand master ... truely missed
Had me laughing out loud. Got to be one of the funniest jokes told by one of the funniest men ever ;)
A perfect example of comedy, absolutely flawless both in verbage and delivery.
...the third hand is the second... Absolute masterpiece
I watched this when it came out when i was a boy. It is still really hilarious now. Fantastic man Dave Allen.
I was to young to appreciate him in the 70s but now I'm older, what a legend. How come 4 dislikes, are you mad.
Catholics
one of the best irish comics ever and this must be the best dave allen did
One of the best comics ever!
Never mind Best Irish just one of the best ever
Brilliant stuff from a truly great comedian, sadly missed. Modern comics could learn a lot from this man. He only swears for emphasis and when he does he uses it like a verbal grenade........
As you say Brilliant stuff,this really is comedy at its best,what i don"t understand is that i have got the Best of Dave Allan on DVD but for some weird reason it don"t have this sketch included on it,yet it has to be among the best he done!
@@andysmith4351 The Best of Dave Allen DVD is a BBC Production from 70s/80s - this series was from Carlton for ITV in 1993
He is the best. All 3 hands down.🤣
This man is absolute genius British humour at its finest can't get enough of it.
Eh sorry but he wasn't British in any way.
Irish
I'm Irish Catholic with Irish parents. British and Irish humour have their intersectional points. Dubliners receive British broadcasts and vice versa on Britain's west. Much of it is similar and loved in both islands.
@@anthonywhelan5419 Still doesn't mean that Dave Allen or his humour was British. and what has catholic got to with it?
Strangely enough, it was a Spaniard who had lived in Sweden for years, now back in Spain, who brought Dave Allen up in the conversation at lunch today - gracias Roman!
Have to agree,"His timing and delivery were perfect".
I miss him.
How on earth did this genius comic remember his script? Even I couldn't keep up and I wasn't trying 'live on stage'!
Found this today as a 27 year old and it's hilarious. Genius 😂
Pure genius!
I've always got time for Dave Allen!
Masterful!!! King of Comedy!!!
how do I watch it again and again and laugh again and again
I used to watch \at Large when I was much much younger. Always liked his material, the Two Ronnies, and of course Benny Hill.
canada mann Jasper Carrott Stuff also brilliant observation-comedy at it's best, his 'car insurance claim-forms ' absurdities of how we completely lose it' absolutely brilliant!
I'll give you everyone else, but Benny Hill - you can't be serious.
Rest In Everlasting Peace Dave Allen comedy genius 🕊️🙏🤍🇮🇪💯
Anybody who is currently on here and loves this guy as much as me watch BBC2 tonight Dave Allen night.Saturday TV suddenly is worth watching.Words can't express this man's ability to have u in stitches talking about life
My generation grew up with Dave Allen so all you young ones out there might not be able to read a clock but you should now understand the meaning of the generation gap, yes?
have got to show this to my adult children and my grandchildren.. happy days watching Dave..
greatest comedian ever genius. x r.I.p.
How I loved him, the best of the best, I liked other comedians but Dave was top of the tree. His jokes about shall we say the Vatican just thinking about them make me laugh. A true genius and so sadly missed.
Dave Allen is the greatest comedian of all time, period. Never noticed his left finger until now. God bless him.
I had scene this video manyyy years ago and had forgitten the title. I was seriching the video now which various titles and finally, oh my goodness, finally I got it. I m soo glad. , (2021)
He's hilarious!
Master comedian and Raconteur extraordinaire. This sketch had me in tears of laughter. Took me some time - the fat hand moved a little - to recover.
Use to love watching his shows. So good to see them on KZhead.
I have a 9 year old girl and a 6 year old boy and I have just been taught a valuable lesson! There's a man that went "all the way!"!
just brilliant and one of the best
My parents gave up trying to teach me how to tell the time on a standard clock and bought me a digital watch. 😂 My brother told me to watch "Playschool" which was for nursery aged kids and I learned to tell the time on a standard clock. I was 10 years old at the time. 😂
I watched Dave Allen at large in Canada when I was growing up in the '70s and it always felt like a guilty pleasure even though I was only 8 years old but I love this guy
Brilliant love this because its so true Dave was a legend and one off rip dave
One of my all time favourite comedians ever! Simply brilliant and one of those people you wish had never died so he could just continue to entertain.
22 years later and still funny!!
Ronan FitzGerald: 24 & still funny. 👌
Actually, it's 25 years 🗓⌚
26 years and hilarious..
27 years later and it's not only funny but it's true.
He was a very clever and funny man. His comedy was top class.
I saw him do this routine at Albert Theatre and it’s still as funny now as then Got the privilege of cabbing both him and his family just before he died And he still was up to his comedic Best even then Miss him Great comic
Simply brilliant
I don't know why this video appeared in my homepage today, but I don't regret watching it. Hilarious!
Dave Allen, my all time favourite comedian.

I have seen this several times before, but it doesn't seem to matter... I laughed so much my jaw is hurting :D
