Nigol66. I was watching this for the same reason. My dad passed two weeks before his birthday last August and he was a big fan of Dave Allen. We really resonated with the Catholic humour as he was raised a Catholic too. We always found his sketches so hilarious and always think of my dad when I watch him. This is my way of spending time with my dad over Christmas as it’s my first Christmas without him. RIP to our dads and to the amazing comedian Dave!!! he brought us so much laughterAnd I’m so grateful for the times we spent together enjoying his humour🥂💗💯💯⭐️✨💫

I can still picture him sitting in the bosses chair, as he used to call it, laughing so much that he had tears in his eyes. I of course hadn't a clue why. If only my dad knew his real surname was Tynan, the same as ours...I could imagine my dad saying if he knew that fact back then..that makes sense alright. Lol always makes me smile.

Not just one of Britain's greatest verbal comedic talents, Dave Allen showed the absurdity in the everyday, the mundane and most of all, a humans capacity for both good and evil in a way that only someone without a sense of humour would ignore. It didn't matter if a belief in the supernatural was required, to Dave, all that mattered was if you laughed, then he had done his job. He never treated his audiences as if they're a bunch of ill informed idiots, only there to be insulted, for him it was a privilege to make you laugh, to think and with any luck, to leave his shows with a new-found hope for the future. Although he's no longer with us, he'll live on in our hearts and memories. To Dave Allen, gods favourite Atheist, Rest In Peace.

Dave Allen was a unique and very great comic talent. Outwardly, he was urban, relaxed and charming to a fault. Inwardly, he was driven by rage and anger against the mundane and the banal in everday life and Establishment hypocrisy wherever he found it, whether in the church or state. His humour was observational and personal but universal in its appeal. It spoke to, and for, us. I miss him still.

Dave Allen's urbane, observational, comedic style drew from a deep well of anger and sardonic contempt for the totems of the Irish society in to which he was born: church; state, class. He exposed hypocrisy where he saw it and railed against the absurdities of the age in which he lived wherever he saw them. He was a true original. I can think of no comedian in my lifetime who I miss more.

your comment caught my attention, as I enjoyed watching when I was not supposed to as my mum disapproved, but I loved reading your comment and memories you have about your father, and very much likewise and its great to see Dave here and recall those times and wishing you all the very best👍
@@cosmicswan1922 I wanted to echo a lot of what you have said and thank you for your great comment and thoughts and recollections which to a great extend I can share and wishing you all the very best
Exact same reason. Exact! 😌🙏
@@mscedel1895 👍🙏
There will never be anybody like this anymore - he was such a unique genius. RIP
There will never be anyone like anyone again
Yes, he was indeed
My Dad also, I am now older than he was when he popped his clogs.
@@gregdales8627 same. I don't feel as old as he seemed to me.
unique and so meticulous about every gesture, behavior and wording which made him absolutely out of this world like someone watching us ... and criticize us and show how ridiculous we are🤪
It is September, 2023.. I was in my mid 20's and found this man's humor so on point..
Dave Allen will be sorely missed! - The world needs more like him more than ever!! 😞
He will be sorely missed? He died nearly 20 years ago.
❤
Loved watching Dave Alan back in the day today’s society don’t have the same sense of humour as we did
I’m 62. In the 1970s me and my Dad used to watch him and have a great laugh. A comic Titan was Dave Allen.
Those were the days, when no one got offended, great comedian 😏
I am also 62. Enjoy your life Comedy is what we loved and do live.
I'm 87 and just found Dave Allen last year. I just love every thing about him .... ............ 1:36:20 him
Immediately takes me home to England on a Saturday night, watching t.v with my parents and sisters. Such happy days.
Unforgettable, irreplaceable, original and witty Dave. RIP, Dave and thank you for the laughs.
😊😊😊
Dr de❤🎉😢😮
You couldn’t get away with these jokes today. I’m glad I grew up with a sense of humor & a legend
Theres nothing wrong with the jokes now. Stop pandering to silly ideas. Were better than that
Very true! The PC police would blow these jokes out of the very shallow water of virtue signaling.
Yep. Jokes about exits and geese are not tolerated today!
@@lesley585 I can honestly say there are no comedians today that make me laugh
@@judyparsons1333 I don't know if your comment was cut short. If not, I wish you happiness / laughs you can find ✌️
My Dad R.I.P. was the exact same he loved watching Dave Allen back in the 80s & 90s when I was a kid growing up in Ireland. Dave was he's favorite comedian of all time. I can still picture him sitting in the bosses chair, as he used to call it, laughing so much that he had tears in his eyes. I of course hadn't a clue why. If only my dad knew his real surname was Tynan, the same as ours...I could imagine my dad saying if he knew that fact back then..that makes sense alright. Lol always makes me smile. Comedy Genius David Tynan legend. R.I.P.
One of the greatest comedians ever👍👍
I watched him with my father as a young child, I am now 60 and he is just as funny and entertaining today. An irreplaceable icon who's memory will live on. Thank you for all the laughs I shared with my father. RIP Dave and thank you for the fond memories.
Best there was, will never be another like him
Dear Clinton Hegarty ... you never know ... I think Dave himself would want laughter to go on, hence he'd wish for someone to make us fools laugh. Yep I understand and share your love for him.
I agree
Both Dave Allen and Spike Milligan I would say.
There won't be anyone like anyone ever again
I so miss this gentle and quite intriguing way of pointing out what's wrong with this world. A genius at work, sadly missed and never equalled ❤
Not just one of Britain's greatest verbal comedic talents, Dave Allen showed the absurdity in the everyday, the mundane and most of all, a humans capacity for both good and evil in a way that only someone without a sense of humour would ignore. It didn't matter if a belief in the supernatural was required, to Dave, all that mattered was if you laughed, then he had done his job. He never treated his audiences as if they're a bunch of ill informed idiots, only there to be insulted, for him it was a privilege to make you laugh, to think and with any luck, to leave his shows with a new-found hope for the future. Although he's no longer with us, he'll live on in our hearts and memories. To Dave Allen, gods favourite Atheist, Rest In Peace.
Dave Allan mother was English. He looked after his brother who became very ill.
He was brilliant Irish Comedian
THE epitome of Irish humour! - God bless Dave Allen 😀😀👍👍👍👍
I haven’t laughed like that in a very long time. God bless Dave Allen.
Me too! So fantastic to have good 70ties comedy to laugh at again, takes me back to my childhood and when all the family watched this show together. Thank you whoever put this on YT!
World shut your mouth .
World shut.
Tear drop.explodres
Teardrop Explodes
Loved this. It brought back memories of when I was a kid. You can't get humour like this anymore
You can... they just don't want kids to "think differently" with independent thought nowadays.
Dave Allen was always a privilege to watch. Classic. I'm now a member of AA. One night when I had the courage to share (a god of your understanding). I quipped "May your God go with you 😮. I am still in AA.😮
Dave Allen was a unique and very great comic talent. Outwardly, he was urban, relaxed and charming to a fault. Inwardly, he was driven by rage and anger against the mundane and the banal in everday life and Establishment hypocrisy wherever he found it, whether in the church or state. His humour was observational and personal but universal in its appeal. It spoke to, and for, us. I miss him still.
Someone read a dictionary 😂
How well written I agree Dave Allen was the best and sexy too !
@@rozannesaunders5513 ABSOLUTELY REALLY sexy.
You know full well this would never get made today. Too many TV bosses too scared of upsetting someone. A pity really.
Davinia how true well said indeed
G9Od must have a sense f humour or we would ot havehad the joy of his humour!!!
Indeed Davinia, it would not. But it's not that they're scared of upsetting some blue haired, unstable, Jo bloggs... you simply cannot speak against the narrative, therefore, you most certainly can't mock it.
So true
Not that he was so very un-pc or offensive. But the idea of a person just being able to sit in a chair, no props or gimmicks or even much movement, and just be side splittingly funny and entertaining, would never occur to them. And no one around today could do it like Dave either.
brilliant storyteller
Just brilliant! A true comedian❤
Terrible attacks on Mother Church!! I watched this when young; I'm 76. Really made me realise how silly religion is. So ahead of it's time. Thanks Dave
And look how much the Irish miss the "silly" old order, now that it's gone and the slippery slope approaches rockbottom...!
The Irish are great storytellers, none more so than dave allen❤❤❤
Comedic genius ahead of his time. Thank you for sharing.
Very ahead of his time
Dave Allen magic! We would watch him in the 1970s and early '80s - totally mesmerized. Caught this tonight and my pets were wondering around signaling confusion because feeding time was delayed 2 hours due to Mommy lost in this man's incredible talent. Thanks for sharing ❤
My favourite comedian of all time
We loved watching Dave Allen when we lived in the UK in London back in the 70s and early 80s. He's a gem. Thank you Dave Allen for all the wonderful laughs. RIP. ❤
absolutely brilliant watched as a kid , his jokes are just timeless ...superb
As a male!!!! //Lars
Lovely man, great great comedian RIP Dave. In heaven they are laughing.
I grew up watching Dave Allen, and it was brilliant to re-watch his shows at different ages and understand more and more jokes. To this day, I can re-watch and laugh no matter how many times I've seen the routine. What a treasure this man was. 💜
Listening/watching this while in the gym. Laughing quietly and grinning like a Cheshire Cat. Comedians can't tell a story like Dave Allen. Amazing talent.
Thanks, Dave Allen, for bringing laughter Into our house.
Used to watch Dave Allen years ago. Great comedian.
AAWWH!! R.I.P. DAVE ALLEN . HILARIOUSLY ! FUNNY FOR THE DURATION OF HIS TIME ON EARTH . FROM U.K.(2021).
The tenner under the car wheel is,for me,one of the greatest tv jokes ever,it encapsulates everything about a man who without doubt one of our greatest comedians
Ten bob note, 50p in new money!
The greatest man on earth God bless him
@@stormbringerseven8288 It was a £10 note.
What an absolute blessing in these dark days! Laughter is the best ever medicine! ❤️❤️
Unless you have diabetes. Then insulin is the best medicine
It also raises your immune system over %59 x
DAVE ALLEN was so hilarious and witty.. Loved sitting down with my family as a kid watching him. Some of the jokes I obviously didn't understand but now re-watching his show I understand and can't stop laughing. He is 1 of a kind 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I loved watching Mr Dave Allen, he was such a funny man, & I used to enjoy his jokes, with a cigar in one hand, & a scotch in the other, he was just something else. RIP DAVE.
What a storyteller! Used to watch this years ago.
Best comedian ever in my book . I used to cry at his jokes.
I still do....and I watched him as kid...many years ago!
One of the absolute best doing what he did so well. R.I.P.
Dave Allen was a Genius. So funny. His jokes reflect a time that I remember as a child that is now sadly long gone. You don’t get comedians like him anymore. Still makes me laugh in a way that is not matched today.
Hilarious sad at carnival thought about pirate
Dave Allen, the one and only.
He had the best parting shot ever. "May your god go with you" Totally neutral.
love dave so handsome rip
Who wouldn't want Dave as a dad. What a wonderful wit. And came from Rathfanham ,just like me. Many years have passed since his departure, but leaves us all still laughing 😂😂RIP Dave.
"some day we'll have hot summer"; shame you weren't still here to enjoy it when it came in 2022 Dave. I would love to have heard you comment on this madness we are in the midst of here now
"By the year 2020 there will be standing room only" Standing beside one another was the last thing on anyone's mind in 2020!
Lol right, trying to guage 6 feet apart.
The tenner under the car wheel. Classic.
When a tenner was a lot of money!
@@jimsimpson1006 When it was worth over $20, now it's only worth about $11.
Man, I miss Dave. He was brilliant. Peace
Growing up in the 1980s i saw his 70s shows on repeat and his current stuff at that time, Dave Allen was Comedy Gold.
My Dad always used to watch Dave Allen many many years ago whilst having a drink and a smoke. I now do the same. A very funny man that still makes me laugh today. Good Night and may your God go with you.
Saw him live he was superb
Lucky devil I was child when he was round
Ok, back to the Live Girls Dancing in Soho. You could not have seen him dead!
I discovered him, first, in 1971 and, since, he has made me laugh through good, and very bad, times. Every time tears come to my eyes, because of family I situation, I go back to his shows and, even if I almost know most by heart, he brigs my smile and optimism for the rest of the day. Wherever he is, I know “ his God is with him” RIP my good friend
Me as well...funny as hell...he announced he had stopped smoking and someone in the audience called out: "What do you do with your fingers now?" Without missing a beat, Allen retorted, "Come up here and I'll show you!" Brought the house down!
Thanks for the humour Dave, you’re the best ever❤️😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
In a class of his own and still so dearly missed. Dave Allen was pure comedy genious.
Our family loved him, and my father would holler too! Great storyteller, thanks Dave!!
He was compulsive viewing in our house in the 60s (I moved out in 71) and then beyond and my mother was an Irish Catholic. My parents would howl with laughter and listening to some of these videos again, I still do. Brilliant.
my parents from wales uk went to zambia (africa) copper mines for lifestyle change in the 1970z and i as a small boy would whatch dave on zambian tv believe it or not ..i pissed me self laughing and still do
People say oh, this guy or that guy was an original, but this guy Dave Allen truly was an original and no one like him since.
As a kid, I found his Statistical jokes so so hilarious. I love irish humour Dermot Morgan as Father Ted being one of my Fav comedy shows. You just don't get this quality of content anymore on TV very good memories thanks for posting this.
my Grandfather adored the ground he walked upon, even recorded a series off BBC in early 80s and still had it till he died 4 years ago... i loved Dave Allen too......
I seriously believe this video gave me glimpse of how it must feel to be in some paradise (not saying I know anything about paradise n stuff, but this was a pleasure better then sex or liquor ... or sex n liquor ... not saying I know anything about sex or liquor stuff I am a born muslim n practising Zen celebate monk - unofficially though). This gentleman is a pure gift in a world full of mixed blessings.
When you think of paradise it must be hell for someone. lol
@@daviniarobbins9298 Trust me Davinia my friend my own fantasies change so much that my own paradise would be my own hell depending on time and my mood. BTW my paradise has no problems with sex, liqour, food choices ... I only insist that genuine belly laughter is a must. Dear Dave provides excellent laughter, may my soul stay near his ... wherever I go while I am alive or when I die.
@@koulster2 my brother-in-law, a Kiwi, went to Darumsala and stayed with some monks. As a cross-cultural attempt he showed them the video of "The Life of Brian".They sat dutifully thru the movie, but laughed uproariously only at the skit where Brian falls into a crater and lands on the foot of a Monk who breaks 30 years of silence with an "OWW"!"
Classic. Kenny everett las dawson ronnie barker dave allen they were the days.
Pure joy to watch! - sadly missed, loved his shows,lovely memories with family watching him ❤️
These skits and jokes were a great memory test for me and surprisingly I could still recall the punchlines for many of his classics. Proper comedy in an era when the world had a sense of humour and people weren't afraid of taking the piss.
I don't see Frankie Boyle losing fans in legions; plenty of people still take the piss, but I know what you mean.
thanks dave, " And may your god go with you "
Dave your were brilliant
Dave Allen was the best. Still funny all these years later. 😂
I frickin' love this dude I'm smiling like jackass in approval of everything he says!! Wherever you are I hope it's a suitable place for you!!
Ireland's best greetings from Scotland 🏴
watched dave allen when he first was shown on BBC 1971, top comic, sadly missed, very underrated
Humour is the breakdown and delivery of observation. How good comedian you are is how good your observation is. Dave Allen was a master.
Although with a different delivery style, Billy Connolly is also another brilliant observer. One of my all-time favourite Dave Allen sketches is Telling the Time - it's up there with the Two Ronnies' Four Candles. Laughing even as I'm writing this!
Brilliant! Brought back some very pleasant memories I didn't realise my brain still held. Not so much the monologues, but I genuinely could remember how some of the sketches ended as soon as they started.
Smart, sharp, debonair & witty
Dave is one of the all time best observational comedians. Dick Emery, Benny Hill & the 2 Ronnies Smith & Jones were also brilliant.
One of the funniest and greatest comedians ever ! R.I.P.
I used to love watching Dave Allen in the late 1980s on PBS in the US.
I remember every living back on Long Island in the 70s. And watching every Sunday night's on Channel 9 at 11 and crying myself to sleep. A true master.
Dave Allen is a legend and my favourite comedian. Thanks for sharing
Dave Allen's urbane, observational, comedic style drew from a deep well of anger and sardonic contempt for the totems of the Irish society in to which he was born: church; state, class. He exposed hypocrisy where he saw it and railed against the absurdities of the age in which he lived wherever he saw them. He was a true original. I can think of no comedian in my lifetime who I miss more.
Find myself watching this more the older i get! Memories of me and my dad creasing up 😂💖
Man was the greatest UK comedian
After years not seeing dave Allen it was a complete treat a reminder of how much we used to laugh at his jokes and humour these days theres not one comedian who would compare to Dave Allen Peter Sellers or spike Milligan and That wonderfull voice and comedian Harry Secom and all those pommy comedians that are and were incomparable to anyone today the closest was Billy Connely but he was still old school but i cant think of any Bob Hope was bloody boring compared to the good old rude and send ups of English and Irish comedians they were hilarious there were others like On The Buses and Morcam and Wise the two Ronnies all those funny guys and ladies who starred in the carry on series and god i cant remember the rest but they were all so iconic nothing like that these days anyway we enjoyed them all it was a great relief to have a good laugh in the evening it allways put us in a good mood but anyway those were the days of great comedians and after that came Monty Python 😂😂😂😂😂!,,!!! Allways look on the bright side of Life 😂😂😂😂while hes hanging on the cross 😂😂😂😂hahahahahaha I loved It i need a bit of that now I reckon at the of allmost 81+ age or a bit of faulty towers and so on anyway thats all gone now and the younger generations havent got any sense of humour at all its all too politically correct too bad nevermind thats life moving on 💟☮️☸️🕉️🛐🇦🇺🇮🇩🇺🇦🌈🌈☔️☔️🌻🦋🍀❤️🧡🌏😍😍🥰🦋🌻🧡peace and love to all 🙏🙏🙏😂😂😂
Totally understand and agree with you, but if I may, you forgot another beloved comic of mine, namely Benny Hill ❤😂🤣 😅 Greetings from Canada & Happy Holidays 💥
I used to watch this with my grandparents in the 80s you brought back alot of great memories, thanks so much for posting this.
The greatest ever
This is true. My sister said to me, when I was up a tree, "if you break a leg don't come running to me." And my mother when describing an untrustworthy person, "he/she will have the milk out of your tea and come back for the sugar." It's no wonder the English don't get us.
“Sure the tea was so strong you could trot a mouse over it”. But I’m English….
@@jonjames7328 Excellent! But the message was, somehow they'd steal the milk out of your cuppa. Then have the audacity to come back and steal the sugar from the same cup of tea.
Loved him as a kid. Seems I still do. 👍
Thank you. Brilliance at his best. Always.
Dave, Allen you were amazing, may your god go with you 🙏
Class act, all the way.
British humour at its best 😂
Irish that is...
@@mirjanamilojevic7747 so sorry my bad ,amazing Irish humour 😊
@@joannefarrugia429 And me sorry too, for being such a shrew... but me hubby is Irish Canuck 🤩💖‼️
THE ONE.....THE ONLY.... The very first -stand-up- sit-down comediant of my childhood (Yugoslavia)
His comedy was brilliant!
In high school, I used to watch Dave Allen. At school, I would laugh with a friend of mine who also watch them. What a great memory.
Dave Allen was one of the first comedians to tell stories or observational comedy. Of course, Billy Connelly would be in that category as well. Sadly missed Rip ❤
All time favorit❤️
Absolute legend. I watched with great admiration which reminded me when I was younger
Me , mum and dad used to watch the Dave Allan show in the late 70s . The good old days .
What a great witty and very funny man. Always watched his shows as a kid normally after getting home after the watershed time when I got home from Army Cadets. I can relate to the jokes a lot more now and they never age .RIP Dave Allen or live it up with your god who was with you.
I'm delighted to find this. Dave Allen was my dad's favorite comedian. This reminds me of growing up in the 80s in Ireland watching this with him. Now introducing my American wife to his fantastic comedy.
